Historia
A courageous, life-changing memoir that teaches us to apply the lessons learned by those nearing their death to our own life. After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with meaning. Despite having no formal qualifications or experience, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to the needs of those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed.

It's more of a depressed vegan memoir
Revisado: 11-15-23
This book is an extremely difficult read/listen. There isn't a real philosophical approach to this book and how to face these 'five regrets'. There's a lot of running around and not providing any definitive explanations as to what the title falsely advertises.
There's a large portion of the book that has zero relevance to the subjects at hand, there's a lack of getting to the point and making a precise explanation. It contains a lot of the victimhood mentality and how the author relishes in self pity. There isn't a set structure within the book either.
What's the life transformation? What are the biggest regrets that are commonly seen by those near death? This book doesn't include x amount of patients expressed x problems and regrets at their dying moments. What scientific study(ies) are related to this? It's a woe is me kind of book that doesn't hold up to facts and reality. Yes, people will regret things when they're older and wish they did something different but there's zero validity behind this book. It's too generalized and focused on the author to hold any weight.
The Five Topics it barely discusses:
People aren't true to themselves (projection by the author)
Wishing one didn't work so hard
Wishing to express feelings/emotions
Wishing one had stayed in touch with friends
Wishing to let oneself be happier
Instead of writing a so called 'book' about her supposed life struggles, a therapist would have been a much better route for the author to take. Approx. 20% of the end of the book is about her personal trials and tribulations with depression and songwriting at a females prison. That didn't connect with the focus of that part. It lost it's value, it's meaning, and the content wasn't there. It seemed to be filler words for an 8 page college paper with run on sentencing.
It seems the author is having a 9/10 life crisis. Didn't go down the right paths in her life, enjoyed doing the bare minimum in the beginning, and now wants something to make up for her lack of self awareness and her own self sabotaging actions.
I want my money back. This book and the supposed 4.5 ratings doesn't hold up to what is being advertised.

This book discusses the basics as to what some of the challenges, benefits, and tax structures present when opening and operating an LLC. There's a lot of theoretical cases that are realistic and more commonplace. Great book on the basic setup, ideology, and structure. Would recommend.

Historia
Terence McKenna hypothesizes that as the North African jungles receded, giving way to savannas and grasslands near the end of the most recent ice age, a branch of our arboreal primate ancestors left the forest canopy and began living in the open areas beyond. There they experimented with new varieties of foods as they adapted, physically and mentally, to the environment. Among the new foods found in this environment were psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

Skewed Perspective
Revisado: 06-04-23
I was hoping this book would be more factually based and historical evidence intertwined, but it's quite skewed on what's happened. It doesn't cover the effects of psychedelics as to what it does to human consciousness and the scientific studies associated.
This book has a strong leftist skewed perspective on history and leaves out a substantial amount of historical information.
Would look elsewhere for nonfiction. this should fall under realistic fiction.

Historia
Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address.

Modern Philosophy
Revisado: 02-20-23
This book isn't black and white. "If you do x, you'll get y." It's a book on how to look within, realize you're not the only one facing these adversities, and there's a way to overcome the current situation(s) you're facing. There's a focus on becoming the archetype of a man, not on what modern society is pushing for. Would definitely recommend.

Insightful Content
Revisado: 11-17-22
Dr. Gibson opens up the minds as to how and why people think the way they think due to the situations that they've been in. This book provides a great deal on insight for the adult child who was raised with emotionally immature parents. Why/how individuals act the way they act, the defensive mechanisms, and the most common outcomes. There's an interesting topic of individuals who have the mindset of internalizing and externalizing. How someone who internalizes can be impacted dramatically more in certain circumstances compared to those who have the externalizing mindset.
The book was written factually, non biased, and with evidence of studies. It wasn't bashing or belittling anyone. It was presenting the evidence. Some individuals might have difficulty with what the book discusses and how certain things can't be changed.

Historia
Economic Facts and Fallacies is designed for people who want to understand economic issues without getting bogged down in economic jargon, graphs, or political rhetoric. Writing in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues, including many that are widely disseminated in the media and by politicians.

Factual and Precise
Revisado: 11-17-22
Sowell covers a great deal of controversial topics in this book. It is written for those with an open mindset to see the facts Sowell has gathered. There are numerous chapters that contradict what the main stream media promotes. There is a validity behind demolishing certain studies that have a skewed agenda behind their work.
This book covers: the slave trade outside of the US, the gender pay gap results, high crime locations, real restate prices, executive pay, the ghettos/slums in the cities, discrimination history, and international influence. Now, with the emphasis on these matters, it's challenge for certain individuals with a liberal mindset to fully understand or accept.
For those who haven't had an economics class could have some difficulty understanding some of the content behind his research. Numbers don't always align with emotional goals, i.e. 'social justice'. There is some clarification as to why that would be a misnomer to society.

Impressive Insight
Revisado: 10-11-22
Ed Mylett hits a notable amount of points in the philosophical self improvement. There's a focus on developing a faith based practice and actions needed for self development. Mylett gives personal examples of what he's gone through and how he's used some of the adversities as a pathway of growth. Instead of being a victim he has the survivor mindset. That is something I respect. Having the drive for self improvement and self reflection is something not everyone has or is willing to work on. But those that do, have a stronger chance for success and freedom.

More Entertainment than Informational
Revisado: 10-11-22
This allegorical story has some realistic content behind the message. Touching on the expenses of eating out, expensive vehicles, unnecessary purchases, having a demanding job that isn't worth the efforts behind it, etc. However, this storyline wasn't as informative as expected. The content was vague and more of an entertainment book. I would look elsewhere for more informative knowledge.

Historia
A vicious 15-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic, a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. In Anthony Burgess' nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology.

Classic British Book
Revisado: 10-11-22
This book has a notable amount of dark content. It is quite realistic and graphic. The sailors activities in the bar, the experimental treatment processes, and the aftermath are vivid and real world writings. The focus on what is moral and socially acceptable has a profound statement. The story line bounces from a tragedy to a comedy.
There was some loss in translation that took some extra effort in understanding the old English language. After developing a better understanding of the language, it was more in depth. Moloko, adinoky, Karman, Nadsat, and more were some of the words that aren't used in modern English.

Historia
It's time to recover from childhood trauma, abuse, addiction, and anything else that's holding you back from becoming the most elite version of yourself. This book is a deep dive into the masculine journey of coming back from toxicity and achieving unlimited long-term success in your career, finances, relationships, and so much more. Self-sabotage and self-limiting beliefs systems are destroying the modern man. This book will teach you how to stop pulling the pin on a hand grenade and tossing it into your own lap once and for all.

interesting self reflection
Revisado: 10-11-22
For the most part I enjoyed this book. It hit a great deal of topics that were insightful. focusing on the long term goals, finances, and relationships were a key factor. how certain individuals have the self sabotaging agenda and how to overcome that. I wasn't too particularly impressed with the history of drug use and how it was glorified on the accomplishment of overcoming that.
