Top 3 sci-fi books of all time

Revisado: 07-05-23

I just finished it so the ending is still fresh on my mind and OMG it’s so perfect. The story is an emotional journey of constant hardship and strife against a universe trying to destroy humanity. To top it off our savior is a nerdy coward with the confidence of a skittish kitten. The science and thought put into the story was absolutely mind blowing clearly the author really cared about making the plot engaging. I would like to point out a couple of conveniences were of course taken but unfortunately we don’t live in 2223 so we don’t have that tech yet. The book really tries its best to explain things in detail and really inspire the reader to think of a universe where what they say is true with believable claims invoking real world physics! I absolutely loved the crazy plot twist in the middle too! Overall I’d highly recommend this book to anyone especially since it isn’t too long and the narrator has the perfect voice for the job.

LOVED IT

Revisado: 06-02-23

You can really tell how much this subject means to the author, especially in the conclusion his emotions are conveyed in a way that resinated with passions in my own heart. The whole book is a beautiful walk on the line of fun, fascinating stories, and logical history based explanations. Over banger already talking to friends about it

Good info and interesting insight a bit lackluster storytelling though

Revisado: 12-29-22

I enjoyed a lot of the points the author pointed out and the narration was clear and concise. My only problem is with some of the examples chosen I felt they were a bit boring and some debatable on reasoning. Malcom gladwell does a similar style of half baked examples with good reasoning. Good book though worth a read.

Very practical and helpful

Revisado: 09-06-22

I’m on a bit of a binge of these kinds of books just finished quiet ( smiled at the shoutout at the beginning) and went onto this. Anyone seeking out a book of this type is likely similar to me and you can likely predict my personality. I enjoyed the balance here of empowerment and self acceptance. The practical tools honestly stressed me out just listening to them but it’s only been a day and I tried 1 of them to a pleasant surprise so I look forward to applying more. Im going to use this along with others to write my own essay to clear my head and I couldn’t thank Ellen enough.

Very valuable information although catered to students

Revisado: 03-23-22

I realize I’m in the minority of this books demographic however I’m not in school I’m learning on my own so several analogies and even an entire chapter in the end of test were meaningless to me. I will say there’s a lot of value in the information and tips nonetheless and would recommend for anyone learning difficult topics in STEM especially. I’d also recommend listening in segments because this book has a very structured almost directional approach and if your like me and have a tendency to mentally wonder this is a book to be split up not a road trip book. I really enjoyed it overall I think Barbara brought a lot of insight and applicable tools in my nevertheless quest for more knowledge.

An articulate way of describing complex decision making processes

Revisado: 10-27-21

Very often in this book I would find myself relating what Annie was talking about to my real life experiences that I just never thought through before. She puts in clear words these processes that are often done on intuition or often missed due to emotion. I thought it was a great book that was very well performed and I really appreciated her getting to the point often it didn’t feel drawn out at all and I thought the pacing was great. I’d recommend this book highly to those interested in the decision making process and how to be more conscious in their own decision making. Also the betting aspect is a very interesting and useful perspective

I really enjoyed it ( a little tough to listen while busy for me though)

Revisado: 09-22-21

I really liked how much detail he went into each subject and why he thought what he thought it’s very refreshing to show the organic process of coming to the opinion rather than stating it as fact with surface level reasoning. I will say though I typically can listen to books while I work but this one took a bit more concentration for me personally so I’d suggest just listening while driving or something but it might just be my lack of multitasking ability. To summarize as he does at the end of each chapter (which i enjoyed btw) yet another banger from Max.

Valuable information with fun and useful examples

Revisado: 07-24-21

The information was very direct and useful in real life while staying entertaining enough to keep my attention. My only complaint is although I really like jocko some parts might of been better narrated with a non blunt and extreme tone that is jocko. It gave some areas a very macho tone while the message was of humility it made it seem disingenuous and like it was just a useful facade.

Checks all the curiosity bubbles

Revisado: 07-13-21

Within this book Dawkins sets up some very interesting scenarios to help represent his points and ideas in a much more simple way, because of this I would have questions after each one and it’s like he could read my mind! It’s a very interesting book and put me in a much different mindset on what life is and how it changes with time. Overall I really liked the switching between two narrators I felt it helped keep the book from being able to just let go to the back of your head and not take in. However, some of the authors notes at the end of each chapter were a bit exhaustive but most of them added value. I think it’s a excellent book to those curious in how evolution works and why we evolve this a very interesting theory and I quite like it I’d highly recommend. I’d like to add it has some more philosophical delays that are fun to think about for those who are inclined to do so.

It’s an excellent book made to be listened to closely.

Revisado: 06-22-21

First off I would recommend this book for those interested in the history of how information has changed humanity and the forms it has taken through time. I would say though that some sections in the middle are a little bit boring and I had to take breaks and switch to something else for a while so I could listen without loosing focus. That’s just James for you though! you can tell how much he values getting the details right just like his book chaos, they have very similar styles and structure. he’s a very good author and this book will definitely challenge some of your views while enlightening you to new perspectives on how information should be valued.
