Shoji Morimoto was constantly being told by his boss, "It makes no difference whether you’re here or not," and that his presence contributed nothing to the company. Morimoto began to wonder whether a person who "does nothing" could still have actual value and a place in the world. Perhaps he could turn "doing nothing" into a service? With one tweet, Rental Person was born.

Charming, easy little read that speaks to how we're wired as social mammals. Made me wonder if being a rental person could become an actual profession.

In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Tracy Kidder’s magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease. Profound, Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people’s minds through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity.”

Great book, beautifully read.

The 10+ hours of this book flew by. I was surprised when it ended. Kidder has a gift for engaging g the reader/listener, and the narrator is fantastic, lending characterization to the different voices.without seeming overly affected. A warning: this listen is making me seriously rethink my life priorities. You likely WILL feel guilty while listening. This is, I believe, part of the author's intent, and Dr Farmer's.

not for beginners, but loving it
Revisado: 09-05-19
*the narrator is delightful*... this could be deadly dull, but she delivers with a kind of tongue in cheek drama that makes it easy to keep going. occasionally the example sentences have made me chuckle aloud (mostly due to her delivery, but some of the sentences are cute in and of themselves). the example sentences use idiomatic phrases that aren't always covered in more standard material.
I dont think this will make much sense to complete beginners, but as an intermediate student (B1-B2) I am enjoying it. this really truly is a list that appears to have been generated by a computer which analyzed single word frequencies from newspapers and television shows, with no further analysis. thus, different conjugations of the same verb are listed as separate words. slang terms , up to and including f bombs, are on the list. the word "York", as in Nueva York," makes the list somewhere in the 600s (nueva came in earlier). it's an interesting approach overall. recommended.
