Inspiring and very relevant

Revisado: 02-19-24

An inspiring story of the highest level of military leadership written with down to earth recommendations. The book also speaks about an almost untold part of American/ Western history that needs to be addressed. A must read for every Western Culture officer.

Extremely insightful

Revisado: 09-13-23

For a long time I’ve been keeping a moral way of thinking that was based on what I think, on my choices, in a very Sartrian-postmodern way like most of the people I know. Rabi Sacks calls for a different way with much more benevolent outcomes.
I really enjoyed the sources that Rabi Sacks chose and how they were winded together into a coherent moral path that is relevant for anyone on this planet.

Very good lectures, very hard to visualize

Revisado: 12-07-22

From the lectures one can understand the main thermodynamics concepts and ideas from a very intuitive point of view. Ad a physics teacher, I am very much impressed by the teaching methods.
Nonetheless, after a few lectures it becomes very hard to visualize the graphs, demonstrations and equations from just hearing the lectures. I feel I only understood half of the content just because I missed many things that the original video shows.

military history from a General's perspectice

Revisado: 01-23-19

as a non American military officer, the lectures were thrilling, teaching and thought provoking. the General's perspective was different from a regular history book, with deep insights on the conflicts and the way they were managed. I was reminded why I deeply respect the American people. I don't think that these lectures are fit for someone with no previous knowledge in military affairs or in American history. The pace is fast so to cover all the conflicts and their insights.

many maxims are extremely relevant today

Revisado: 01-01-19

some maxims are only relevant to the 19th century reader. sometimes ideas provoked my thoughts for hours, sometimes I simply didn't understand the point.

thrilling lectures sometimes not fit for beginners

Revisado: 09-17-18

thrilling lectures on the different genres of orchestral music and their rapid transitions durring the 20th cen., with many powerful historical insights. it is fit for listeners with solid music vocabulary.
not recommended before listening to "how to listen and understand great music". not fit for listening while driving, since all the music is linked and not played on lecture.
some links lead to tracks that no longer exist on YouTube, and it can be frustrating.

partial Jewish Intelectual History

Revisado: 05-24-18

Every single lecture brought new insights from new vantage points of different theologians and philosophers. The lectures were rich in the sense that new and deep ideas were brought, keeping a high academic level though simple enough for someone who hasn't learned Judaism before.
The drawback is that there is a list of some crutial figures in Jewish thought that weren't reminded or didn't receive the attention they deserve. this list includes Yosef Karo, HaAri, Baal Shem Tov, Hagaon MeVilna, Ramhal, Harav Kook, The Ravi MeLubabich and Harav Soloveichik. Furthermore, there was no mention of the intelectual history of the Jews living in the Muslim diaspora which could be sumerized by taking about Harav Ovadia Yosef.

A must for the seeker of Truth

Revisado: 11-21-17

be ready to have at least some of your basic believes shaken. as a theist, I had some serious pills to swallow in some lectures. it really made me think of my assumptions, Prof. Johnson's assumptions, and inquire for the truth.

Prof. Johnson's lectures are comprehensive, interesting and even humorous. the only thing I should warn a listener is that you can find yourself feeling offended, either because one of your deepest believes has just been proven wrong, or because your religion is being mocked at a little or used in an unsesable way. I confess I felt offended a few times not only for my religion, but for the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religion. nonetheless, one should try to leave it aside and confront the intelectual, not personal, challenge.

Brilliant philosophy, outstanding narration

Revisado: 06-02-17

tactless, but revolutionary philosophy that in my opinion changed history, especially relevant to the 20th century.
the narration was outstanding, giving power to every word.
