Historia
In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea - and to freedom.

A Book I will Return to Regain Hope and Courage
Revisado: 12-09-21
I felt silently embarrassed complaining about petty things. I seriously don't know how one girl like Yeonmi can be so unlucky, lucky, and blessed all at the same time. She showed me how to think deeply for solutions when I have problems. I am applying what I have learned from her book when dealing with obstacles in life at the moment. She is an inspiration and every girl should read or listen to her book.

One of the Best #FIRE Books there is
Revisado: 01-10-20
I like the strategies he executed. You can hear the passion and frustration in his voice. He is so passionate in convincing listeners to start controlling their finances so they can cut the cord of boring 9-5 job. I sense frustration when he mentioned so many examples of people wasting money and time. I think every College student should get a copy of this book. Thank you Scott. I will wait for your next book.

A Mandatory Read for Graduating Seniors
Revisado: 07-25-19
I work at a College in the most expensive State in the U.S., California. It is heartbreaking to see students coming back to take another class or course so they can defer paying their student loans. These students are in their 20's and older. I know of one who is about 50+ y.o. and owes $150K. She has two degrees but can't find a job. Financial literacy must be taught in 10th grade and higher so this country will have citizens not debt.
I wish I read this book when I was 20 years old but it is not possible since the author would have been 10 ten years old only.
Alas, it is never too late for folks like me. There is enough time to save money so I can retire at least ten years early. As a government employee, we do have a good pension, but I don’t want to wait for it. Kristy gave me so much idea how to adjust my investments so I can meet my goal.
I wish to join the other FIRE members one day (5 years) https://www.fichautauqua.com

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.

I RUN A MARATHON BECAUSE OF THIS AUDIO BOOK
Revisado: 07-18-19
I don't know if many people know how awful it is to grow up feeling left out and abused. I know one. This book is so inspiring in so many levels. The podcast/audible is a brilliant idea. It gave a good background and explanation of the important events in Mr. Goggin's life. It gave so much clarity. Mr. Skolnick did a good job reading the book with much gusto and emotions. I sometimes feel, he internalized the story so much that he seemed like Mr. Goggins when he reads.
This book is life changing. I grew up weak without athletic characteristics at all. After listening to the book, I realized, it is me who kept giving excuses to my shortcomings. I have the power to change my thoughts and be so much better than who I am now. I can also set goals that I can achieve no matter what. I am stronger than what I perceived to be.
I highly recommend this book. It will awaken the tough Badwater Ultra Marathoner in you. #Stayhard everyone!

Utopia for Realists is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you think can happen. From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history and beyond the traditional left-right divides as he champions ideas whose time has come.

Historia
The Tao of Seneca (volumes 1-3) is an introduction to Stoic philosophy through the words of Seneca. If you study Seneca, you'll be in good company. He was popular with the educated elite of the Greco-Roman Empire, but Thomas Jefferson also had Seneca on his bedside table. Thought leaders in Silicon Valley tout the benefits of Stoicism, and NFL management, coaches, and players alike - from teams such as the Patriots and Seahawks - have embraced it.

I'm a wee bit nice now as a human being

I'm not kidding. After listening to the philosophies of Seneca, I feel I can now socially interact way better. I love his views about serenity, respect and even death.
I love how Jonathan reads. Very clear and entertaining. It feels like I'm watching a play.

Jamie MacKenzie, walks men and their loved ones through all of the serious steps before them - from PSA numbers rising to determining whether to have a biopsy, from diagnosis to pre-op, from surgery to recovery - all while not only telling readers what to expect, but also showing them how to mine the inherent humor that will unexpectedly and mercifully accompany the fear.

Would you listen to Saying Good-Bye to Your Prostate again? Why?
Why? You ask. I just have couple of reasons; simpler to understand, funny as heck and full of great pointers. Highly recommended reading. I'm not even kidding you.
