Well written. Entertaining since it's containing stories and also derived principals from these stories.
All in all a good read.
I am inclined to start Aikido, just for the mindset behind it.

It' a good compendium on what to do (Protect your time) why (More focus, less distractions, more sanity.
I really like their style. "Fuck this" and "bullshit" and all these words a lot of people use but you don't usually find in a book make it very honest.

Review of 'Docker for Rails Developers: Build, Ship, and Run Your Applications Everywhere' on 'Goodreads'
5 Sterne
If you want to develop rails with docker, this book is for you.
I read it on my kindle (the docker config files are a bit hard to read but it's possible)
4 or 5 chapters are still missing. I will read them once they have been written. :-)
In total a good step by step guide to get you started.

Review of 'The total money makeover' on 'Goodreads'
4 Sterne
Interesting read. I guess I identified one flaw in my budgeting process (didn‘t make a plan for the whole income per month)
Will try out the baby steps and see if they make sense for me.
The bible references were a bit annoying but I could ignore them.
afuerstenau hat Vox von Christina Dalcher besprochen
Review of 'Vox' on 'Goodreads'
4 Sterne
Extremely exciting especially at the end. (last 20%)
A bit confusing to follow all the different strands, but maybe it's a good reference to how our lives really are. Challenges don't wait until you think you have capacity for them.
All in all an interesting read (I got hooked up by the 100 words per day thing.).
afuerstenau hat The power of less von Leo Babauta besprochen
Review of 'The power of less' on 'Goodreads'
4 Sterne
All in all a good and valuable read. I like the mantra of less because it can help in many areas (as he points out in the book). It's somewhat repetitive and you will know quite a lot if you are familiar with minimalism.
afuerstenau hat Factfulness von Hans Rosling besprochen
Review of 'Factfulness' on 'Goodreads'
5 Sterne
Incredible read. Helps to move the focus from a single (negative or even horrible) event to a more mid- or long term focus. And in the long run almost everything is improving. Just keep working to make things better!

Short book which helps you to focus on your life at hand. What happens right now, in this exact moment? Are you fully aware?
Partly interesting stories. Somewhat repetitive. Helpful.
afuerstenau hat Blood, Sweat, and Pixels von Jason Schreier besprochen
Review of 'Blood, Sweat, and Pixels' on 'Goodreads'
5 Sterne
Very interesting read. It's more like 8 or 9 mini books within one book, written in the same style.
Due to the fact that I, myself am part of the games industry a lot of patters seem familiar and I was able to explain a lot of behavior which I was able to observe at Bigpoint over the last 8 years or so.
Sure, a game team is a complex system but I doubt that crunch and chaos is inevitable. In the end agile methods, tools and principles are developed to help in a complex environment (in the end every team, group, company is a complex system on its own).

afuerstenau hat Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1) von Ernest Cline besprochen
Review of 'Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)' on 'Goodreads'
5 Sterne
Interested in RPG's and/or interested in the 80's this book is for you.
Ok, I finished 80% of the book within one day. I couldn't put it away. There are a lot of mysterious and riddles in it which make it stay exciting.
And I am looking forward to the movie which starts next week.
