Brilliant companion to The Mercy of Gods. Does a solid job explaining what the rest of the universe looks like outside of the world shown in TMoG.

Historia
Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed one of the epochal fortunes of the twentieth century - an astounding net worth of $10 billion and counting. His awesome investment record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire who has a modest lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura.

It's 17 hrs long but doesn't feel like it. If you're interested in Buffett and Berkshires journey, this is a great way to get the underlying details. I read this after listening to the Acquired podcast on Berkshire Hathaway.

Reads like a story
Revisado: 01-08-25
I thought this might be a slog to get through, but it's so well told that you might as well be listening to a story. The first 4 chapters need to be a full 6-season show on HBO.

In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping—but the truth is essential to our health.

Even if you don't believe in Marty's ideology, he will give you enough ammo to question your own. I am excited to see what leadership he will bring to the FDA, and I am a fan of his approach of prioritizing real science and experimentation over pure centralized dogma.

I can see why this is so highly rated
Revisado: 09-18-24
This is the kind of book that can be read once a year as a refresher on how to lead an engaged and motivated team that performs to its utmost potential. The notes in the final chapter are a brilliant summary (definitely write them down). Those who liked this would also like No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings.

Historia
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Historia
Andy Grove, founder and former CEO of Intel shares his strategy for success as he takes the listener deep inside the workings of a major company in Only the Paranoid Survive. Under Andy Grove's leadership, Intel became the world's largest chip maker and one of the most admired companies in the world. Grove underscores his message by examining his own record of success and failure, including how he navigated the events of the Pentium flaw, which threatened Intel's reputation in 1994, and how he has dealt with the explosions in growth of the internet.

Still holds up!
Revisado: 09-10-24
Andy Grove's lessons are still very much applicable. he does a brilliant job walking you through Intels transformation through it's strategic inflection point. it should make us all be a bit paranoid about our business, even in good times, and constantly hunt for that 10X change factor to get ahead of it.

Historia
For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

Very helpful for leaders
Revisado: 08-03-24
I especially loved the distinction between leading for proficiency and leading for creativity. I think leaders often confuse the 2 and end up with cultures that don't provide what that specific organization needs.

Winner of an Obie and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, Yellow Face is as timely as ever, wrestling with issues of cultural appropriation, complicity, and artistic freedom. It’s brought to life in this audio-only revival by a stunning all-star cast (many playing themselves) led by Daniel Dae Kim.

Loved the fast pace storytelling style
Revisado: 08-03-24
Great subject matter, not woke at all, loved poking fun at itself, and the style of story telling was very fast paced and engaging.
