Whole Board Thinking in Joseki is slightly too hard for me, but I enjoy doing the problems. It's set up in such a way that you can get a couple layers of hints if you want, and there are descriptions for all of the wrong answers. There's a lot of reinforcement of "which side has more potential", "don't get pushed low-low on one side", and deciding when it's time to go fully defensive. Not surprisingly it's like reading a Yilun Yang KGS lecture.
