Tragic, heartwarming and uplifting

Revisado: 05-20-24

It sometimes feels like nothing has really changed but that’s not true. As far as I know, there are no more laws enforcing segregation. And we did elect Obama. And there is so much undone that it’s hard to see true equality ever happening. But it was hard to think of desegregation never happening and 3 hard to make it happen, but it did. So right now I feel kind of peaceful. (Love your show, Joy.)

A good read

Revisado: 11-13-23

This is the third book I’ve read about SBF, plus listening to Podcasts. I think part of the fascination is the "Why? No one can answer that but this book makes some very reasonable suggestions. I recommend it.

I’m recommending to lots of people

Revisado: 09-12-22

Kind of makes me appreciate Isaac Asimov's wisdom in designing the laws of robotics.
I will be listening to this one again.

Delicious book

Revisado: 06-19-22

I think this may be the sixth time I’ve read/listened to this book. Right now I needed relief from the news, political analysis and history. It’s a great story, but it’s also full of so much wisdom. I actually recommended it to my current therapist.

A beautiful and inspiring book

Revisado: 01-25-22

Even though I knew Dr. Oluseyi would get his Ph.D, I was still in tears when he finally did. I am so grateful to the many Black people who are explaining to us white people what we should have known, but managed not to really see. The book is a page turner, and I even almost kind of understood some of the science. Please keep writing.

Great douse, but last lessons need revision

Revisado: 01-14-22

Unfortunately, the positive evaluation and hopeful predictions of the last few lessons are kind of heart breaking now (2022.) So much is much worse than when they were written. I would either drop those lessons or add one describing the deterioration, in so many ways, that has occurred since then. I really was enjoying this course and learning a lot up until the talk of how successful the Hong Kong takeover has been. That didn’t last, did it?

Great book, wrong reader

Revisado: 10-28-21

I really enjoyed the book, but was continually irritated by the accent, whatever it’s supposed to be. Irv doesn’t talk like that. My memory of him is that he has no particular accent, except, perhaps, Californian. The reader seems to have some sort of northeast, Jewish accent, perhaps New York. I guess it’s fine if you don’t actually know Irv, but to me, the reader sonds much less sophisticated and educated.,which is a misrepresentation.

Looking forward to reading this book again . .

. . . Because I’m sure I missed pieces the first time that will help me see the whole picture. And, it’s a page turner.

Great book, heartbreaking ending

Revisado: 06-14-21

I learned a lot reading this book. It’s also really well written, and had to put down. However, after reviewing everything that has been going wrong, the last chapter offers a possible hopeful scenario f recovery. But everything is so much worse now than even six months ago, that hopefulness breaks my heart. You see, I don’t think you can have a democracy if a large portion of the population, and a larger portion of elected officials, are against the basic principles of democracy.
