I would pass on HTRYC and just get The Amateurs Mind, he says basically the same thing in both, but in the Amateurs mind he highlights the key points, and if you read them both like I did, you get the feeling that both could have been combined into one book as theres so much overlap, I really dont think there's any 1 concept exclusive to either book
I read them both and it felt like I read 1 book twice, perhaps he was just trying to make extra $
