"Over Dramatized!"
The plot is of course so dreamy and fancy. But the narrator over dramatization ruined my experience. But it is worth the couple of hours!
"Confused logic!"
The authors regularly confuse correlation with causation, overestimate irrelevant indicators, provide what looks to me as contradictory data and loose the thread all together.
I couldn't force myself to finish the book (or should I call it the Zillow infomercial) but from the big chunk I endured I can say it is one of the worst in the genre.
"Fine book, but I have two problems with it!"
The book is original and has a lot of fresh ideas, only two comments:
- Calling introverts repeatedly "open" , "more reactive", "sensitive", "reflective" , " more consciousness", ... is for me more biased than analytical.
- While casually stating that there are no pure introverts/extroverts and we are all a little bit of both, the stories imply otherwise. There are always two poles to contrast MLK Jr. vs Rosa Parks, Eleanor vs Franklin D. Roosevelt etc. It got me lost trying to find out to which side I belong :)
If you have before read/listened to books for Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Daniel Gilbert or any of the other great psychologists who illustrate the human biases, heuristics and mental fallacies ... then avoid this book.
The books only provides anecdotal evidence for already well studied topics while putting the whole thing in a very clumsy, shallow model.
Most of the anecdotes are entertaining though :)
It is very hard to accept all the ideas presented in this book (or any of Taleb's books) but that is an author that makes you think about and challenge everything he comes across. An instant classic.
"If only..."
Listening to this kind of book now makes you wonder what would have happened if people back then understood all the lobbying, greediness, manipulating and pure corruption that were playing all along for years. Great listen!
The book is an amazing listen, however if you are looking for an economic/financial explanation of the history of debt and its current implications, you might get bugged with the "anthropological" sides of the history ( too many tribal stories :D )
"Long yet incomplete."
The book is generally a bit too long with lots of repetitions and it also treats the economic situations as if it (the book) provides "The right" explanation which seems to be an over simplification of a very complex world.
However, the biggest drawback is that it almost neglects the political side of the story completely! The author draws a picture where things went south because of recklessness, stupidity and mismanagement while ignoring lobbying, agency issues and pure corruption and also pin points solutions ignoring the political/social sides of the dilemma.
For me, books with less economical jargon and more political and "complete picture" approach give a better explanation (like Michael Lewis books or Griftopia or similar ones)
"THE best judgment and behavioral psychology book."
I have read/listened to a handful of books about judgment, decision-making, behavioral economics, and cognitive psychology. Now I have found "The Source"
Daniel Kahneman practically invented those areas of research and after getting a Nobel prize for doing so, he finally decided to write for the ordinary person in a very understandable and enjoyable manner.
Satisfaction guaranteed :)
"A MUST, but"
I have been always fascinated by the brain science, how the mind work and psychology. But I found myself always gravitating to the non-clinical side of it, but the cognitive and social sides, that is "How the normal minds work and how the average person behaves", so I thought a clinical cases book by the great Dr. Sacks can help. I WAS RIGHT.
Why not 5 stars then? because the author didn't in some parts take into consideration that some non-professionals like myself would read it :) A lot of neurological terminology and drug names can sometimes get to my nerves.
After all, a must.
"Could have been better"
Great advice mixed with some unpractical tips, good narration weakened by dull examples. Could have been much better

Overview: Doing more with less isn't just a cliché to most IT managers. Companies expect their IT infrastructure to reduce costs even as it processes, stores and analyzes increasingly massive amounts of data, handles skyrocketing numbers of transactions dependably and delivers business value that makes the companies more agile, profitable and successful.

Just want to give a shout out to all our resident veterans here at SSG: thank you for your service, and hope you and yours all have a wonderful day!

Navajo Code Talkers will be walking in the NY Veteran's Day Parade today. They are in the process of establishing a, much earned, museum in their honor.
Their contributions in WWII are unimaginable, certainly without them we may not have won at Iwo Jima. Code Talkers served in every Marine assault in the South Pacific between 1942 and 1945.
IMO, they deserve their own memorial on "The Mall".
May the force be with you.
A huge shout-out to BigB, SK99, Slick and all other SSG veterans!
Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I'm disappointed that the events at the bottom of the SSG Forums page is blank. Eleventh hour, eleventh day, eleventh month?
But I'm wearing my flag All-Star Chuck Taylors, US Constitution (the document, not the ship) shirt, blue shorts today. Mad props to all the veterans out there!
"That's what Sheev said."
On 11-11-11, I send all positive vibes out to our heroes (retired and passed on), and especially for safe wishes to our veterans-to-be who are currently serving, once they retire.
"That's what Sheev said."
Once again, thank you's all around to the veterans who do more for others. :selflessservice:

While on my trip to Europe, I spent a week in Italy and fortunately was able to visit Naples to eat at L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele.I was able to score a nice video of them preparing a Margherita! Enjoy!
Also, Im strongly considering in the next couple months purchasing a WFO for my backyard! I will be doing some intense research into my choice of oven and ever learning as much as I can about the WFO prior to any moves I make, but I am very interested in this oven Omid suggested mehttp://www.fornoclassico.com/forno-piccoloIts a smaller scale oven that makes one pizza at a time that is somewhat similar to the primavera by forno bravo. Do you guys think this is a good move for me?
Thanks John!I have been learning a lot in the past couple of days, especially about how yeast works and the process of making dough.I will for sure try this recipe! Its the standard, so it follows very closely the recipe I have usually been doing, but I will scale it down and for sure I need to down the amount of yeast I use because I think 3g is way to much for the length of fermentation I would like. 5-6 hour dough is just not what Im looking for, a day sounds much better in terms of the outcome of the dough, from what Ive learned at least.

Bambi Baby knows what works best with little ones from experience, which is why we carry gliders for your nursery, which are basically updated versions of baby rocking chairs. While we still carry rocking chairs, gliders are designed to slide forward and backward, rather than rocking in an arc. In addition to going forward and backward, some gliders also swivel.
The smooth motions of a glider or baby rocking chair will instantly calm and sooth your baby when you hold him or her, and for those long nights up with your little one, there is nothing better than sitting in a comfortably cushioned chair. We carry our baby furniture to suit your baby's nursery and to keep him or her safe, but we are certainly not forgetting you. Choosing the right glider is essential because being a new parent can be stressful and exhausting. For this reason, we carry a wide variety, which are all perfectly cushioned to ensure you stay comfortable no matter how long you are seated with your baby or little one for.
While all of our gliders for your baby's nursery are well made and comfortable, each of them comes in different colors, styles, shapes, sizes, and materials. Whether you want to stick with cloth or leather, exposed wood or a completely upholstered chair, it is up to you. Moreover, some of our chairs come with matching ottomans to ensure maximum comfort. While some of the ottomans are stable, others rock back and forth to match the rhythm while rocking your baby. If space constraints are at the top of your list, we carry reclining gliders that rock and swivel without the added space of the ottoman. No matter what your budget or restrictions are, we have something to match your needs. We carry the top selling brands, including AFG Baby, Best Chairs, Creations, Dutailier, and Monte, to ensure you find just what you are looking for.
