Who wrote Great Expectations? That’s easy: Charles Dickens. Who’s the author of Beloved? Toni Morrison, of course. Now how about the Old Testament? You’d think for a book as widely known, studied, and distributed as the Bible, the question of authorship would have been sorted out by now. But the question is more complex (and fascinating) than it seems. Why? Because asking it is to challenge everything we might assume about the Bible’s identity as a book, about what “writing” and “authorship” really mean, and about how a written text could become sacred.

What a Great Courses Book Is Meant to Be
- De Gilbert M. Stack en 12-16-21
one of the best
Revisado: 01-25-25
the narrator does a great job and the substance is very engaging. I only wish there were more than ten lectures to listen to.

Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.

Wonderfully offensive to everyone

I love the way Bill criticizes everyone. Nothing is sacred and everything is sacred. I laughed out loud many times.

Who Do We Choose to Be? is a book that offers a path for leaders to engage wisely with the destructive dynamics of this time that manifest at every level, from individual to organizational to global. We enter the path by facing reality, wanting to see with clarity and discernment where we are and how we got here. Because of her own studies and experiences, Wheatley has chosen to use the lens of new science to understand where we are and why we ended up here.

So disappointed by harping on technology
Revisado: 01-18-21
I thought I'd enjoy this book as I've read essays by Margaret Wheatley that led me to believe we had common ideals. If she had stuck with "claiming leadership and "restoring sanity" we might have seen eye-to-eye. But every single chapter she harped about the use of technology - and especially the internet - which really bothered me. Combined with the fact that she narrates this book herself using her old woman's voice... it comes across like the worst scolding of your life. She obviously has no context for understanding that the internet IS A COMMUNITY SPACE TOO. All she does is lament the alienation of people who are separated from their tribes and nature due to this horrible network. It pissed me off that she's not just missing out on it herself, but leading others to miss this opportunity for connection and organizing. So very disappointed by her tone and blindness. Other than that, she did include some gems on developing leadership, or I wouldn't have finished the book. But the crap I had to wade through to find those gems wasn't worth it.

Best Learning experience possible
Revisado: 01-21-18
This book was exactly what I needed. I’m an intermediate Spanish speaker but needed a lot of work on understanding the spoken language. After listening to the chapters with the transcription open, I’d re-listen again without it and was really able to understand it like never before. I will definitely listen to the whole book again, as it adds such traction on a skill I still lack.
