This is the second time someone has recommended this book on HN so for sure it can't be a bad read. I will be starting it tonight

[michaelsbradley]

The book may be a good read or bad one, I am unfamiliar with it. However, terrible recommendations are made on HN all the time, as well good ones, so I’d caution against “recommended a few times on HN” (on its own!) as an indicator of much anything.

EDIT: changed wording from “multiple times” to “a few times” to be more clear.

It may be an indicator of popularity / mindshare of certain ideas. It says little about the ideas' substance, but may still be very important in practice, if you deal with people.
