The answer I’ve been looking for!

Revisado: 01-05-25

This describes exactly what we are struggling with and how to get past these problems. We are small so not the same level of resistance described regarding large organizations. Quite long, but great content and I will likely buy the paper version as a result for reference as I try to implement this.

Clear way results and out of routines

Revisado: 11-20-24

A change in focus that leads to solving problems rather than doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The examples were spot on and have me very good ideas on how to improve what my company does.

Philosophy book disguised as click-bait

Revisado: 07-19-24

Listened two it twice. It’s entertaining at 1.2x. I will likely revisit it periodically. It is full of wonderful histories and great explanations that make complicated subject matter pretty easy to understand. In the end it changed my approach to my work and I am less worried about the modern social and political morass in which we live.

Great writer - hire a narrator

Revisado: 06-28-24

Great autobiography, biography, history, tech, politics and “truth to power” book. I will buy a hard copy next time for her next book if narrated by the author because there is an art and skill to narration that is entirely missing. It diminishes the impact of the words. I don’t say this to be mean. I say it because I am lazy and don’t think I will make it through this kind of book unless it’s spoon fed to me as I walk my dog or drive to work. It’s a lot of work to record a book so pay a professional so you can keep writing and speaking truth to power.

European colonization finally makes sense

Wonderful breakdown of trends and global shifts in influence and power over centuries. Makes me more interested in history and economics!

Global setup to the World Wars

Revisado: 01-18-24

Dense content brought to life by a very good narrator. This book is great for is global illustration to what I though of as a conquest of Europe. You might need a map to keep up with the story told region by region and empire by empire around the turn of the 19th century (1800). Rich in political intrigue, double agents, and king making. Reality is more interesting than fiction.

That’s it?

Revisado: 10-17-23

Make a time budget. Pray instead. There, I saved you the time of having to listen to this.

If you are not deeply Christian and want a bunch of biblical references to inspire you, this is going to be a disappointment. It’s a good 2 chapters of an incomplete book.

Hire a professional

Revisado: 09-24-23

Good content. Had to listen at 1.25 speed. I would have preferred a professional narrator.

Walking the walk

Revisado: 04-08-23

Good inspiring story. I realized yesterday, while playing tennis that I was playing to not lose rather than win. Today almost verbatim I hear her say that exact thing. “Maybe universal energy,” says the atheist.

Only suggestion is delegate the narration next time. Start writing the next book instead. I am sure there will be many more books to come.

Made me think about what is possible

Revisado: 03-20-23

I have no desire to go without money, but I like the fact that he did what I didn’t think possible. It makes me wonder what I can do that is difficult but not a difficult as his moneyless year. This is a principled mountain climb … not to go somewhere but to extend our idea of what’s possible. We don’t get hung up on how someone achieves an ultra marathon so why complain about “preaching.” His beliefs and resolve allowed him to achieve something I didn’t think possible. It also inched me towards less waste. This book delivered exactly what I expected and more.
