The Price to Pay for Appeasement

Revisado: 08-02-20

Besides being a lesson on appeasement, this book also serves as a wider critique on business leaders and mega-millionaires who have no choice to involve themselves in politics. We know the story already, and so there is nothing shocking that comes from the end of the bigger story. The shock instead comes from the pitiful ways in which otherwise fine men might act and the individual men (mostly)—great and common—who dealt with the extreme terror that surrounded them. It makes you wonder what you might do in this situation.

The writing is brilliant, putting you right in the center of whatever situation the principal players find themselves and the condemnation in the narrator’s voice is justified for this type of narrative.

I was also wonderfully pleased by the small “fun” facts scattered about the book. I’m a huge WWll fan, and this book still resonated with me in a profound way.

Practical and Important

Revisado: 07-12-20

In the world of self-help (chock full of positivity and affirmations ) this book gives a real, practical guide (based on an actual psycho-analytic approach) to improving your life. It is refreshing and just different enough to have left an impression on me. I plan on implanting what Harris has recommended, including in my own pursuits and recommend giving this a read. Everyone can benefit, but not everyone may find what Harris talks about easy to do.

Disclaimer!
The overall message does not actually revolve around confidence (contrary to the title); however, it does deal with the principals of confidence indirectly. In essence, the tips and mindful strategies presented not only help with happiness and leading a fulfilling life, it also helps with confidence.
