Undoubtedly. Books have been an incredible teacher, and were the things that got me introduced to Nootropics.

In terms of this subreddit and the benefits most of us take nootropics for, I think the sector of memory books are more of what we're looking for. (Although I do agree with the power of your list, I've gifted the Slight Edge dozens of times.)

I would highly recommend Remember It by Nelson Dellis. While the book is written in a very playful way, the techniques are by far explained best by him. (I've read 15+ books on memory improvement and techniques.)

If you have some time to spare and want to immediately remember names better, or learn a language, his book has helped me more than any smart drug has.
