TL;DR Own your wins, own your failures, stay calm and make decisions. Read it. 5/5

TL;DR War stories and pieces of advice from the high tech industry veteran.

TL;DR Nice’n’easy reading for novice managers

TL;DR If you are an Israeli and don’t feel like learning the behind the scenes stories, skip it. Otherwise, I do recommend reading this book. I enjoyed it a lot 4.5/5

TL;DR Good motivation to improve communication. Inadequate source of information on how to achieve that

TL;DR Interesting “history of work” book (definitely not “future of work”) with insights on transition-state organizations. Read it if history of work is your thing, or if you work in a small company that grows rapidly. 4.5/5 (due to the personal connection)

TL;DR: Dull on the surface but has a lot of good points

TL;DR shallow and disappointing

TL;DR: excellent fiction reading, makes you think about your life choices. 5/5

TL;DR: a nice popular science book that covers many aspects of the modern science

TL;DR: This is a long motivational book that is “too spiritual” for the cynic materialist that I am.

Nir Eyal is known for his book “Hooked” in which he teaches how to create addictive products. In his new book “Indistractable”, Nir teaches how to live in the world full of addictive products. The book itself isn’t bad. It provides interesting information and, more importantly, practical tips and action items. Nir covers topics such as digital distraction, productivity and procrastination.

The bottom line: read it but use your best judgement 4/5

Several people suggested that I read “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!”. That is why, when I got my new Kindle, “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” was the first book I bought.
Richard Feynman was a trained theoretical physics who co-won the Nobel Prize. From reading the book, I discovered that Feynman was also a drummer, a painter, an expert on Native American mathematics, safecracker, a samba player, and an educator. The more I read this book, the more astonished I was about Feynman’s personality and his story.
