A very interesting essay about the economic debt from an anthropologist perspective.
But... you really have to be VERY interested in this topic, it will be a tough reading otherwise ;-)

Review of 'No pienses en un elefante. Lenguaje y debate político' on 'Goodreads'
5 estrellas
Another great essay about the power of the language, the framings and the metaphors, in this case in the context of politics (specifically in the USA, though it could be easily adapted to many other countries).
Even having read it with my critical thinking in active mode, I found lots of interesting reflections and highlights to think about (I am also conscious that a good part of my morals probably matches with the writer's one).

A book to put into its context, with some arguable reasonings (and anthropology theories), but highly interesting.

Review of 'Cracking the Coding Interview' on 'Goodreads'
2 estrellas
Not very sure what to say...
To be honest, in the "non-technical" chapters I found too many advices which were really creepy. I'm concerned that someone without too much experience just reads it and take it for granted. I also understand that, among other reasons, there must be cultural differences to explain them.
For algorithms and data structures: I found other resources (like an existing free Udacity course) much more pedagogical...
Frankly speaking: I wouldn't recommend as first reading for preparing for a technical interview with algorithms and data structures, but it would be interesting as an additional support.

I liked getting introduced into the Enneagram (I knew almost nothing about it).
Besides that, I can not say much more... :-)
Isidro López reseñó The conquest of happiness de Bertrand Russell (Routledge classics)
Review of 'The conquest of happiness' on 'Goodreads'

It's amazing how most of the content of this 90 years old essay still applies nowadays.
After reading it, I can only keeping on admiring Bertrand Russell (who I'm pretty sure contained a Buddhist deep down :-) ).
Isidro López reseñó a Clean Architecture (Robert C. Martin Series)
Review of 'Clean Architecture' on 'Goodreads'
3 estrellas
As my rating says: I liked it (no more, no less) :-)
It has not become one of the main technical books that I would recommend to someone, and I don't feel that there are no "new ideas", but I found it useful as a reminder of many concepts.
Review of 'Writing Idiomatic Python 3. 3' on 'Goodreads'
3 estrellas
It's easy and quick to read, and having examples of everything is great.
A little bit basic for anyone who had spent some time using Python and has worried about "doing things right"... but it's OK :-)
Very recommended for anyone starting with Python.
