Hreat food for thought

Revisado: 01-19-23

This is a very reductionist approach to the thought process of determinism and free will. The author tries to bring everything together at the end, but I'm not sure that that's even possible.

Mostly sales literature

Revisado: 01-02-21

Most of this book is focused on selling a relatively expensive rubber band exercise system and supplements. While many of the methodologies promoted have some empirical evidence, most of it is not particularly new in the science of bodybuilding, body recompostioning, and diet. The primary accomplishment here is to rebrand it, though there is some value to having the information all "under one roof".

The narration is generally good with the exception of horrific mispronunciations of some of the terminology. in a couple of spots, I had to back up and listen again in an attempt.to identify the word that was verbally slaughtered. Eventually, the mispronunciations began to become a form of entertainment.

Overall, I can neither recommend the book nor discourage it's reading. There are important concepts here that are of value. Just don't join a cult.

Green's Most Interesting Work

Revisado: 06-28-20

I found this book eminently engaging, prodigiously well-written, and deeply thought-provoking. Brian clearly puts a great deal of effort into clarity of thought.

This book is the most philosophical one he's written, in my opinion. He unapologetically leaves the rigid walls of pure science in some parts to offer speculations that shake the mind from its monotonous slumber. He humbly brings the reader back within the box of reality while offering counter views to counter views and lamenting the lack of evidence.

I enjoy most the enthusiasm for discovery that Greene brings to his work. It lifts me from despair of the mundane to a world more wonderful, more majestic than those described in the most imaginative fiction.

If you like Brian Greene, you'll love this book.

Excellent!!

Revisado: 06-10-18

This was very well organized, clear, and well-laid-out. Rovelli navigated the esoteric waters of perceptions, quantum gravity, and physics to present a masterful exposition of a subject humans have struggled with for eons. Cumberbatch's presentation was impeccable.

Well-informed but short on detai

Revisado: 09-30-16

This book is a good overview of the technology but lacks much depth. Some specific examples of dictation, setting up for dictation, and approach to keeping it flowing would be great additions to the next edition. This is a good read for someone new to dictation or someone trying to decide wjether or not to make the jump.

While I've read much if this many times, this book provided a different perspective that helped me understand things a bit better.
