Brilliant story and dialogues

Revisado: 11-19-23

This was the 4th Foundation book I read and I feel more and more passionate about Asimov’s works. This book is intellectually stimulating and highly engaging, even for a non-fiction reader. The movie does not even come close to the quality of the dialogues and their emotional impact. I highly recommend it.

The missing link in the E-Myth and Traction

Revisado: 11-19-21

David Jenyns wrote a very helpful book about systemizing your business. This was the missing piece that E-Myth and Traction did not explain, but is critical to building a buyable business.
Buy a copy to all your executives.

Magnificent

Revisado: 10-06-21

I have been following Mike Duncan’s History of Rome and Revolution podcasts for years, but he managed to outdo his earlier great accomplishments with this book. Engaging storytelling — I could not stopped listening to it. Although Duncan is undeniably partial to Lafayette, this book is meticulously researched and is delivered with elegant humor and in an engaging style. A fascinating portrait of a remarkable man.

Possibly Jim Collins greatest book

Revisado: 02-01-21

If you are the owner or CEO of a small to mid size private organization, this is a must read. This books dives into Vision, Strategy and Execution and connects the dots for you on why each is important and how each can be developed in a systematic manner to bring a successful company that can potentially endure for a hundred years.
This book was originally published in 1992 and has aged extremely well.

Excellent theoretical canvass with clear examples

Revisado: 01-31-21

As business strategy originated from military strategy, so has business leadership has arisen from its military brethren.
In this book, the author identifies and articulates a handful of leadership concepts which he then explains with clear examples that are easy to understand and internalize.
What I particularly enjoyed was that he focuses on the mental game of the leader and how to channel her ego and personal inclinations into putting the team first.
In contrast with other reviewers Willink’s personal examples did not bother me at all. On the contrary, they felt authentic and compelling. He is clearly passionate about the subject and I am reassured is likely a good leader himself.

Not a summary, but a collection of misunderstandings

Revisado: 01-01-19

This audio book was an irritating disappointment. The author grabs the subtitles of Andy Groove’s classic and interprets them using “contemporary examples”. A total misunderstanding of the work and an arrogant reinterpretation of fragments of it.
If you can’t make time to read the original, its better to not touch this audio book as it will dissuade you from picking up that classic text in the future.
