Historia
Born in the tough town of East Baltimore to parents who were inveterate gamblers, billionaire philanthropist Bob Parsons’ early years were marked by hardship and financial struggle. While he vowed his own children would never lack for anything, never did he imagine the wealth he would one day amass as the founder of Parsons Technology, GoDaddy, PXG Golf, and YAM Worldwide.

Historia
In How the World Made the West, Josephine Quinn poses perhaps the most significant challenge ever to the “civilizational thinking” regarding the origins of Western culture—that is, the idea that civilizations arose separately and distinctly from one another. Rather, she locates the roots of the modern West in everything from the law codes of Babylon, Assyrian irrigation, and the Phoenician art of sail to Indian literature, Arabic scholarship, and the metalworking riders of the Steppe, to name just a few examples.

Great read
Revisado: 10-09-24
How the World Made the West by Josephine Quinn is an excellent and thought-provoking journey through 4,000 years of history. Quinn masterfully presents a broad and engaging narrative that traces the key influences that shaped Western civilization, making this book both informative and captivating for history enthusiasts.
However, as is often the case in works like this, there is a noticeable lack of focus on African civilizations. This omission is perhaps due to the scarcity of surviving historical records, but it remains a gap worth acknowledging. While African contributions to global history are significant, they are not thoroughly explored here.
That said, Quinn’s book is outstanding in every other respect, providing a sweeping view of cultural, political, and intellectual exchanges that defined the Western world. Her insights are clear, well-researched, and accessible. I would highly recommend How the World Made the West to anyone interested in understanding the forces that shaped our world today.

Revisado: 09-20-24
Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0: Turning Your Business into an Enduring Great Company offers an insightful upgrade to the original 1992 Beyond Entrepreneurship, blending timeless principles with fresh, contemporary strategies for building a lasting business. Jim Collins, renowned for his bestselling Good to Great, joins forces with his mentor Bill Lazier to provide a hybrid between a strategic manual for entrepreneurs and a philosophical guide to leadership.
The 2.0 edition, updated in 2020, adds reflections, new research, and examples from more recent case studies, aligning with Collins’ broader work on business greatness. The expanded content includes key lessons from Collins’ later works such as Built to Last, Good to Great, and Great by Choice, integrating these ideas with Lazier’s original teachings to create a cohesive guidebook for aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders aiming to build enduring institutions.

Historia
Based on extensive archival research on both sides of the Atlantic, Tripped is a wild, unconventional postwar history, a spiritual sequel to Norman Ohler’s New York Times bestseller Blitzed. Revealing the close relationship and hidden connections between the Nazis and the early days of drugs in America, Ohler shares how this secret history held back therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades and eventually became part of the foundation of America’s War on Drugs.

A wow review buy the tab take the ride
Revisado: 08-26-24
Tripped is a deeply immersive exploration of human psychology, rendered through a surreal and existential lens. The narrative follows a protagonist whose experiences, referred to as “trips,” blur the boundaries between reality and delusion. These disorienting episodes serve as a metaphor for the character’s inner turmoil, challenging both the protagonist and the reader to question what is real.
The book’s fragmented narrative style and dense prose demand careful attention, mirroring the protagonist’s disorientation. Shifts in time and perspective contribute to a complex structure that, while challenging, enhances the thematic depth of the work. The author’s use of language is both innovative and evocative, requiring readers to engage deeply with the text.
Tripped tackles themes of alienation, existential dread, and the search for meaning in an indifferent universe. These themes are explored with a level of intellectual rigor that positions the book as a significant contribution to existential literature.
However, the book’s complexity may alienate some readers, particularly those who prefer straightforward narratives. The frequent shifts in time and perspective demand patience and may be difficult to follow.
Despite these challenges, Tripped is a remarkable work that pushes the boundaries of literary form and content. It offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, rewarding those who engage with its complexities. As a profound piece of postmodern literature, Tripped is likely to be the subject of continued discussion and analysis in years to come.

Historia
In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s.

Our future can change for the good
Revisado: 08-14-24
Dr. Jane Thompson is a compelling exploration of the pervasive anxiety afflicting today’s youth, offering both a thorough analysis of its root causes and a hopeful outlook for the future. Through an interdisciplinary lens, Thompson deftly connects the pressures of modern life—like social media and economic instability—to the broader societal trends that exacerbate these anxieties. Yet, rather than succumbing to despair, she frames this widespread unease as a catalyst for necessary change, advocating for systemic reforms in education and economic policy alongside individual strategies for building resilience. Ultimately, Thompson envisions a future where today’s anxious youth can transform their challenges into strengths, leading us toward a more balanced and compassionate society, provided we are willing to adjust our course.

Historia
The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors, including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman at last offers his own, first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking. Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains....

Historia
The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

Historia
The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries—yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.

For those who aren’t familiar with the inner workings of the pharmaceutical, medical, and insurance business in this country, this book is very much worth the read to understand that these companies do not have the best interest for the public’s health.

Historia
Self-made billionaire Sam Zell consistently sees what others don't. From finding a market for overpriced Playboy magazines among his junior high classmates, to buying real estate on the cheap after a market crash, to investing in often unglamorous industries with long-term value, Zell acts boldly on supply and demand trends to grab the first-mover advantage. And he can find opportunity virtually anywhere - from an arcane piece of legislation to a desert meeting in Abu Dhabi.

Revisado: 09-10-23
This book was a recommendation for our book club this month, and I genuinely had no idea who Sam Zell was, I have fallen in love with the story and the human being behind the man we call Sam Zell. I’m sure if you read this book you will find yourself with the same type of sentiment. I feel as if I read my grandfathers biography, I wish I would’ve known about him earlier, and had the opportunity to shake hands with such a great man. I’ve already listened to the book twice. This is a guideline for my life.
