Historia
A razor-sharp thinker offers a new understanding of our post-truth world and explains the American instinct to believe in make-believe, from the Pilgrims to P. T. Barnum to Disneyland to zealots of every stripe...to Donald Trump. In this sweeping, eloquent history of America, Kurt Andersen demonstrates that what's happening in our country today - this strange, post-factual, "fake news" moment we're all living through - is not something entirely new, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character and path.

Awful. Repettive.
Revisado: 02-02-25
He bashes all things religion and then does it repeatedly for almost 19 hours. It’s awful even for an atheist that can perhaps nod along in agreement. This book could have been a text message that reads “religions are based on crazy ideas and other people have crazy ideas too.” Don’t waste your time or money.

Historia
Twenty-seven-year-old rapper, songwriter, and producer Russ walks his own path, at his own pace. By doing so, he proved that he didn’t need a major label to surpass over a billion streams on Spotify/Apple Music, sell out arenas across the US and around the globe, and become one of the most popular and engaged rappers right now. His method was simple: love and believe in yourself absolutely and work hard no matter what. In this memoir, Russ inspires listeners to walk to their individual rhythms.

Historia
The first oral biography of John F. Kennedy Jr. is an extraordinarily intimate, comprehensive look at the real man behind the myth. Sharing never-before-told stories and insights, his closest friends, confidantes, lovers, classmates, teachers, and colleagues paint a vivid portrait of one of the most beloved figures of the 20th century, revealing how the boy who saluted became the man America came to know and love who still captures public imagination twenty-five years after his tragic death.

Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

He’s full of BS
Revisado: 04-05-24
I don’t like him. I heard this book was good. He’s clearly embellishing and lying. It makes the other parts not great. I finally stopped listening when he told the story of the olive skinned beauty (his future wife) that he apparently sort of tricked or arranged into staying overnight at his house when she clearly said she wanted to go home. He’s a thespian that is full of him self. He’s performing here. Badly.

With drills and a captivating allegorical style, The Pickleball Guru uses case studies and personal examples to teach you the difference between just "getting the ball over the net" and playing smart. This book is a pause-resister and will have you eager to get back out on the courts to practice what you learned.

Writing this book apparently was an exercise in the “guru” author stroking his own ego. Admittedly though his wife wrote it? That’s what he says in the book. Chapters are peppered with quotes the author reads of his student praising him. The first five chapters are wind up talking about what he’s gonna talk about.
There are obvious nuggets in there that qualify as “smart pickleball” advice-obvious stuff YouTube videos all say. But it’s not worth the time suffering through the author stroking his own ego.

Terrible
Revisado: 02-15-23
This book is based on so many false premises. For example, an atom does not appear, unless someone is looking at it. Therefore, we can change the physical world. Therefore, we can change our mind. Wut? And he goes downhill from there. It’s complete and utter hogwash.

Historia
Life has a way of provoking us with traffic jams and computer malfunctions, with emotionally distant partners and crying children—and before we know it, we're upset. We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chödrön. It is possible to relate constructively to the inevitable shocks, losses, and frustrations of life so that we can find true happiness. The key, Pema explains, is not biting the "hook" of our habitual responses.

It’s a talk that got recorded. This is sold as a book, not a lady’s free flow talking. A book is prepared edited. This isn’t worth nearly as much to me. A scam.

Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means.

Interesting book with terrible narration.
Revisado: 10-18-22
The narration is just awful. The first 5-6 chapters are apparently read by someone given horse tranquilizers who is trying to emulate the cadence and style of a sixth grader unwillingly reading aloud in a classroom. I couldn’t wait to get this book and start it. With 5 hours left on this 20 hour torture session I have stabbed out my eyes with a fork and hence rely on this awful performance to consume this interesting book lest I waste one Audible credit. The narrator switched for a couple chapters and was poorly dubbed but provided relief. But then it switches back to the author apparently. Her presentation is the audible version of a professional’s poker face meant to convey no emotion, emphasis, nor anything that may lie beneath the surface. It is genuinely painful to listen to. The worst narration ever. Ever in the history of mankind. Love the topic though.

Historia
When producer Ira Rosen walked into the 60 Minutes offices in June 1980, he knew he was about to enter television history. His career catapulted him to the heights of TV journalism, breaking some of the most important stories in TV news. But behind the scenes was a war room of clashing producers, anchors, and the most formidable 60 Minutes figure: legendary correspondent Mike Wallace.

I really enjoyed this. Any person that watched 60 minutes back when should enjoy this story. I really enjoyed the insight. The book and performance are top shelf. Thanks.
