Pragmatisches Denken Und Lernen. Refactor Your Wetware! (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Although this work is written mostly for programmers and other knowledge workers, it contains a wealth of knowledge and practices that will enable even the most learned to do more. Written in a clear and compelling style, "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning" succeeds at illustrating how to think better and lear better. I really wish that I had read this book before the completion of my formal education because I am certain that I would have learned far more with the insights this work contains. Implementing this book will be an integral part of my life. Notice the lack of qualification in the previous sentence: I expect to be guided by this book's knowledge for decades to come. I have read hundreds of books, and this one is now on my top ten list of books. "Go read this book" hardly conveys how strongly I recommend this work, but it will have to suffice. An awesome book! It is a real eye opener for so many aspects of our life - how our brain works, concentration, errors, self improvement, meditation and rest, dealing with lots of work, valuing your ideas and ways of generating more. It has so many practical examples that even if you try just one of them (and most probably it will work for you) you will already have made a good step towards your goal. You'll be a little more pragmatic. And you'll love it :) This is not a book strictly related to programming, even if programming is used as the base field to get examples from. You can basically apply all these principles in many other fields.Let's hope after all this praising that you at least like it "a third" of how much I like it. Have fun!
