Back to Weinberg
Thursday, September 12, 2002

I read the first few chapters of The Secrets of Consulting today. It's good to be reading Weinberg again. His style is very different from most of the other books I have read in the last year; the variety is good. The foreword of the book was written by the renowned family therapist, Virginia Satir. I have always enjoyed reading Satir, though I didn't focus on her in graduate school. Her influence on Weinberg does not inspire me to read more Satir, but to read more about narrative therapy. I want to see how narrative therapy can influence my approach to software development, just as Satir influenced Weinberg.

A fitting quote from chapter 3 for yesterday's tragic anniversary:

"Each of us, after all, is the direct descendant of innumerable unbroken lines of survivors."
