Simple Is Good

Revisado: 04-11-14

What made the experience of listening to Insanely Simple the most enjoyable?

Stories about Steve Jobs and Apple

What other book might you compare Insanely Simple to and why?

Walter Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs. Insanely Simple is a good supplement to it, a more detailed take on Steve's decision making.

What does Ken Segall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The confidence in narration. Probably because he's narrating a life he lived and wrote.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Here's To The Crazy Ones.

Any additional comments?

Good stories on management and business strategy. Give this a try even if you despite Apple for whatever reason. This could be the Insanely Simple reason to change your mind.

Steve Ballmer. It's... quite apt.

Good Guide to History of the Mind

Revisado: 03-19-14

If you could sum up The Future of the Mind in three words, what would they be?

Geeky, intellectually satisfying.

What did you like best about this story?

The wholeness of it. Instead of just fact dropping, Michio Kaku guides you through a tour of scientifically accurate history of our mind.

Have you listened to any of Feodor Chin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, but this is a good listen. At times my brain played tricks and I thought it was Michio Kaku narrating it, not Feodor Chin.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Telling the future by recounting the past".

I'm rubbish at this.

Any additional comments?

I bought this audiobook because I'm a fan of Michio Kaku. If you love science, especially in regards of bio-physic, you will love this.

Listening to this again in 2021

Revisado: 03-07-14

And I will listen to this again soon, the next time I come across any Anthony Bourdain reference unexpectedly. This, along with Kitchen Confidential, is how I will remember him.
