Repeat, repeat again

Revisado: 12-29-18

Interesting concepts but this could have easily been a blog post or paper.

As a book, it was repetitive and then at the end tried to say the title meant something else (perhaps realising the reader knew he had not achieved his ambitious title goal).

Just cannot recommend this one.

Just a brilliant book...

Revisado: 08-13-18

This was just brilliant; and although long it is worth every minute.

And then the conclusion chapter just ties a perfect bow on it all... which would be worth re-reading many times.

Scary reality of the world of hacking

Revisado: 01-27-18

This is a scary, but a great story of the insights into one of the world's biggest hackers in the 80s and 90s.

Kevin Mitnick takes you on a fascinating, and somewhat scary, journey of his life and his habits. He has an interesting perspective on the real impact he had, perhaps because of how he rationalises what he did.

Essentially though, this is a story of someone breaking the law, and the insights do provide any reader with food for thought on security for the internet, computers and phones.

I would recommend this book to anyone.

Brilliant book to understand AI

Revisado: 01-12-18

This is a brilliant book to understand and consider the coming age of artificial intelligence.

There are concepts that are challenging to get your mind around however the journey you are taken on by the author provides an amazing insight into the world of artificial intelligence.

Brilliant and mind expanding

Revisado: 12-05-17

This is not a review where I will describe key themes or concepts, as I cannot do this book justice with my written words.

Throughly enjoyed the intellectual journey and explanations that fill this book.

This is a book for anyone wanting to explore the concepts of collective intelligence in the digital era.

Fascinating insight

Revisado: 10-26-17

This is an excellent audio book onto the insights of Elon Musk. In particular the first half provides a brilliant view of his background, his leadership style and the type of personality that drives such an interesting person.

I did find the second half of the book a bit too much about the industry of space exploration, electric cars and solar power. This meant you were losing the insights into the person, and it became a more technical book on the industry.

Overall a great read but perhaps this should have been 2 books - one about the person and one about the industries.

Great insight and thoroughly recommend

Revisado: 10-12-17

I was not expecting to find this is a book that would see me rate it so highly, but it is a great read to hear directly from Hillary Rodham Clinton on how she saw the 2016 election.

This books takes you on journey into the negativity that is modern politics, and as you progress through the book you realise there are some great learnings for us as a society, and as individuals.

I thoroughly recommend this book to hear from one viewpoint, but an important viewpoint.

Great narrative and story on the early days of Nik

Revisado: 09-17-17

An enjoyable read from Phil Knight that takes you on a journey of the trials and tribulations of Nike.

It takes you up to the early 80s, and as with any good book, you so wish it had of kept going up until today.

For those not in the shoe business, and that is me, this book provides you the insights into how to ensure you are passionate for your craft, and the importance of alignment of your working and personal life.

Well worth the read.

Great simple guide to CBT

Revisado: 08-21-17

This is a clear and simple guide to CBT that provides for me the first clear link between the spiritual elements and CBT.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their life and how they interact with the world and themselves.
