Lost something? Gabriela Rose knows how to get it back. As a recovery agent, she’s hired by individuals and companies seeking lost treasures, stolen heirlooms, or missing assets. She’s reliable, cool under pressure, and well trained in weapons of all types. But Gabriela’s latest job isn’t for some bamboozled billionaire, it’s for her own family, whose home is going to be wiped off the map if they can’t come up with a lot of money fast.

Big mistake on my part to buy it
Revisado: 07-02-22
Maybe it's me, but I couldn't listen to this audiobook past the first few chapters. Very boring, predictable and full of platitudes.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality. We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, the mass spectrometers that detect the dead inside the living or the high-tech surveillance systems that see with artificial intelligence. And we are blind compared to the animals that can see in infrared, or ultraviolet, or in 360-degree vision. These animals live in the same world we do, but they see something quite different when they look around.

A majestic celebration of platitudes and banalities.

A mix of green precepts, animalism, popular nutritionism, scientific reader's digest and many many disconnected anecdotes.

Dan Lyons resigned as Dean of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington to become the free world's leading advocate of winning the war in Vietnam, visiting there 17 times between 1963 and 1975. His 500 daily radio and TV broadcasts, plus his nationwide weekly columns and debates on college campuses, reached millions every week for 12 years. In this book, he presents a brilliant exposé of why we lost the war, and why and how we should have won.

In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner.
