Historia
From one of the greatest French philosophers of the 20th century comes a seminal study and critique of propaganda. Taking not only a psychological approach but a sociological approach as well, Jacques Ellul outlines the taxonomy for propaganda and, ultimately, its destructive nature towards democracy. Drawing from his own experiences fighting for the French resistance against the Vichy regime, Ellul offers a unique insight into the propaganda machine.

This is a well-done narration of all five books mentioned. Multiple narrators. Content is, of course, legendary material.

Revisado: 09-17-22
It was okay until the author decided to whine about the supposed "gender pay gap". Wah, Implicit gender biases, wahh. Individual value is far more important than gender. True value is determined by the value an individual adds to an organization. I'm sorry that people weren't interested in women's soccer. I'm sorry that it doesn't sell tickets. The value of the women's soccer league is determined by the number of tickets they sell and not simply by their association with the US Soccer Federation. If they don't sell the same tickets as the men's games, then they're not as valuable to the organization. If a female employee doesn't contribute the same or more labor value to a corporation, then they're not as valuable. Has nothing to do with gender. Author recites some common negotiation strategies in this lecture.

Historia
Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries. Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive.

This book has three different timelines. 2 are boring, but Eli's story was so fascinating that I listened to the whole book to follow along with his story.

Historia
Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "nice guy". They're trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose. This book exposes the comforting lies you've been told throughout your life for what they really are, enabling you to become a truly authentic alpha who chases excellence and leads a successful passion-filled life.

when I look at books like these I always think, "oh, here we go again with another guru that wants to show me how to get laid", but this isn't really the case here. This book instead, provides a perspective that rationalizes certain dating behaviors within modern westernized societies and encourages the reader to think realistically on their approach to the landscape of these societies. The book encourages self growth and development and provides an inspirational ideology to live by.

Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Historia
At the shabby boarding house in the rue Neuve-Sainte-Geneviève, petty Madame Vauquer and her tenants wonder at the plight of the aging resident Goriot. Once a well-heeled merchant, Goriot was, at first, afforded special treatment from the Madame. But now something is clearly amiss in his financial affairs, and his increasingly tawdry appearance makes him a subject of ridicule in the household.

Well read and easy to follow. Fascinating story about a boarding house in early 19th century France. I listened after listening to an economics book that mentioned this as a reference to the wealth dynamics of recent modern history.

Historia
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories.

Wealth Inequality
Revisado: 01-16-21
It was okay. Nothing groundbreaking. Many interesting points made. Better to read the book and analyze the charts than to simply listen. I can't help myself from saying that no, I don't agree with Piketty's proposed solutions to wealth inequality or international relations, but the book was well made.
