Simple Programmer, LLC Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual

It made me change alot of my way of thinking

Me parece un libro estupendo. Te puedes leer los capítulos en el orden que quieras y te inserta en cosas de la vida muy útiles, que te pueden hacer mejor persona.

That's what I am looking for

John Sonmez is a multi-talented superhuman if I’ve ever seen one. From socials skills to finance to tech to marketing to fitness, he not only covers all of those topics but has achieved excellence in them himself. I rarely say this about someone: if all humans were half as capable as John, we’d be living in a different world. With all that said, it’s a great book and serves as a “how-to” for many aspects of life. It’s even meta enough to talk about the process of writing the book itself. I’m not aware of any other books that cover so much ground, so concisely. Buy it.

When you read the chapter title you know everything that will be said in it, no developpement just obvious advices, facts and promotionfor the author website/product.Also the book is too big and heavy for what it contains.

There were some bits of useful information in this book, but overall it was mostly fairly basic, sometimes even common sense, advice. If you're totally green and young, then this is probably a worthwhile read, but if you've been in the industry or lived life for a time, you'd be better off spending your time reading another book that is more in depth.Some of the advice and writing did offer value such as some specific tools the author uses for automating tasks and concrete examples of how to dodge questions in a salary negotiation to your advantage. There was also some value in the last chapters on fitness with concrete examples of dieting and fasting methods that the author has used successfully. The last several chapters were the most valuable for me.Outside of a few of those tips, the book had mostly generic advice that wasn't very insightful, but good advice to be sure. For example in the Financial related chapter, he says things like - "make the most profitable investments you can." Thanks for the tip? There are more than a few self evident pieces of advice like that throughout the book that kind of leave you feeling a bit disappointed.At the end of the day it does what a lot of good self help books do, which is to get the gears in your mind going and inspire you with success stories.
