Historia
A wonderful tale of a young man’s coming of age, Zorba the Greek has been a classic of world literature since it was first translated into English in 1952 and made into an unforgettable movie with Anthony Quinn. Zorba, an irrepressible, earthy hedonist, sweeps his young disciple along as he wines, dines, and loves his way through a life dedicated to fulfilling his copious appetites. Zorba is irresistible in this charming audio production by veteran narrator George Guidall.

An annual listen for me
Revisado: 06-26-23
Great story, great voices, great listen that I repeat every spring or summer. Zorba isn't a hero but I learn a lot from him.

Historia
Ever since Christopher Columbus stepped off the Santa Maria onto what is today San Salvador, in the Bahamas, and announced that he had arrived in the Orient, the Caribbean has been a stage for projected fantasies and competition between world powers. In Empire’s Crossroads, British American historian Carrie Gibson traces the story of this coveted area from the northern rim of South America up to Cuba, and from discovery through colonialism to today, offering a vivid, panoramic view of this complex region and its rich, important history.

Very interesting, very long
Revisado: 06-25-20
Of course the subject is long, history of a big part of the world, but I would have preferred a more linear approach to the events covered. Overall very good and I enjoyed the narrators voice.

Historia
Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

Historia
We're now entering the winter season of the 80-year four season economic cycle. It's during this season that we'll clear the decks with a devastating crash and debilitating deflation. The economy and markets will shed the excesses created during the preceding fall bubble boom season and prepare the soil for new blossoming in innovation and a spring boom. After the blustering bull market of 2009-2015, we are now preparing for a shakeout more painful than anything we've seen before.

Interesting concept
Revisado: 07-17-17
Dent's approach is fascinating and I tend to agree with some of his concepts. He loses credibility of his bigger ideas, in my opinion, by making such specific predictions though (cuz investment will fall between 39-64%). It makes me suspect when predictions are made with such specific numbers. But his concept of cycles, demographics, and the world being in an asset bubble seem right on.

Here is THE book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett.

The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as "The Oracle of Omaha."

Interesting approach to business
Revisado: 04-15-17
Where does Rework rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've only listened to 3 audiobooks so far, and this is my 2nd favorite one.
What did you like best about this story?
New ideas about approaching business and firm evidence that just because something has always been done in a particular way, doesn't mean it can't be changed.
What about Mike Chamberlain’s performance did you like?
Good presentation voice; I like him very much.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
We know how to do stuff and old people don't.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed listening to this book very much. The youth and innovative thinking of the writers, with their obvious success with Basecamp, gave lots of great approaches to business with different thoughts. I did feel the authors were aa bit arrogant their approach and general mindset that "the old way of doing business is dead". I think they took that approach a bit too far in some areas, but overall a good book that is worth listening to.
