Not normally a huge fan of self-help books, but this is 100% an area I need to improve so I picked it up a couple of nights ago and have already got half way through. An easy read with sympathetic advice. Only remains to convert it into practice.
What better time to finally pick up my signed copy of Leeds United writer, podcaster and connoisseur Daniel Chapman's essential book on this fantastic club, than the week in which it again won promotion back to the Premier League after two remarkable seasons under Daniel Farke? MOT.
Third chapter on seasonality was better, and contains interesting stuff. Still, can't help but feel the sharp dismissals of other models are so far contrasted by some pretty vague language for their own observations. It's also really wordy. I'd have liked this on 40-50% the number of words.
The accounts of Native American views on European societies are interesting but the style is grating and confusing and overall the text feels more like a highly political Twitter thread than an intellectual narrative. I hope this changes or it's going to be a long read.
An easy read about dotcom entrepreneurship around the turn of the millennium, and the startup phase of Paypal as a company in particular. Certainly worth a read if the era interests you.
It's worth noting the story essentially only covers the Paypal years and events leading up to them, not the many exploits of the persons involved in the many years that have since passed.
I started the book over a year ago, but kept getting sidetracked with other reading. It was easy enough to get back into though.
