Historia
A mysterious object has appeared out in the snow. Gibbs and Cline are mesmerized. They can’t discern its exact shape and color, nor if it’s moving or fixed in place. But it is there. Isn’t it? Whatever it might be, Hart thinks the thing in the snow is an unwelcome distraction, and probably a huge waste of time. Though, come to think of it, time itself has been a bit wonky lately. Weekends pass in a blur, and he can hardly tell day from night. Gravity seems less-than-reliable. The lights have been flickering weirdly, and he feels an odd thrumming sensation in his beard.

Historia
Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It’s not that he hates his friends and family — he’s not a monster — he’s just beat, which is why his son’s (ruthless) first full sentence, “I’d like to play alone, please,” has since become his mantra.

there are very interesting nuggets throughout this book however it tends to skew towards one particular group or another as opposed to a broad range of topics.

As someone in HR this is a best case scenario book
Revisado: 11-18-22
the book is fine and probably for individuals stepping into leadership or human resource type roles for the first time there's a lot to digest but for anyone that has been in these types of roles for even a year it's repetitive information

Historia
It's typical to be burdened, frustrated, and easily triggered today. Feeling trapped in finances, work, or relationships isn’t remarkable, either. Most folks have lost a sense of peace, playfulness, and any semblance of order and simplicity. But the middle is no place for someone of your caliber. You're Too Good to Feel This Bad, and you know it.

Historia
Nate and Kaley Klemp were both successful in their careers, consulting for high-powered companies around the world. Their work as mindfulness and leadership experts, however, often fell to the wayside when they came home in the evening, only to end up fighting about fairness in their marriage. They believed in a model where each partner contributed equally and fairness ruled, but, in reality, they were finding that balance near impossible to achieve. From this frustration, they developed the idea of the 80/80 marriage, a new model for balancing career, family, and love.

Repetitive but meaningful

The moral of the story is to just continue to give more to turn the other cheek to ask what more you can do for them.

Historia
The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the “New Germany,” she has one affair after another....

longer than needed
Revisado: 05-25-21
good story but man was it a bit longer than it needed to be. Even at 1.6x it was a slog after chapter 22.
I like the author the material is somewhat chilling given recent events but way way too long.
