Awesome Book! Makes ya think.

Revisado: 03-10-21

Helped me to think of the way we are being nudged. Comparing where we are to the most outlandish best or the most outlandish worst... we’re somewhere in the middle, yet the middle moves one direction or the other. Which pole are we moving toward? It’s more clear to me.

Rivals Mein Kampf for Racism

Revisado: 09-29-20

I couldn’t finish it. I haven’t read anything so patently racist since I read Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler! Truth: I couldn’t finish that one either. I’m sorry but judging an entire race of people based on the color of their skin is racist! It is simply not accurate to assign a person’s level of racism based on whether they are white. According to Kendi if you’re white, you’re racist. Anti-racism (Kendi’s highest aspiration for all) can only be achieved through activism and self flagellation for being white. If you don’t hate your white race, you’re a racist. I hated this book and do not recommend it, unless you’re a white person looking for self accusation and blame because you’re white, or you’re a black person looking to justify feeling like a victim. His sweeping generalizations are skewed and pathological.

Paradigm changing book!

Revisado: 06-30-20

Robert Petkoff did a phenomenal job of narrating this book. The literature was a perfect mix of historical, clinical and personal anecdotes delivered in a way that went straight into my heart. The plight of the aging and chronically ill population is a growing, expanding condition that every one of us will get to face both personally, and within our circle of family and friends. Everybody dies. Some of us die a piece at a time. A few of us get taken out of this life with one whack, but for most of us, it is a gradual dying. So the big question is how shall we make LIVING WHILE DYING the very best it can be? This book attempts to paint a picture of possibilities. It is hope-filled. Things can be better than they have been if we can honor each other’s humanity to the very end. I loved it!

Heartwarming story told by the perfect narrator

Revisado: 09-20-18

Such a fun and heartwarming story. I love how the people in Joey’s life support him. They see him. They see his circumstances, and they offer the best kind of support, making him feel like a real winner! The narrator/author is the perfect one to tell the story. His accent adds so much. I listened to it with my 10 year old granddaughter. We laughed and laughed. The imagery is incredible. Thank you for sharing this precious story with us.

Hope late in the game

Revisado: 09-20-17

I'm a late starter, wondering if there is anything I could do this late in the game. Eureka! There IS! Very motivated now to buckle down, tighten up and go full throttle to save for my ever shortening future.

Opened my eyes.

So many great ideas that I never considered. The author is an amazing example of someone turning an extremely unhappy and unfortunate childhood into a life of productivity, usefulness, and helpfulness to others. A great read... er... listen.

Really enjoyed listening. Delivery was superb. Slight voice inflection as he quoted added depth and authenticity. Scary what our habits betray about us!!! I was astonished at how easy it is to uncover what we think are personal choices, but fully exposed through our habits. A great read! (Listen)

Profound! Every American needs to read it.

Revisado: 04-26-15

I learned so much about our evolution of history, science, medicine, culture, ethics and morality while being completely enveloped in this engrossing story of Henrietta and her immortal cells. I laughed and cried, was furious and filled with joy as I listened. The story was masterfully told, unfolding in such a way as to keep the reader (listener) absolutely captivated from the first paragraph to the last. I love this book!!! It's probably my all time favorite. The narrators were fantastic.
