Suddenly finding herself 40 and single, Lori Gottlieb said the unthinkable in her March 2008 article in The Atlantic: Maybe she, and single women everywhere, needed to stop chasing the elusive Prince Charming and instead go for Mr. Good Enough. Looking at her friends' happy marriages to good enough guys who happen to be excellent husbands and fathers, Gottlieb declared it time to reevaluate what we really need in a partner. By looking at everything from culture to biology, in Marry Him, Gottlieb frankly explores the dilemma that so many women today seem to face.

The enlightening experience by the author overshadows the repeated insistence that she’s intellectual, deep, etc. A fun read, even for guys.

Through studious research into past civilizations, Burnham diagnoses the 20th century and finds it afflicted with destructive, even "suicidal" tendencies - all of which arise from the “Liberal syndrome” and its inherent applications. The book explores several important questions, including why Liberalism clashes with Christianity and how Liberalism is a root cause of race riots and the rapid growth in crime.

From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting audiobook shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls listeners to consider a future where aging can be treated.

Interesting, but veers off a bit via amateur sociology
Revisado: 12-22-20
Dr. Sinclair makes an interesting case, but he lost me with his leftist, utopian vision for the future. I’d suggest he stay in his lane, which he does well at.

Margaret Sanger was an American sex educator and birth control activist. Woman and the New Race argues for the legality of birth control, which was closely tied to the labor and the Eugenics movements. Sanger believed that birth control would free women from the bondage of forced motherhood.

Offers a clear view of early Eugenics
Revisado: 01-10-20
As the founder of planned parenthood, and often the champion of the Left, Sanger reiterates the need to control population growth, which is so often abandoned from pro-choice activists. I found this book refreshing, and even as a pro-life individual, I was convinced that in order to bring about the best social outcomes for society, and for women particularly, there is a need to reduce the burgeoning population of those on the bottom of the socio-economic ladder.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Book clarifies Gladwell's view on social causation
Revisado: 01-10-20
I'm a long-time reader of Mr. Gladwell's literature, from Outliers, to Tipping Point, to David and Goliath, and I think this book really brings his overall perspective into focus. While his earlier works play with interesting theories, such as luck individuals/ groups have with matching talent with time periods, along with 10,000 hours to mastery, these theories culminate to leave the reader with a very clear impression that Gladwell wholeheartedly believes that talent, and latent differences account for little to none of the disparate outcomes we see.
Talking to strangers is accompanied with a song by Janelle Monae, which chants the names of black individuals killed (or who committed suicide) during/ after interactions with police, which really sets the tone for an identity-politics ridden, and loosely stitched together story with no clear thesis. On one side we are to "revert to truth" to enable efficient social interactions, but when we do not individuals die, and still even when we do we're open to predation.
This wasn't his strongest work, and is perhaps best served to foster additional animosity by Black individuals against majority populations and/ or institutions.
