Good parts and not so good parts

Revisado: 09-17-24

I found it has good content and also thought-provoking but also quite challenging in several areas. The book presents its claims with limited sourcing, which raises questions about the evidence supporting its arguments. Additionally, the text often overlooks the diversity of expert opinions on its topics. Educators and scholars may have differing views, and it would be helpful to explore these counterpoints to provide a more balanced perspective.

Of particular concern is the treatment of homosexuality within the book. It portrays homosexuality in a manner that seems to pathologize it or suggest it needs treatment, which contradicts contemporary understanding and acceptance. This perspective is inconsistent with the compassion and inclusivity often associated with Catholic teachings.

Furthermore, the book appears to be inconsistent in its discussion of gender roles. On one hand, it emphasizes traditional male and female roles as prescriptive, while on the other, it advocates for allowing children to pursue their individual talents, regardless of traditional gender expectations. This contradiction may confuse readers about the book’s stance on gender and talent development.

Overall, while the book raises important issues, its approach may benefit from a more nuanced and evidence-based perspective. I really like the religious perspective and the tips to grow strong confident boys.

Me encantaría que la autora hubiera leído el audiolibro para conocer la voz que pensó en el libro.
Gracias por esta aventura y para comprender a las emociones de cada actor.

Choose not to be a victim

Revisado: 01-31-24

Own the past whatever that has been we can’t change it but we can choose to live the future and the present. This book motivated me to put my wants into my own and not others. Enjoy what I have.
Thank you for your story, very amazing explaining it without details about religion yet is everything that many religions tell us to do.
Thank you thank you

I should have read the reviews…

Revisado: 02-26-22

The title is, as the author says, a “marketing stunt” as it spends less than half of the book on the topic and is n that half, it doesn’t go into enough detail to be called only “quantum computers”.
It is a great survey of how computers work from birth until now but is not a book about quantum computers.
It would receive 4 stars if the title would have been written more according to the content.

Very informative and good technical and business reading

Revisado: 02-16-22

Great way to express the value of what connects us to our electricity.
My only two points of feedback are;
1. Explanation of electricity can use some work to make it more similar to other forms of energy like kinetic, thermal, etc.
2. Wireless as a future is not expanded and the efficiency of the transmission is quite low so it should not be mentioned and kept unexplained.

Great wish it had more of…

Revisado: 11-24-21

Wish it covered more ethical issues when blitzscaling and what are good guardrails to do this in a way that takes the environment, mental health, equality and diversity as part of the model. Most of the book is to maximize profits only which is good but not the only measure of success. There is one section about non-profits and that could have been a lot longer.
In a way, it remind me of Dr. Seuss the Lorax

Inspirado de escucharlo

Revisado: 09-17-21

Combinar la novela con hechos históricos es como se debió de haber enseñado historia a todos nosotros. Precioso poder aprender de la cultura, de la vida, de los dictadores y guerras y como se sintieron desde cada uno de esos personajes.
Gracias.

Muy buena descripción de la historia pero sin especificar las causas y consecuencias dentro de cada país.

Revisado: 05-25-21

Para los que no conocemos la historia perfectamente este libro está muy bien escrito y mis únicos puntos son:
1. El audio libro no indica al inicio que se escribió en 1970.
2. El audio libro se vende vía Amazon lo cual contradice lo que todo el libro critica. Estaría bien unas palabras sobre la tecnología que esparce el saber a costo de quedarse con una buena parte de las ganancias.
3. Que otras opciones tenían los países latinoamericanos si no hubieran aceptado los términos de los productos?
4. Los mexicanos al menos aprendimos de ser abusados por otros países y ahora abusamos de nuestra propia gente. Empanzado por el mismo gobierno y los carteles. No se puede culpar a los países ajenos si nosotros mismos nos tratamos así.
5. Alternativas a salir de este ciclo.

Great overview of leadership

Revisado: 05-08-21

Would love to hear an updated version of this book with more emphasis of the phycology of the times and how that has played a role in what we consider “leadership”.
