A simple idea and not too much pooha around it. Simple enough for everyone to understand, yet interesting enough for economics minded people.

Erwin Rossen reviewed The little book that still beats the market by Joel Greenblatt (Little book, big profits)
Review of 'Homo Deus - A Brief History of Tomorrow' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Interesting follow up on Sapiens. It has the same style where the author surprises you not so much with new facts, but with the way he looks at them and connects them. I think the last part about dataism is not backed up by arguments, but more a free philosophical thinking.
Erwin Rossen reviewed The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Review of 'The Power of Now' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book was really helpful for me, and I am listening to it over and over again. I think the words he is speaking are very wise, and they inspire me. I do see however how they can annoy other people, since it does sound condescending from time to time. I just let that slip and not touch me personally. Read this book when you are ready for it. When you're not ready for it, put it away, and take it back two years later.
Erwin Rossen reviewed Waking Up by Sam Harris
Review of 'Waking Up' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This narrative is the perfect approach to spirituality, using the scientific approach of direct experience. However, this also makes it more difficult to grasp. I have to listen to it again to fully appreciate it. He talks too fast, bit luckily Audible has an option to reduce the playing speed.
Review of 'Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I like the scientific rigor the author is using to back up his claims. The story is written so well, that this back and forth carefulness is actually adding to the story, instead of reducing it or making it boring.

Erwin Rossen reviewed Spell or High Water by Scott Meyer (Magic 2.0)
Review of 'Spell or High Water' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Where in the first book, the author introduces a novel and paradox free way if time traveling, he breaks his own rules here. Super frustrating! The rest of the book is decent.

Erwin Rossen reviewed Effective Python by Brett Slatkin (Effective Software Development Series)
Review of 'Effective Python' on 'Goodreads'

Good snack book to catch up with and improve your Python skill. I especially liked that the author is explaining everything with minimalist but complete examples to illustrate his points.
