Review of 'Estar con Los Que Mueren' on 'Goodreads'

4 estrellas

A "tough" book (if you read it with "fully conscious"), about one of the most important and remaining taboos of our society: the taboo of death.

Even if reading will never replace any experience, it can be a good trigger for some reflections and reconnecting with life at its whole... which includes its termination.

Review of 'Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design' on 'Goodreads'

5 estrellas

Amazing book.

Highly pedagogical thanks to the tones of code and examples that come with the theory, which is the main asset of the book, from my point of view.
Also very complete, getting a little bit into CQRS and ES (Event Sourcing).

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get deeper into DDD and see other people approaches.

Review of 'Lecturas de historia de la psicología' on 'Goodreads'

Interesante pero, irónicamente, no es muy pedagógico que digamos...
No lo recomendaría si no es porque tienes que presentarte a "Historia de la Psicología" por la UNED ^____^

Review of 'Influencia y PersuasióN. Serie Inteligencia Emocional HBR (Influence and Persuasion Spanish Edition)' on 'Goodreads'

3 estrellas

Libro interesante, aunque me deja con una típica sensación de este tipo de lecturas: la de estar en frente de una lectura "fast food" superficial sobre el comportamiento humano (aunque entiendo que en parte ésa es la idea de este tipo de publicaciones).

Tiene su punto en cualquier caso, y siempre está bien como disparador para profundizar en otras cuestiones. Otra de las inquietudes que me despierta es hasta qué punto los estudios presentados son "anecdóticos" o no.

Aún así, supongo que recomendaría su lectura: en el peor de los casos, es bastante ameno :-)

I liked it (that's what the 3 stars rating means :-p ).

Some very good insights, advice and hints.

Also, many things missing from my point of view (missing much more XP), and some "wrong" approaches (I would say "too American/competitive/individualistic" approach sometimes, and other times too "mainstream", like assuming traditional estimations, too much focus on the 1on1s versus open team retrospectives, etc.).

It would have been nice to use a gender-neutral "they" in a consistent way, instead of jumping from "he" to "she" continuously, sometimes it was confusing to me.

Daniel J. Siegel: El cerebro del niño (2018, Alba) 4 estrellas

Review of 'El cerebro del niño' on 'Goodreads'

2 estrellas

IMO very good reflections and practical tips for dealing with children in a healthy way.

At the same time, at least in the Kindle version, I missed references to the scientific researches and publications where the statements of the authors were validated: there was NONE. That's the main reason for my low rating...

Review of 'Working Effectively with Legacy Code' on 'Goodreads'

Despite the years elapsed since it was written, and the high expectations... it didn't disappoint me at all :-)

I already knew some techniques thanks to Sandro Mancuso screencasts. I got lots of useful reminders, new learnings and reflections and some new techniques.

It's also nice to see techniques for different languages/paradigms. This book is a great complement to the Refactoring one, I can only highly recommend it! :-)
