I went back to the basics this year. Re-read my favorites from Jerry Weinberg ( August 7, 2018)
- The Secrets of Consulting: A Guide to Giving and Getting Advice Successfully
- An Introduction to General Systems Thinking
- Becoming a Technical Leader: An Organic Problem-Solving Approach
- Are your lights on?
based on his references I went back to Virginia Satir, her Books are kinda hard to order:
- The new Peoplemaking
- The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond
- Your Many Faces.
And as always once a year:
- Thinking in Systems: A Primer - Donella H. Meadows
Just writting this list makes me realize that this was a kinda classic year for me. Still read a lot of coding books i.e.: about JS, CloujourScript but nothing stood out.
- Understanding ECMAScript6: The Definitive Guide for JavaScript Developers - Nicholas C. Zakas
was good. Some points I did not know and a good read.
- Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It - Chris Voss
was great as it gave me new insights how to structure my speech and thoughts behind it.
But well, my favorite book this year was and is mine
- "Understanding SEO - A Systematic Approach to Search Engine Optimization" - Franz Enzenhofer
Taking what i learned from Weinberg and Meadows (with some E. Bono) and apply it to the system that is search(-behaviour and the marketplace Google). https://www.fullstackoptimization.com/b/understanding-seo https://www.fullstackoptimization.com/b/understanding-seo
- Dowwie 8y agoWhat is it about "Thinking in Systems" that compels you to read it annually?
- franze 8y agoit defined the way i think about ... everything. and every year again while reading it i put my experiences (business and private) again in the form of systems and leverage points as outlined by donella. and every year again its an awesome learning experience. simply the most important book i have ever read. (i read a lot)
- Dowwie 8y agoYou've piqued my interest. It's now in my queue.
