Excellent Explanation but More Applications

Revisado: 12-23-24

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked how each algorithm was presented, it's history explained and how it's used. However, if each algorithm was used with a real world example explaining how someone applied each algorithm this book would be perfect. I am trying to level of decision making skills as a leader and that missing piece would make this book even better.

Professional Engineer Turned Ph.D.

Revisado: 03-07-24

Once again Cal Newport has produced a book that has given me more skills, strategies and habits to be successful. I started listening to Deep Work, How to Be a Straight A Student and So Good They Can't Ignore You. Like his other work this book has helped a professional engineer excel as an older Ph.D. student. I highly recommend for any knowledge worker.

Revisado: 06-30-22

The truth that you control your mindset saved me from self pity. This book inspired me to get up early do calisthenics and run on a regular basis.

Best Leadership Book I Have Ever Read

Revisado: 08-03-21

This book helped change my attitude as a manufacturing engineer to support a new product launch through process development. Taking ownership and focus on the mission and team ensured I had the right mindset to tackle problems and not worry about other peoples opinion of me unless it's relevant to the mission.
