Poncho

A solid half of the book

Revisado: 07-14-24

This insightful look at current events started strong, offering valuable context in the first half. However, the author's personal tangents later on detract from the overall focus. While the ending disappoints, the initial chapters are worth the read.

Not many good examples

Revisado: 09-02-23

The book starts well but later the examples are not so interesting specially too much analysis for chess , I was hoping the book has more professional scams , rather than white ones but the book has very good points specially the scientific scams , I enjoy it.

Side Story of the same project

This book it is just the side research of one of previous books incorporating "new" facts , nothing new luckily it just took me one credit .

I was expecting a deep research

Revisado: 12-15-21

It can be a good introductory book to this new realm where companies want to capitalize with smells and odors but it felt short , nice try but it just looks like copy paste facts from Wikipedia.

Excellent Reflection of our self esteem

Revisado: 10-19-21

It’s a fantastic book that analizar both sides of the social spectrum and it doesn’t demonize the most vulnerable people , I hope social policy makers read this book.

Good Resume

Revisado: 04-19-21

I really enjoyed this audiobook it has many curious short stories and facts that are not easy to find elsewhere , the pace goes pretty well and to cover so much deep topics in one book looks hard but the author really make it work , considering the big job to summarize so much topics it might feel he missed some points in some chapters probably the author might just avoided chapter 9 as this is only assumptions from him and well the hate is something so universal and it has been spread trough so different media since many centuries ago , anyways overall a very good Book.

Good Statics

Revisado: 11-12-19

The book is like 65% describing statistics made by the author , very good work at the numbers so basically its just explaining numbers and percentiles.

Im disappointed as i was expecting so much of this book specially after hearing the author in some BBC program and the article of his book on the Atlantic , i was expecting a more aggressive approach but its just plain statics and cheesy comparison of Michigan with Palo Alto.

Football Neocolonialism

Revisado: 09-02-19

The book is very good , the pace is good and not boring a very good choice to listen.

I really recommend the book as is written by an American author so the judgment is neutral and helps to check the rudimentary system (Fueled with millions of euros) developed by Spanish scouts , the author makes a point how the scouting (specially in USA) have changed to don't judge by what you see but to check other variants like statistics , forecast , Sociology studies , Psychological studies ,

It's clear that those are the early years of the academy but the judgment of the Scouts as we can see is very poor they are looking for the next Messi but the game evolves and in fact Josep Colomer didn't find Messi neither Menguita or Reixach , Messi was already playing for a youth academy in Argentina yea there are many people that helped him to get to the big team but that was no real scouting , you can check all the stories of all the people who said that" he discovered Messi" but what really connect all those stories is that they were asked to watch a special kid.

I understand that The author as an insider at the Colomer Scouting Journeys , Aspire academy and in The belgium club needed to write his book in neutral mode , i was hoping a little more criticism from the author but it's ok , it's very sad the situation of the kids but I hope the system somehow get a change although with their problems and controversies the best system for athletes development is the NCAA at very least the kids got an education.

Very good ending.

Revisado: 11-22-18

The audiobook is enjoyable the only problem is the Author focus on examples based on feedback from different readers of his manifiesto. I waited patiently and keep listening to examples until the last 2 chapters where the Author can give his point of view through the methodological approach of Marxist historiography. The most important thing I learned from this audiobook i is how valuable are the caring services specially housework that is so despreciable. but so valuable.
