Think Like An Engineer: Inside the Minds that are Changing our Lives

I found this book helpful for my trading actually. Some of the mental models can be applied to many disciplines and understanding engineering is understanding a lot about the modern world.

Well written with good examples that don’t simply create an engaging narrative, but integrate with summaries of what the most thoughtful and considered engineer’s have distilled regarding what it is that makes for a good engineering mind. Some fairly lengthy idiosyncratic sections that dilute the main thread.

interesting but not compelling

Featured on BBC Radio 4 on More or Less, in a BA airline magazine, and an LSE lecture - Mr Madhavan provides an insightful view into the world of the engineering mindset. Further than our image of NASA engineers with pocket protectors, this is a book that changes this perception with a collection of delightful anecdotes and stories. We only think of engineers when things go wrong - time to have a better understanding of the role of engineers in the world around us.

Brilliant book, fast delivery.

“Used - Very Good”Since when is this considered “very good”? Came with this book mark as well?I wouldn’t mind if it was for me to read, but it was meant to be a present. Ridiculous.

More engineer and personality orientated than engineering. Beautifully written, but, I was continually thinking, 'C'mon, man. Get to thinking like an engineer.' Too much time spend in chatting about India, and the Ganga - the river Ganges. Really not an engineering book. Title very misleading.

Brilliant book.
