From the hero whistleblower of the infamous Theranos scam, Thicker than Water is a look at never-before-revealed details behind closed doors at the company, revealing a cautionary tale of corporate bullying, gaslighting, ego, and wealth running amok in Silicon Valley. Tyler Shultz had been in the workforce for less than a year when he emailed Elizabeth Holmes, his employer and the CEO and founder of Theranos, with concerns that the company’s lab practices were faulty, ignored quality control, and were potentially dangerous to patients.

Tyler Shultz was clearly raised well (kudos to his parents) and has more integrity in just his pinky finger than others develop after a lifetime, His future is very bright. Thank you for sharing your story.

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

A must- read or “must listen” for all curious people
Revisado: 02-09-21
Truly fascinating account of Anthony Fauci, both written and read by the author Michael Spector. Spector is a fabulous story teller, think “This American Life” meets “history of science”.

Lindy Boggs, Cokies’s mother spoke at my Newcomb College graduation back in 1991. Her words were inspiring and heartfelt- especially the advice regarding family and work balance. Many years later, I have made a point to read everything I could from the women of this special family. After Cokie’s passing, I decided to co-listen to this book with my ten and twelve year old daughters and it has given us hours of fascinating discussion and words of wisdom. God bless you Cokie, you are such a blessing for our country.

Opportunities for co-listening & discussion
Revisado: 08-21-19
Co-listened to Katherine Quie’s laugh-at-loud memoir while driving in the car with my 2 pre-teen daughters (ages 10 and 12).... I appreciated the simple honesty, humility and heart-warming reflectivity in the author’s voice ( Quie read her book for Audible- which is always a plus ). As a family, we took full advantage of the many invaluable opportunities to discuss the themes, emotions and memories that it conjured up. This memoir offers, for lack of a better description “empathy training” for everyone... period , end of story. Additionally, this book offers concrete take-ways, life lessons & perspectives for families and friends of folks who have kids who are diagnosed or perhaps undiagnosed with ADHD type traits. Both my husband and myself have families over-flowing with ADHD type traits and this is the first book that has provided the raw honesty and humor to get all engaged in the conversation.
