Historia
With compassion and candor, leading neurosurgeon Henry Marsh reveals the fierce joy of operating, the profoundly moving triumphs, the harrowing disasters, the haunting regrets, and the moments of black humor that characterize a brain surgeon's life. If you believe that brain surgery is a precise and exquisite craft, practiced by calm and detached surgeons, this gripping, brutally honest account will make you think again.

Great Information
Revisado: 08-05-24
Enjoyed some aspects of the story. However it came across and whiney at times and was not very reader friendly. I work on surgery and felt like the information here for those whom are non medical or non surgical would be turned off by the information.

Historia
Jared Kushner was one of the most consequential presidential advisers in modern history. For the first time, he recounts what happened behind closed doors during the Trump presidency. Few White House advisors have had such an expansive portfolio or constant access to the president. From his office next to Trump, senior adviser Jared Kushner operated quietly behind the scenes, preferring to leave the turf wars and television sparring to others.

Riveting...
Revisado: 03-14-24
When you rely on the media and need for your source of information you may very find your opinion becoming someone else. Mr. Kushner is charming, intelligent, family oriented and kind. He favors the best interest of the people and a kids the pitfalls of bias data. His work and effort toward our country is demonstrated through this story as wholesome and authentic. I recommend this book and shall revisit it again. If you enjoy Geopolitics then this is a great resource.

Historia
Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history.

An American Warrior/Hero
Revisado: 03-04-24
This is a book that shakes the heart of American courage. From the training to befriending. At the fire of the American idea is kindness, love and hope. These views are embodied in a real world encounter with an enemy. While the loss of life is never acceptable on battlefield this story demonstrates that even during the deepest possible pain Jesus is with us.

Historia
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Historia
Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban. But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues.

Great Appreciation
Revisado: 11-25-23
Thank you Tim for your service on many fronts. This books was honest, thoughtful and revealing. As a military member who served over a decade before medical retirement I am proud to know people like this exist. There is nothing to review. Only a note of appreciation.
I recommend!!

Historia
Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

A Hail Mary at Relevance
Revisado: 11-25-23
I was happy to support Mitt during his campaigns as he seemed like a moderate to right political figure who understood that America was growing socially at a faster rate than economically. However, social distinctions should not be the principal purpose of a campaign. This book seems like a sideways bent toward former President Trump. I wanted to learn as much as I could about Mitts style how he came about his political decisions. Instead it felt like an Anti-Trump campaign and it was a turn off. I completed the book but with the reservation hoping it would address his political career. I was not pleased therefore…
I DO NOT recommend!

In Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu’s New York Times bestselling autobiography, the prime minister of Israel tells the story of his family, his path to leadership, and his unceasing commitment to defending his country and securing its future. Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his successful efforts to liberate Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation.

Worth a Read
Revisado: 11-25-23
So…
I was eager to read this book as I began before the latest news reports of conflict. I found it thorough and detailed and properly lacking the cinema style quality of a geopolitical action film style story.
While starting off slow and overly detailed it was amazing to learn of the multiple fronts of international relations Bibi has to deal with in a day to day based while managing an ongoing conflict.
If you have any interest in international relations and how the US politics view Israel then this would be your read. I have read once but would not reread.
I recommend!

Historia
Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.
