Warning: Healy's games and puzzles are "quite crude", and yet he regularly plays around fifteen people simultaneously and beats almost all of them. Either Healy's mastery of chess is "crude", or every chess player he plays is an imbecile. I know which one I believe.

Amazing, but I never hear about him, nor his book, despite that I have a huge chess library...
Read the books of Soviet GM A. Kotov.
His trilogy of books Think Like a Grandmaster, Play Like a Grandmaster, and Train Like a Grandmaster, are his best known, with Think Like a Grandmaster, which was translated from the Russian by Bernard Cafferty, and published by Batsford in 1971 being particularly famous. The book is not concerned with advising where pieces should be placed on the board, or tactical motifs, but rather with the method of thinking that should be employed during a game.
Alexander Alexandrovich Kotov (Алекса́ндр Алекса́ндрович Ко́тов) was a Soviet chess grandmaster and author. He was a Soviet champion, a two-time world title Candidate, and a prolific chess author.
