i have m no idea how this ended up in my library

Revisado: 01-26-25

I don't know how this was added to my library, and would like my selection back, but it's the hard to track when it was added, and it's not unbearable. Skull and Bones type stuff, and the banality of evil...yawn. Many are called, few are chosen, and we suffer these vain fools delighted to join the clubs that would have them as members. Life and death at stake too. Confederacy of High IQ dunces.

Buy instead or with Russ Baker's "Family of Lies"

Very Interesting History of CIA's Track Record

Revisado: 07-27-23

Suggests CIA has always been the slowest horse at the track, as it catalogues CIA's astonishingly long long list of failures.

More vigorous pursuit of Open source Intelligence by qualified people seems a better solution to any Intel gap than the author's $2B CIA Berlitz finishing school for future case officers to learn to do what hasn't been working for decades- bribe, compromise, kill (pick 2).

Maybe the trauma based model was always broken. So many failed missions seem to suggest it.

Maybe just paying fair market prices for a given (Congo) nation's natural resources and these massive engineering marvels is cheaper.

extraordinary history I will be listening to over

Revisado: 12-16-22

An outstanding history of proletarian revolutionaries, agitators and "sons and daughters of Liberty" among the hewers of wood and drawers of water, performed flawlessly. One of the best audible downloads I've purchased. if we are meant to "own nothing and be happy" be sure to download this to your hard drive.

Wisdom of a Greater Generation

Revisado: 07-27-22

Prof lays bare many of the elements of demoralizing American decline. Not since the best seller "Looking Out for Number One" will you see what has made America less great. Don't wait for a fascistic buffoon like Hitler to trap us into a mass formation psychology spiral before you can see that cascading fall.

Remarkably entertaining if only a temporary state

Revisado: 03-01-22

You're find a lot of relatable content between the lines of this salty assessment of the screens in our lives

I do not agree with some of it, ie, "Time Out"

Revisado: 04-16-21

Time out is over-- it's time out for time out, as per compelling research. It's alienating, and maddening like solitary confinement.

And overall the book had more the tone of a politician message, than an information source. I preferred Adele Faber's books, which requires passive inquiry and let's children vent when they are off track. or "Handsinhand parenting" online.

Outstanding book about the creation

Revisado: 06-13-20

And the creativity of man (and the lack thereof when he gets to the French enlightenment and all the utterly convinced atheists pounding tables with their shoes all over the world these days).

Remember that comparative religion course you always wanted to take as an undergraduate but never got around to because you had so many other core curriculum requirements?

This is it, only no exams.

I've listened to this book 4 times already. it's my favorite bedtime story, set timer to 30 minutes.

An ounce of prevention worth tons of cures

Revisado: 01-26-20

Aging is a disease.

Radical idea or the most rational approach to healing since "do no harm". The problem with "do no harm" is that while it covers acts in furtherance of a harm well enough to keep any doctor safe from slippery tort lawyers, it does not address omissions.

Addresses the question: "Can something be done?"

There appears to be mounting and accelerating evidence that we can all do and be much much better.
