Review from Coders →
As a non-techie I learned quite a bit about the industry through this book. Now that I’m in software it’s been very interesting to get to know the types of people that have thrived in this environment. I must say that reading it doesn’t necessarily give me a ton of Hope for the world, but..
Review from Super Thinking →
Writing a book of mental models for myself or others had been bouncing around in my head for the last two years in different forms. I read and learn so much it is hard to keep track of it all and there are so many of those things that have interdisciplinary applications. That is how..

Finally a strong argument against the survival 9f the fittest among humans. Highly reccomend it.
Review from Running to the Edge →
Excellent history of the great Bob Larson and his elite athletes. Must read for any runner – great inspiration during those long runs!

This book introduces you to the important basics of Buddhism. I liked listening and studying it.

Chris Anderson is the author of The Long Tail — also called ‘power law distribution’ — which has been adapted by other great minds in business and entrepreneurship; such..
Review from Hawke’s Fury →
I looked forward to this book coming up on my queue, but when it did, I found myself disappointed. The story started off slow and, at least to where I closed the book, never picked up. There was lots of graphic violence to show how bad the cartel was, but that was to be expected…
