I recently had the pleasure of delving into “High Output Management,” a timeless masterpiece written by the renowned Andrew S. Grove. As someone who has traversed several management and leadership books, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and richness of insights this book brought to the table.

One of the key takeaways from the book is the profound emphasis on self-confidence in decision-making. Grove asserts that true self-confidence stems from the gut-level realization that nobody has ever perished due to a wrong business decision. This insight is a powerful motivator, encouraging leaders to take bold actions and make decisions without the fear of failure, fostering a culture of innovation and growth.

The book dissects the production process into three fundamental elements: manpower, money, and capital. Grove underscores the importance of viewing management as a team game, introducing concepts like managerial leverage, getting the most from meetings, effective decision-making, and meticulous planning. The author advocates for distinguishing between output and activities, urging leaders to focus on the former to maximize productivity.

Grove introduces the concept of Management by Objectives (MBO), a systematic approach that aligns organizational goals with individual objectives, creating a clear roadmap for success. The significance of regular reviews is highlighted, offering a structured framework to assess production, leverage, performance, and process.

A notable feature is the insightful distinction between process-oriented meetings and mission-oriented meetings. The book guides leaders on how to conduct effective reviews and emphasizes the importance of this practice in fostering continuous improvement.

The decision-making framework presented is a gem within the book. Grove provides a set of crucial questions — What, When, Who decides, Who needs to be consulted, Who can veto the decision, and Who needs to be informed — offering a systematic approach to decision-making that minimizes ambiguity and enhances accountability.

Despite encountering the author's ideas quoted in other works, the depth and clarity of Grove's explanations were unmatched. His first-hand experiences and pragmatic approach make the concepts more relatable and applicable.

In conclusion, “High Output Management” is an indispensable guide for leaders navigating the complex landscape of enterprise organizations. Andrew S. Grove's wealth of experience and strategic insights make this book a valuable asset for anyone in a managerial role or aspiring to lead with excellence. Highly recommended for its comprehensive approach to management principles and its enduring relevance in the dynamic world of business.

“The Giver” by Lois Lowry is a deceptively simple tale that takes you on a journey into a meticulously controlled world where ignorance is revered, and the truth is a precious but forbidden burden. On the surface, it appears to be a beautiful story, but lurking just beneath is a poignant commentary on society, humanity, and the inherent dangers of tampering with the pursuit of knowledge.

Set in a society where choices, emotions, and memories are suppressed in favor of an ordered existence, “The Giver” challenges us to reflect on our own lives and the significance of understanding and free will. The story revolves around the nomination of one individual to bear the weight of the community's memories, knowledge, and wisdom. This character, known as the Receiver, serves as a conduit for the past, while the rest of society blissfully remains in ignorance.

Lowry's narrative is a haunting reminder of past dystopian classics like “Brave New World” and “1984.” It provides a glimpse into a future where control, suppression, and ignorance are elevated, while curiosity and enlightenment are scorned. The juxtaposition of the Receiver's solemn duty with the cheerfully blind existence of the community forces us to contemplate our own world and the fine line between security and ignorance.

“The Giver” is a powerful exploration of the unintended consequences of creating a utopia where memories are erased, emotions are controlled, and individuality is sacrificed for conformity. It masterfully delves into themes of the cost of knowledge, the necessity of choice, and the beauty of diversity.

Lowry's prose is straightforward yet filled with symbolism, allowing the reader to dive deep into the layers of the narrative. This story is a good read for those who appreciate dystopian fiction and philosophical reflection. It's a chilling reminder of the importance of knowledge, emotions, and individuality, even in the face of a society that tries to eliminate them.

In summary, “The Giver” is a thought-provoking masterpiece that will linger in your thoughts long after you've turned the last page. If you enjoy themes of societal control, individuality, and the pursuit of knowledge, you'll appreciate this book. It reminds us that even in the most seemingly perfect worlds, darkness can lurk beneath the surface, and it's our duty to unveil it.

it's nothing short of a masterpiece in the world of Agile leadership and management. This book is a treasure trove of insights and a testament to the boundless potential of Agile principles and practices.

The book delves into real-world case studies across various sectors, illustrating how Agile principles have transformed businesses, making them more adaptable and customer-centric.

The result is a holistic and comprehensive view of Agile, providing a broad understanding that caters to everyone from employees to top executives.

“The Age of Agile” captures the essence of Agile thinking—empowering teams, fostering innovation, and enhancing adaptability—in a way that is both enlightening and actionable. It serves as a beacon for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape.

This book is not just a read; it's a transformative journey. I highly recommend “The Age of Agile” to anyone passionate about Agile leadership and management. It's a source of inspiration, knowledge, and empowerment that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on your professional journey.

I've recently gone through the audiobook of “97 Principles for Software Architects” available on Scribd.
[Link: https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/473165464]

The audiobook is quite informative and provides a wealth of insights for individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of software architecture. While I can't directly comment on “97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know” as I didn't read the exact book, I found this audiobook to be a valuable resource in its own right. It covers a range of principles that are likely to benefit software architects and those in related roles. Overall, I believe it's a worthwhile listen for anyone interested in software architecture concepts and practices.

This book raises profound questions and addresses them with logical and spiritual insights that differ from traditional religious perspectives. It revolves around three key principles: joy, truth, and love. I highly recommend approaching this book with an open mind, as it has the potential to bring a sense of calm and clarity to your life, helping you reach your goals.

The author acknowledges that the content may be a product of his imagination, but he encourages readers to consider the impact it can have on their lives. He poses the question: Does it make your life better? If so, accepting it can be transformative; if not, challenging it is worthwhile.

Throughout the book, several notable points are made, such as the communication style of God being through thoughts and feelings rather than words. It highlights the importance of inner guidance and personal experience as the ultimate source of truth. The book presents the concept that humans were created by God, who in turn created the rest of the world.

One thought-provoking idea is that life is not solely about discovering oneself but also about actively creating oneself. It emphasizes the significance of both knowing and experiencing. The theory of relativity is explored, suggesting that one cannot fully understand what they are until they understand what they are not.

The book also touches upon the power of emotions and advises against judgment. It suggests that condemning or judging others will ultimately affect oneself and encourages seeking change or supporting those who are creating positive change.

The concept of desire as the driving force behind creation is introduced, differentiating it from need, which God does not possess. It challenges the notion of seeking external solutions and emphasizes the importance of leaving one's current state to find what is already within.

Enlightenment is portrayed as the realization that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and no one to become other than the true self in the present moment. It underscores the idea that heaven is found in the here and now.

The book explores the dynamics of resistance and attention, suggesting that what is resisted persists while what is acknowledged eventually fades away. It delves into the idea that God's greatest moment is when individuals recognize that they do not need a separate entity called God.

The qualities of a true master, leader, king, teacher, and God are examined, highlighting the importance of empowering others and serving them, ultimately creating leaders and gods in their own right.

The concept of right and wrong is explored, challenging the notion of objective truth. It emphasizes that judgment is a human characteristic, not a divine one.

The book presents a vast perspective on God, stating that God is a child of another and that human perception of ultimate reality is limited, while the truth is boundless. It suggests that God is the energy of imagination, creation, and everything in between, encompassing the first thought and the last experience.

In conclusion, ‘Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1' invites readers to contemplate thought-provoking ideas about spirituality and the nature of God. It challenges conventional beliefs and offers a unique perspective that can inspire personal growth and self-reflection.

Great book in the area of meditation and spiritual awakening.

Microsoft had quite an impressive journey within the last decade. Satya Nadella's wisdom and leadership style played significant role on Microsoft's turn around.

This book have a lot to offer when it comes to leadership. Satya not only shared his insight but also shared a lot from others within the Microsoft as well as the industry in large.

Futuristic thoughts around topics such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence and mixed reality are quite interesting. I really liked Satya's optimistic/realistic interpretation of these controversial topics.

I had no idea what I am signing for, I just saw this book attract a lot of attention lately and I decided to give it a try. I cut off guard at the beginning of the novel. I had no idea what was going on. As if I go to another planet; the words looked identical but there was no meaning in to them. Then gradually the story start making sense and there was a seamless travel to Earth. Later on as if I am seeing the Earth from alien point of view. All in all I like the journey The book took me for.

Will Smith's exciting memoir touches your heart and Mark Manson's pen and editorial skills blow your mind. This is a long a** book with too many nitty gritty details of Will Smith both professional and personal life. I like the way that Will changes the gear and moves on to the next stage of his life just about you getting bored. Will walk the audience through on his colorful journey he had. He shares his experience on being a rap star, TV star and Movie star. This book is not just about success, but also failure and mistakes Will made in his life both professionally and personally. I love the way he comes forward, admits his mistakes and apologizes profusely in his book for events that happened up to decades ago. Will also share his insights on what he would do in hindsight.

This book is above and beyond a simple biography. It consists of real nice life experiences that could give you another set of eyes. What could make or break a family or career and more. Will's insight and perspective is priceless and his life and career path metamorphosis is attest to that. I strongly recommend the audiobook narrated by Will Smith. It is an entirely different beast. His performance is great, he mimics everyone's voice and there are a bunch of related songs and music that make the book pretty entertaining.

Adam Grant in his groundbreaking book, “Think Again” walks the audience through an interesting journey of learning, unlearning, and rethinking. This book consists of interesting examples, studies and a bunch of the author's personal experience; why we need to let go of knowledge and opinion that no longer serve us. As well as how we should equip ourselves with flexibility rather than consistency to thrive in a fast paced world we live on. All in all, it is a great book to enhance our lives, mindsets, as well as leadership skills.

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” – George Bernard Shaw.

The crucialness of adaptation to changes and rethink was illustrated beautifully on the fable of BlackBerry. Adam Grant analyzes the journey BlackBerry had and in retrospect he concluded what caused the organization to thrive also become the reason for their failure. Being good at thinking makes us worse at rethinking, and the brighter we are the harder it is to see our own limitations is among the reasons why good thinkers might be more vulnerable to adjust course. Hence the cognitive blind spot is something we all need to be reminded of and try to be aware of it. Strong leaders engage their critics and make themselves stronger. Weak leaders silent the critics and make themselves weaker. According to research, CEOs of poorly performing firms that indulge flattery and conformity become overconfident and instead of changing course they stick with their existing strategy plan which sets them on a collision course with failure. We learn more from people who challenge our thought process rather than those who affirm our conclusions.

“If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom” – Adam Grant

How to debate effectively has been covered in an interesting fashion. We usually fall under one or more of below four modes when we debate: preacher, prosecutor, politician, or scientist. We go to the preacher mode when our beliefs are questioned. Prosecutor when we recognize flaws in other person reasoning. And going to politician mode when we want to convince the audience. He illustrates why the first three modes are not only inefficient but detrimental especially when the stack is high. Scientist mode is the most useful mode that we could use for a debate. Within scientist mode you must be aware of the limits of your understanding, expect to doubt what you know, be curious about what you don't know and update your views based on your data. Debating on scientist mode it is more on intellectual ground rather than emotional one.

Adam Grant articulates how debate champions and effective debaters convey their message and how we can learn from them. What it takes to win a debate and how experts treat debate as a dance rather than a war is narrated in multiple stories with some element of surprises. Finding a rhythm is a first move on effective debates. Finding a common ground and representing your case. Also, strong debaters do not dilute the strong arguments with weak ones is something that Adam Grant illustrated with multiple studies. Asking questions is among the strongest tools within a debate. How to construct your question and who delivers it make a huge difference on the outcome of the debate. Sustain talk which is a commentary to keep the status quo versus change talk which refers to the tendency to make an adjustment is among other techniques the author discussed within this book.
“Exhausting someone in argument is not the same as convincing him” – Tim Kreider

Several biases and syndromes have been analyzed within the book, chief among them: Confirmation bias, Desirability bias, Binary bias, Imposter syndrome, Armchair Quarterback syndrome, Anton syndrome and Dunning–Kruger effect. These are and more are the main reasons why we need to revisit our perceptions and rethink our positions. Adam Grant has performed an interesting interpretation of Imposter syndrome and how within significant cases it was among the reasons for improvement. And provide more sense of humility and being grounded. On the other hand, how Armchair Quarterback syndrome could give false confidence and eliminate the need to improve. Detaching your present from your past and detaching your opinion from your identity are techniques that could widen our horizon and be less vulnerable to the biases around us. Basing our identity based on your values rather than opinions could give us a slight age.

“People who are right a lot listen a lot, and they change their mind a lot. They wake up and reanalyze things and change their mind. If you don't change your mind frequently, you're going to be wrong a lot.” – Jeff Bezos

The psychology of constructive conflict is another interesting topic which has been covered in depth within this book. It has illustrated the relationship conflict in comparison with the task conflict. Compare the disagreeableness versus agreeableness and elaborate the need for a challenging network to bring us to the next level. Interesting result of several studies revealed in this section how task conflict is essential for innovation and how relationship conflict could be detrimental for the project and organization in large. When there is a task conflict there is Intensity rather than hostility and the argument is mainly about how rather than why.

“Many leaders shield themselves from task conflict. As they gain power, they tune out boat-rockers and listen to bootlickers. They become politicians, surrounding themselves with agreeable yes-men and becoming more susceptible to seduction by sycophants.” _ Adam Grant

Outcome and Process accountability have been covered in later chapters of this book. It elaborated what is psychological safety and who it needs to be mixed with accountability for the best result. As Adam Grant put it, when there is psychological safety but not accountability people tend to stay in their comfort zone and when accountability but not safety people tend to stay silent and within their anxiety zone. Learning zone is when psychological safety will be combined with accountability. The importance of disagreeable people within the organization have been highlighted. Especially disagreeable givers which they do not criticize because they're insecure but because they care. Rethinking is more likely to happen in learning culture that the growth is the core value.


“Presented with someone else's argument, we're quite adept at spotting the weaknesses,” journalist Elizabeth Kolbert writes, but “the positions we're blind about are our own.”

When we're insecure, we make fun of others. If we're comfortable being wrong, we're not afraid to poke fun at ourselves. Laughing at ourselves reminds us that although we might take our decisions seriously, we don't have to take ourselves too seriously. The purpose of learning is not to affirm or believe but to evolve them. And change your mindset from prove yourself to improve yourself. We don't have much luck on changing others minds If we refuse to change ours. One of the suggested approaches to be able to change our mind is listing down the condition in which you are going to change your mind, stay on course.

I just revisited this book after over a decade and I was flabbergasted, as if I'm going through a new book.

Paulo Coelho has illustrated the world and life in a short and exciting story. It is among the most inspiring book I have ever been through. And the audiobook performed by Jeremy Irons is by far among the best audiobooks.

One can learn a lot from this wonderful story. And it is worth being revisited after sometimes again!

Measure What Matters is a great book by John Doerr. This book is describing two powerful tools, OKRs (Objective Key Results) and CFRs (Conversation Feedback Recognition) which have been utilized in several organizations such as Intel, Google, Adobe, Tweeter, Samsung, BMW. Larry page wrote the forward for this book and he elaborated further their story, that how Google thrive using OKRs and CFRs. As John put it OKRs are a collaborative goal setting protocol. They're not silver bullet they cannot substitute for strong judgment, strong leadership, or creative workplace and culture, but if those fundamental are in place OKRs can guide you to the mountain top.

“The First 90 Days” by Michael D. Watkins is a great book in #leadership and #management fields. This book is a fantastic source for first time managers up to C levels. How to strategize the transition as well as put a framework in place within organization in order to help and mentor the employers for their transition and assist employees to leap from a strong functional performer to cross-functional management roles.

Although the focus of the book is on transition from one role to another or one company to anther there are plenty of useful pragmatic approaches have been illustrated within this book. Michael explain about the importance of securing early wins and avoid early losses to build momentum and credibility.

The author introduced a model call STARS (startup, turn around, realignment and sustaining success) and elaborate the difference when it comes to transition. He discusses about when need to used offense versus defense, how to define “A priority” items and how to overcome to resistance to change, how to build personal credibility and people perception especially within the first 90 Days of your transition. This book teaches how to think like organizational architect. How to deal with technical, political, and cultural problems as well as being a change agent and create coalitions have covered into the details.

The author strongly believes Darwinian leadership (sink or swim managerial culture) is unproductive for the employees as well as organization in large. He illustrated his points with several tangible real-life examples and shared the result of several studies to support his points. This book helps to accelerate the transition period and reach to breakeven point earlier which helps the individuals as well as the organizations reach to their goals much faster and avoid unnecessary failures.

Very informative book given the era of pandemic we are in. This book is taking a deep dive regarding 1918 pandemic as well as other epidemic throughout civilization; It is picturing what we know about different types of Influenza their pathology and epidemiology.

Great book and strongly recommended. This book is the third in the series of Yuval Noah Harari, after Sapiens and Homo Deus. Within Sapiens Harari covers the history of humanity and how we get here in nutshell, in Homo Deus he try to predict where we are heading in future and within 21st Lessons of 21st Century he mainly focus on current time.

Harari within this book cover so much ground which caused some criticism. However in my eyes, this book is one of a kind despite of brief and incomplete coverage on serval topics. No doubt each chapter could cover libraries of books and yet he managed to summaries everything in one book. He elaborate further within this era the real art is reduce the noise and be selective of overabundance of data rather than get lost in the details.

Harari within the introduction of the book reveal that he could go for self-censorship or speak his mind, he decided to go for the latter and request the reader to study this book with open mind. People that cannot or do not want to question some topics such as belief, faith and religion might not be able to hear the message Harari what to convey.

Harari tried to make this book an eye opener and yet didn't provide crystal clear answers; since there are none. He bring up the fact always questions that can't be answered is better that the answers which cannot be questioned.

I recommend going through the book more than one time. For this sort of books one could fall pray of confirmation/availability biases and miss the holistic point.

There are books that you seek for and there are others which they find you, this book was among the latter for me. Dr. Lisa Kentgen addresses common biases from psychiatrist point of view within this book. Fallacies such as sunk cost fallacy, status quo bias, availability bias, confirmation bias have been described and how they could hold us back within day to day life and our relationships in large.

Awareness, reflection, choosing, acting and allowing are five pillars which Dr. Lisa focuses on. She believes these pillars are not mutually exclusive and in order to be able to bring authenticity and happiness to our life we need to practice all the elements as whole. She described every, and each of them in to details and provide practices to strength them.

Fear and how it could act as hedonic treadmill if not bring awareness to it have been illustrated within the book. Instructions how to identify your fear and treat them accordingly have been described as well.

Dr. Lisa pictured a persona for each story by amending names and characteristics of her patients to protect their anonymity and at a same time make the book more story type rather than only problem solution type of book; so reader could relate with the persona and get the most of each case. She also shared from her personal experiences to give better picture to the reader in some parts.

I have been through the audio book version and find it pretty helpful. Dr. Lisa covers a lot of ground within this book and shared decades of experience. I recommend going through the book multiple times to get the best of it.

At first glance I fell prey of availability bias and confirmation bias and my first impression was; this book has nothing new to offer but some generic advice that you could come across any self-help book. This book just like majority of self-help books is containing plenty of famous quotes from well-known people, as well as general advises such as perseverance and persistent for that matter. However I could overcome my biases and start observing what this book has to offer.
Ryan talk about the influence that stoicism had on his life and how revolutionized it has been for him. He explicitly mention that he is not going to talk about stoicism in large and advise the audience to go through the originals such as Meditations by Marcus Aurelius in particular. His aim where illustrating how stoicism comes handy in other famous people life and how stoicism could look like in real life.

The author also talk about perception and how it could be real game-changer in one's life. How great people thrive not in spite of adversity that happened to them but because of it. He quotes Andy Grove (of the founders and the CEO of Intel): “Bad companies are destroyed by crisis, Good companies survive them, Great companies are improved by them”, as well as some other nice examples. Ryan also describes what post-mortem is and how great companies and people use it to their advantage.

I have been through the audio book narrated by Ryan Holiday which ends with nice interview between him and Tim Ferriss. He will talk about his personal life and his profession. Both authors exchange their insights about stoicism and why they are appreciating it.

Interesting book illustrating what is economics and how the real world looks like. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner got together and come up with this crazy idea of writing a book describing crazy behavioral economics. They expose pretty insane questions and made them so interesting and amusing for the reader to follow, and look into the world and surrounding with another set of eyes.

Conventional wisdom has been discussed in to the details within this book. How it has been introduced, and how misleading it can be within the society. There are plenty of data analysis and study resulted has been provided to articulate the issues.

Causation vs correlation also has been demonstrated in to the details. What people believed can be causation of an incident has been proved to be just correlation in hindsight, with pretty nice examples.

Another accept of the book are the crazy questions exposed by the authors, such as; which one is more dangerous swimming pool or gun for a kid in a house?, why drug-dealers are living with their parents?, what are the relationships of existence of many books in the house and smartness and success of a kid?, is abortion lower the rate of the crime? All these questions have been discussed in to the details. The more the question is analyzed the more interesting it get.

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown is truly amazing book. Options and choices day by day getting wider and human being have to choose from essential few rather than trivial many, otherwise one could stuck on a hedonic treadmill and getting nowhere despite spending more time and efforts on non-essentials. Greg illustrated how important it is to say no to trivial many so we could focus on things that matter most. Setting priority has been clarified within this book with few pretty tangible examples. In short you could grasp how you could improve exponentially on things that matter most rather than improve a millimeter on thousand directions.

Yet this book is go beyond essentialism and setting priorities. The author took us on a brief journey on few common fallacies that one might fall pray of. He elaborates on sunk cost fallacy with few example, as well as endowment effect. Decision fatigue also has been described, with few suggestions how we could stay of it. This kind of fallacies could be a real bottleneck in one's life, without even notice them.

This book covers a wide scope, while stay focus on the main objective. There are plenty of well-known figures and books have been quoted, which illustrates the level of research and study performed on the subject. One might miss a lot of crucial points which has been discussed within this book, since the author made sure to stay on the subject. Though it looks like he repeating himself over and over again he is delivering brand new insights.

I have been through the audio book read by the author multiple times and I have enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend this book to everyone. This is a book you might what to go through more than once.
