Great bookbut wished Kent read it

Revisado: 04-24-25

I needed this book.

I've been thinking about coupling for a long time (shorter than Kent by far). But a lonesome voice calling out isn't worth ad much as a lonesome voice calling out and referring to book written by Kent Beck.

I just wished Kent read them himself. The reader is great! But Kent's tonality is a bit more striking. Aggressive, but warm.

Modern history told from the inside

Revisado: 04-22-25

I loved this book!

Sarah's experience is extreme, but relatable. As someone who's been in the Stockholm startup scene, I've seen similar things on a smaller scale.

Maybe breaking laws and regulations is part of the definition of startups. Maybe we get careless people at the top by design.

I'm motivated to go a step further in what tools I use in my life.

Thank you for a great book!

I just paid for a sales pitch

Revisado: 06-02-18

I expected to learn about value stream mapping. this was just about selling six sigma, not teaching a methodology. I stopped half-way and skimmed through the rest in hope for content.

great first chapter, but then it got weak

Revisado: 05-15-18

I really enjoyed the early chapter on batch sizes, but the rest didn't contribute much with actual advice that gets me closer to doing microservices.

Great book about US economics

Revisado: 04-23-18

The book was great! Good narrator, and important issues. I miss the international perspective though, and important questions about the validity of capitalism was quickly breezed through. I was expecting a bit more on 0% growth, environment, politics, and ethics.

visual version really

Revisado: 03-09-17

the narrator forgets about the nonvisual audience halfway through, but still amazing! just hard to visualize that "strings will wiggle like that".

good for US

Revisado: 01-09-17

I enjoyed it! But the author only did non-metrics, and overall was too normative about the wives being the cooks.

on the positive side, it was informative and full of scientific findings.

audible hopes you've enjoyed this program

Revisado: 05-30-16

not sure I enjoyed this program. who am I? do I exist? so many supercool thoughts after listening to this. as a developer, I can relate to the quantum weirdness that in my work is simply called side-effects.

so. just give it a listen and let your mind melt away!

A story of wars and kings, but not the people

Revisado: 05-07-16

Would you try another book from The Great Courses and/or Professor Eamonn Gearon?

I think the author felt informed, so I could give another book a chance, but I do not agree on where the focus should be. For me, wars and kings are mostly products of its age and people. Muhammed felt like an exception, and there was a couple of more after that. But I would not stand a book with this kind of obsession of war.

What do you think your next listen will be?

My next listen after this was about particle physics.

Have you listened to any of Professor Eamonn Gearon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not.

What character would you cut from Turning Points in Middle Eastern History?

N/A.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to learn much more of the inventions, philosophers, turning points of everyday life. This kind of book is what made me not like history in school. The intro was tantalizing! The rest of the book had really good spots. But overall, I didn't learn that much.

sorry but I enjoyed it!

Revisado: 02-23-16

This is a perfect book for understanding philosophy as a beginner.

it gets too heavy into the questions about god. but I guess its an american thing.

still, the book is light, comical, serious, and leaves me with more questions than before.

just terrific!
