Très instructif pour comprendre les mécanismes qui poussent une idée à avoir du succès !
Very interesting book, lots of practical exercises ! However, you've got to have a strong imagination and not be too down to earth
Cet ouvrage est édifiant. Il dresse un portrait simple mais efficace de l'état de l'agriculture aujourd'hui en France. La plupart des consommateurs sont conscients de quelques uns des dangers et travers de l'agriculture mais ce livre permet de comprendre le “système” complet.
Un peu technique. Présente l'état de la recherche sur le sujet et dresse quelques conclusions dans le chapitre final. Pas passionnant pour un non chercheur ou non spécialiste.
I finished this book moments ago in a coffee shop. It's the first time in my life that I really had to stop myself from crying because of a book.
Sometimes I get emotional while reading a book but what I felt by reading this book is beyond emotional.
André Aciman successfully shaped characters that are well rounded and as complex as real human beings.
I usually never read romance books because I tend to feel that they're always depicting superficiality but Call Me By Your Name paints love in all its complexity without hiding the difficult moments, the suffering and the pain that might result from a beautiful story.
This book is very enjoyable. It' easy access social psychology and everyone is able to understand the different studies that are described in this book. I'd definitely recommend to anyone interested in psychology, human behaviour or even life in general.
Superbe pièce écrit dans un langage bien plus abordable que la version de Sophocle. Le message est également différent et la version de Giraudoux permet de mieux comprendre certains concepts clés de psychologie.
The tone is extremely pedantic, the content is completely outdated, the structure very poor. Don't read this book unless you have time to waste.
This book is absolutely wonderful, it's a great source of knowledge for anyone undergoing transformation. This book taught me that when you start a project of any kind don't be afraid to step in again afterwards when everything is going wrong to make it corresponding to your original vision no matter what it takes.
This book gave me a brand new perspective on introverts and i feel like I can understand them better now.
Some interesting tips but the entire content of this book could be stripped down to a one thousand words article.
I hate those American non fiction books in which the author seems to believe that only by repeating a point 20 times the readers will understand.
Overall poorly written, and slightly disappointing.
Really interesting research summary on the causality of “gayness”. Most hypotheses (up to the publication date) are explored with specific papers being mentioned and their limits being discussed. The book mostly focuses on the G II. LGBT due to a lack of research for the other sexual orientations.
Well written but a bit too simplistic at some times. Filled with a lot of examples so very explicit.
While this book is an interesting read the way it is structured isn't always clear. Many times Nicholas Carr would digress from the main subject and goes on and on about something unrelated keeping us wondering “so what?”. However, I can only recognise the extensive references that are backing up his claims, all the conclusions in this book are based on science and the extensive bibliography will satisfy the most curious readers.
Great book but probably getting a bit old. The good point is that it's very practical and not just theories
I added this book on my to do list when seeing the diplomatic efforts by the DPRK, South Korea and the US to move closer towards reunification. I was not disappointed.
A very well written book giving a glimpse of life in North Korea through the moving yet ordinary stories of 6 normal people.
This book goes beyond what we normally see and think through traditional media.
A must read if you want to understand how is daily life in North Korea.
Exceptional but the end is a bit abrupt and not as far fetched as the rest of the book.
This book is very informative and accessible for everyone. I'd definitely recommend it to everyone, it's an eye opening book that'll help you develop critical skills.
Some good advice but too much focus on the underlying motives and not enough on practical strategies.
This book is absolutely fantastic. It describes one of our #1 problem which is : we know that we make snap judgments, we know that those judgments are powerful but we do not know how to educate them and put them to good use. This book is full of examples of people using efficiently and appropriately those rapid cognition abilities to improve their understanding of their environment.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the human brain !
Interesting but way too complicated, one needs a very good understanding of physics to really enjoy this book.
I've read this book in a day while being sleep deprived for travel reasons so I might not have been in the best conditions to evaluate this book. However, the language used is very clear and the author skilfully explores the different truth bending devices used by master « misleaders » (his word, not mine) but which can also serve a better purpose. Through concrete examples he casts light on the fact that often a situation can have competing truths depending on context/beliefs/data/predictions etc.
Some chapters are a bit long and unrelated to the topic at hand. If you've enjoyed books by Dan Ariely or other behavioural scientists then you will enjoy this one.
