Walking Gentry Home tells the story of Alora Young’s ancestors, from the unnamed women forgotten by the historical record but brought to life through Young’s imagination; to Amy, the first of Young’s foremothers to arrive in Tennessee, buried in an unmarked grave, unlike the white man who enslaved her and fathered her child; through Young’s great-grandmother Gentry, unhappily married at fourteen; to her own mother, the teenage beauty queen rejected by her white neighbors.

Simply Amazing Work of Art
Revisado: 08-28-22
I don't know what to say other than this book leaves me speechless. I think that this young woman is 19 years old it's just hard to comprehend. this book is written in poetry and listening to it is definitely a different experience than reading it.
In sports they say that "if everyone could play like Jordan, everyone would". I say that if anyone else could write this way someone else would have. This is a work of art that tells a story. Do yourself a favor and just listen.

Ben Horowitz offers essential advice on building and running a startup - practical wisdom for managing the toughest problems business school doesn’t cover, based on his popular ben’s blog. While many people talk about how great it is to start a business, very few are honest about how difficult it is to run one. The Hard Thing About Hard Things is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures, drawing from Horowitz’s personal and often humbling experiences.

great books for every entrepreneur and CEO
Revisado: 07-31-18
having red many business books I wasn't sure that I was really up for another one. After having this book recommended by several people I finally decided to read it and I'm really glad that I did. The story and the way the story is discussed is easy to follow and easy to relate to for anyone that has been a CEO. One of the better better business books that I have read.

Very good book. Not totally new.

Was a good book but have heard many of the principal's in other books. Recommend for tech startups and that don't want to read the 5 other books that have similar messages.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Much better than I expected.

I kind of saw this as a millennial view on much of Napoleon Hill's philosophy. focus on what's important and let the rest go.

The book everyone else steals from
Revisado: 02-04-17
Listening to this book, I kept thinking that I have heard much of this before. Then thought about when this was written and realized that many other business authors have simply reworded much of what he said. Simply ahead of his time. Like Napoleon Hill, Carnagie, is essential reading for anyone interested in business.

When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.
