Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities. In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind.

Raw story telling from a very personal place
Revisado: 11-14-24
Raw and very introspective. He really examines what he thinks being American and African mean in foreign lands, through his lens.

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society.

Still very relevant

This should be standard reading in business school. Many of our corporate leaders bestow greatness and promotions to the loudest in the room, not those that can inspire, deliver, or simply do better. Too many ideas go unheard because they’re never spoken due to lack of oxygen in the room. This is particularly true in design thinking sessions. I read this 10 years ago. Still relevant today.

Almost good! Even with the Dangling participles and not-so-subtle Christian judgement

Almost good! Even with the Dangling participles and not-so-subtle Christian judgement
Revisado: 02-27-18
If you can get over some of the underlying religious tones and judgment that isn’t founded on research or good therapeutic or clinical fundamentals, it’s actually a decent book. I found that topics such as alcohol consumption and pornography use, were not well researched at all. It’s what you’d get in a standard pastoral counseling session. Many of the talking points could be pulled right from focus on the family or another religious organization. However, despite that, the discussions on accusations, letting go, control, and managing hurt, those were built on good foundations and valuable in the healing or reconstruction of the marital relationship. If you’re Christian, this is less overt. For others, you’ll see it.
I’d also like the author to understand that we’re not broken, or flawed. Perfection is subjective. We are hurt, we are malleable, we are learning, we are feeling, we are human, we are evolved (not created), we are change even though change is hard, we are beautiful and ugly. Your judgement was a major detractor in the book.
