Historia
At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated?

A C list celebrity experience doesn't translate
Revisado: 11-22-22
I applaud the amount of research Aziz got paid to do as he traveled to some the most popular tourist spots in the world, and he clearly talked to some of the leading experts in what gets people to click. However, only the passively explaining the burn out women feel from over saturation and man feel from being ignored doesn't adequately cover the BIGGEST issue from the online dating industry. Also not discussing the online dating is an industry that in totality is valued around $7bn that on approximately a 5to1 basis makes money from men

I runs into the same problem with chronology that ALWAYS happens when you collect myths into one narrative but he doesn't hide the ball on it so it's completely forgivable

Historia
Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. It is listenable enough for people with no prior knowledge of economics. Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.

Historia
From the towering heights of Olympos Mons on Mars, the mighty Zeus and his immortal family of gods, goddesses, and demigods look down upon a momentous battle, observing - and often influencing - the legendary exploits of Paris, Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, and the clashing armies of Greece and Troy. Thomas Hockenberry, former 21st-century professor and Iliad scholar, watches as well. It is Hockenberry's duty to observe and report on the Trojan War's progress to the so-called deities who saw fit to return him from the dead.

a book for sifi loving classical lit nerds
Revisado: 08-16-21
A bit of a slow burn that expects you to have at least a spark notes understanding of Homer, Shakespeare's poems and related works, and a philosophical overview of Proust.
If your classical literature nerd AND you want a Dune esk SiFi adventure you will not find anything better to scratch that itch, but it's a pretty niche itch

Historia
Did you know women walk more, eat less, socialize more, meet more men, dance more, and flirt more when they're ovulating? Or that PMS may have evolved to get rid of boyfriends with unfit sperm? Behind the "fickle" differences in what women find sexy about men, or what they like to wear, there's a hidden adaptive intelligence shaped over eons. Rather than making women irrational - as the conventional and irredeemably sexist wisdom goes - the female hormonal cycle has been exquisitely fine-tuned to give women the advantages they needed to succeed in our ancestral environments, and perhaps also today.

feminist but full of information girls should have
Revisado: 02-04-21
this book contains real factual information about the female hormonal cycle that would help ANY woman understand herself and her emotions at far deeper level
It is a disgrace that women and girls don't have this kind of information in their lives more radially
It does have a flew of framing every aspect of the hormonal cycle as a kind of super power without any drawbacks that aren't simply overcome that may set an unrealistic bar for many women
The preamble nearly bends over backwards to state that women are NOT hormonally driven and are NOT (at least partly) characteristically different throughout their cycle (monthly and lifetime), but then spends the REST OF THE BOOK demonstrating with scientific evidence that they (to some extent) certainly are
