Un énième livre sur le développement des habitudes, mais qui malheureusement pêche justement en étant l'énième. Je m'attendais à un vrai découpage plus orienté outil, peut être à de l'aide à la mise en place de la méthode Kaizen ou autre, mais finalement ce livre n'apporte pas grand chose de vraiment neuf dans le développement des habitudes etc. On revient sur les même tropes : se rendre “accountable”, bien doser la difficulté, respecter les répétitions etc. De plus le livre parait extrêmement long pour le sujet qu'il traite pour au final peu d'intérêt. Dommage, il avait pourtant un bon potentiel.

I think the author should have took their own advice and make some severe cuts in this book. It felt like a lot of common advices (I don't know but reading "just do it" advices don't work that much on me so that's that...) wrapped into a lot of American new-age talking (have you tried meditation? meditation is great! You should try meditation!). While a lot of the advices are really interesting, I had a really hard time getting through this one and it felt it could have been at least half shorter and be more interesting (and less preachy).

As someone who spent a lost of my first year in my career running away from anything close to "office politics", this book could have helped a lot. It focus on the soft skills, the relationships you have to build to create a real career that goes beyond your job titles, and how it might totally change the impact you have. I'd advise this to anyone starting to work in the Product world, or even wider.

Craft is also staying calm during meetings with a difficult Product Manager. Craft is managing stakeholder expectations and finding the best path forward. Craft is also helping the team understand how they contribute to a user’s overall experience and influencing decisions when the time comes.

Beautiful and haunting book, a deep exploration of the mindset around Israel-Palestine and how Palestinians are seen. Gets things into perspective. I came out of this read horrified and having learned way more than I thought I would.

Jaffa wasn't just groves! But even if it was, even if it was just desert, this lie you all want to believe doesn't grant you the right to kill us and expel us. Even if we were the most backward people in the world, that doesn't give you the right to displace us. Nor to kill us. Go and fight the Europe which expelled you and killed you...

Great book that shows queer representations across all of history and mythology, showing through those timeless tales that we always existed and were always there. On top of that the illustrations of each tale is absolutely stunning. It truly moved me to read all those tales from around the world and see a part of myself in each of those.
