In 2005, Ed Levine was a freelance food writer with an unlikely dream: to control his own fate and create a different kind of food publication. He wanted to unearth the world's best bagels, the best burgers, the best hot dogs - the best of everything edible. To build something for people like him who took everything edible seriously, from the tasting menu at Per Se and omakase feasts at Nobu down to mass-market candy, fast food burgers, and instant ramen.

I really loved the story and am glad that Ed Levine shared the path in which he took starting and hustling within his business. It has many lessons for everyone, especially those in digital publishing.
It was, however, a little long in the middle leading up to the end. It felt as though the story was just repeating itself and while I'm sure relevant lead me to lose attention and interest in the story.
Glad I listen though.

Feeling stuck in his work and home life, writer Jeff Gordinier happened into a fateful meeting with Danish chef René Redzepi, whose restaurant, Noma, has been called the best in the world. A restless perfectionist, Redzepi was at the top of his game but was looking to tear it all down, to shutter his restaurant and set out for new places, flavors, and recipes. This is the story of the subsequent four years of globe-trotting culinary adventure, with Gordinier joining Redzepi as his Sancho Panza.

I was left wondering if Rene was depressed?
Revisado: 10-03-19
I love the drive Rene has to continue to innovate and reinvent. I resonate with it, which inspires me to keep moving forward myself, taking big risks. However, at parts, the way Jeff Gordinier writes about it Redzepi you are left wondering if he is actually sick or depressed. And this is not to say I didn't immensely enjoy the book, I just ended up being worried about the guy. In the day and age where mental health is at the forefront, it seems like Redzepi is on a path where he will eventually collapse. I truly hope not, but I also hope that if that is the case he gets the help he needs or finds peace somewhere along the way.

It didn't lose my attention in the first 5 minutes
Revisado: 02-12-18
Any additional comments?
This was a surprisingly good book to listen to while working and running. I didn't have high hopes for it, while I'm really interested in the topic matter other books I've found have been quite dry. This was a good mix of case studies and practical information about habits, willpower and archiving goals. It solidified for me many of the methods I use to adopt new habits and taught me some new ones. It will definitely be a book that I'll listen to again.

This is the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of the creation and growth of Airbnb, the online lodging platform that has become, in under a decade, the largest provider of accommodations in the world. At first just the wacky idea of cofounders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott.

I enjoyed the story but I especially enjoyed how it went into the controversy of the company.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Would you try another book from Chris Brogan and Julien Smith and/or Chris Brogan and Julien Smith ?
Yes, probably.
What does Chris Brogan and Julien Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
While both these men are smart and successful I find their books very hyped with a lot of filler and little actual tangible material that is that much different from any other type of book from the same category.

She's Crazy
Revisado: 08-05-14
If you could sum up Serena in three words, what would they be?
Don't Marry Her.
Would you recommend Serena to your friends? Why or why not?
While I find the story interesting I find there isn't much to the ending of it. It just suddenly ends so while I liked it, it might not be something I'd recommend.
