I liked the parts that talked about actual rocket science and team problem solving more than about individual heads of companies, particularly worker-unfriendly companies such as Amazon and Tesla. This is likely a personal view more than the book‘s fault, so your mileage may vary.

I finished Think Like A Rocket Scientist a few days ago but forgot to review it.
I found myself underlining, starring, & notating so much! Varol provides realistic strategies & advice on how to reframe your thinking to obtain different outcomes. He uses examples from numerous industries, not just rocket science.
One of the best nonfiction help books I‘ve ever read. This will definitely be a book I go back to.
And my first Aug #bookspin bingo!
“When we prefer the seeming stability of stories to the messy reality of uncertainty, facts become dispensable and misinformation thrives. Fake news is not a modern phenomenon.”
Only 26 pages in and already underlining and take notes.
#Ispy a book with a light blue cover that @julesG tasked me to find.
And #Ispy a book with a purple cover that @IamIamIam tasked me to find.
Now I challenge @SumisBooks @LibrarianRyan @Klou @RachelO @Crazeedi (and anyone else who wants to play) to find a book with an orange cover.
I won an ARC from Goodreads! Will be starting this after I finish Elton John‘s Me. 😀
