Historia
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Historia
Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.

A total fluff piece. Let me save 11 hours of your life by summarizing it in one sentence: money grows on trees.

Historia
In 2018, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and Hank Paulson came together to reflect on the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis 10 years on. Recognizing that, as Ben put it, "the enemy is forgetting," they examine the causes of the crisis, why it was so damaging, and what it ultimately took to prevent a second Great Depression. And they provide to their successors in the United States and the finance ministers and central bank governors of other countries a valuable playbook for reducing the damage from future financial crises.

intellectually dishonest
Revisado: 07-23-20
I get that they want to look good and keep it short but this book is intellectually dishonest in so many ways. First of all, we know the removal of glass stegal act caused the recession but then they go on to say they didn't want the rule reinstated because it might harm banks profits... yikes.

Historia
For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: Passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom.

A classic bloated fluff piece that when boiled down to what people actually need to read is no longer than 20 pages max.

an obvious but necessary message to society
Revisado: 04-24-20
I mean you will have to decide for you what your relationship to technology is and should be. At the end of the day, the message this book delivers at large is an important one that is long overdue. There are several factual errors as well as rambling side tangents on Walden and the Amish but he is still largely on point.

Historia
An unlikely pair of voices - the world's most recognizable beauty icon and "America's rabbi"- come together to diagnose how meaningful, passionate sex is on the decline in Western culture, and what is necessary to save it. Sex is dying in America. Inundated with sex and starved for it, obsessed with it yet clueless about it, we are slowly forgetting how to make love. The crisis of modern sexuality is seen in high divorce rates, in the degradation of sexuality through pornography, and tasteless displays of empty, counterfeit erotica.

Yikes. Where to begin?
Revisado: 04-11-20
Okay so let's start with the factual errors that abound with Judaism...
They state the Sabbath was invented to have one day without technology... not only did the Sabbath exist before any technology... the Sabbath has nothing to say on actual use of technology. eesh.
This error alone makes one wonder if the Rabbi actually participated in anyway shape or form in this book. This book reads like one long feminist rant of a woman who wrote this by herself without any male input anywhere.
Okay to the actual complaints of omission.
1. The problems feminism causes.
2. The fact that dating data now shows women only date the top 20% of men and women find a full 90% of men to be below average.
3. Women initiate divorce in 67% including our Author Pamela who just divorced a man after 7 days after he paid her debtors 250k.
These omissions are important because the book goes on to state men are 100% to blame for everything and they're the problem. It goes on to list endless female demands that are never ending and never fulfillable which leads one to wonder not only why no man should ever get married but should men even bother dating at all?
Add in the authors Hypocrisy when she goes on rants about porn when she made her entire fortune, career and fame off of her nudity in playboy. eesh. There are some hidden nuggets and the last few pages give some practical and actionable advice... but it's not worth the money and nothing could save this book from a dumpster fire.
This book represents a classical example of a woman who grew dating with every privilege under the sun. As a consequence, she has absolutely zero idea of modern dating or gender balancea since she has never experiences them herself. i feel so sorry for her sons.

Now, she continues this generation-defining conversation in a brand-new format, interviewing millennials around the country about their own deeply personal experiences with burnout, and the culture that creates it.

Historia
Every day we work hard to motivate ourselves, the people we live with, the people who work for and do business with us. In this way much of what we do can be defined as being motivators. From the boardroom to the living room, our role as motivators is complex, and the more we try to motivate partners and children, friends and coworkers, the clearer it becomes that the story of motivation is far more intricate and fascinating than we've assumed.

so sick of Dan just taking his previous work, retitling it and rewrapping it and selling it again. Either write something new or stop. What you are doing is basically fraud.
