Amazing Person

This is a true testament of the individual. I've recognized the name Booker T. Washington as the name is seen in passing in history text books, but they give no inclination of who he actually was. If I remember correctly, he is made out to be a black person who supported segregation. Although he does use the phrase "socially separate" in one of his included speeches; I think; this may have been a concession to move forward without conflict. Either way, there is so much more to him than one political idea, and the fact a history textbook seems to give as much focus to him as the term carpet bagger is given is a travesty.

I think; the author is right. He did a very good job making his point, and I liked his explanations.

I enjoyed how the author told his story. It did start a little slow, but it didn't take long for the adventures to begin.

I loved this book. The author does a great job investigating what it means to live in Denmark. The information is presented in clear and entertaining manner. The narration is excellent as well.

Good Book

This book provides a broad look at what Jack Welch did at GE. It includes some the rationale for his decisions and an explanation of what that included, but really doesn't go much deeper than that.

5S?

Reviewed: 12-11-17

A brief overview.

The 5S comes from Japan in which the words all start with the letter S. With a bit of effort they also start with the letter S in English.

Enough of the that; lean manufacturing; eliminate waste; workers fear change; convince them to change; lay them off when they are no longer needed as a result of their and their co-workers willingness to accept change. Having problems hire us to consult. Buy LED boards as they automatically lead to desirous outcome when the correct numbers are posted on them. Eliminate waste; lean manufacturing; six sigma can help to. If you are not going to hire us, at least hire someone. In conclusion we can help you understand the vague techniques in this book as well as convince your employees to trust you, so you can betray them. Here is our web address; hire us.

The book does actually have some decent information, but it tends to be pretty vague and is mostly about selling consultancy, in my opinion.

Good Concentration of Material

Reviewed: 12-05-17

The authors do a great job writing for their singular purpose. The ideas are clearly presented followed by an anecdote and/or any other veryifying information and implementation suggestions. A lot of this information including some of the stories; I've heard in other books. However, the authors do a great job with it and provide additional details. I would highly recommend this book for anyone trying to perform at their best. I am far from mine, but this book makes it appear a lot closer. Narration is good too.

Great Book

it was interesting to perceive the differences in the book and the movie. The movie is really close, but there is definitely more information in the book. Very heart wrenching at the end.

Entertaining book ... leans left

Reviewed: 12-01-17

The author does a good job explaining correlation as observed in data science, but I think; some of his assumptions go to far. One such assumption is that marijuana use appears to be higher at night as well as profound queries. The author states this in a way that would lead you to believe that marijuana provokes profound queries, but it seems more likely that both users are up at two in the morning and are looking for an outlet. Also the author mentions Marx as a figure to be considered aspirational. He should probably scrounge up some data related to communism and death. Maybe not focus as much on the seemingly obvious fact that racist would vote for a white egomaniacal man. The author did have some good data examples though, and I did find the book entertaining and stimulating.

Good Book one wrong fact

Reviewed: 11-26-17

Very inspiring story. The author clearly intends this for a female audience, but I found it very relatable in a lot of ways. The author also offers up some practical advice near the end most of it appears to be correct. However, the author states glucose can not be made from your fat and that is incorrect. During lipolysis your fat is turned into fatty acids and glycerol. The body then can break glycerol down into glucose. Your body may break down protein for glucose before fat at times, but it would probably be because of high resting insulin level.
