Historia
Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction? You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes.

I enjoyed the author’s shared learnings as well as his musical melodies throughout. It was interesting to hear about how well his parents did to instill self-drive, values and selflessness in their children.

Historia
In The Surrender Experiment, Michael A. Singer tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to relinquish his personal fears and desires and simply let life unfold before him. Singer shares how this pivotal decision to embrace the flow of life led him to extraordinary success, sustained him through times of crisis, and allowed him to cultivate profound inner peace—whether as a young man pursuing a life of solitude in the woods, the founder of a thriving spiritual community in Florida, or the CEO of a billion-dollar medical software company.

A riveting, unbelievable journey
Revisado: 09-12-23
I loved the book and devoured it in no time. The author’s journey is not only spectacular but welcomes reader to wonder — what if? Yes, what if we let go and start being more open to the opportunities, whether we like them or not, that greet each of us on a near daily basis. For sure, I will recommend this book to my friends and family. #bravo

Historia
Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

Historia
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

As a long time recovering insomniac, I found this book immensely valuable. I’ve completely changed my sleep habits and am happy to now sleep about 7.5 hours average each night. I’ve bought and will continue to give copies of this book to friends and family. It frankly is it can be life-saving or certainly prevent manly ailments from occurring.

Historia
This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of "basic stories" in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it reveals that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling.

I did enjoy the book but it went on and on and on and on. It could have been jut as effective if they had been more proficient in editing it down.

I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if he had held back in promoting his website half a dozen times per chapter. That was completely unnecessary and created a disappointing experience for readers.
