Slika vredi više nego hiljadu reči. Ali ima toga još što nismo znali. Na sajtu firme Cisco se može videti jedna studija o tome kako ljudi najbolje uče. Izgleda da je čitanje najmanje efikasan metod, pokazuje ova studija...

Stigle knjige sa Amazon.com

Maločas su mi stigle knjige:

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely



Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School by John Medina



Poručio sam ih u utorak, 01. aprila, isporučene su odmah sutradan, 02. aprila - a na moju adresu su stigle danas oko 12 sati. Dakle, bilo je potrebno 17 dana da mi stignu. To je nešto duže nego da sam poručio na amazon.co.uk. Ali, uštedeo sam 14.04 eura, taman za još jednu hardcover knjigu. Nije loša ušteda:) Kada mi se ne žuri onda ću poručivati na amazon.com, a ako želim da mi stigne u roku od 3 do 14 dana, onda ču poručiti na amazon.co.uk. Ovo od 3 dana nije šala. Pre nekoliko meseci sam dve knjige poručio u ponedeljak, a dobio sam ih u četvrtak. Kako li su samo uspeli!!!

Zašto se isplati učiti matematiku

"Imate li široko matematičko znanje, a usto ste komunikativni i uvjerljivi, po prodaji vam nitko neće biti ravan. Po prihodima, tek mali dio zaposlenika."

Evo kratkog članka o tome.

Stiglo jutros...

Rješenje za 86 posto: kako uspeti s najvećom tržišnom prilikom u idućih 50 godina by Vijay Mahajan, Kamini Banga

ili englesko izdanje na Amazonu

U knjizi piše da svega 14% svetskog stanovništva živi u zemljama sa bruto društvenim dohotkom preko 10.000 dolara po glavi stanovnika. Ostatak sveta, dakle 86%, ima bruto društveni dohodak ispod 10.000 dolara. To je prilika koja ne sme da se propusti.

Ova knjiga je dobila nagradu Berry-AMA Book Prize za najbolju knjigu iz marketinga za 2007. godinu.

Planiram da je čitam za nekoliko dana, kada budem završio sa knjigom The Art of Innovation: Lessons in Creativity from IDEO, America's Leading Design Firm

Da li poručiti na Amazon.co.uk ili Amazon.com?

Evo konkretne analize za dve knjige koje ću danas poručiti:



Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely
Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School by John Medina



Dakle, jeftinije je za 14.04 EURa ako poručim na Amazon.com. To sam upravo sada i uradio. Ostaje da vidim rok isporuke. Danas je 1. april, kada sam poručio. U mojoj porudžbini (amazon.com) piše da bi trebalo da mi stigne na adresu u periodu od 15. aprila do 22. maja. Obično (na amazon.co.uk), rok isporuke je gotovo uvek bio bliži prvom nego poslednjem datumu. Nadam se da će tako i sada biti.
