"Trehundrede og firs dage har jeg været her, det ved jeg, for jeg ridser streger i væggen til venstre for min madras. Jeg har to værelser og en væg med billeder af dem, jeg holder af. Jeg har en væg med billeder af dem, jeg har forladt. Jeg pakkede tyve kilo og ringede efter en vogn, da jeg mødte en gammel ven, der havde mødt dig. Han var egentlig gået forbi, men dvælede alligevel ved butiksdekorationer ved Illum og fulgte dig med øjnene ned ad Købmagergade. Han kunne ikke genkende dig, det sagde han, han holdt i min arm, og han talte stille: ”Sorgen har sat sig i hendes ansigt.”]]> 90 Maria Gerhardt 8740036537 Camilla 4 4.04

Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are "Littlepeople" �� beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw.

"Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life �� whether it's a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind.

And the "Maze" is where you look for what you want �� the organisation you work in or the family or community you live in.

In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the Maze walls.

When you come to see "The Handwriting on the Wall," you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life.

Written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime.]]> 98 Spencer Johnson 0091883768 Camilla 1 3.88 1999

In this how-to companion to Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, Steve Krug spells out an approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own web site, application, or other product. (As he said in Don't Make Me Think, "It's not rocket surgery".)

In this new book, Steve explains how to:

-Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning web site or application
-Keep your focus on finding the most important problems (because no one has the time or resources to fix them all)
-Fix the problems that you find, using his "The least you can do" approach

By pairing the process of testing and fixing products down to its essentials (A morning a month, that's all we ask ), Rocket Surgery makes it realistic for teams to test early and often, catching problems while it's still easy to fix them. Rocket Surgery Made Easy adds demonstration videos to the proven mix of clear writing, before-and-after examples, witty illustrations, and practical advice that made Don't Make Me Think so popular.]]> 161 Steve Krug 0321657292 Camilla 0 to-read 4.13 2009

]]> 134567 Reassembling the Social is a fundamental challenge from one of the world's leading social theorists to how we understand society and the "social". Bruno Latour's contention is that the word "social" as used by Social Scientists has become laden with assumptions to the point where it has become a misnomer. When the adjective is applied to a phenomenon, it is used to indicate a stabilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that in due course may be used to account for another phenomenon. Latour also finds the word used as if it described a type of material, in a comparable way to an adjective such as "wooden" or "steely".

Rather than simply indicating what is already assembled together, it is now used in a way that makes assumptions about the nature of what is assembled. It has become a word that designates two distinct things: a process of assembling: and a type of material, distinct from others. Latour shows why "the social" cannot be thought of as a kind of material or domain, and disputes attempts to provide a "social explanation" of other states of affairs. While these attempts have been productive (and probably necessary) in the past, the very success of the social sciences mean that they are largely no longer so. At the present stage it is no longer possible to inspect the precise constituents entering the social domain. Latour returns to the original meaning of "the social" to redefine the notion and allow it to trace connections again. It will then be possible to resume the traditional goal of the social sciences, but using more refined tools. Drawing on his extensive work examining the "assemblages" of nature, Latour finds it necessary to scrutinize thoroughly the exact content of what is assembled under the umbrella of Society. This approach, a "sociology of associations" has become known as Actor-Network-Theory, and this book is an essential introduction both for those seeking to understand Actor-Network-Theory, or the ideas of one of its most influential proponents.]]> 301 Bruno Latour 0199256047 Camilla 3 3.96 2005

]]> 11468377 Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities—and also the faults and biases—of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions.

Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you think about thinking.]]> 499 Daniel Kahneman 0374275637 Camilla 0 currently-reading 4.17 2011

Hans påstand er, at langt de fleste mennesker kan blive gode investorer. Det kræver ikke magiske evner, medfødt talent eller held. Du skal til gengæld være klar til at investere din tid i den økonomiske og fornuftige tankegang �� og dernæst nogle af dine penge i virksomheder frem for at bruge dem her og nu.

Bogen vil give dig forudsætningerne for at blive en god og dermed økonomisk uafhængig investor. Den vil lære dig, hvordan aktiemarkedet fungerer, og den vil lære dig den afgørende forskel på at være investor og spekulant. Undervejs lærer du om gode tilbud, om risiko, om faren ved wow-effekt, markedshysteri og troen på hurtige gevinster. Du skal have din indre købmand frem, ikke din indre gambler. Men så er der også penge at tjene.

Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, "The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!" or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why?
In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn't mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That's what this book is about.
As creators of Google Ventures' renowned "design sprint," Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize their energy, focus, and time. Now they've packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles.
Make Time isn't about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. Making time isn't about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it's about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction.
A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day..., Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.]]> 287 Jake Knapp 0525572422 Camilla 4 4.05 2018

Why does recalling the Ten Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn't possibly be caught?

Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup?

Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full?

And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar?

When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're in control. We think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we?

In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities.

Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same "types" of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable--making us "predictably" irrational.

From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, Ariely explains how to break through these systematic patterns of thought to make better decisions. "Predictably Irrational" will change the way we interact with the world--one small decision at a time.]]> 247 Dan Ariely Camilla 0 to-read 4.12 2008

Why do some products capture widespread attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of sheer habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us?
Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) by explaining the Hook Model—a four-step process embedded into the products of many successful companies to subtly encourage customer behavior. Through consecutive “hook cycles,�� these products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.


Hooked is based on Eyal’s years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he wished had been available to him as a start-up founder—not abstract theory, but a how-to guide for building better products. Hooked is written for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anyone who seeks to understand how products influence our behavior.


Eyal provides readers with:


�� Practical insights to create user habits that stick.
�� Actionable steps for building products people love.

�� Fascinating examples from the iPhone to Twitter, Pinterest to the Bible App, and many other habit-forming products.]]> 256 Nir Eyal 1591847788 Camilla 0 to-read 4.12 2013

]]> 69242 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The instant classic about why some ideas thrive, why others die, and how to improve your idea's chances--essential reading in the "fake news" era.

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus news stories circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas--entrepreneurs, teachers, politicians, and journalists--struggle to make them "stick."

In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the human scale principle, using the Velcro Theory of Memory, and creating curiosity gaps. Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds--from the infamous "kidney theft ring" hoax to a coach's lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony--draw their power from the same six traits.

Made to Stick will transform the way you communicate. It's a fast-paced tour of success stories (and failures): the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who drank a glass of bacteria to prove a point about stomach ulcers; the charities who make use of the Mother Teresa Effect; the elementary-school teacher whose simulation actually prevented racial prejudice.

Provocative, eye-opening, and often surprisingly funny, Made to Stick shows us the vital principles of winning ideas--and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.]]> 291 Chip Heath 1400064287 Camilla 0 to-read 3.98 2006

Frmesks farmor insisterer på, at hun bliver omskåret med det samme, men Frmesks mor frygter, at hun er for lille og svag til at kunne overleve indgrebet. Endnu mere frygter hun sin mand og truslen om, at han vil skaffe den lille af vejen. Da hans voldelige adfærd intensiveres, er hendes eneste udvej at sætte barnet i pleje hos sine egne forældre.

Frmesks mormor er dødevasker. Hun tager sig af de kvinder, som ingen andre vil begrave - kvinder dræbt i vanære og skam. Frmesks morfar er pensioneret oberst, og til forskel fra sin kone læser han ikke kun i Koranen, men besidder et mangfoldigt bibliotek. Det er et kærligt hjem, som dog kun for en tid er i stand til at skærme Frmesk mod den fysiske og psykiske overlast, der ubønhørligt nærmer sig fra alle sider i et Kurdistan præget af krig, folkedrab og had.

Da Mortens forældre bliver skilt starter en kædereaktion af svigt, der vender op og ned på alt, og langsomt identificerer den stille og nørdede dreng sig mere og mere med sine indvandrervenner og deres had og vrede mod samfundet og ikke mindst sig selv.

Planen er en coming-of-age-fortælling om at være barn, vokse op, blive forelsket og forsøge at finde sig selv i et betændt multikulturelt mikrokosmos, som de færreste undslipper eller kender til. Samtidig er Planen en historisk roman om de menneskelige omkostninger ved 90’ernes fejlslagne integration og 00’ernes fjendtlige indvandrerdebat, der kulminerede med profet-karikaturer, bandekrig og en hovedstad, der blev sat i flammer.]]> 568 Morten Pape 8740026701 Camilla 3 4.34 2015

Så godt skrevet! Papes sprog og beskrivelser sender mig direkte ind i scenerne, som var jeg der selv. Jeg synes dog, bogen er lidt lang og kunne være skåret mere ned uden at det ville gøre noget ved helheden.

The startups that Google Ventures invest in face big questions every day: Where’s the most important place to focus your effort, and how do you start? What will your ideas look like in real life? How many meetings and discussions does it take before you can be sure you have the right solution to a problem? Business owners and investors want their companies and the people who lead them to be equipped to answer these questions—and quickly. And now there’s a sure-fire way to solve their problems and test solutions: the sprint.

While working at Google, designer Jake Knapp created a unique problem-solving method that he coined a “design sprint”—a five-day process to help companies answer crucial questions. His ‘sprints�� were used on everything from Google Search to Chrome to Google X. When he moved to Google Ventures, he joined Braden Kowitz and John Zeratsky, both designers and partners there who worked on products like YouTube and Gmail. Together Knapp, Zeratsky, and Kowitz have run over 100 sprints with their portfolio companies. They’ve seen firsthand how sprints can overcome challenges in all kinds of companies: healthcare, fitness, finance, retailers, and more.

A practical guide to answering business questions, Sprint is a book for groups of any size, from small startups to Fortune 100s, from teachers to non-profits. It’s for anyone with a big opportunity, problem, or idea who needs to get answers today.]]> 274 Jake Knapp Camilla 4 4.18 2016

Very practical! Love the down-to-earth writing. However, the monday tasks were not all clear to me, in terms of how to go from problem and goal to solution thinking. But very nice book with funny drawings and explanations. Thanks!
