From birth to death, human beings are hardwired to connect to other human beings. Face-to-face contact matters: tight bonds of friendship and love heal us, help children learn, extend our lives, and make us happy. Looser in-person bonds matter too, combining with our close relationships to form a personal "village" around us, one that exerts unique effects.

great book
Revisado: 02-06-20
The information in this book is fantastic. She uses so much science to prove what we already know instinctually.
I am very anti Tech with kids. And I appreciated all of her studies to back up the negative impact that it is having on our social relationships and our self-esteem. Yet It is not going away and she does a great job finding the middle ground of. proper use of Technology.

Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most 20-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

I had no idea about Albert Einstein's personal relationships. This book has put him in a new light for me and it's not a very pretty one. This book was entertaining with some historical accuracy and the performance was excellent.

On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war.

Any book this long should be boring at times but it was not. It was fantastic and I loved listening to it. Much of it was new to me , I knew bits and pieces. Ms. Kearns Goodwin told a delightful story with a mix of history and the personal.

Recruited by the US Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than 10,000 women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of codebreaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them.

Brinkley traces FDR's love for the natural world from his youth exploring the Hudson River Valley and bird-watching. As America's president from 1933 to 1945, Roosevelt - a consummate political strategist - established hundreds of federal migratory bird refuges and spearheaded the modern endangered species movement. He brilliantly positioned his conservation goals as economic policy to combat the severe unemployment of the Great Depression.

I have read many books about FDR, but had no idea how much he's did for conservation.
This book is a great miss of history and his love of the environment.

In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is - a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh. Down to earth and relatable, frank and unapologetic, Amy Schumer is one of us: She relies on her sister for advice, still hangs out with her high school pals, and continues to navigate the ever-changing boundaries in love, work, and life.

Would you listen to The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo again? Why?
Amy nailed it. She discloses enough to be relatable while maintaining her privacy. It is funny and serious. He strength and compassion are a delight to read. I am 51 yo and so glad that my daughter has role models like Amy.
