Reviews and Comments

Understanding, not just rules

When deciding between this book and refactoring UI, there was a specific review which convinced me this was the way to go. It was actually a bad review (2 or 3 star), stating this book focuses more on history and less on practical advice. This, however, is much bettwr and more useful. You don't need to remwmber a list of rules if you underatand the philosophy of something and how the individual pieces fit together. A mental model is much more valuable than a list of rules.

Reading this book in 2020 as a software engineer reveals some outdated content, but the history and explanations remain. Durable principles over transient rules and specifications.

I recommend this book to anyone looking to understand design. This is the most complete and beginner-friendly resource I've found.

Truly a commentary on modern relationships. A delightful and thought-provoking story.

A pleasant little journey

Истинско преживяване пълно с дълбоки бутилки и дълбоки мисли

An easy to read book, which covers a vast area.

The book explores Myers-Briggs Types and applies them to careers. It's a useful point of view to have and I'd recommend the book to anyone curious about how the 16 personalities relate to different professions.
An alternative would be "So good they can't ignore you" by Cal Newport.

Practical and down to earth

A great introduction into the world (specifically England, but can be applied more generally) of real estate investing. An easy read full of sensible explanations and examples.

Valuable guide

I've been interested in how people learn for years now and this book has been marvelous. The chapters are clearly separated, yet interleaved (he-he), the topics are well explained and have a great amount of research referenced. Regardless of whether you want an answer to one or two questions or to gather as much knowledge on the topic of learning as you can, this book is a one-stop guide.

Take a ride on the orient express and experience a brilliant story.

I see what the hype is about.
