This relatively short non-technical book by Jensen stands out from the rest. It received substantially positive reviews in the academic journals and is worth reading to this day for inspiration. Below is a list of reviews I found. Many of these appear to have never been cited once, which is a pity.

There appears to be a rather large number of other reviews by prominent authors, but Google Scholar can’t seem to find me even the journal names they were published in.
