Human Nature at its best/worst

Revisado: 02-19-24

I thoroughly enjoyed the studies and the comparisons. Even contrasting animals to people and people to animals really helped me to understand the topic better.

If I were to take away one thing from this book it would be that even we do not understand all of our own motives. Our subconscious mind hides our deep down motives to protect us from judgment. Think about it like this; have you ever been asked why you did something and you weren't clearly able to articulate it? It's probably happened to all of us.

The biggest point would be to take a step back when we've made decisions and try to look at the hidden motives behind those decisions. Whether it's about ourselves or the other people around us. This will in the end, help us to understand ourselves and other people better.

Good books, not deep

Revisado: 01-04-24

I would have liked to see a deeper breakdown of each of the books which could have meant that the book could have focused on 25 books instead of 50. I do like the fact that the author wrote about the person that suggested the book as well. As the author of the book and information about the book itself.

One of the best books on the act of creation

Revisado: 11-18-23

I loved how much information that is valuable is packed into this book. It's powerful even though at times, the information can be a bit woo-woo. Anyway. Rick knows how to get people to reach their creative best.

Amazing History

Revisado: 10-18-23

I really loved reading the history of Dune, and Ryan does a great job of narrating. This book also also educates us on how educational and entertaining the story of Dune is. Much of the background information we learn about Frank Herbert and how he came up with the idea of Dune is also helpful to understand the book.

Great for ELA Teachers

Revisado: 09-15-23

I'm an English teacher here in Surabaya and I thought that listening to this book was very useful for my classes. However, for an average teacher, I believe that the book goes into depth for curriculum heads and principals. It's a worthy read for any educator.

A touching tribute to Oppenheimer

Revisado: 08-30-23

I'm so happy to have read this book. After watching the recent 2023 film entitled Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan.

The book filled in many of the gaps that the film could not cover. And by the end, I actually had a few tears starting to Well up in my eyes. Although very long, I enjoyed every single second of the book and I feel like any person that wants to know about Oppenheimer's life coming, his struggles and accomplishments, and the way that the government treated. A hero scientist, then you should read this book.

Deep Dive into Literature and Christianity

Revisado: 05-22-23

This was a well pieced together book filled with several references and deep dives into award-winning authors and books from fairly close to present today all the way back to ancient times. The author has explained well the relation of the book to biblical interpretations and examples. It's definitely worth checking out if you're interested in how deep literature has a deep connection to real life and what it can teach us about living well.

Poor sound quality and too many F****

Revisado: 04-26-23

The overuse of language was, overdone! also it sounds like the author was just recording from her house, you could hear the pages turning and sometimes accidentally hitting the microphone. You could also hear some sort of fan in the background or AC or something like that.

You'd think that an author with a PhD and many other degrees would be smart enough to hire a professional studio or something like that. The message and the book itself is somewhat useful but only for people going through drastic anxiety and depression. The author does know her content well.

Amazing for discovering systems and feedback loops

Revisado: 04-12-23

I thought the book was amazing for discovering systems and feedback loops all around us. These systems and feedback loops can be used individually or globally. It's a worthy topic for further study.

Ford Ford Ford

Revisado: 03-09-23

The narrative is great, you can learn so much about who Ford was and how he ran his business. He's got life and work principles mixed in as well which make the book practical.
