Nick Thacker: The Depths (Hardcover, 2014, Turtleshell Press) No rating

The depths is a well written thriller in adventure. From the very start this book takes you right into the action, and I loved it at each page turn. One of my favorite parts was the reference to Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, as I was born in that province.

If you like action with fantasy and fiction, I suggest putting this on your next to read list!

John G. Miller: QBQ! the Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability at Work and in Life 4 stars

The audio is amazing too!

5 stars

QBQ is the story of personal accountability. If you have the chance I highly recommend listening to this on audio. John Miller talks himself, and really brings his words and his story to life. My favorite story is when he is on a plane and someone next to him asks what he does for a living!

Mr Miller and I chatted once on twitter, it was the first time I had a conversation with one of my hero authors, it was awesome. He is a really nice, down to earth guy to talk with.

Stephen H. Segal: Geek Wisdom: The Sacred Teachings of Nerd Culture (2011) 4 stars

The book that started it all!

No rating

One day in early 2018, I was sitting at my office desk thinking about revising the name of my website, I had a strong desire to share some of the wisdom I had learned over the years, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Someone popped into my office with a question, and after I answered they thanked me and told me telling me that they appreciated my 'geek wisdom'. So I thought, that sounds like a cool website name, I wonder if anyone has that domain. I looked up geekwisdom.org and did some google searches and came across this book. A book of geeky quotes and deeper meanings, kind of which I thought of it myself. A really good read!

Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox: The Goal (2012, North River Press) 5 stars

Mr. Rogo, a plant manager, must improve his factory's efficiency or face its closing in …

An amazing resource! and excellent Story telling

5 stars

I first found the goal many years ago, so long in fact it was on a compact disc (CD) audio file. I loved the book and have been hooked on the Theory of Constraints ever since!
