So good and so painful

Revisado: 03-22-25

Living through all of this as a Facebook user, once very much in love with it, now very much disappointed and scared of it…Wynn-Williams shares the behind the scenes of all the news and suspicions we have had. She also illustrates the toxicity of women in tech, not just at Facebook, through her own experience. I didn’t know I would also be entertained and laugh out loud at parts, that was a bonus. I hope we heed her epilogue warning about AI. Fascinating and fast times we live in.

Dry and factual

Revisado: 01-11-25

I think there are other books out there that describe this great leader better than she describes herself. I only made it partway through part 2, and like other reviews say…it read like dry lists or general information. The historical context was interesting for sure. I would have loved to hear more insight or storytelling from her to help understand the thinking or personal context and emotions behind the information or lists. However, reading about her from others it sounds like this is her personality—very matter of fact.

Best book I’ve read in a long time

Andy Weir did it again! The reader was amazing as well. I was entertained from start to finish.

History is repeating itself

Revisado: 05-13-24

I heard about this book from a Dan Savage interview. He said everyone should read it with a critical ear to what is happening right now in the US with ultra conservative fascism. It was haunting how whole passages could be replicated today with US culture, Fox News, and Trump era leadership and politics. Take heed and take care, what democracy we have remaining is on the line.

Growthful cringe

It was helpful to have the mirror held up so thoroughly. Whiteness is so pervasive it’s not always easy to see. Thank you!

Mind Blown

I love all of the Carlos Rovelli books I’ve read. Not being a physicist, but a curious human, he hits that sweet spot of accessibility and stretch that is good for a layperson. Thank you!

Thoughtful and inspiring

Revisado: 11-01-15

Even though I don't agree with all of Elizabeth's perspective on creativity, I do agree it's a topic to be curious about and to pursue our relationship with. This book inspires that exploration and for that I am very grateful. She also does give lots of tangible suggestions on how to go about practically creating, and that is always helpful. I love the way she reads her books, the same way she writes them...in a real and personable way.

One of her best

Revisado: 07-25-15

I love anything Pema! This has become my favorite audio of hers as I think with her usual humor, wisdom and relatable style she encapsulates many core teachings. A must listen.
