The 12-Week Year or How to Take 208 Pages to Say Sth Simple
The book is about the 12-Week Year technique, which is basically about achieving more in less time. The thing that I don't like about the book is that it takes too long to explain this method. It could have been at most 50 pages.
Every chapter consists of an individual approach, a team approach, and pitfalls related to them. However, many chapters feel repetitive, offering nothing new. This made the book unnecessarily long and difficult to stay engaged with.
That being said, the core concept is actually useful. If applied correctly—especially when combined with time blocking—the 12-Week Year method can help improve focus and productivity. I’ve personally tried it, and when structured properly, it really works. The issue is that the book stretches a simple yet effective idea over too many pages.
Instead of reading a uselessly long book, I would prefer to watch a YouTube video that summarizes the key points more effectively.
Before You Judge me, make sure You are Perfect!Psikoloji
Imagine a world where a patient goes to a clinic and gets prescribed highly addictive opioids because it is the end of the doctor’s long day – or that different sentences are given to people who committed the same crimes because one judge hasn’t had lunch yet.
These are some of the many real-world examples of “noise” that are mentioned in Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment by renowned psychologist and winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences Daniel Kahneman. Noise is the follow-up to his previous book Thinking, Fast and Slow, released in 2011, which brought attention to his work on how cognitive biases shape judgment. In Noise, Kahneman and his co-authors, Oliver Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein, explore the other type of error impacting our judgments: noise.
The book follows the premise that “wherever there is judgment, there is noise – and more of it than you think”. If noise is so prevalent, why is it not widely spoken about? Kahneman notes that noise can only be identified in statistics, making it more difficult to track, which means it tends to go unnoticed and unmentioned.
Noise is broken up into six parts. It begins with the difference between noise (random scatter) and bias (systematic deviations), the nature of human judgment and how to measure accuracy and error. It also goes into predictive judgment, human psychology and the causes of noise, how to improve judgments and prevent error, and what is the right level of noise.
Who knew that important decisions could be swayed by seemingly redundant factors? Such as who spoke first in the meeting, what day of the week it is or whether the local football team won last night’s match. Many different types of noise are discussed in the book, but the most significant one, Kahneman says, is system noise. System

I enjoyed reading it. There is no complicated plot so I was able to read it easily.
At the beginning of the book, I compared Mary to Heidi. Even though I thought they were very similar to each other, there were also many points that were different from Heidi.
