Less is more

Revisado: 01-07-25

I've learned so much from Ali's youtube channel that I preordered this book in the moment it was possible. He is such a great thinker and leader in our modern life, that I had very high expectations.
However, all along the book I had the feeling that he is trying to put everything in this book. All his previous knowledge, wisdom, examples, learnings, technics, everything. The entire book feels like jumping from one of his youtube video to another, watching just a few seconds or minutes from each, in an organized order, but without having a flow and without space for reflection or thinking.

Finally, I know how and why change happens

Revisado: 05-17-21

For a long time I've struggled to change social norms in a huge organisation and to make people adopt innovative and proven approaches. I've got even frustrated by my failures. From this book I understand what have I done wrong all the time. I've used the virality, fireworks, shotgun approach, but these are useless for adopting new behaviors. From now on I'm going to focus on fishing net networks, social reinforcement, snowball effect andwide bridges.
Excellent book.

Debate is a dance, not a war.

Revisado: 03-18-21

Dancing is two different individuals having together a substantially greater experience of the music and atmosphere than they would have alone. Dancing is being open to the partner, embracing it while adapting to each other. It's not about who has the right movement, it's about having a heightened experience.
Echo chambers are dangerous places, you will never learn anything new. Constantly challenging your beliefs is the way of progress. Enjoying being wrong leads to real learning. Think about something you believe in. What evidence would change your mind?
People don't resist change. People resist being changed. Think about it again.

The authors voice is a bit monotone, robotic, almost each sentence has the same tone, you have to adapt to this in order to focus on the content.

your choice

Revisado: 03-02-21

What's happening around you is not your choice, however how you react and how are you going to experience those outside events is always your choice. There's a chance that you need professional help, but you always can choose to be alive.

great overview of the origin and impact of caffein

Revisado: 03-08-20

Easy listening, great summary of the origin of coffee drinking and interesting historical aspects. I liked that the author experimented on himself and researched the scientific explanations. Great conclusion, btw.

Less is more

Revisado: 01-29-20

The part summarizing the books are ok, they are clearly understandable, however I think that they are useful for those already familiar with stoicism. The rest is a bunch of ideas thrown together superficially, giving instructions for all aspects of life. Even though most of them are valid, it is still annoying to hear instructions one after another, like you have to sleep 7-8 hours, otherwise you get sick, etc.
One idea I fully disagree which was several times mentioned, is that work is something which you have to do just to make a living.
Overall, this was a waste of time.

BTW: The quality of the sound recording is annoying.

good historical overview

Revisado: 06-16-19

pros: good overview from an expert about the significant wine growing regions, technics and styles of the world.
cons:
-the last 15 years are missing, since it is an older book, and there are relevant changes in styles, trends, rising regions l, etc.
-old fashioned view of the author: e.g. the wine cellar starts with Bordeaux, Burgundy and Port.

conclusion: worth it

Can you define vulnerability? Brené Brown can.

Revisado: 03-05-19

Are you comfortable being goofy and silly in front of other people? You are going to think about this question so much differently after listening to this book, that it's going to make you smile.
This is the book you have to listen too, not read. These are the original recordings of the sessions, it was captivating.

tiny changes do not add, they compound.

Revisado: 02-14-19

It is very well structured, easy to follow. There are many useful additional materials. Definitely changed my view about the tiny habits in my life. Now, that I understood the long term benefits, I am able to focus and be persistent.
