Heart Rending and powerful

Revisado: 08-17-17

This is tough love. To listen to this book and not avert your eyes and heart, is a difficult thing. Not because the book is not well written, it is, but because it contains some truths that are hard to hear. It is a book that is just what we need in times like these. I think that this is one of those books that should be listened to in addition to being read. The passion and voice of the author bring to life the words he has penned. I hope that recent events give us all pause and lead us to reevaluate our beliefs and actions. We have come a long way but we are not close yet. Listen to this and start the conversations, it is time.

Under the hood of an over the top crisis

Revisado: 02-15-15

A very interesting blow by blow narrative of the the last Great Recession. Mr. Geithner's unique positions, before during and after the crisis, allow him to give his side of the story. Whether or not you believe that his take is an unbiased telling, will likely be determined by you own political leanings. Never the less, one cannot help but gain a greater appreciation of the magnitude of the financial earthquake we all so recently lived through. As a recovering conservative, I felt his take was likely closer to the truth than anything we heard from the press. The counterintuitive methods used during the crisis seemed to ring true as well. History seems to be telling us that our natural instincts in an emergency are usually wrong, and the opposite course of the knee jerk reaction is a better way. I recommend this book to all, both conservative and liberal. It is always better to get the other side of the story whether you believe it or not.

Look again from a fdifferent angle.

Malcolm Gladwell is a genius. He looks at life from a different angle and gives us the ability to do the same. Good is bad. Weak is strong. Last is first. Believe it. Don't think that blond hair and blues eyes is the E-ticket. Listen to this book and you will know, you have a better chance than you thought.

People put up with a lot of bad stuff in the past!

Revisado: 10-26-13

Wow! We live in a great time. There were no, "good old days" . I thank god we did not live in the days of old, with all of the terrible things people took for granted back then. Read this book and you will be 79% happier about your life today than you were before you listened to it. Trust me!

A little slow but worth sticking it out.

Revisado: 10-26-13

The characters are unknown to many and little remembered in history but one comes away with a deep appreciation of the greatness of our country and it's amazing people. Another great history of our of the USA from a different angle.

Fill your brain with great stuff.

Revisado: 10-26-13

Sam Kean does an excellent job of making a mountain of information interesting and engaging. I think I will listen to this book three times and still not get everything in it. If you want to stretch your brain, this is the gym you need to go to.
