This book is for everyone
Revisado: 12-20-23
Inspiring, engaging, and well-paced, this book is important for anyone who knows someone with cancer. But, really, it's for everyone. It illustrates the relationship between a loving father and his family, lays out the thoughtful and broad-ranging advice he wants to leave for his children, and opens the door to what it is like to be a cancer patient. As a scientist myself, I appreciate that he summarizes some of the science behind his cancer and its treatment, doing so in a manner that is both clear and engaging. Acknowledging that I know the author, I loved hearing him read the book. It is amazing to hear him address the cancer, whose final chapter is not yet written, in such a level-headed way, making the times when emotion seeps through all the more poignant. Although I only recently finished it, I have already purchased two more copies as gifts. The book is hard to put down and is well worth the read.

In 2009, Susannah Cahalan woke up in a strange hospital room strapped to a bed, under guard, and unable to move or speak. Her medical records - from a month-long hospital stay of which she had no memory - reported psychosis, violence, and dangerous instability. Yet, only weeks earlier she had been a healthy, ambitious twenty-four-year-old, six months into her first serious relationship and a sparkling career as a cub reporter

What an amazing story!
Revisado: 02-04-18
I found this story riveting. I can't imagine going through what they, or others with the disease, went through. The writing was very open and engaging. I appreciated the added discussion at the end about her interactions with other families and the continued struggles and uncertainties.

By looking at what separates the extremely successful from the rest of us, we learn what we can do to be more like them - and find out, in some cases, why it's good that we aren't. Barking up the Wrong Tree draws on startling statistics and surprising anecdotes to help you understand what works and what doesn't, so you can stop guessing at success and start living the life you want.

From Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former head of the Sierra Club Carl Pope comes a manifesto on how the benefits of taking action on climate change are concrete, immediate, and immense. They explore climate change solutions that will make the world healthier and more prosperous, aiming to begin a new type of conversation on the issue that will spur bolder action by cities, businesses, and citizens—and even, someday, by Washington.

Very upbeat
Revisado: 01-27-18
This book covers a lot of aspects of the fight against climate change from technology to policy to economics and beyond. It was great to have a fairly comprehensive and hopeful approach. I did feel like they were a bit too optimistic about what cities etc can do in their own even in the face of counterproductive policies on a national level. Still, this book gave me hope that some progress could be made despite the current climate in Washington.

Great overview

This book was an interesting and important Sunday off the strengths of minds with atypical wiring. An important book where it is all too easy to focus on deficits.
