Francisco Carlos De Villa Soto

This is a 4 hour long sales speech, but that's OK.

Revisado: 06-12-24

What the author is selling in this long sales speech is discipline, responsability, and consistency. This book should be great for people who knows what is to be done, but cannot find the will to do it.

As the author says, the compound effect will work for or against you, so you better know which actions are the best for you, if you don't know this book will be harmful.

The only thing I would say against this book is that the success stories are very cherry picked to fit the narrative. For example the story of Apple and MP3 wining for its consistency. Sony is a better example of consistency at the MP3 and it wasn't that successful.

The audio book DOES NOT contain My further disillusionment In Russia

Revisado: 06-07-24

Maybe the audio is incomplete and doesn't not contain a book that says it contains, or maybe I wasn't listening right. How could I?.

The fact is that the audio in this book feels like an old and scratched vinyl record, it often skips or repeats phrases randomly. At first I thought this edition was censored, but no, the audio quality is very, very poor, although it sounds normal.

Such a shame about the audio quality because the books are a must read if you want to understand about anarchism.

Do yourself a favor and search for the compilations of the authors separately.

A really good overview of the fall of the Soviet union

Revisado: 03-12-24

What I didn't like was the reading, the first third of the books was read in short sentences and felt very poorly edited. They rest of the book was better, sometimes the reading was engaging, but only sometimes.

What I liked is that the author managed to recount the atrocities of the Soviet union from the beginning to the end in a clear manner. I think this book is a very good introduction to the subject of the fall of the Soviet union

Just skip the last chapter

Revisado: 08-08-23

This book does not explain much about physics, it's a history of time (So you are better off reading Stephen Hawkin's A Brief History of Time. It's better explained).
The thing that destroys the book is his final chapter, where he basically says that the world does not progress because of the farmer like minded. Which is very, very arrogant.

A new perspective on the mind of Hitler

Revisado: 08-02-23

Although the author says Hitler was fully aware of his actions the entire time and his use of drugs (not knowingly), the reading is very suggesting to the contrary. I was aware of drugs used in the WW2 by the Germans but no to the extent of what the book described, and also I learned about the drugs used in WW2, it was very interesting.

The bad thing about the reading is that the reader's voice makes you think is going to cry anytime during the reading.

A must read for understanding Nazi battles

Revisado: 07-28-23

I have listened to many many versions of what happened in WW2 and about the Nazi regime but never listened to a such well structured and well narrated version of the story. For the first time I understood the reasoning for the battles and alliances made during the period.

Just as biased as the people the author critics

Revisado: 03-20-23

The author describes a disturbing problem with reasonable arguments in the beginning but, at some point this book starts being a trial of BLM and Critical Theory authors, not because their ideas, but for their acts of propaganda.
At some point this book sounds just like books of the authors criticized, grabbing some examples and constructing a paranoic all-explaining theory of the west being in danger.
Finally, the author has a really good idea I would like to hear explained, which is the battle against individualism as a battle against the renunciation of magical thinking.

Highly bias and a misleading title

Revisado: 09-05-20

I thought this book would be a compilation of biographies of successful African American athletes, I was hoping to learn about how they found their call, who were their parents, what hobbies did they have, etc... Instead this book is like the cry of a child telling on his/her sibling, only accusations, and nothing about the athletes. This book is really hard to finish.

Nice story of a lifetime.

Revisado: 08-20-20

I did not know this person, I have never heard of him. He told the story of his life, how he became involved in the news business and I just couldn't stop listening. He has an interesting life

Overall is ok, but it's incomplete.

Revisado: 08-20-20

The beginning was really good and engaging. You could understand the reason for her to be so engaged on the phone. But then the end comes and nothing conclusive happens. Maybe there's a second part?
