Historia
Best-selling author Peter Kreeft presents a series of brilliant essays about many of the issues that increasingly divide our Western civilization and culture. He states that "these essays are not new proposals or solutions to today's problems. They are old. They have been tried, and have worked. They have made people happy and good. That is what makes them so radical and so unusual today. The most uncommon thing today is common sense".

Terrifyingly Insightful
Revisado: 12-04-21
Kreeft does it again with a timely and prophetic description of the ills of Western Society fr a uniquely Christian lens.

Historia
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

Scary Good
Revisado: 11-09-21
A modern classic that is scary, inventive and unfortunately prophetic. Our current world looks like it is headed to a blend of this book's thesis mixed with that of Orwell's 1984.

Good Insight but nothing new here
Revisado: 10-23-21
The insight was good and the life experience admirable. However, much of the book was repetitive and not much of anything new was added to the leadership discussion.

Historia
The Brothers Karamazov tells the stirring tale of four brothers: the pleasure-seeking, impatient Dmitri; the brilliant and morose Ivan; the gentle, loving, and honest Alyosha; and the illegitimate Smerdyakov: shy, silent, and cruel. The four unite in the murder of one of literature's most despicable characters - their father. This was Dostoevsky's final and best work.

A mix of biography and topical insights.
Revisado: 07-22-21
This was worth the time. The biographical portions were plentiful and at times redundant. the insights regarding mindset, leadership, assertiveness, safety etc are useful but not new.

Historia
“Almost all of the philosophical truths that I have come to know and understand I have learned from Aristotle,” says Mortimer J. Adler. This easy-to-listen-to exposition of Aristotle’s thoughts about nature, human actions, and the conduct of life confirms convictions that most of us hold, though we may not be fully aware of them. This is because Aristotle’s philosophical insights are grounded in the common experience we all possess and because they illuminate the common sense we all rely on.

Interesting material, dry delivery

This was a nice overview of Aristotle and his contribution to thinking. The narration was a bit dry but otherwise a useful investment of time.

How have I never heard anything about this before!? The info in this book is absolutely fascinating. This material is technical in nature. A good understanding of the biblical narrative is a pre-requisite for getting the most out of this book.
