Zero to One For people from the world of (IT) entrepreneurship, this man is no stranger. Peter Thiel, originally from Germany, is a well-known entrepreneur and investor. This billionaire is one of the founders of “PayPal” (online payment and money transfer system), “Palantir” (big data analytics) and “Founders Fund” (investing in startup companies… their portfolio…
Goldfinger “Shaken, not stirred” James Bond If “Dr. No” introduced us to James Bond’s adventures, and “From Russia with Love” made it clear to us that J.B. is a serious player and that the film industry should pay close attention to this (then) new golden goose, “Goldfinger” set some standards and guidelines that future…
Goodbye Somehow the novel “Goodbye” has quite an appropriate title for the first (reviewed) novel for 2021… a nice, subtle and cultured farewell sentence for 2020 (though we surely said goodbye to it much worse in our thoughts :D). And that’s where my comments about 2020 will remain… The novel “Goodbye” by Živojin Petrović was…
From Russia with Love Ahhhhhh, “From Russia with Love”… now things are getting more interesting. This is one of my favorite films, not just when it comes to J.B.’s adventures, but generally. As for the ranking of James Bond films, this film is in my “top 5,” and maybe even in “top 3″… and it’s…
Atomic Habits – Why Small Changes Make a Big Difference On one occasion (this year) I subjected myself to a kind of “test.” And that was not eating refined sugar, i.e., sweets, for a month. My motive was to prove to some people (i.e., clients) that it’s absolutely doable… and it was… and it wasn’t…
Dr.No Writing about James Bond outside the context of films would be a pretty thankless job (or rather would require a special text). So I wouldn’t want to waste much space here. I don’t believe anyone expected that the film “Dr. No,” which even for that era (the sixties) was made quite cheaply, would spawn…
12 Rules for Life – Jordan Peterson without a filter In my work with people, I occasionally encounter those who often aren’t convinced by what I can tell/point out/explain/ask them. You can see they simply think “it’s not that I don’t believe you, but you’re not (yet) some authority in the field of working with…
American Gods Next year it will be exactly 20 years since Neil Gaiman’s American Gods first appeared, a book that very quickly became an instant classic. It swept up every major award you can sweep up in the realms of sci-fi and fantasy (Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Bram Stoker…), and it’s been showered with top ratings…
Convenience Store Woman Uh, you don’t exactly feel indifferent when you finish the novella Convenience Store Woman… you’re not even sure how to position yourself toward the main character. Do you like her, is she endearing, problematic, do you pity her or try to understand her… but that’s precisely the point of this book, and…
Chicken Soup for the Soul In ancient times, inspiring and heartwarming stories were rare and traveled slowly. You’d hear them from reliable sources (or at least you believed they were reliable). You’d find them in books, and your heart would fill with optimistic energy; you’d regain some faith that the world wasn’t completely doomed. Honestly,…
