I had contributed a chapter ( Chapter 11) entitled, "The Circular Industrial Economy of Anthropocene and its Benefits to Society” to the book "Advanced Handbook of Performability Engineering" that was published by Springer in 2021. The book has been very well received by the scientific community as is evident from the statistics of chapters downloaded, read and cited till today. This is the successor of "Handbook of Performability Engineering" published by Springer in 2008.  If you are not familiar with concept of Performability Engineering, please have a look. It is common in India. #PerformabilityEngineering #Springer #book

Book 29, 2024 Hooked - Nir Eyal It is my firm belief that every occurrence has some science behind it. When we encounter something for the first time, we experience a sense of wonder and surprise but there always exists a scientific explanation to it. This book is a wonderful breakdown of why and how we get hooked onto new products, experiences. It is addressed towards business owners who wish to build habit forming products and experiences through a very simple scientific approach. It is a good study even for the consumer to understand their own experiences and behaviour, of why they get addicted to the newest viral thing. A very simple and insightful book aptly titled Hooked. I read it after reading Nir Eyal’s second book Indistractable, which talks about how to get Unhooked.

📖 Currently reading this amazing book! This is the book you must read to truly appreciate the world we live in and understand that change won’t happen through political slogans like ‘by 2030.’ What we need is knowledge, innovation, and a realistic perspective on modern society.

This weeks completed reading, How We Decide, was insightful. It discusses the brain’s role in processing information and weighing options, highlighting the influence of unconscious biases. Through case studies and scientific findings, this read demonstrates how understanding the brain’s mechanisms can lead to better decision-making strategies. Ultimately, the book advocates for a balanced approach that integrates both analytical thinking and intuition to make more informed choices. • Explores neuroscience and decision-making • Emphasizes the interplay between emotion and reason • Discusses the role of unconscious biases • Advocates for a balanced approach integrating analysis and intuition #realestate #business #commercialrealestate #investing #diversify #build #grow #challenge #results #service #professional #modesto #california #ca #stanislauscounty #centralvalley #reading #books

The top 3 most useful books for my PhD. Conceptualization (Manfredo), operacionalization (Vaske), application (Jacobson et al.) I was lucky that they were published in time! (2008)

Book Readings Update: Book 50 completed for 2024* > "𝗖𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲," by Stan Rose (2024) - non-fiction Why did I select this book to read? When this book hit my radar, it was available in Kindle version for 99 cents (and still is as of last check today). With limited reviews, it was highly rated, and sounded like a topic (genomics engineering) I know nothing about ... so an educational opportunity. What's it about? Stan Rose is a Ph.D. biologist, life sciences executive, and serial entrepreneur. He has created (and sold) a number of businesses related to DNA analysis and genomics. As fate would have it, he needed a kidney transplant, and the intersection of this health needs and career avocation intersected. This book is Stan Rose's memoir of his life and business experiences. My review: Hmmm. Parts of this book were quite educational and engaging, and other parts were "skimmable." I found myself getting a bit bored during the names, places, and details of some of the various entrepreneurial business ventures. But still a worthwhile read. My rating: 3.5 Amazon rating: 4.8 (105 ratings) Goodreads rating: 4.73 (11 ratings) Currently reading: > "𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲," by William Kent Krueger (1998) - fiction (~90% done) > "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱," by Jonathan Haidt (2012) - non-fiction (~70% done) > "𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀," by Mark Greaney (2021) - fiction (~65% done) > "𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵," by Lisette Brodey (2023) - fiction (~35% done) > "𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄," by Pedro Uria-Recio (2024) - non-fiction (just starting) *My goal for this year is 57 books. Remaining ahead of pace.

About to begin a new book to feed two of my key interests: science fiction and speculative thinking about the future of our biosphere. And a side-serving of espresso. With thanks to Joshua Stanley for the recommendation.
