Looking forward to the next chapter on logic programming. Greatly enjoyed the chapter on optimisation

The Joy of Clojure

Andrew is 11% done with To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others
Having trouble after the first 2 chapters. The 2 main problems for me: the egocentric position that being involved in negotiation is about influencing the other; the argument affects surprise that we would find more people involved in sales for more of the time if we change the definition of sales. Taken together, I feel worried what happens when we recast collaboration, negotiation, rhetoric to sales

Off to a bad start: redefines dashes to mean persuasion, and then expresses surprise that this new definition includes many more of us; and reduces the many sources of negotiation and collaboration to the egocentric view of convincing the other

I got a lot out of Chapter 3 as a demonstration of how experiment is theory-driven. I was interesting to relate this to my brief reading of an article on constructive empiricism
