If you drink water, you should read this book

Revisado: 10-23-24

very well researched and done. Is from a journalist POV. Really drives home the idea of out of sight is out of mind, but not gone. Also how hard it is to keep an on going crisis in sight, with the current media landscape. Narrator did great job of making you feel for the people trapped and betrayed by this man made tragedy.

Great book with a corresponding great MOOC.

Revisado: 04-06-21

This book I pick up because after 8 years of Ivy League education and a decade of practicing medicine. I still found myself struggling to learn. This book along with some others (Talent Code & ultra-learning) have really changed how I interact with new information in my career. It has also introduced me to MOOCs. This book has an excellent corresponding MOOC on coursera “Learning how to learn” and “mind-shift”. Though the information is not strictly speaking new, the way it is synthesized bring it to a very real world level. I am thankful I came across this gem.

A step by step course on purpose.

Revisado: 02-22-21

This is a good book on a step-by-step manner of how to build your purpose statement. This book should be listened to with pen and paper. You cannot just listen to this book and get the full impact. The author uses additional references, but does go over them quickly and you may need to use the rewind button to get the reference material. this is the start not the end of "finding your purpose" but it is a very good launching point. thank you to the author for doing this work.

Good, not great

Revisado: 10-03-20

Good book, but I feel like the over emphases on women struggles prevent a deeper message of universal struggling. it is in there, just buried.

Great job for intro course

Revisado: 09-27-15

Any additional comments?

This is a great book for anyone with a limited understanding in Asian history (most classically taught Americans) looking for general knowledge. Like an foreign history/culture study it can get a little bogged down in unfamiliar words, but the professor polity repeats them and reminds with "I am sure you remember". Overall a great introduction with a speaker who is clearly interested in the subject. I am sure some information is missing, but that can't really be helped with such a broad topic being covered.

Interesting, but...

Revisado: 09-27-15

Would you consider the audio edition of How the World Learns to be better than the print version?

I think the print version would might me easier to follow the jargon.

What did you like best about this story?

Very useful global to local comparisons and clear stated limitation of comparisons. In other word very honest.

Any additional comments?

This is very interesting information and the professor does have some personnel bias, but does provides data when able to support opinions. However some of the long worded technical jargon, especially at the end of the book can make it a little difficult to follow. All in all very useful information for any one voting on school issues.
