Story
Written to take advantage of the brief window between the end of lockdown and Jimmy getting cancelled for saying something unforgivable to Lorraine Kelly, this book is as timely as it is unnecessary. Because you might be interested in Jimmy's life but he's damn sure you're a lot more interested in your own, Before & Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him.

If you are a manager or leader in an organization - company, public service, or NGO - or you are simply interested in how to make your organization work better, then this book is for you. If you have the feeling that you are skating over the surface of what is really going on in your organization, if you know that there is something more vital that you are missing out on, if you’re frustrated by applying the same management fads over and over, just with different labels on, then perhaps you are open to looking deeper into what makes organizations function, fail, and flourish.

In the world today, especially the business side, it is very difficult to develop a team to the level that most of us may like and still be able to maintain the team's discipline and structure that will lead to high quality products. But with Nexus, you can solve these problems since it is a key framework for doing exactly that, even with huge teams. I am certain that you are going to get value from this book, as it will give you a comprehensive introduction to Nexus (Scaled Scrum).

Reviewed: 05-18-18
This book gives all credit to Ken Schwaber for scaled Scrum and Nexus. This makes the book looks as if it was written for Ken.
However if the Ken advertising was removed, the book is good and I should give it a score of 5.

I am not sure if I am a big fan of Teddy. The goal is to get inside the mind of Teddy. He was a self promoter (well a little bit). I got lots of lessons.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Story
The story is told by a young 'unknown soldier' in the trenches of Flanders during the First World War. Through his eyes we see all the realities of war: under fire, on patrol, waiting in the trenches, at home on leave, and in hospitals and dressing stations. Although there are vividly described incidents which remain in the mind, there is no sense of adventure here, only the feeling of youth betrayed and a deceptively simple indictment of war—of any war—told for a whole generation of victims.

Here are proven methods for building an online income stream. Maybe you dream of making money with an online business, but haven’t tried so far because you’d have to quit your current job and enter the risky world of Internet startups. Or because you think you need lots of capital and way too much time. If these reasons sound familiar, Dave Lindahl and Jon Rozek beg to differ.

Reviewed: 07-19-15
Overall the book was good as I got a lot of tips which I have already started to use. So the return on investment in purchasing was and is very high. I have one suggestion, the book is very drawn out and it could be easily 50% shorter.
