Painfully boring, though good information included

This book has a lot of information about all of the US generations, and there is a lot of good information in it. The problem is that the writing style/narration pretty much just lists off facts and doesn't do much to help tie everything together.

After listening to the full book, it's hard to think of what the biggest takeaways are. I mostly have a collection of random facts and the basic summary of the fourth turning that many political commentators have talked about.

If you already agree with the thesis of the book, you will probably learn a couple of more useful pieces of context to make you feel more informed. However, if you don't believe it or want to provide a useful resource to persuade someone you know, this book is not going to be satisfactory.

It also time locks itself by making such a large focus on Trump's elections in 2016 and 2020. It's obvious that the author is a standard boomer con, and he uses a lot of this short book to make broader political points and pick on various specific politicians on the left.

Solid history, but narrator and writing style make it tough to sink in

There is a lot of good info in the book, but unfortunately the narrator will put you to sleep and make you glaze over important info that you need to play back to catch. The writing style doesn't always do well to tell a compelling story that you can't stop listening to either.

My only complaint is that this was written as a series, so now I have to wait a long time to continue it.

For a book that's nearly 60 hours long and covers so much, you will often need to pause it and look up certain events to get a better basic understanding, as the author sometimes breezes through key details. I learned a lot from this book, though that comes with a big caveat.

Ideally, a historic book on nazi Germany would provide their perspective to help you understand why and how they did what they did. It's clear that the author holds a great dislike for the main subjects of the book, and this leads to him making it seem like they're just crazy bigots. This is completely unhelpful in attempting to learn from history and identify patterns in present day and other historical periods.

This book is considered a Bible on the topic in Allied nations, and the saying "history is written by the victors" applies here. It's useful to hear this detailed history from the Victor's perspective, but this is NOT a complete history that leaves the reader understanding all necessary basic details.

There are some useful stories from actual births showing what often goes wrong and what can be done to make things go right.

Beyond that, the author is unbearable to listen to as she constantly contradicts herself, shows herself to be a hypocrite, and goes back and forth from talking about how she's a victim/survivor to how she's so privileged because she's white.

There is a constant pattern of her talking about how she'd correct people for how they view birthing practices to demeaning when people push back on her. She uses at least a quarter of the book to lecture on woke grievance studies and make points that contradict herself.

After talking about how badly she was treated, she claims that when non white people get treated bad, it's racism. The most horrifying story in the book happened to a white woman, but she didn't make that connection. She also reads out stats showing that Latinas have better survival rates than white women, then argues that white supremacy is responsible for the difference in rates by race.

As you'd figure, the author constantly refers to mothers as "birthing persons". The book is not a useful guide for pregnant women, but rather a collection of personal stories sandwiched by woke university racial theory.

The only redeeming thing about this book is that it points out a real problem with hospital births that is counter establishment. As others catch on and put together their own books and guides, this will quickly fall to the bottom of the pile.

This book is mostly just Tulsi ripping apart the Democrat party with minimal criticism of Republicans, especially the MAGA wing. I happen to agree with a lot of it and know most of the stories that she references, but unfortunately her references often don't go into much detail, making this book less useful as a persuasive tool.

If I were looking for a book to convince a Democrat friend to reconsider, I wouldn't choose this one even though it had great potential given Tulsi's background.

I still give it 4 stars since she does reference a lot of good examples in recent history and tells some stories that I hadn't heard before and found interesting.

This is essentially just a long twitter thread of positive things to do with your son. while many are good and worthwhile, the lack of underlying principles makes this book age poorly over time and doesn't help as new challenges and opportunities come up.

I expected this book to just be a super deep dive into the origins of covid and how top scientists have attempted a cover up. In addition to it doing a great job of this, RFK also goes into great historical depth about mad scientists studying bioweapons (Nuremberg and Japan). I learned a lot more than I thought I would from this book.

The title makes it sound like it could be more of a memior or biography, but the book itself is a very detailed explanation of pricing strategies and how they can succeed or fail. This book is full of essential business knowledge that is often overlooked or given too little consideration. Any company that hosts a book club should select this title and brainstorm changes based on what they learn.
