Essentialism vs Non-Essentialism.
Definitely not a bad reading, but could be summarised in 3 or 4 weblog posts.
The essence of the book is to give the reader a(n additional) point of view to clarify their priority in life and be careful how they are investing their resources in it. For me, the most important takeaway was this sentence: “Our highest priority is to protect our ability to prioritise”.

The book also describes three steps which need to be followed to act as an Essentialism:
- Explore: how to evaluate matters and choose from them, and how to make it easier
- Eliminate: when deciding what it's important, how to free up your resources for your priorities, by eliminating the “trivial many” for “vital few”
- Execute: how to organise your life so you can stick with your priorities.

A good book to read about Streaming Systems!
I gained good knowledge but not enough! I expected more words about patterns and not just characteristics and underlying requirements of Streaming Systems.
Anyway, it will be a good read; but if it's possible for you go with an edition of the book that provides you animated charts (I mean maybe Safari Online or an e-format that provides you that option; see an example: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/streaming-systems/9781491983867/ch04.html)! Some of the charts will be more easier to understand if you see them in animated version.

برای چون منی که با واژه‌ها حس قرابت چندانی ندارم، گفتن از این کتاب را سخت می‌کند! ترکیباتی مثل «کتاب خوب» هم آنقدر رنگ و رو رفته است که ترجیح میدهم ازش استفاده نکنم. اگر «سقوط محتوا»* در میانه‌ی کتاب را نادیده بگیرم! کتاب ارزشمندی است: هم به جهت نگاهی که به عصر حاضر و دسترسی به داده‌ها ارائه می‌کند؛ و هم به جهت مثال‌هایش.

هر چند تجربه‌ی خوبی برای من بود، اما پیش از تصمیم به مطالعه پیشنهاد می‌کنم نقد جسیکا را هم بخوانید:

* ایرادی داره ترکیب جدید بسازم؟ چه خوب میشد اگر جایی بود که گزاره و ترکیب‌های جدید را به اشتراک می‌گذاشتیم و امتیاز میدادیم!

The book defines 8 most important domains that play a more important role in relationship, and reasons about their importance. It also contains guidance for conversations on those topics for couples. In brief it says what is important in a relationship, why it's important, and how to communicate it with each other.

It's written in a good way, and it works best if both partners read and practice it together.

Singles can also learn from the book.

من ترجمه‌ی خانم بهاره رستمی رو خواندم
و این کتاب اولین رمان پست مدرنیستی که من خواندم

برام جذاب نبود! بیلی یک شخصیت همیشه تسلیم بود، و بی اراده
احساس می‌کنم رابطه‌ای بین شخصیت سست، بی تصمیم، و همیشه تسلیم بیلی با مفاهیم جنگ، عزت، و مرگ برقرار بود در کتاب که من درک نکردم.
