Historia
Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry.

Happy to have went back and read this
Revisado: 12-20-24
I’ve read Walter Isaacson’s biographies on Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, I’m happy. I went back and listen to this one as well.

Historia
In Bubble in the Sun Christopher Knowlton shows us the grand artistic and entrepreneurial visions behind Coral Gables, Boca Raton, Mar-a-Lago, Miami Beach, and other storied sites. It was a time when the nightlife raged more raucously than anywhere else in America; workers, mostly black, who built and maintained the boom endured grievous abuses; and the pure beauty of the Everglades suffered wanton ruination. Knowlton also breathes dynamic life into the four forces that made and/or broke Florida in the time.

Loved the history of the book, wish it didn’t have the DEI slant
Revisado: 10-09-24
Overall great book for learning about the real estate bubble and a lot of the development history in Florida. I wish it didn’t feel the need to push the DEI agenda throughout the book.

Historia
Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation.

Historia
Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Gad Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic firsthand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society.

Revisado: 08-12-24
Great book to listen too, I really wish Gad Sadd had read it for the audiobook, woulda made for a better touch since I’m family with voice and style of speech from podcast. All in all he does a great job getting his message across.

I was recommended this book by close friend of mine. One of the things I struggle most with is delegating task to free up my time for what actually makes me the most money in my business. Got a lot of great helpful tips, and some good perspective shift.

Historia
What drives our political and moral beliefs? What makes us like some things and dislike others? What shapes how we behave, and misbehave, in a group? What makes you, you? For centuries, philosophers and scholars have described human behaviour in terms of sex, power and money. In The Status Game, best-selling author Will Storr radically turns this thinking on its head by arguing that it is our irrepressible craving for status that ultimately defines who we are.

I’m weary of books this popular and mainstream
Revisado: 03-22-24
Generally, I try to avoid books that are as popular and is widely distributed as Atomic Habits is. Being present in every major retailer generally is a sign that something is for the masses, and as a rule, I try to avoid such things. In this case though, my rule failed me. Atomic Habits is an excellent listen, offers great tricks for changing the course of one’s life. I cannot recommend enough.

Historia
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

The world needs more Elon’s
Revisado: 10-05-23
If humanity could discover the formula for how to get more Elon Musk’s, we would not only lbs better for it, we would live in a unrecognizable society in just a few generations. The world needs more Einstein’s, more Musk, as a species, ensuring we have more of the absolute best and brightest of us should be our primary pursuit when making policy decisions.

Historia
Believe it or not, the results a person obtains are inversely proportionate to the degree to which he is intimidated; it's not what you say or do that counts, but what your posture is when you say or do it! Those who choose to be ostriches and believe they can wish away these realities invite an enormous amount of unnecessary pain and frustration into their lives.

One of the best business books I’ve listened too
Revisado: 09-22-23
Maybe I’m biased because I’m a commercial real estate broker, but this is easily one of the best business books I’ve read, and will certainly join my recommendations list along with “48 Laws of Power,” “Hard Times Create Strong Men,” “Power Broker,” and a few others. The reader does a fantastic job keeping it lively and fun, the story progression by the author is perfect and the length is just right. 10/10

Revisado: 08-20-23
If you’re a doer this is the book for you, Arnold is goal driven and his mindset is bulletproof. He’s a great inspiration and role model of the immigrant mentality that America should love.
