It was recommended in a thread earlier today which often prompts other users at their luck at reaching the front page with a link submission.
I haven’t read his book, but his LinkedIn posts used to pop up on my feed until I blocked him because he really sounded superficial.
I was quite surprised to see it recommended here. Maybe I should give it a look
- kthejoker2 6y agoIs there something wrong with a 100 page introductory book on a topic being "superficial"? I find this kind of fixed-mindset gatekeeping a lot and it really rubs me the wrong way. Everyone has to start somewhere. We typically discourage people from diving in the deep end of a subject. You know, starting with something "superficial."
- prionassembly 6y agoPeople can be tricked into thinking they get more than what they actually do. It's flattering to be told you can "get a feel for it" and emerge knowledgeable on the other side.
- wodenokoto 6y agoNo. I didn't like his LinkedIn posts, so I wrote off the book. Given the attention on HN I am now reconsidering giving the book another chance.
