Historia
Numbers. Like the alphabet, they’re one of the most elementary of concepts learned and memorized at a young age; but outside of figuring out tips and taxes, you probably haven’t given much thought to them since then. To a mathematician, every number has its own unique properties and personality - and when studied, played with, and manipulated, numbers can actually be tons of fun.

Revisado: 05-05-22
This audiobook is an excellent listen—both informative and entertaining.
I have always loved numbers and mathematics, but I don't think I could ever be as excited and passionate as the author is about the subject. He has found a way to take a topic that many feel is straight-laced and uninteresting and make it exciting and entertaining. I enjoyed learning as I listened.
This title is a perfect listen for anyone curious about the fantastic properties of numbers and how they work together. It is worth the listen just for the entertainment value alone. I highly recommend this book.

Historia
Take stock of your life: Based on your last 30 days of work (or marriage, or parenting), would your company rehire you? Would your partner immediately recommit to you? Would your children want you to continue to be their parent? The easy answer is, "Absolutely!" But it's probably not the honest answer. Your life might read like a success story, and your parents and friends might even think you have it all figured out, but you have a secret: You feel out of place in your own life. You'd rather binge-watch Netflix than think about what's next. You're living on autopilot.

Revisado: 05-01-22
This listen was one of the freshest I have had in a long time. The author shares easy and pragmatic ways to change perspective and determine what is most important in our lives. Lots of simple (not to he confused with easy) ways to take action and move forward.
I highly recommend this listen for anyone feeling stuck in their life, or anyone just looking for some fresh inspiration.

Historia
Most children go through a dinosaur phase. Learning all the tongue-twisting names, picking favourites based on ferocity, armour, or sheer size. For many kids this love of ‘terrible lizards’ fizzles out at some point between starting and leaving primary school. All those fancy names slowly forgotten, no longer any need for a favourite. For all those child dino fanatics who didn’t grow up to become paleontologists, dinosaurs seem like something out of mythology. They are dragons, pictures in books, abstract, other, extinct.

I enjoyed the entertaining way in which this book was presented. Ben kept me listening and enjoying the material as I absorbed it. There was a logical flow to the information, and it was easy to understand. I ended up learning far more than I anticipated. I especially enjoyed some of the interview snippets with the experts.
Well done. I recommend this listen to anyone interested in getting a good, high-level overview of the world of dinosaurs.

Pertinent, and A Lot to Work On
Revisado: 01-10-22
I thoroughly enjoyed this listen, and I am putting the techniques and suggestions into practice in my life. The concepts here are not complicated, and many are not new to me, but they are presented in such a way that I now feel I have a better understanding and new insights into them. The information is pragmatic and engaging. I feel completely motivated to take action on this information.
The book was a pleasure to listen to, from the pleasant voice of the author to the pacing of the presentation. The information was clear and easy to understand.
If you are looking to take steps to live a better life, I highly recommend this listen to get you started.

Historia
As statistics tell us that most of the "ventureholics" who go out on their own to start a business will ultimately fail; and, as readers will learn, the main reason for this is because most businesses are not started the right way. Based on decades of experience working with small business owners, Michael Gerber will teach budding entrepreneurs his one-of-a-kind seven-step method - which is meant to be conceptualized long before the doors are ever opened.

A Perfect Message for Me
Revisado: 01-08-22
This book's message was delivered perfectly and was exactly what I needed to hear. It was like Michael had known me for many years and knew exactly what I was missing.
The messages in the book are presented in such a way as to make them easy to understand by almost everyone. Some concepts go beyond conventional thinking, which is exactly where I am.
I have read several books by the author, and I have always appreciated the thoughts they present and provoke in me. My previous reading was, perhaps, at the wrong time for me, but this book spoke to me. It is time for me to go back and read some of the other titles by this author.
Of course, as is expected in a book that was published a while ago, the web links referred to in the book no longer lead where they were originally intended to go, if they still exist, but that is just a minor inconvenience.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start a business or to make an existing business something extraordinary in our world.

Nothing new here
Revisado: 12-06-21
I found this to just be a rehash of ideas and concepts that I have heard many times before...other than the failure of basic mathematic in the 100 person village discussion. That was good for a chuckle, and caused me to question the other content in the book.
Perhaps I have studied more deeply into this type of content than I realize, or perhaps this book truly has little to offer.
If you have read fairly extensively in the field of motivation, I wouldn't recommend this book. There are better uses for your 5+ hours.

This audiobook provides some good general information. It is easy to understand and is presented in a logical fashion.
My only disappointment is that I don't find the often mentioned pdf.

Historia
Everything we now know about the universe - from the behavior of quarks to the birth of galaxies - has come from people who've been willing to ponder the unanswerable. And with the advent of modern science, great minds have turned to testing and experimentation rather than mere thought as a way of grappling with some of the universe's most vexing dilemmas. So what is our latest picture of some of the most inexplicable features of the universe? What still remains to be uncovered and explored by today's scientists?

"The Universe is in us!"
- De Kristi R. en 01-05-15
An Excellent Listen.
Revisado: 07-02-21
Neil deGrasse Tyson has long been a favorite of mine. His ability to take a complicated topic and distill it into easily understandable language for the layperson is truly a gift to all of us.
In this book, as always, he delivers the material with enthusiasm that keeps the listener absorbed in what he is saying, and allows us to become curious to learn more.
If all, or even some, of our teachers could teach the way he does, we would raise a generation of people who would move our world forward in ways we cannot imagine. He encourages independent thought.
Well done. I highly recommend this listen for anyone.
