Our story tonight is called Pies and Pinecones, and it’s a story about an upcoming adventure dreamt up in front of a fire. It’s also about a drawing spotted in the paper, a fence with a shared gate between yards, deep breaths, a shelf full of cookbooks, and delicious plans. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Movember Foundation; they are more than mustaches, folks. They are taking on men’s physical, emotional, and mental health globally. Preorder your own NMH weighted pillow now! Subscribe for ad-free, bonus, and extra-long episodes now,...

In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in the country, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America. Pundits and politically motivated economists trumpet ambiguous statistics and sensational theories while ignoring the true determinant of income inequality: the production of wealth.

The economics education you didn't get!

I was shocked and intrigued by the information presented throughout. I am an educated senior but I was ignorant to the context of much of what I had believed was true. Thomas Dowell has blown my mind!

Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.

A very exceptional book
Revisado: 05-30-20
One of the most powerful, honest, provocative books I have had the pleasure of reading. in a very long time. It started out so quietly I had no idea how deeply moving it would become A little slow to get.momentum but full of surprises. That slow development matched the storyline perfectly and made the resolution all the sweeter for the patient reader.

From the beginning, Geneen Roth was told she was too sensitive, too emotional, too curious, too demanding, too intense, and too big. Yet gaining and losing weight for decades did not improve her self-worth or reduce other people's criticisms. Like most women who struggle with their weight, she believed that if she could resolve what seemed to be the source of her self-hatred - how and what she ate - she would be thin, happy, and free. That belief, she discovered, was false.

So honest about the never tending and distracting struggle toward wisdom and enlightenment. This is a gift we can embrace and consume joyfully with full heart!

Gorgeous word pictures!
Revisado: 06-26-15
This is classic story retold within a new context of time and place. Magic and mysticism play counterpoint to heartbreaking naturalism. There are many places where the prose borders on poetry!

At first glance, Josh Hanagarne seems an improbable librarian. He stands 6'7", competes in strongman contests, and was diagnosed in high school with Tourette's syndrome. But books are his first love - Josh's earliest memories involve fantastic adventures between the pages of Gulliver’s Travels and a passionate infatuation with Fern from Charlotte’s Web. Everything in Josh’s life - from his Mormon upbringing, to finally finding love, to learning to control his tics through lifting - circles back to a close connection with books.

A unique story honestly told
Revisado: 06-18-15
I found the story irresistible because I too have always felt the library to be my second home. As a mental health professional I was also very curious to learn more about Tourette's from a first hand account. As an active Latter-day Saint, I could also identify with his experiences within our faith community and was moved by his honesty and compassion when describing his struggles with family and faith. His style and unique way of organizing his experiences through the Dewey Decimal system was fresh and intriguing. He is a funny guy, whether describing himself or the quirky patrons of the Salt Lake City Public Library.
I gave the narrator only 4 stars because he didn't do his homework in pronouncing the unique Book of Mormon name, "Nephites,' using a short "E" sound rather than the proper long sound. A small mistake but grating and it could have been easily avoided. Other than that, I loved his
voice, pacing and style and felt that Josh could have been telling his own story, without that darned Tourette's, of course!
I recommend this story to anyone who, like Josh, is passionate about the power of books to change lives, and loves a memoir that allows you to really see a life well-lived through the eyes of another very human being,
