Vaclav Smil's mission is to make facts matter. An environmental scientist, policy analyst, and a hugely prolific author, he is Bill Gates' go-to guy for making sense of our world. In Numbers Don't Lie, Smil answers questions such as: What's worse for the environment - your car or your phone? How much do the world's cows weigh (and what does it matter)? And what makes people happy?

Fascinating stuff, but a bit dry
Revisado: 09-05-21
There wasn’t really much of a through line. Also, constantly having to refer back to the PDF for context defeats the purpose of an audiobook and I just had a kind of assumed that the information I would’ve seen supported whatever the premise was at the time. It was still quite interesting, but I think the experience could’ve been more enjoyable with a few tweaks to the structure and the injection of just a little more sarcasm or humor.

A New York Times best-selling author of both fiction and nonfiction, Anne Lamott was also the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. As much a guide to writing as an exploration of the emotional challenges of being a writer, Bird by Bird offers a candid and often humorous look at how to tackle these varied obstacles.

A funny listen, but no writing samples to speak of

Narrator was fantastic!

Incredibly relatable. Love the sarcastic tone and I laughed out loud multiple times. It’s nice to be reminded that you aren’t the only neurotic, depressive and self conscious creative type in the world. Also, the narrator was pitch perfect casting. This has been in my TBR for a while and I’m so happy I finally got to it.
