The art is fantastic, and the interactions between Batman and Constantine are nothing I have ever seen before done for Batman.
The story is nightmarish, and the plot is so-so.
Highly recommended for any professional to transition from one position to another or from one company to the next.
I started reading this book as I made a major transition, changing city, company, and industry. It helped me document, organize, and act on an effective onboarding, have effective communication with my new manager and learn the ins and outs of my new company.
Great listen on how management applies to IT, even when some of the chapters are 20+ years old the similarities with the people in the IT Industry remain to this day.
While I like the message of the book on how we can change our Habits and how [a:Charles Duhigg 5201530 Charles Duhigg https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1349273209p2/5201530.jpg] proposes a method to change allegedly every habit you want, I don't quite like his writing style, while he makes you care for the people's lives and stories which don't have much to do with this model other than they were successful in changing habits in a way that makes sense in his proposed model of Cue, Routine, Reward.In the chapter where he deals with willpower, it wasn't clear to me how the willpower can be increased other than “save it for later” and “expect everything”.I Still think the whole book is selling the Apendix which a practical person can read, try and apply without all the fuzz of the actual book.Maybe I get it wrong and is the road not the goal what matters, like Miyagi's “Wax on, wax off” training to win a Karate Tournament in a few weeks.I'm pending to test the proposed framework to change in the Apendix, so ask me in a few months.
This book was a completely different experience than what I imagined at the beginning of the book.
The movie is only loosely based on this book and doesn't approach the messages and opinions of Rober A. Heinlein.
Being the second book I read from Mr. Heinlein I can say he was a very opinionated person, nothing compared with Orson Scott Card and some ideas might prove to be effective if given the chance.
Loved the duality between authority and responsibility to the point when clearely explained why a functional milistaristic and meritocratic regime could work at least in fiction.
A recommended reading for anyone who has finished with Asimov and/or want some perspective on military training fiction.
Finally! Some characters changed from the previous books and creates great clifhangers for the next one.
My watch for The Winds of Winter begins.
An excellent reference book. I want to go back and review some of these models.
I'll keep this book close to me for the rest of my life
Batman gets a white ring, Martian Man-hunter gives life back to mars, Firestorm destroys the universe.
Amazing art, good story.
Excelente libro para ponerte en el lugar de los monstruos peludos de manos azules y lo dificil que es ser un niño.
This book works like a charm, the first nights my wife or I read it son got distracted with every turn of the page and after the fourth night the book started to work. My son gets more and more relaxed as the story goes on, we barley reach the end of the book as he fells sleep with the story.
An excellent book I recommend it for small children who don't know how to get to sleep when they get tired from all the running during the day.
I got this book if only because it was free. Then when I started reading it gave me hope, since it promised not to make me buy unnecessary and expensive storage solutions only to suggest to buy boxes and storage solutions for closets and the kitchen and the bathroom.
More than a book it seems like a long blog post with the “10 things that...” which leads me to the lowest point of the book when Beth makes a list of her “resources” more like a google first page results when you search for organization blogs, I mean, she used Buzzfeed as a reference!!! Really a click bait article!!
Please save yourself some time and do a google search.
David uses his experience with implementing Kanban in during a decade, using Kanban and its lean approach to empower teams to perform under Agile methodologies.
I love that this book does an in-depth analysis and explanation on how to create and operate a development team with Kanban. What I think this book lacks is research as is based on a few project filled with anectodical experience and like many products in the industry some of those teams/companies are no longer in the picture so the true value of kanban is lost in time.
I recommend this book for those who want to widen their experience with Agile methodologies and go beyond Scrum or XP as the most famous Agile implementations, Kanban has its place advantages and disadvantages and is now a valuable tool in my belt.
Personally defining the concepts in this product it helped me to lead a team go beyond a board and convert them into a Kanban team with Agile principles on each of the members of the team.
I found the model of this book interesting about how both mindsets affect our daily lives and the research made to define them.
And the interest ends there, I find the author tries to validate the model she came up with tons tired of historical references and research made to prove other topics but she accommodates her idea to them.
I mean again, I like the model and the ideas. The exhaustive use of examples to settle the difference between fixed mindset (losers) and growth mindset (winners) turn like an oversell of her own research which gets confused with anecdotical references and research are done by other people to prove other theories but she finds a fit for her model anyway.
And she does mention at some point that having either mind set doesn't imply a good or bad behavior per se. however, in the relationship chapter every fixed mindset example ended in a divorce or a miserable relationship and the sports and business chapters all the fixed mindset people tend to be losers in the end and everyone that has a growth mindset ended up saving their marriage or winning in their careers because of the growth mindset she identifies.
I would recommend someone to read about the model proposed here while staying away from a tiresome narrative and the use of research and examples to validate her point.
A masterpiece from Asimov.
SPOILER
I loved how he managed to fit this time travel adventure in his stablished universe.
Got this audiobook from the library and is only 1 hour, this was not the real book, is a summary that finishes with a sales pitch.
A must-read for anyone who wants to start investing.
This book made me rethink my investing strategy even when the data is dated as of 2007, many of the facts used then to establish a common sense investing plan and predates the 2008 depression and the modern no-fee transaction firms of today, just the fact that taxing between daily trading and long term investing with Index ETFs makes a difference I hadn't considered before.
A must-read for anyone interested in multiple points of view regarding the history of the United States.
Depressing and eye-opening at the same time.
It might be the decades apart from when this book was written but it was hard for me to connect to it.I like how [a:Ray Bradbury 1630 Ray Bradbury https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1445955959p2/1630.jpg] and other authors of the time used SciFi to dissert on human behavior.
I loved this book from the first pages once you open it you'll find out there's a reason why this book always shows in the top 10 sci-fi lists.[a:Ray Bradbury 1630 Ray Bradbury https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1361491094p2/1630.jpg] described a hell in earth for readers.
