Revealing, Humorous, Controversial

Revisado: 11-17-23

This narrative weaves between the real history of events most of us learned as basically fair tales, history that is amazing but never taught, and rants that are Malcolm X in feeling (think if Malcolm X wrote Lies My Teacher Told Me). But, hey, it's "Black AF History", so true to name. Stirring, insightful, at times amazing, and others little over the top. But I don't regret the ride.

Heartfelt

Revisado: 09-02-23

Read by the author, which is usually a concern. (No one can be great at everything.) But that is not at all a bad thing here. No one else could portray the human events with their full meaning and heartfelt impact. Half biography, half medical mystery. Well worth the time to listen, even if the mystery isn't completely solved. Perhaps the story will inspire more to work on such mysteries.

A Dichotomy

Revisado: 11-10-22

Loved it and hated it, but mostly loved. The topic is incredibly fascinating and illuminating. The book is long, but the first 4 or 5 chapters are a revelation of insight on hemispheres and brain function. The following chapters do a very good job supporting the thesis, but I find tremendously dense and difficult to get through. DON'T skip this book though. Even if you don't get though the whole thing, those first chapters are absolutely worth the effort!

Entertaining & Educational

Revisado: 05-12-22

Although maybe a bit of a dry topic for most, the people's character makes the whole thing an exploration you follow along with.

The writers unfortunately know nothing about it

This is really a poor synopsis of the 2007 mortgage crisis, not the Fed. It's only 5 min., but I had to stop halfway through at the phrase this caused a deflationary spiral that threatened business. Tell me, how would buying more with the same amount of money and your employees buying more with the same salary threaten a business...

Some parts are a bit slow but overall interesting!

Revisado: 04-29-21

This book covers Mr. Carnegie's entire life. I particular liked listened about his childhood, early years, and parts of how he came to own so many businesses. Though the latter half of the book is a bit slower. I think he had a bit of good luck probably riding a massive industrial expansion in the US, so views are sometimes possibly a little rosey but still an insightful and fascinating life.

Surprised, in a good way.

Revisado: 02-03-20

Not your average comedy. Adam recounts bits of his life in connected short stories. I wasn't sure if I'd even enjoy that, but I'm giving it 5 stars and even telling me wife she should listen. Excellent!

Interesting Listen

Revisado: 12-11-19

Interesting although maybe not insightful. Entertaining with fun thought experiments regardless. Well worth the listen.

Worth the show start

Revisado: 12-06-19

It felt slow to me at the start, and I almost stopped listening. Keep going. It's worth it. Good companion to More Money than God.

Good, but at times a little self-righteous

Revisado: 12-20-18

a lot of good commentary. I found much of this to be very true. At times the authors seem to mistake their good fortune on being the front of a bubble as purely their own talent. But overall very good story.
