Hopeful

Revisado: 06-05-24

It is easy to fall into the doomsday view of the world but even as the chances of the worst coming to pass seems to be increasing, it is comforting to know that we have been here before and will figure out a way forward.

Very thought provoking and applicable to life today if you think through what role you can or want to play in shaping the next seculum that will soon be upon us.

Self Help & Leadership Classic

Revisado: 03-19-23

his teachings of his book ring as true today as when it was written 90 years ago. Full of seemingly obvious teachings, but ones we forget to apply in our daily lives, where they can make so much difference.

fairly balanced in my opinion

Revisado: 08-29-21

I’m sure both conservative and liberal listeners can find something to hate in this review of Western civilization which in my mind probably makes it a fair review. it’s also thought provoking about the path forward. I believe over the longer term the secret of success of any civilization is in it valuing the individuals within in it and the innovation they can bring to help the civilization evolve over time.

Original Self Help Book

Revisado: 01-06-21

A lot of the basic notions of the power of positive thinking and taking responsibility and actions for your own success. Written around 1930 so give the author a bit of a break on language and some science and sex views. The messages still hold true in my view.

This is not the End of the World

Revisado: 11-21-20

I kept hearing about this book in reference to more end of the world scenarios, but after listening to it I found rather reassuring about the path forward. I write this as a “Thirteener” and I’m sure I have biases, and people may hear what they want to hear but I found solace in linking current times to previous crises and seeing that we can make it through to a better tomorrow. It is only our own self importance that leads us to believe that this is the end. It maybe the end of an era but Fourth turnings are needed to clear the path for new ideas and new innovations. certainly we may be in the fourth turning or even nearing its end. I took a lot of hope in learning from the lessons of history. What we are going through is normal and not new, and as previous generations found a way through so shall we.

Fat is Good

Revisado: 09-18-20

Ties all the low carb vs low fat dietary info together in a great way and shows that sugar and thus perhaps processed foods are the enemy. They affect more than just weight with possible issues on bone denisty to dementia. The science can get a little heavy so the audio book is a great way to take it in.
