Exceedingly well written, gritty and honest. An officers perspective of the war from the front lines. Exploring leadership, combat and the psychology of the soldier this book takes you along for a combat infantryman’s tour in Nam. Great read!

This book affected me profoundly

Revisado: 10-13-22

This book flashed me back to some of my own psychedelic experiences, many of which seem to belong to a previous life for me, since I was much younger, single, without children etc. I can’t say for sure but something in the way he recounts his own experience had a profound impact on my meditation practice. The last several days of meditation have been the best of my whole practice. I have remembered the places my mind has been and allowed myself to open the “reducing valve of consciousness” during my sitting. Only the second book I’ve read from Michael Pollen, the other being Caffein. I loved them both! Fantastic writer, thinker, story teller. Now I want to read all of his books!

Inspirational, motivational, bad$ss.

I loved this book. Will most definitely be reading it many more times! Tim Kennedy covers a wide range of crazy experiences from fighting terrorists to training with Chuck Liddell and a whole lot in between. It covers a wide emotional range too, I cried like 6 times in this book. A must read!

This book is so good!

Revisado: 03-14-22

Extremely well researched, well written, great performance. I’ve rekindled my love of reading over the last couple years. I have read 105 books since January of last year about 75% of them nonfiction and this is one of the best I’ve read. Highly recommend.

This lecture series kindled a spark in me.

Revisado: 02-08-22

The subject matter covers the full span of mezoamerican history and explains very well what we know, what we assume and best of all what we have no clue about.

Now I want to go and explore for more hidden cities and dive the cenotes.

As a new dad I’ve read a lot of parenting books…

Revisado: 08-24-21

And don’t get me wrong, the books written by women for women have a ton of great material, especially for how to support my wife. But Armin Brotts books have helped ME tremendously! I appreciate his emphasis on active fathering and how he points out and disarms the many parenting myths around fatherhood. His book The Expectant Father was the book that most prepared me for the birth of my son, which was far crazier and emotionally vivid than any other moment in my life. And this book has helped me to get a grasp on the milestones I have to look forward to now that we’re home and parenting (our son is 10 days old as I wrote this). Thanks Armin, sincerely, you helped me grasp the task at hand, from so many different angles!

Fantastic

I just finished and can barely see through my tears to write. Exceptionally well written, researched and narrated. 10 out of 10.

Another stellar Crypto book from Casey and Vigna

Revisado: 06-30-21

I fell in love with their first book on this topic, “The Age of Cryptocurrency”. Very well researched and presented although given it’s age, quite outdated.
I suppose this book too, is getting to be a bit outdated, but just like the first helped me to learn and appreciate the origins and historically significant events pertaining to crypto, this book helped me to see the wider capabilities of cryptocurrencies aside from just a digital store of value.
The narration is just a bit on the dry side though (admittedly it is not the most sexy topic to narrate.)

What a narrator!

Revisado: 05-25-21

This is probably the best narration that I have heard from any audiobook. Simon Prebble’s ability to seamlessly transition between languages and accents. I was astounded! Bravo!
Also the story is fantastic.

Podcast format between chapters

Revisado: 12-03-19

I was back and forth on the podcast format. Sometimes I hated it. Other times I was totally drawn into it. It really does offer some awesome behind the scenes insights though, so if you are put off by it at first it does have some pretty soaring high points throughout. Just hang in there.
