Pretty well rounded book on cat as species, from history of domestication and their evolution, to certain realities of their life in modern times.

Good wrap up of cases and different approaches toward abnormal psychology.

It was a great course, very informative and eye opening.

It was full of typos and grammatical errors beside wrong choice of words and incomprehensible language!
I wouldn't read a line of it, if it wasn't (surprisingly) our text book for “Sociology of Education” course.

Amusing piece of work, some of the obvious sarcasms felt painful, as if recalling fresh memories of a trauma!

good insight on the internal flow of things inside Y combinatilor and usual challenges of startups and their founders.

Long, confusing at times, but never boring. I have enjoyed the read, mostly as a geek!

Reread the WW2 timeline, enjoyed it again.

Regression toward mean is everywhere, including this author's books :D

Although realizing that you were wrong (even as much as your whole adult life) about something is not a very pleasant situation, I prefer to do so on regular basis, rather than remaining ignorant of my surroundings.

I can now say that I have some ideas about what linguistics is!

This dug much deeper in notions of diversity, crowd sourcing, prediction markets and team problem solving. Loved it.

Good wrap up on various aspects and practices of conflict management, should reread and practice! :)

Felt like Cryptonomicon and Snowcrash, fast paced, interesting characters and lots of computer and gun related technical details.

A very good and necessary read for everyone, as we are always bombarded with health advice/salesmanship/decisions and we all could use a handy skeptic toolkit.
The author offers practical (6 Ss) toolkit with tangible, up to date examples.

Concise, with good references to further reading and research on “geek corner” sections.

A bit happy ending-ish, not as strong as Asimov only works.

This was one of the mos cringe-inducing books I have read. I was trying to sift through the BS to find some kernels of useful advice, and couldn't really.
For a while I thought it might be that it is out of date, but nope, at no point in contemporary history this stands to be a proper book.
And like many self-help books it can be summarized in 10 or so pages, if you remove all repetitions (like full sentences repeated, not even same idea in different forms).

Finishing this was an exercise in self-control and persistence.

The book has a good narrative and touches upon many topics connected to the main theme. A good read :)

It was funny and entertaining as expected :)

Great lectures if you want to have a good overview and background on psychology.

It sheds a new light over two personalities, their spectrum, their pros and cons and each ones best adaptive strategies.

My take-home conclusion of the book: it's not the end of the world if you are an introvert! :)

Good cover on teaching trends.

Not as good of SnowCrash, still cool though!

It started pretty strong and reasonable, but finished with typical anecdotes of self-help books.
I got these useful bits out of it:
* learn to express needs instead of demands
* learn to articulate observation of others without value judgement (positive or negative)

These two combined can sooth out many otherwise confrontational encounters.

It could've been a 30 page essay.
