At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated.

This memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia Child embraced so wholeheartedly. Above all, she reveals the kind of spirit and determination, the sheer love of cooking, and the drive to share that with her fellow Americans that made her the extraordinary success she became.

Beautiful story, wish I could listen to more. The ending was a bit abrupt but it could be that the writer did not have Julia available anymore.

Must read
Revisado: 02-28-18
This is a must read for every expecting couple or parent of young children. My child is 2 and I found this book very relevant to my child rearing practices. I would even recommend that you read the first part only while pregnant and then tackle the second part when your child reaches one year old.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society.

Janis Ian was catapulted into the spotlight in 1966 at the age of 15, when her soul-wrenching song "Society's Child" became a hit. But this was only the beginning of a long and illustrious career. In Society's Child, Janis Ian provides a relentlessly honest account of the successes and failures - and the hopes and dreams - of an extraordinary life.

Revisado: 01-29-14
What did you love best about Society's Child?
I loved the parts where Janis played her own songs and filled in the story with music.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Janis
What does Janis Ian bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
You cannot read the book, it is specifically a audio book because there are musical sections incorporated with her story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I could, I would have. I was listening to it in the car... at some points I did not want to get out of my car.

Turn down the volume
Revisado: 12-17-12
What made the experience of listening to What Matters Now the most enjoyable?
The content of the book is very good. I believe the content would be very relevant and useful to MBA students. It however felt as if the reader was screaming, I got very agitated listening to his performance and continuously had to turn down the volume because he kept on raising his voice in excitement. The frustration was exacerbated by the reader's nasal tone of voice. The reader raced through his reading. I believe one need to give the listener time to think about some of the concepts and the reader rushed through them without slowing down when explaining complexities.
What three words best describe Gary Hamel’s performance?
Loud, fast, nasal

In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities.

What made the experience of listening to Predictably Irrational the most enjoyable?
Who could ever think that it is possible to turn economics into such an interesting story! The writer has found a way to explain behavioural economics through the various experiments he has conducted. It is very interesting, insightful, useful and memorable.
What about Simon Jones’s performance did you like?
Simon is an excellent reader. He read the part about the writer's childhood pain with such insight, it felt as if he was the writer.
