As of June the best read so far of 2022

Revisado: 06-05-22

Simply fantastic and insightful. This is especially true if you’re already participate in talk therapy and have some base level skills of introspection.

Still a skeptic but very interesting

Revisado: 10-29-20

Interesting stuff. I think he sells the idea that meat can be healthy for us fairly well and that complete vegan is maybe not the best path forward. That said, the argument that plants poison us seems shaky. One thing that would have helped me understand is less chemistry talk or at least explaining it better than a textbook. Maybe that is a tall order but at times it felt like a lot of chemical formulas and bonds and chains and acids and just...you space out. Still a very interesting read and I’d recommend it to anyone.

On Opposite Side of Aisle But Very Well Written

Revisado: 09-14-20

There isn’t a terrible amount that I would agree with John Bolton on as he typically and in here comes across with the typical American Imperialist mindset that we can control the world. That said, I found his book to be really well written and fascinating to hear a point of view that differs from my own. A lot of people think Trump is a problem because he is; but I enjoy that Bolton discusses the deficiencies in all aspects. This was in contrast the media’s representation that the book was a pseudo “Gotchya” as if Bolton was going to throw Don under the bus. Trump is capable of that all by himself. At the risk of rambling I’ll sum up...different views but I can respect a great book and well thought opinion when I see/hear it.

Wonderfully written and educational

Revisado: 08-28-20

I’ve read a few books about race at this point and I gotta say I really enjoyed this one to the extent one can enjoy learning about oppression.

As an author she really takes time to explain things that some other authors kind of expect white people to already know and acknowledge. I imagine if they already did we wouldn’t have the structures that we do. . .

Anyway...it is truly a wonderful book that is thought provoking and highly recommended.

Fair points but kind of aggressive

Revisado: 08-18-20

I’ll start by saying that the book has some merit. There for sure is a lot of systemic racism and the type of racism that goes unseen. The crux of the argument that makes me lean towards the author’s approach as being too “aggressive” or “forward” for attempt at wording. She argues that individualism is part of what keeps whites empowered and people of color not so much so. I could agree but asking to change the American mentality from being individualist to collective is a steep order. While yes the constitution was written by white men and maybe they had a different view of “all” than we do today the theory we are shooting for today is unchanged. Racism is very real and alive but putting the entire burden of it solely on white people and saying that “maybe if you didn’t do this”. At a certain point I’d someone is racist then don’t hang out with them and they will have no friends. The arguments that it is on white people to struggle and figure it out. They simply won’t do that. If our country wants change then we all must take part. You can’t have one side wanting individualism and another wanting collectivism...it will just be finger pointing the whole time. Overall I value the book and it’s opinions...I just think it’s quite aggressive and I think you could take this topic and reach more people by taking a chill pill.

Good for facts

Revisado: 07-23-19

It is a really good book that describes narcissism and what it looks like if you’re. It sure that is what you are dealing with in a parent. The ideas though on what to do with that situation seem a bit shallow and there is a lot of what just seems like arts and crafts activities to “discover yourself”. It was great for describing narcissism but beyond that.

Very Informative Stick With It

Revisado: 07-14-19

It is a fantastic read. I don’t know if it was because some of the chapters had no bearing on my life and that is why it came off really dry in those parts. There were some parts (particularly the last 6 hours...couldn’t put it down). Fantastic read if you’re into just learning about everything and anything!

Not a bad listen just a ton of information

Revisado: 05-11-17

The format is a ton of dates and kind of feels all over the place which makes it a bit harder to follow in audio format. I imagine the hard copy would be easier with margin notes and such. It is just a ton of information that is almost squeezed into a small space.
