Historia
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

Good Book & Narration
Revisado: 03-02-24
This was an easy to listen to book that makes you (re) think. He used many examples and his scientist basis is something i could relate to but some people may think it is nerdy.

Historia
For countless Americans, the open road has long been a place where dangers lurk. In the era of Jim Crow, Black travelers encountered locked doors, hostile police, and potentially violent encounters almost everywhere, in both the South and the North. From 1936 to 1967, millions relied on The Negro Motorist Green Book, the definitive guide to businesses where they could safely rest, eat, or sleep.

First-Hand Way to Learn Some History
Revisado: 04-11-23
This book was a first-hand way to learn about recent American history. The book details how the Green Book was conceived, created, and evolved. It explains how the US has changed in the last 80 years. Victor Green, the Guide's creator, was practical, entrepreneurial, and philanthropic in creating a guide enabling black families to travel the roadways of the US. This book provides many stories and antidotes of how black families survived multi-day road trips, including stopping for gas, bathrooms, meals, and lodging. I listened to the book on a road trip. I learned fascinating perspectives on historical events I could remember as a child, such as details about the motel where Martin Luther King was Assinated. The book cites examples of how cities have changed via Urban Development and the construction of the Interstates Roadways that we all use now. We often view these changes as progress, but they can also be scrutinized as how the system keeps the power with the powerful. It is a fascinating book and a good listen detailing how things were and how they have changed over time.

The best of Self Help
Revisado: 08-29-19
This book was informative, entertaining and full of practical advice. I have put some of the James' suggest into practice and they are working. We are creatures of habit BUT we also have the ability to modify our habits inch by inch and change our lives for the better. This is the kind of book that you can listen to a couple of times.
