"...this e-book celebrates the breadth and depth of the For Dummies series, offering 20 chapters - in honor of our 20 years - from a list of books compiled by our global colleagues. We are confident the chapters we've included give you a representative glimpse at why - no matter what the topic - our products have meant so much to so many by Making Everything Easier."Sometimes less is more. This is a collection of 20 totally random chapters that will give you a very strange reading experience. It is potluck if there is anything that holds your interest. And in the one chapter that I happen to know a lot about, I found something major that was not correct. Which makes me wonder.
I skimmed through most of the chapters. I am glad this was a free copy, otherwise I would have been very frustrated. Don't bother. Use Wikipedia instead.

I absolutely love these "For Dummies" books. This "A Little Bit of Everything" is no different I just expected more. I did however, enjoy the glimpse it gave. You are never to d to learn something new and the "For Dummies" series breaks it down for the simplest of simpletons.

Not much that I was interested in, but that is just me. I guess it could be good for others.
Having been the go-to guidebooks for a good number of years now, the Dummies Guide produced this selection as a sort of introduction to their style of teaching. The subjects covered in this book include: eating clean, meditation, compassion focussed therapy, nutrition, Windows 10, coding, iPhone for seniors, GoPro cameras, business planning, Office 2016, small business marketing strategies, investing, blogging, Facebook, eBay, LinkedIn, guitar, bridge, chess and digital photogr
3.5 stars, really.Having been the go-to guidebooks for a good number of years now, the Dummies Guide produced this selection as a sort of introduction to their style of teaching. The subjects covered in this book include: eating clean, meditation, compassion focussed therapy, nutrition, Windows 10, coding, iPhone for seniors, GoPro cameras, business planning, Office 2016, small business marketing strategies, investing, blogging, Facebook, eBay, LinkedIn, guitar, bridge, chess and digital photography.
The trouble is, in some instances, it's just one chapter from the original Dummies Guide book. I don't really need to know how to buy my first guitar. I'd sooner know how to tune the thing. I don't really care about computers or LinkedIn so, I'll be honest, I skimmed those chapters.
I did find the chapters on playing bridge and chess interesting, and the writing is concise, not overly flamboyant, it does what it needs to do and, let's face it, when you're learning about a new subject, that's what you need. I'd certainly recommend the Dummies Guide books if this large sampler is anything to go by. However, this book itself is a little confusing, given that it is a mish-mash of multiple subjects which have little, if anything, to do with each other.

The Dummies book series has been pretty popular throughout my childhood, and as a result I remember seeing them here and there in libraries and bookshops. Back in the day where learning how to use DOS was the only thing you needed to know about PC and technology.
Things are moving fast nowadays so I'm not sure how much of this info is still relevant, and although they re up to date with chapters on I've got a free copy of this book so I won't complain, plus I knew what I was getting myself in to.

Things are moving fast nowadays so I'm not sure how much of this info is still relevant, and although they re up to date with chapters on 'social media' and 'trends' etc. I still find it like a little read, that I'd recommend to a younger public, more than a real go-to guide to improve your knowledge about a specific topic.
Great fro travelling or when short distance journey, or whenever in need to kill some time. ...more
I liked this book series because face it,all of us deep down inside us are sometimes dummies. so all you skeptics out there,go stick it and suck my d#$$! MOTHER-F@!$!
Otherwise, it's not a terrible guide. It just never feels validated by anything.
The authors refused to take the correct position on vaccination, why puts the rest of their advice under a cloud of suspicion. It seems like the emphasis is sometimes on the wrong things.Otherwise, it's not a terrible guide. It just never feels validated by anything.
...moreVery good read. Enjoyed the difference tropics and very enlightening. From computers to relationships to language to wine to history and more was discussed in this book.
Enjoyed it, kept me entertained. I would recommend this book to anyone. Love the for books very fun and interesting.
No thanks

Think that it was not run by an independent financial advice to the first place r
I am a dummy as far as technology is concerned. I learned some useful things on various subjects. Great book
This offers something for everyone with starter on.the topics at least so you walk away after reading it with new knowledge or refreshers
This is truly a little bit of everything, a chapter for some dummies series. Some things useful, some things annoying, more for technology related chapter.
