Some interesting quotes but mostly fluff

Revisado: 05-31-23

I heard several quotes from this book that were interesting enough to make me buy it but I was generally unimpressed. There was a lot of repetition and one liners directed at men that are not happy, feel marginalized, or powerless but I don’t think it offers much if you regularly get after if and are already a man. It’s short so ugh t be worth checking out if you’re looking for some introspection and critic of modern culture.

Best management book ever

Revisado: 10-21-22

So many of these books have no actionable information but are full of theoretical “it depends”. Principles is full of useful, practical common sense guidance.

Great intro to a wide range of topics.

Revisado: 04-16-22

This work covers a wide range of topics from scientific experimentation to game theory in an easy to follow lecture format. Some of the lectures refer to pictures or graphs but not enough to detract from the overall quality of the material. This is a good listen and might prompt you to watch the video.

Not very convincing

Revisado: 08-31-21

The audio book is well read and entertaining but I was looking for a book that would convince me to change my mind with facts and examples to illustrate how socialism could work. This book was more an idealistic appeal to the readers emotions. Worth the time to hear the perspective from the other side.

Another excellent Sowell book!

Revisado: 10-08-20

Thomas Sowell had back in the 80’s too! I love his by the facts approach and his in-depth style of writing. I had some initial misgivings about the relevance because of when this book was written but if he didn’t use so many dates I would have thought it was written last year. You can tell it was written by a younger Sowell if you’ve read a lot of his books but only because there’s a difference in the way it is written and maybe the reader’s voice.

The only thing I would add is a new forward or companion book that compared our current situation to the situation he writes about.

Interesting topic but dry

Revisado: 09-25-20

I was looking for something that went more into the tactics involved in counter insurgency and their application. This book is more of a high level overview of the development of tactics without much time wasted on what those tactics were.

Informative and interesting

Revisado: 09-25-20

Great book, Owens does an excellent job reading this book. It’s obvious from the emotion and inflection in her reading that she is the author. The book is full of facts to illustrate her points but also includes a lot of personal anecdotes that kept me engaged. There’s a definite Christian message which I can do without but it is not enough to turn off non Christians.

Highly recommend Black Out to anyone interested in the racial debate that’s overwhelming current affairs.

Great starter for understanding the constitution

Revisado: 07-15-20

The lecture series is a great way to structure this information, it’s broken up into 25 minute segments that are perfect for commutes. The speaker goes into a lot of detail about the origination of the constitution, amendments, and hand picked Supreme Court cases. The audio quality isn’t perfect when compared to the high production standards of audiobooks but it is good for the lecture format. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone interested in the constitution and our country.
