That strategies book is the third in a series of four, and I really can't see myself ever reading four books on chess. This seems more of a summary?
This one looks interesting too:
Amazon.com: How to Reassess Your Chess, Fourth edition (9781890085131): Jeremy Silman: Books
Winning Chess Strategies is a book that helps a ton of players make a breakthrough in their games. It helps them get their head on straight, and quiets all the anxious thoughts of "Oh no, he's deviated from the lines I know," and organizes all of the situational "advice" that chess players pick up. It helps you be a strong positional player, which is most often the difference between an expert and a mid-level class player.
I've used Play Winning Chess with my youngest students. There are great things in it, but I suspect Winning Chess Strategies will serve you better.
The Silman book is OK. He's a good writer and has good ideas.We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

I have been teaching my son to play. When I was a teen I used to play quite a bit in local tournaments and stuff, I have good memories of it, but lately I'm just trying to teach my son. Maybe he and I can enroll in a tournament together and spend some time one Saturday doing that.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

My mom and I had a tradition of playing chess when I'd wake up in the middle of the night sick. Highly recommend. It took my mind off being sick, and more often than not, I'd hit the sack before the game was up, so mom could get some sleep.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Garry Kasparov recently did a podcast with Eric Weinstein where they talk a little chess and a lot of politics.

He's an interesting follow on Twitter.
