Only a few years ago, Alex Honnold was little known beyond a small circle of hardcore climbers. Today, at the age of 30, he is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. In that short time, he has proven his expertise in many styles of climbing and has shattered speed records, pioneered routes, and won awards within each discipline. More spectacularly still, he has pushed the most extreme and dangerous form of climbing far beyond the limits of what anyone thought was possible.

Gripped
Revisado: 03-20-19
This book is an interesting review of Honnold's path, right up to the thought of free-soloing El Cap.
It involves many of the lesser known dynamics around the climbing community, supported by stories between Alex and the other great climbers he counts as partners, peers, or even competitors.

This is the first book to chart the catalytic path of this new industry, explaining how it is and can be a positive disruptive force. It shows how impact investing is a transformational vehicle for delivering "blended value" throughout the investment spectrum, giving a single name to a set of activities previously siloed in enclaves, revealing how they are linked within what is becoming a new field of investing. Written by two leaders in the field of impact investing, the book defines this emgerging industry.

Good examples, but lots of fluff
Revisado: 01-22-19
Enjoyed the examples of successes and failures in creating impact value, but around 70% of the book is consultant-type/very high level/fluffy explanations of impact topics, e.g. innovation, impact vs Sri.

Short, but still valuable

By turns heartbreaking, hilarious, and utterly human, The House of God is a mesmerizing and provocative journey that takes us into the lives of Roy Basch and five of his fellow interns at the most renowned teaching hospital in the country.

Fantastic Narration
Revisado: 07-17-16
Picked this out without much context and no background in the world of medicine, but the narration and story was far beyond most, maybe any, other books I've listened too. Highly recommended.

Joe Simpson, with just his partner Simon Yates, tackled the unclimbed west face of the remote 21,000 foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in June of 1995. But before they reached the summit, disaster struck. A few days later, Simon staggered into base camp, exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion that Joe was dead.

Great story plot - Too much detail
Revisado: 04-17-13
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Easy listen with nonstop action makes this an enjoyable experience. However, the author's need to expand every action and detail into a full paragraph makes the story feel drawn out. All-in-all, it's an incredible and inspiring story, and if you're not nit-picky about writing styles, it's a must read.
