I really didn't like that book. Its basic premise was that we should separate the idea of mathematics from the formalities of mathematics, we should aim to imagine mathematical problems visually. The later chapters then consist of an elephant drawing that isn't true to scale and tell me why David Bessis thought it would be best to create an AI startup, that just put the final nail in the coffin for me. There's some historical note here and there, but that's it - it really could've been a blog post.

Every single YouTube video from tom7[0] or 3blue1brown[1] do way more on transmitting the fascinations of mathematics.
