Reviews and Comments
Bi, Asian-European, trans woman, she/her, cybersec student, surviving and thriving in the Balkans. Very interested in developing thoughts and ideas about the relationship between tech and oppression/liberation. Mainly reading either political books from a queer-feminist anarchist/leftist perspective, IT and cybersecurity books, and self-help. Hopefully regular book reviews :)

Great book also at the second time reading. The fact that the author comes from a very different (Christian) philosophical background than me doesn't change that. The principles, Covey states again and again, don't belong to any religion or philosophical system but rather show themselves again and again in any lasting one. I don't know whether that is true, but I believe that taking time to identify one's personal principles and values as well as living in accordance with them is truly benficial.
