An exciting addition to this popular series, using flaps, quirky questions and Dan Taylor's delightful illustrations to reveal everything you wanted to know about poo - and a little bit more。 Starting with human sewage then moving on to animal poo, this surprisingly charming book explores what happens when we flush, what animal toilets look like, why animals don't need to flush and just how important poo is - for a myriad of fascinating (and sometimes yucky) reasons。

I really enjoyed this book! It's a mix between a business/life advice book, an autobiography, and a homage to Iwata, both as an influential figure in the video games world and as an individual。 I went into this book not really knowing who Satoru Iwata was, only knowing that he was one of the notable figures at Nintendo。 I didn't grow up playing a lot of Nintendo series classics like Mario, Zelda, or Kirby either, but I figured this would be an interesting read for me, as a person who enjoys vide I really enjoyed this book! It's a mix between a business/life advice book, an autobiography, and a homage to Iwata, both as an influential figure in the video games world and as an individual。 I went into this book not really knowing who Satoru Iwata was, only knowing that he was one of the notable figures at Nintendo。 I didn't grow up playing a lot of Nintendo series classics like Mario, Zelda, or Kirby either, but I figured this would be an interesting read for me, as a person who enjoys video games and is interested in game development。Fortunately, I was right! Many parts of this book touch on the contributions that Iwata made to the video games world, including consoles like the Nintendo DS and the Wii, both of which I grew up playing with。 Even for games I'm not really familiar with, such as Earthbound, it was still incredibly interesting to hear about the behind-the-scenes stories, how these games/consoles came to be, and what philosophies Iwata used to guide them through the development process。 Having said that, I definitely think die-hard Nintendo fans with a more in-depth knowledge of the company's history and its games would gain more from these sections than I did。Even more pleasantly surprising to me were the sections where Iwata discusses his business philosophy and how he drew upon the lessons he learned as a programmer to become a more effective business leader and communicator。 I'm not sure how clearly some of those parallels will come across to the average person, but as a computer science major I found the comparisons he made to be extremely insightful and a stark reminder of how experience in seemingly unrelated backgrounds can repurposed to offer fresh perspectives in other fields。Finally, it's impossible to come away from this book without the deep sense that Iwata was a truly remarkable person to have as a leader, a co-worker, and a friend。 His guiding ideology and the way he writes about his accomplishments reveal him to be a humble individual who genuinely believed in the value of teamwork, open and honest communication, and making space for other peoples' strengths。 I feel like I've come away from this book with a new, more positive approach to professional relationships with others。My main criticism would be the "Words of Wisdom" sections at the end of every chapter。 I assumed that they would be nice little bullet-point summations of the main ideas in each chapter, but they felt more like short snippets that the translator/editor couldn't manage to fit into the main text。 Most of them are related to the contents of the chapter, but some of them seemed a little random and made me think "Huh? Where did this come from?" or "What advice am I supposed to gain from this?"。 Nevertheless, they were fun to read。Favourite quote: "Talent basically involves the ability to find rewards。 In my view, talent isn't about achieving results so much as deriving pleasure from the results that you've achieved。 When somebody has tapped into their stores of talent, the cycle of discovery and reward is up and running。"I would definitely recommend this book as a quick enjoyable read for video game fans, especially Nintendo fans and those interested in game development。 **Thank you Viz Media and NetGalley for the free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This book was received as an ARC from VIZ Media LLC in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。I have been waiting for this book for over three decades。 Nintendo was huge in my family and my brother played almost all of the games including Super Mario, Tetris, Madden, and the Racing Games and we will never forget the release of Nintendo 64 and the parties we would throw to celebrate the release。 I love how Iwata broke down this book and This book was received as an ARC from VIZ Media LLC in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。I have been waiting for this book for over three decades。 Nintendo was huge in my family and my brother played almost all of the games including Super Mario, Tetris, Madden, and the Racing Games and we will never forget the release of Nintendo 64 and the parties we would throw to celebrate the release。 I love how Iwata broke down this book and the stories he told that provided descriptive content in not only how to succeed in the video game business but in any business especially do not let the demons in your head take over。 How he started the book was brilliant。 It says CEO on his business card, holds the job as a developer but he is a gamer at heart。 This book I know will do very well in our business and in our biography collection and will be a hit with our community。We will consider adding this title to our Business collection at our library。 That is why we give this book 5 stars。 。。。more

This book is simple and clear with a lot of lessons that cover the gamut of Satoru Iwata’s life as a game designer and president of HAL Laboratories and eventually Nintendo。 Even with this game-centric focus, it is more about lessons he learning in working with others and managing people。 It shows, in mostly his own words, why Iwata is still regarded with a great deal of respect even almost six years after his untimely death shook an entire industry。

A short business book filled with observations and philosophies of former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata。 This is definitely a book for those who love Nintendo, know a lot about its history and products, and want to get a high level look at how the sausage is made。 While I thought some of Iwata's work philosophies were interesting (especially being driven by a goal to help people have fun and his policy of 1 on 1 meetings with all staff over time) ultimately I didn't have enough depth of knowle A short business book filled with observations and philosophies of former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata。 This is definitely a book for those who love Nintendo, know a lot about its history and products, and want to get a high level look at how the sausage is made。 While I thought some of Iwata's work philosophies were interesting (especially being driven by a goal to help people have fun and his policy of 1 on 1 meetings with all staff over time) ultimately I didn't have enough depth of knowledge of Nintendo's products or history to understand why some decisions or ideas were momentous。*Thanks to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
