Bastian is 80% done with Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters
It all starts with a diagnosis. I love how the author focuses on defining the core problem(s) in order to tackle them with a strategy nucleus. Very practical!

Surprisingly good aphorisms. Hadn't expected that from a tech guy!

Looking forward to this antidote to the anachronistic understandings of toughness.

Bastian is starting Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
Ich erwarte keine neuen Erkenntnisse aber das scheint ja ein fast kritikloses Buch zum Thema zu sein. Das muss ich lesen 😀

Bastian is on page 50 of 409 of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
Ok… I couldn’t make it to page 21 the first time I started reading this book. I bought the hardcover book a few years ago and it‘d wrench my heart to through away an unread book (I tried to give it out for free but no one was interested). So I started reading this book again and you know what? I‘m on page 50 now! I learned something about lobsters 🦞 .

Bastian
Bastian is starting Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most
Up to now it‘s an average business/motivation book. I like the author‘s style and some of his hints.

Bastian
Bastian is on page 80 of 542 of Debt: The First 5,000 Years
WOW!! What a gem. The author shows why the mainstream narrative by economists on how money came to be is not only flawed but plain wrong (or not based by evidence). Highly recommended!

Bastian is on page 90 of 301 of Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age
A page-turner! There are so many great anecdotes in this book. As a late-80s born person there are so many things on the music-business side that finally make sense to me.

Bastian is on page 200 of 349 of Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love
A great book for organizations which want to transform to product-centric companies. You find your typical lean/startup-methods but all embedded into the broader context of enterprises.

Bastian is on page 80 of 448 of WTF?: What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us
I‘m very disappointed by the first 80 pages or so. This book could‘ve been written a few years ago. It reads like a summary of McAfees/Bryjnjolfssons work with a few sprinkles of Dormehl and Kelly :-(. I give the book another 2 hours...

Interesting so far but for me too "american".
