Emotional fluff, no information
Revisado: 01-28-25
This podcast is mostly fluff and emotions, no valuable info was provided. Good title, but unfortunately sounds like a cheap advertisement to buy books.

Interesting, but biased.
Revisado: 10-04-20
The author assumes that the people and the economy "have to" be taken care of by the equal amount of people in the next generation, hence people should have more children, or allow refugees from the 3rd world countries. This is not necessarily true, there is ingenuity, innovation and automation. I believe, if we want, we can figure out how to live in the smaller society. In addition, author's criticism of practically every country (Britain, USA, Europe) is off-putting. However, I do like Canada's, author's home and role model, meritocratic emigration policy. Finally, author's suggestion that we should all move to the big city, New York, to save the word vs living on a farm, is ridiculous as the cities are the cancer as far as the Earth and society is concerned.
I am looking forward to a little less population by the time I retire, to a home in the country side, fresh air and neighbors I know and trust. I know we can be creative and inventive and that this is something that many people underestimate when forcasting the future.

Historia
Machine learning (ML) is changing virtually every aspect of our lives. Today ML algorithms accomplish tasks that until recently only expert humans could perform. As it relates to finance, this is the most exciting time to adopt a disruptive technology that will transform how everyone invests for generations. The book addresses real-life problems faced by practitioners on a daily basis and explains scientifically sound solutions using math, supported by code and examples.

Useful book, bad audiobook.
Revisado: 09-13-20
This is an important book, but should have been rewritten for audio. several hours of math formulas does not make for good listening.

Historia
Early Whitcomb's family needs a miracle. Their Iowa farm has been in the family for generations, but a long drought has withered their savings and left them in debt - and in danger of foreclosure. Early's uncle, Jesse, thinks he has the solution: to head West and dig for gold. Fueled by reports of prospectors striking it rich in the Rocky Mountains, Jesse can't think about anything but gold. Early is wild to go with him, as much for the adventure as for the gold. But the journey costs money - more than the boys can afford....

I really enjoyed the story and if you are interested in Pikes Peak, Denver and Boulder area it brings up the early days well.

Historia
In 1997, David Deida released what would become one of the most widely read books on men’s spirituality ever published—The Way of the Superior Man. In this unabridged audiobook of the 20th-anniversary edition, Deida presents a new preface to the now-classic text on how to live a life of masculine freedom, integrity, and authenticity.

Spreading "Ocean of love" idea
Revisado: 04-05-19
Valuable if you are a man that is into yoga and spreading "ocean of love" ideas. The pink psychodelic shrink-wrap with a yogic bent, might be a bit too much for a man who tries to find his way between utter and unnatural domestication and the deep urge to rough it out in the great outdoors.

Historia
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

This is a great book, I highly recommend it.
Revisado: 04-20-17
The book translates concepts like "personal values" into a direct language that a modern person can understand. Remains me of some ancient Japanese Zen masters who were teaching by going beyond accepted social norms. The author however, does not use confusing "koans" and high ideals, but translates the concepts down to terms anyone can understand.
