uses religion to back up a science that is to be taken on faith...

that being said it provides a primitive idea of what financial well-being is.

Smart Mob Novel with Culinary Flair

Revisado: 02-26-21

Goes nicely with a seafood entree or even a veal parm. Just make sure you don't skip the pairing.

A dark comedy that takes you to a side of junked up New York City and the Manhatten dining scene that usually isn't talked about. Fast paced novel that has interesting character development. Realistic as a fun mob crime story can get with a heavy focus around food and kitchen culture.

First Half is a Social Justice Warrior Rambling

Revisado: 10-22-20

First half is not informative or for someone seeking to understand racial differences. Author does not mention a single fact; only anecdotes of prejudice white people to black people until halfway through the book.

Author literally claims whatever she deems is racist is racist because she does not identify as white but as a person of color. First half of the book doesn't get past the race inequalities that exists. It illustrates inequalities are there for black people and she has experienced them. Strong use of identity politics to make it (nearly literally) black vs white. No real mention or investigation of Asian or Hispanic races and their experiences. The book does not do a great job of analyzing the issue, only blaming the current holders of power (which one assumes is monetary) for the state of racism. Only brushes over underlying causes of inequalities or the shortcomings of previous affirmative actions. Not much is said on how race issues exist in other parts of the world.

Author is passionate and her message is one of good value. The main take away is be accepting of all people, their experiences, and opportunities to learn from others. She wants to point out racial issues that exist but America may not be "woke" to regardless of race. For a deeper discussion on race and subliminal prejudice behavior in America, White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo is recommended.

biography, history, and a story

Revisado: 08-17-20

predating and influencing the Gonzo style type journalism this is a story with insight to Ken keasey's life. it will take you back in time to a bygone era to a generation in between the beats and the hippies. Wolfe explains the facts and the feelings behind the psychedelic movement. he keeps a balance perspective of inside out and outside in views by the end you feel that you understand and experienced a moment in history.

Good information put to military stories.

Revisado: 05-04-20

Solid advice but nothing revolutionary if you have read management books of similar sorts in the last 5 years. Overviews very fundamental management techniques and how he implemented them in the military. Very general principals and tells stories to help the techniques set in.

Just one long commerical for GrabCAD

Revisado: 06-20-19

I feel as is I should be paid for listening. Listened for 2 hours and it's just one big GrabCAD promotion. I was excited about the CEO's story, Product Design and Mechanical Engineering.

The entire book can be summed up with "For Design you must learn 3D CAD, use GrabCAD for that it's the future".
