Overall very good book, but not perfect.

As a doctor the author stakes out positions that more testing is better, in general. Downplays the downsides of false positives. The book is chock full of good science, advice, and thoughts. Not sure why he threw in the mental health part at the end, but to each their own. Would read again.

A very interesting and chilling analysis

We had better wake up to what made this world a better place. Revisionist history and woke ideologies are bringing us to the brink of disaster. A refreshing and well-documented review of the slow erosion of western values and commerce.

Inspiration meets Insecurity

Revisado: 03-22-23

this is a fantastic book. What David Goggins has overcome in his life is inspirational and should make any of us stop and think. The first three chapters and last two are amazing. The middle of the book drags a little. Worth the purchase in any event.

If you really want to lose weight, this is pretty much the bible. Beyond being a perfectly sensible and well-researched book, the things you must do to maintain your weight and lose weight are pretty damned simple and easy. Your metabolism IS a problem. You CAN fix it. This is the one book you need if weight is your issue. Dozens of other good books, but this is the central one, once and for all. “AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”

Any additional comments?

The authors do a very good job of outlining the way in which the extreme left vilify their opponents, even stooping to destroy individual citizens that do not follow political correctness. A very sad story of how things are today. Thankfully, folks like the authors are striking back by exposing the truth to the lies. Thank you.

Breathtaking evil. Eye opening!

Revisado: 10-19-15

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The absolute corruption of the Russian geopolitical machine, and the very sickening depths to which Vladimir Putin would go to enrich himself.

Any additional comments?

If you have any interest in geopolitical happenings involving Russia, this is a must read. It is gripping. The first 25 percent of the book is dry, but important background. After this, it takes off and I found myself having a hard time "putting it down". I was horrified by the lengths to which the Russian ruling class will pursue and destroy those who threaten them in any way. Very disgusting. These are truly awful people, and this will open your eyes to Vladimir Putin and his inner circle and their unconscionable ways. This is a great book, and a very sad tale.

A surprisingly exceptional piece of work.

If you could sum up The Silencing in three words, what would they be?

Gutsy. Truth. Surprise.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

Ms. Powers is brutally honest about the silencing by the "illiberal left" of their opponents. She doesn't pull too many punches, and doesn't give the right wing a pass either.

Any additional comments?

I have to count this among one of the best political-oriented books I've ever read. It is very well researched and the author brings a very high level of credibility to the subject. I am most impressed by the author's courage and authenticity and absolutely shocked by the material she presents. This comes from the perspective of the classic liberal, sharing a good number of principles with the libertarian, and she does a very good job of exposing the hypocrisy and outright fraud of the "illiberal left". I am so blown away by this book, I will now be following Ms. Powers on twitter to see what else she has to say.

This is an easy book to recommend for anyone who would like to be a bit more informed about the value of the first amendment and the duplicity of those who would rip out its heart at the feet of their ideological idols. Bravo Kirsten Powers! Will be looking for the next book by this author.

Would you consider the audio edition of Running Like a Girl to be better than the print version?

I think hearing this book in the accent of the reader adds to the experience.

Any additional comments?

Very fun and inspirational book. My wife and I listened together and we both enjoyed it. For anyone thinking about running a longer race (man or woman), this book is informative, useful, and very fun. Inspiring and educational. Well worth the read, and easy to recommend.

Any additional comments?

Wow. My wife isn't huge into audiobooks (I am), but she absolutely loved this book. We both did. This is an easy non-fiction book that is inspirational and thought-provoking while being also highly entertaining. Excellent read, and easy to recommend.
