This is a very good book on the structure and processes of a Product organization that incorporated Agile not only on a delivery level but on an overall organizational level. My personal highlight was the section about roadmaps and why (not) to use them and rather focusing on outcome. I also appreciate that in contrary to many other books on the topic, it also has a few chapters on transformational topics to create a switch.

The methodology is simple yet effective. However, the book feels unnecessary bloated and repeats itself multiple times. If you look up a blogpost on the GTD method, you will get the same information and value just like reading the book.

I learnt a lot about dealing with people from this book. Still, many principles were quite repetitive.

The book is very charming. It is about a girl who lives on a foreign planet and discovers it together with her friend. Together, they meet many interesting creatures. It is full of comedy and I had many good laughs.

In her book, Åsa Ekström, a Swedish Mangaka who relocated to Japan, shares her experiences learning about Japanese customs and etiquette from different teachers. Covering a range of topics, from chopstick etiquette to monetary gifting, this manga is an enjoyable and accessible read for learners of Japanese, thanks to the inclusion of Furigana throughout the panels. The author's own humorous anecdotes and revelations about certain lesser-known aspects of Japanese culture make for a lighthearted yet insightful read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of proper behavior in Japan.
