  1. Psychonetics: a methodology to work with mind and perception

    Psychonetics is a methodology for accessing mental and perceptual resources in their basic forms, free from ideological bias. The conscious ability to access these resources in a predictable manner creates the potential for developing new technologies that leverage the unique properties of the human mind. Psychonetics can also assist in exploring deeper subjects, such as the mind, perception, and consciousness. This book provides an introduction to the history, principles, concepts, practices, and current applications of psychonetics. This book is also available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Psychonetics-methodology-work-mind-perception-ebook/dp/B0DR6H29V5/

    Time To Market
    Speeding things up for faster ROI
    Stephan Schmidt

    Everyone blames development for being slow. But what if the real bottleneck isn't your engineering team at all? After 25 years as an engineering manager and CTO, and 8 years coaching technology leaders through their biggest challenges, Stephan Schmidt has discovered an uncomfortable truth: you can squeeze out 10-20% by optimizing development, but you'll never reach the next level that way.  The real lever? Decisions. Meetings. The six months an idea bounces around before anyone writes a line of code.  This mini-book shows you how to measure and optimize the entire journey from idea to revenue—not just the coding part. You'll learn 10 practical rules to slash time to market, including how to build a decision culture that doesn't stall, why working in parallel actually slows you down, and how understanding MVP stages can free up development capacity.  Stop blaming your developers. Start fixing what actually matters.
