Fantastic History of America during the Cold War
Revisado: 10-01-24
This was a great book that explained the ins-and-outs of the power struggles during the post war period and the early onset of the Cold War. While very long, I found the last few chapters on the Kennedys most intriguing. I did appreciate that the author seemed to not take large steps of assumption on fact, and instead left some of the missing clues up to the reader to decide and acknowledge.

Historia
Caesar Augustus's story, one of the most riveting in western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him "a boy who owes everything to a name," but in the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC.

Great Narrative that tied in a lot of facts and unknowns
Revisado: 02-15-24
This book provided a great overview of not only Augustus’ life, but the events that set the stage for when he was alive and reigned. The author tied together an intriguing narrative that was very informative and acknowledged when some sources were unreliable or if there were several working theories by historians on what really happened. Great book!

Historia
In most domains of life, skill and luck seem hopelessly entangled. Different levels of skill and varying degrees of good and bad luck are the realities that shape our lives - yet few of us are adept at accurately distinguishing between the two. Imagine what we could accomplish if we were able to tease out these two threads, examine them, and use the resulting knowledge to make better decisions. In this provocative audiobook, Michael Mauboussin helps to untangle these intricate strands.

Great topic
Revisado: 09-27-23
This was an interesting topic that covered the difference between luck and skill. It also explained how disrupters/disadvantaged opponents need to change the game to get an edge by over complicating the game. There were several examples and it probably could have been a little shorter, but still very good!
