Expected rich world, got just sex

Revisado: 09-28-18

Seriously, this is a book of various sex scenes. I wanted to read about sophisticated life of future human population, how they overcame challenges of overcrowded world, their interests, culture, families, technologies, ... Those topics were extremely shallow in the book, along with the plot. But wait, who needs this if there is sex everywhere!

Too much about everything and thus about nothing

Revisado: 05-28-18

Interesting history of American grig the first half of a book. But the book can be twice as short. When inspirational speech before a battle is 7 hours long, it stops being inspirational. The author tends to structure long sentences by adding long list of adjectives to them. So, a reader forget what a paragraph started with and what’s the point of all those adjectives. Too repetitive narrative and time to time seems leading to nothing. Good insites, but thinly scattered through the book.

I'd like my parents to discipline me like that when I was a kid!

Revisado: 02-03-18

I've read lots of parenting books and so far encountered only two (including this one) which technics not only work but help to bond with your child. This book focuses on not how to make your child to do what you want, but how to teach your child so they understand why they need to behave that way. And this is one of the biggest parenting goals to make our children independent adults, who knows how to make good choices whether they are with us or not.

Sometimes it's a bit repetitive but this makes you see author message from various sides and remember it.

The second best book about parenting is "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, and How to Listen So Kids Will Talk" Adele Faber. Another book about respectful parenting. Strongly recommend both books!

Good introduction into the subject

Revisado: 12-22-17

Very good general information about how communication works, but not what I expected from the course. I wanted more practical exercises how to improve my communication skills.

Don't know whom this book for...

Revisado: 11-29-17

Book doesn't have any structure, various algorithms are described with different level of details. But I did found some very interesting information inside. If you are bored in the beginning of the book, just start from the middle.

Must listen!

Revisado: 06-21-17

We are what we eat. There always will be a friend or a relative who are happy to give you advise on what you should eat (along with how you should live), there always will be a new hip diet, there always will be a new research that chocolate helps to loose weigh, and so on. This lecture will arm you with the science behind food, and help to look critically at all food related talks around you.

I was obsessed with this book for two awesome weeks!

Revisado: 03-31-17

Read it! Read it now!

The love story plot line is a bit naive, but the universe is stunning! Can't wait for a movie to come out in 2018!

More talking about what's bad than what's good for your child

Revisado: 01-08-17

Don't get me wrong, it's a great parenting book and must read for all parents who are nervous about not providing their kids with all skills they need to compete in our fast developing world.

I knew that quality time with your child is more important than strict schedule of various group activities. So, I found myself constantly skipping the parts which persuade me of thinks that I already agree with.

If you're looking for a book with practical advise how to enrich time with your child – don't expect much from this book.

If you're looking for general direction on what to focus along your parenting journey – this is a great reading.

Very general

Revisado: 11-19-16

Very general, but good book to begin with if you're interested in lean system. Grover Gardner reads the book with good pace, really enjoyed listening to him.
