desire & humility

Revisado: 08-19-24

Through the personal story of Joe Rance, the author shows us that some, perhaps all, great endeavors in life require a reliance on others with a mix of altruism, that drives one to be his best, no matter the hardship.

A must read for everyone!

Revisado: 11-01-22

Unfortunately, most will not have enough of an open mind to consider Ms. Wolf's insight and wisdom. She speaks to the broadest spectrum of humanity, nay, humanity itself. We owe a reading and passing on of this book to all future generations, especially our own children and grandchildren. We must not forget the grave inhumanity most of us blithely leveled against our family, friends, neighbour's and society.

May be the one thing you needed to hear...

Revisado: 02-28-22

I can't say that I would recommend this book to everyone, but if you struggle with anything resembling anxiety, depression, despair, or procrastination (both spiritual &/or manual), the author may just say something about her battles with acedia that will help you embrace your vocation of living the quotidian (daily, day-to-day).

Excellent summary with some commentary

Revisado: 06-06-21

I took one star off for performance because of the music (it is unneeded) and the reading is too slow (but I sped it up 15% I the app and it was fine)

Must read...

Revisado: 11-04-20

if you wish to understand how the lust for power and how racial and national division can be accepted, even by and we'll educated people. If you think it can't happen again, you're delusional! c.f. brown shirts to Antifa & BLM

A must read whether you agree with him or not.

Revisado: 11-02-20

It is not possible to approach any idea with a completely open mind. We are all formed, in some way, by the experiences and judgments of our lives up to that point. As Dilbert creator Scott Adams says, we see things through our own filter.
Though I am a very traditional Catholic, if I did not read (listen) to The Madness of the Crowd simply because the author is a homosexual, I would have been deprived of his thoughtful considerations of our present discord.
My chief takeaways are:
1. We can better understand the intangible complexity of transgenderism by first struggling with the tangible difficulties facing the intersex person.
2. Resolution of conflicts is made almost impossible in the age of social media and historical tweet mining (leading to personal attack and distruction). This has replaced the more human resolution by peaceful assembly, as witnessed by de Tocqueville in 1830's America.

Good from a secular perspective

Revisado: 07-09-20

Mr. Shellenberger's book is excellent! He is operating from a renaissance humanist perspective, which sees man as a special species with a love of nature.
He doesn't address evil as such, since he's a secularist. But he does recognize love, and that is important. This does not make him any less of a scientist or researcher. He has the experience and understanding to back up his thesis.
Please read this book if you love the earth and your fellow man.

The reading was below average.

Revisado: 04-24-20

and the editing was terrible; different levels, different closeness to the mic, even in the middle of a paragraph.
The book is good. I finished reading it on Kindle. Reading the Kingdom of Speech now.

Uncommon common sense

Revisado: 10-28-19

Uncommon common sense. It confirmed for me that there are some human, old fashioned things you just have to do, no matter what the promise of technology.

Read this if you want...

Revisado: 06-18-19

Read this if you want to know the difference between being an amateur and being a pro. if you're struggling to go pro, you'll recognize what Pressfield is talking about.
