74 mini-reviews to help you find a great book to read next

Feeling lucky? Pick any number between 1 and 74, then scroll down and you’ve got your next read. — 1. Sum: Forty tales from the afterlives, by @davideagleman. 40 clever, funny, thought-provoking short stories on what life after death could look like. Loved the breadth of imagination. 2. How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky and @dziblatt. An excellent dissection of the mechanisms that turn democracies into autocracies. A chilling read in the wake of the Trump presidency.

2020 — die ersten Male

Viel Pandemietribut, eine sprachlich verwirrte Tochter und ein reichlich bescheidenes Abenteuer — ein Blick zurück auf das vergangene Jahr anhand von Dingen, die ich zum ersten Mal getan oder erlebt habe. — 👉 Alle bisherigen ersten Male, 2015–2019 Ach, 2020. Das waren dann doch recht viele erste Male, auf die ich gerne verzichtet hätte. Zum ersten Mal eine Pandemie erlebt. Zum ersten Mal mit Maske durch den Alltag gegangen. Zum ersten Mal in der Schweiz im Supermarkt vor leeren Regalen gestanden. Zum…

2019 — die ersten Male

100% Hausmann gewesen, einen Halbmarathon gelaufen und mehr Bücher gehört als gelesen– ein Blick zurück auf das vergangene Jahr anhand von Dingen, die ich zum ersten Mal getan oder erlebt habe. — Frühere erste Male: 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 Ich wurde zum ersten Mal Papa genannt. ❤️ Ich war zum ersten Mal zu 100% Hausmann, zwei Monate lang. Im Januar und Februar habe ich unbezahlten Urlaub genommen (yay, Schweiz!) und mich um unsere dann sechs Monate alte Tochter gekümmert…

On the importance of reducing organisational debt — and how we did it

One of the aspects that makes working on digital transformation so challenging (but also interesting) is that you have to try many things in order to get some things right. You inevitably try and build things that don’t work (or at least not as well) as intended. And that is…

2018 — die ersten Male

Durch New York gejoggt, geblitzt worden und von nun an Vater – ein Blick zurück auf das vergangene Jahr anhand von Dingen, die ich zum ersten Mal getan oder erlebt habe. — Frühere erste Male: 2015 | 2016 | 2017 Ich bin Vater geworden. Alles andere wirkt klein dagegen. Natürlich bringt das Vater Werden und Vater Sein unzählbar viele erste Male mit sich. Was mich am meisten beschäftigt: Zum ersten Mal ist jeder Gedanke an die Zukunft mit einer ganz konkreten Verantwortung…
