Just got an awesome book-sharing request from a workshop I'm attending this weekend. I am totally stealing this to use in future workshops (and I hope others will steal it too).pic.twitter.com/eJCFvIqYmZ

If you're a fan of Proofs, you should check out Pólya's plausible reasoning books. He was a big (and acknowledged) influence on Lakatos.

Have you (tried to) read his "Mathematics and plausible reasoning" or "Mathematical discovery" books? They are I think much better than the much more well known "How to solve it?"- less generic and more advanced examples, among other things.

I read much of "Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning", but eventually gave up (I was learning little). I think I read parts of half a dozen or more books by Polya, and in general got little out of them.
