For more than 30 years, humankind has known how to grow enough food to end chronic hunger worldwide. Yet while the Green Revolution succeeded in South America and Asia, it never got to Africa. More than 9 million people every year die of hunger, malnutrition, and related diseases every yearmost of them in Africa and most of them children. More die of hunger in Africa than from AIDS and malaria combined. Now, an impending global food crisis threatens to make things worse.

Excellent, well written
Revisado: 05-13-22
A great intro on the systemic causes of poverty and famine in Africa. I learned a lot about the work of Norman Borlaug, and how different policies and initiatives have helped or hurt poor farmers in Africa.

Incredibly practical and riveting
Revisado: 12-05-17
What made the experience of listening to Never Split the Difference the most enjoyable?
The narration is great, and this book changed how I look at relationships in all aspects of my life. It has a lot of very practical tips for negotiation, but they are difficult to implement, it takes practice. The stories and examples used in the book are very intriguing and memorable.

Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking audiobook, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory - the most advanced relationship science in existence today - can help us find and sustain love. Attachment theory forms the basis for many best-selling books on the parent/child relationship, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating science has to tell us about adult romantic relationships - until now.

Great insight on relationship arguments
Revisado: 11-03-17
Found this book extremely helpful. I especially liked learning about how different people have different capacities for intimacy. And the distinction between bread and butter arguments and intimacy arguments.

This wise, stirring book argues that the search for meaning can immeasurably deepen our lives and is far more fulfilling than the pursuit of personal happiness. There is a myth in our culture that the search for meaning is some esoteric pursuit - that you have to travel to a distant monastery or page through dusty volumes to figure out life's great secret. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us - right here, right now.

Meandering
Revisado: 09-27-17
I really liked an article the author wrote about meaning, so I bought this audio book. However the book felt unfocused, like a string of meandering stories about meaning. The research is interesting but the book didn't feel cohesive to me. I wish it was more practical, for example instead of just describing research and anecdotes, linking it directly back to ideas for actions and questions the reader (listener) can ask about and investigate in her own life. A book with a subtitle "Crafting a life that matters" should address meaning more directly in the readers own life. It also would have helped to have the ideas distilled more clearly into a framework that is easier to remember. The case studies are good but I find I have an unusually difficult time remembering the main points in this book to share with others. Usually it's easy for me to remember the main lessons from books like this, to bring into conversation and recommend the book to friends. This one I won't be recommending, because the main lessons were not "sticky" enough. I might as well have not have listened to the book at all.
