For those who haven't picked up Art of Insight in Science and Engineering, table of contents here:

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/free_dow...

"This book shows you how to build insight and understanding first, so that you do not drown in complexity. Therefore, our approach will not be rigorous -- for rigor easily becomes rigor mortis or paralysis by analysis"

That's not the table of contents, that's the whole book.

Its CC "The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering: Mastering Complexity by Sanjoy Mahajan (author) and MIT Press (publisher) is licensed under the Creative Commons At- tribution–Noncommercial–ShareAlike 4.0 International License"

I'm sure including the whole book is easier

No doubt it's easier, but it's worth mentioning :)
