Reseñas y comentarios

Interesting book. It exposes several thoughts/theories/observations that it had been in my mind for several years now, so it resonated to me a lot. I found the last section, the "diary of a mother", highly touching...

Despite that, my rating is "low" because:
I found it too "binary" and simplistic in her identification of "the main source of evil/suffering".
Maybe too redundant with the message, too repetitive sometimes...
* Despite the high value that I give to the author's experiences and opinions, and how much they resonate to me, unfortunately not a single study is mentioned to back up anything (no data, no scientific studies, no numbers at all, nothing...).

It took me a while to finish reading it: I confess I got demotivated in the middle after reading some tweets from the author where he showed an amazing lack of humility (and it was not accidental). To me, that erases all the authority to talk about some topics... And that can be perceived in several places of the book as well.

Still... I think it's a good book. If you have been active and curious in the "agile" mindset for a while, you probably already know most of the references he offers, but still, it's a good wrap-up. And if you don't know them, it will probably introduce you into many interesting topics.

Wow... even if it's already a "bestseller" and I had heard very good opinions about it, I confess that it has very positively surprised me.

With some mind-blowing reflections, it's one of those books which help you to "reconnect" with both yourself and somehow with life and the world...

Uuufff... se me hizo bola.

Lo más importante: utiliza un lenguaje rococó y oscuro que dificulta enormemente su comprensión.

Solo recomendable para "estudiosos" del tema, de Ortega y Gasset, o libertarios empedernidos ^____^

I would recommended reading "The Good Parts" much more than this one, specially for someone who has not already "interiorized" the JS "best pracitces"...

This was my third attempt in the last 10 years to read it... and finally succeeded, yuhuu :-D

It's that kind of book where you think: "How have I been able to work without reading it?" ^___^

I feel that even in 2019 it brings a lot of value, many things still apply.

On the other hand, is far away from a beginner-intermediate book, I would only recommend it to people who have been working with Java for several years.

Really AMAZING book.

I would recommend it to anyone interested in building relationships with other human beings, no matter the type or "flavour" they chose.

Always nicely "surprised" to find so many Non-Violent Communication ideas (included the explicit ones) in so many places, for example in this book.

And even more recommended for people who feel that something is broken in the traditional narrative about how the emotional, spiritual, intellectual and sexual relationships "should happen", about what is "right" or what is "wrong", the "natural" and "unnatural" fallacies...
