Pragmatic Bookshelf Thinking and Learning

Este libro está dirigido a personas que aún no son autodidactas, pero quieren serlo. Si tú ya lo eres, son pocas las cosas interesantes que encontrarás. En mi caso, solamente fue el sub-tema "Modelo de aprendizaje de Dreyfus", el cual podrás encontrar en la Wikipedia. Fuera de ello no obtuve información nueva.

shipment was in time and with out a scratch.

Gli americani hanno una specie di ossessione per l'efficienza e la produttività personale. E di conseguenza per l'ingegnerizzazione di abitudini e comportamenti che permettano di aumentare la propria capacità pratica di realizzare le cose e di non sprecare neanche un minuto di tempo. Il libro è una collezione di cose più o meno note sull'argomento con la pretesa di costruire una specie di teoria.

I was recommended this book by a lecturer in a programming class. After looking through the reviews I was disappointed by review comments claiming that the book focused on the outdated Left and Right side brain model. After actually reading the book, I was please to find that it DID NOT continue the fallacy of this idea. Instead, It used reference to L-mode and R-mode, which are distinctly different from left and right side theory. L-mode and R-mode are refereed to as different forms of thinking performed by the brain, but instead of being said to be located on the left/right side of the brain, they are said to both occur throughout the brain.Now that I have that portion off my chest, I will discus the book as a whole. The authors give a huge amount of tips and advice for improving our thinking. Much of the book is focused on coxing the L-mode (creative) part of our thinking to come forward. All the advice is objective, with a huge amount of source references. It is plainly stated by the authors that not all of the tips/advice will be useful to all users, but instead suggest that you try as many as you can and use those that have positive results.I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in become more objective and valid in their thinking. Since reading the book, I feel I am able to incorporate new knowledge much easier. I can also recall information with increased ease. The principles covered in this book can be applied to all thinking and learning, but the information in the book is given largely through computer/programming analogy. This may cause it to be harder to understand for those unfamiliar with these topics.

For the last twenty years, I have been very much a classic data driven engineer. I made a decision six month's ago to change my career and try to harness the creativity, I know that I have deep down within me.Well, this book opened my eyes to a completely different style of thinking...I now begin to understand, where the creative power within Google, Apple and the like comes from.Up until now, I could not see the connection between a bean bag or table tennis table in the office and the creative process.The book explains: - the process from moving from Novice to Expert - How to begin to harness the power of the creative side of the brain - How to 'really' read and learn from books - Along with numerous exercises and tipsI am busy starting out, trying to find out how I can build "morning pages" and other exercises into my hectic morning routine.Don't be put off by "Pragmatic Programmers", there is an awful lot of useful stuff for anyone seeking to "refactor", upgrade, re-configure or even CHANGE the way go about things through enhancing their creative side.An excellent, useful and most of all readable book.
