Oh, that was what was changing the market

Revisado: 01-18-20

This book puts faces with the general talk about quant traders. Although this book is a legacy book for main character, it does provide an interesting story. My only request is more info on the specific math and insights the fund used and uncovered. If he wants a legacy, share his findings and contribute the knowledge as a true scientist would. Dalio did his own legacy book but he shared more specifics and sought to share his findings with society.

Enjoyable listen - British Perspective

Revisado: 05-28-19

Engaging audio book. Many history books are a struggle to get through. This one kept my interest and was eye opening. It is skewed towards the British perspective and characters.

Well worth the read if you like F1 or not - applicable to business

Revisado: 01-04-18

Andrian opened the door to closed world of formula one development and competition.
You don’t have to be an engineer to understand and appreciate how they compete.
It is applicable to businesses and leaders. Mr Newey was candid about the business and personal aspects of this highly competitive business.
One of the great sports books I have read that has applicable lessons to apply in other fields.

Pretty good you will better understand what Elon is doing and why

Revisado: 11-15-17

Worth reading. The book provides a window into the world of an guy that is leaving his mark on the world and why he is doing it. It seemed to be two perspectives or tones. The side that explored Elon’s unique personality and the other that was very enthusiastic about reporting what Elon did. The author had a tough job of pulling out the information from people that may not wanted to share it and still getting Elon to open up and engage while communicating the downsides of working in the Elon sphere. Well worth the time to read. The first 2/3 of book is amazing.

Access through perspective

Revisado: 09-24-17

The writer through his skeptical perspective gives the reader a chance to access a subject that is often obscured by flowery language. Learning how to tame and then maximize our mind is something all human beings can benefit from and is the new growth industry. We can't buy happiness but we can learn how to control the monkey mind that is making us miserable. Well done. One thing if it drags a little in first few chapters with some of the setup story, stick with it. It is kind of like meditation it takes a little discipline to get to the good stuff. Enjoy!

Better and better

Revisado: 08-11-17

It's rare to start a book stop half way and come back more than a year later but I did. The concepts at the start seemed a little repetitive but I my mind kept using the concepts described at start of book and second half of book went into more detail and depth. Great stuff.

Split brain

Revisado: 04-02-17

The split brain story is worth the read in itself. The type of book you have to read more than once.

Great book, don't let the title throw you

Revisado: 01-14-17

Michael Lewis is a great writer. I almost didn't read the book based on the title. My wife suggested it and at first it didn't appeal. If you enjoy Taleb and Black Swan thinking this book covers what Taleb references over and over. The book has an amazing symmetry and the title comes into focus at the end in more than one way and the most interesting and ironic is the most subtle

No wonder

An introvert has shared her observations with the world and the world is better off for it. Thanks to the author for producing a page turner that will help many people's lives.
