Great book, the technical terms from the medical field are hard to understand, at least for a non-native Englisch speaker. :-)

All in all great and inspiring stories.

Insgesamt ganz spannend. Es fühlte sich allerdings wie zwei Bücher an. Nach etwa der Hälfte war der Klimax eigentlich erreicht und dann begann sozusagen der zweite Teil.

Decent and entertaining read if you are into Apple. Has some lengths every now and then. I am not sure how much of the stuff in the book is true and verifiable. The author himself said at the end, that Apple is very focused on secrecy.

I watched the movie a couple of times, so I was eager to know if the book is better, worse or just different. I would go with different. Some characters behave differently. Grant and Lex are more interesting in the movie, from my point of view.

Well, a decent book to find some new perspectives. Nice stories combined with actionable paragraphs.

It was a fine read. Not as exciting as the first book, but, I mean, you cannot expect the same excitement for a sequel.

Ein paar interessante Ideen, leider fand' ich den Plot zu verwirrend. Er springt aus meiner Sicht zu viel hin und her.

I was THE OO programmer. OO seemed to be THE best programming pradigm to work with. I was always struggling with some aspects of OO but they seemed to be related to the problems themselves, not on how to tackle them. This book provided a great insight why you might consider the data-oriented programming paradigm for tackling programming problems.
I also like his writing style based on a story plot to introduce the paradigm and it's principles.

Definitely a good read. I was always struggling with how to organise my notes and I am not using his exact proposed system but it provided some great ideas to try out. It was very helpful. I am looking forward to his next book on PARA.

All in all it's not surprising. "If you fear something, that fear takes an amount of your capacity." That happens on a personal and on an organisational level. So it's good to reduce the amount of fear as best as you can.

Abandoned the book after about 50%. Much too wordy for my taste.

Das Buch beschreibt eigentlich, dass wir die Klimakatastrophe nicht in den Griff bekommen können ohne unser "Betriebssystem" (den Kapitalismus) auszutauschen. Ich habe hier absichtlich nicht den Begriff update oder upgrade benutzt weil ein Kapitalismus 2.0 immer noch auf Wachstum basieren würde, was bei begrenzten Ressourcen nicht funktioniert.

Insgesamt ein gut geschriebenes Buch, was mir allerdings nicht umbedingt Mut gemacht hat, um optimistisch in die Zukunft zu schauen.

5 stars, really. Come on. You already know a lot of stuff from this book, so why 5 stars?
First, it's good to be reminded of some thing again and again because we tend to forget things, even important things.
And I mean, a productivity coach, who already mediates and takes care of himself and who still suffers from anxiety and burnout and then tells you to focus on being calm instead of being productive? Sounds more like a novel than a non-fiction book, doesn't it? :-)

I picked the book up because I was pretty productive but I wasn't very happy. I wasn't very stressed, at least not in the common sense of working too many hours and so on but I wasn't calm either. I was overthinking a lot.
The book helped me, combined with other changes, to focus on what's important for me.
