In 2029 the United States is engaged in a bloodless world war that will wipe out the savings of millions of American families. Overnight, on the international currency exchange, the "almighty dollar" plummets in value, to be replaced by a new global currency: the "bancor". In retaliation the president declares that America will default on its loans. With "Deadbeat Nation" being unable to borrow, the government prints money to cover its bills. What little remains for savers is rapidly eaten away by runaway inflation.

It’s like an Ayn Rand fanfic- libertarian wet dream
Revisado: 12-13-23
The concept had so much potential but the entire book was characters arguing economics- except the author completely misrepresents every view besides libertarianism. I wish I could get these hours of my life back.
It’s 13 hours to tell you that actually the gold standard is the only way to prevent eventual societal collapse and wage theft. It’s Ayn Rand with even more cringe

Of course you think you’re doing a shitty job. Every parent does. It’s pretty much a byproduct of our society, with its incessant demands coupled with the in-your-face competitiveness parents see on social media. Unfortunately, the pandemic only made things worse, as parents juggled the stresses of helping their kids navigate online schooling while they also had to work from home. All of which makes Carla Naumburg’s new book utterly necessary. Naumburg delivers her message right up front, and she does it with her singular understanding, relatably funny voice, and keen insights.

Useless platitudes
Revisado: 11-28-23
I tried so hard to give this book a chance to get to the point. I was hoping she would break out data and studies that “good enough” parenting produced happy healthy kids, or literally anything evidence based. This was not that. This entire book could have been summarized by the motivational poster “hang in there.” I made it half way through, cringing the entire time, before giving up on this author. The narrator is great though! It’s just the content that’s awful.

Combining the rigor that has established them as leaders in their respective fields along with a dose of good-natured humor, the Tellers ask listeners to take a fresh look at seven common sacred cows: the Holy Cow, the Expert Cow, the Selfish Cow, the Defective Cow, the Innocent Victim Cow, the One True Cow, and the Other Cow. This is not an audiobook that is "for" marriage or "for" divorce, but "for" the freedom to decide how to live most honestly and happily either as part of a couple or a single person.

Twilight level bad

This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. I kept waiting for evidence based information or some credentials from the authors. It’s just dudes ranting. Even reading a summary of this book would be a waste of time.

On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

Boring and obnoxious
Revisado: 10-12-21
The first bit of the book had a great premise, but I promise after you’re 30 minutes in, you’ll keep waiting for the plot to come back -it never does.
If you want to listen to hours upon hours of “but women shouldn’t be pilots” then this is the book for you.
The author spends the book beating a dead horse while you see no character development or interesting thoughts.
Hard pass

I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

This is life changing. Every single woman needs to listen to this. Chapter 1 lays out the dumb bullshit we all fall for which leaves us with a guy that we’re supporting because “we love him.”
Just listen to chapter 1 and the whole time you will be nodding your head YES, exactly, and just fucking agreeing. Women, we’ve been getting played. This guy is laying out how we’ve been played and how to stop getting played.
The narrator is fantastic and I wish he would narrate all of G L Lambert’s books because I bought two more of his books after loving Ho Tactics, but the narrator didn’t fit the story in those other books.
