an amazing mind

Revisado: 01-13-24

logic applied to social challenges. What a refreshing concept. These days we are lost in the weeds because we have lost the ability to publicly use critical thinking and logic

interesting history of Domestic Nazi sympathizers in NJ pre WWII & the Jewish gangs formed to beat them down

Revisado: 01-08-24

an interesting story of a Newark gang led by a famous boxer that formed to oppose the well developed Nazi activists that formed in Newark New Jersey in the 30's.. Kind of a domestic version of the real Inglorious Bastards that fought as Comando's in WWII

A reasonable summary of the revolutionary War of the Northern Army

Revisado: 12-22-23

Like many Americans. the depth of my knowledge of the Revolutionary War was pretty thin. This book is a pleasure to listen to and does a good job filling the details of the conflicts that lead to the surrender of Brit Gen Burgoyne. it is written from a "field" perspective and so is thin on the perspectives of Cornwallis, Clinton and Howe.

At least from this books perspective it seems the Britsh Army's leaders largely got their commands based upon peerage more than competence. A cautionary tale to consider in modern times that seem too focused on things other than accomplishment.

A great book. wished I'd read it 40 years ago!

Revisado: 02-19-23

The brilliance of Dr Feynman comes through clearly on much more than physics.

The narration is great. I have no idea what the book bird reviewers are speaking of.

I especially ially like this books exposure of the diversity of Dr Feynman's personality and experiences.

He was surely a great Scientist & human.

Dan Pat's himself on the back

Revisado: 07-27-21

I grew up listening to Walter Cronkite and Harry Reasoner as Anchors and Dan Rather in the field. He was great, with emphasis on was. Dan lost his way as he aged. This book is propaganda, meant to restore this once great man's now soiled reputation. As he has become, he remains dishonest about himself and others, hoping his award shucks delivery will cause you to ignore his failures.

It does not work

You need to read this today

Even more important in today's era of mass lying by journalists and fascist big tech (more equal it would seem?) This is an old story. Americans, esp millenials seem to have ignore history even as we relive it....

meh. well presented, but not all that interesting

Revisado: 04-25-21

Good narration. you might like this, but while I'm a bit of a foodie, most of the stories were not all that interesting to me.

Whiney interviews of unaccomplished millenials

Revisado: 10-27-20

Growing up to adulthood is accomplished with developing a sense of self responsibility and learning to problem solve. Maturing as an adult, becoming accomplished, requires resilience, persistence, self control and deferred reward behavior. None of the interviews showed these traits. Social media and permissive politics and parents seem to enable Millenials and "Z's" to whine a lot.

We raised these stalled children, but we cannot fix them. They will not succeed by anything anyone else does for them. They must fix themselves.

The authors decision to quit using Hatebook was a good start.
