Practical, Simple, Powerful
Revisado: 03-28-23
I’ve read a lot of self help books. And this has been one of the most powerful. That is because it is practical and simple. Many self-help books get lost in wordy and long explanations. This book knows what it wants to say, and says it succinctly. That makes it easier to digest and put in the practice. Highly recommend this book.

Historia
Dr Jekyll, a charming doctor explores the possibility of dividing the dark and light side of her personality, but in doing this she creates a monster, Eleanor Hyde. For many years she manages to live under the radar, keeping her dark secret unknown to those around her. However, gradually her evil side gains strength until Dr Jekyll is overwhelmed by Eleanor Hyde, to disastrous consequences. An exploration of human duality and forces of good and evil, this modern retelling is compelling and eerie and retains the disturbing nature of the original text.

Historia
James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.

Surprised
Revisado: 01-06-23
This book was surprisingly great. I thought it was just going to be a short mediocre listen in between my other books. I was engrossed in this story. It was told perfectly always making you want to know more keep listening. I also love his way of showing us the way natives of Alaska live and their relationship with the American colonizers. He explained some of the injustices without sounding bitter or hopeless. It was beautiful to learn about these people I know so little about except for what you see in sled dog movies. James Dommek Jr. lives up to his heritage of family story tellers.

Historia
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology.

Good but long
Revisado: 08-09-19
I really enjoyed the content of this book. The reason it didn’t get 5 stars though is because it was just too long. At times it felt like I was listening to a text because of the amount of detail provided. It made it hard to get through sometimes. I wish there was an abridged version that was about half as long. That would have been a MUCH easier listen and just as interesting for the amateur just curious to learn a little more about the iconic figure. Other than length though, it was well written in chronological order and well narrated.

Beginning, middle, ending
Revisado: 04-16-19
The book began with an engaging intro but the majority of the filler and middle of the book could have been removed altogether. I wanted to hear how music worked, not an autobiography of Byrne’s musical career which it felt like the majority of time. It redeemed itself the final quarter of the book though starting with chapter 9, and is why it earned its 4 star rating. It was fascinating how music has evolved for the human species and how it can be analyzed and interpreted through physical, biological, and psychological means.

Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing? Krauss’ answers to these and other timeless questions, in a wildly popular lecture on YouTube, has attracted almost a million viewers. One of the few prominent scientists to have actively crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss reveals that modern science is indeed addressing the question of why there is something rather than nothing—with surprising and fascinating results.

Respectful Debate
Revisado: 03-17-19
I am a very religious person, and have oft wondered how anyone could be an Atheist, or as the title of this book puts it, believe in something from nothing. I did not realize this was the point of the book when I began reading it. This book, although full of scientific intrigue, is more of a philosophical one full of scientific backing to support an Atheistic theology.
The beginning of the book was not as enjoyable to listen to because of this and I thought about quitting it halfway through. I quickly decided to see it to the end though realizing this person has every right to preach to me as I have undoubtedly felt a right, even an obligation to preach to others about my own convictions regarding the creation of the cosmos.
With this renewed approach, I finished and thoroughly enjoyed the authors explanation of his atheistic ideology on the basis of the science that he deals with on the daily. Although not convincing in any way to shed any doubt on the faith I hold in a Creator, it did help me understand the point of view of the other side of the coin. It proved a healthy and respectful debate that religious folks and non-religious folks can and should be having.

Historia
Going against the conventional wisdom reinforced by the medical establishment and Big Pharma that more screening is the best preventative medicine, Dr. Gilbert Welch builds a compelling counterargument that what we need are fewer, not more, diagnoses. Documenting the excesses of American medical practice that labels far too many of us as sick, Welch examines the social, ethical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that unnecessarily diagnoses and treats patients.

Good but repetitive
Revisado: 08-06-18
Excellent and insightful read on the over diagnosis of society. This is not some hippy, anti-medicine book that I kind of thought it might be when first encouraged to read it by my wife. It is written by a member of the medical community and is very thorough and articulate. The biggest take away from this book is how diagnosing society without symptoms can be problematic, costing us more in medical care than needed, and ultimately not doing us any good. He is careful not to say all diagnosis is bad, but that the medical community needs to be far more concerned with diagnosing problems where there may be none.
The thorough nature of the book, through all the different medical fields, is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. The same point seems to be made over and over again just with different examples. I think the book could have been half the length and been just as effective in it's message. It's length and repetitive nature made it hard to listen to straight through and I had to break it up with other books along the way to keep me engaged.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Written to be read as an audiobook
Revisado: 08-06-18
This is one of my favorite books. I read it when it first came out. I was super excited when the movie came out and insisted all my family read the book before it's release. They all liked it as much as I did. The only issue I had with it was some of the language. Nothing is too obscene or outrageous but it does drop the F-Bomb pretty often.
This book was absolutely meant to be read as an audiobook. The majority of the book is written in these audio-logs of the astronaut Mark Watney. So by listening to the book, it feels more like you are listening to the audio journal of this martian astronaut rather than a book about a martian astronaut. It makes for an incredible listen.
