Fantastic Guided Tour of Stevie Wonder
Revisado: 03-01-25
I thought I appreciated Stevie Wonder's music already, but this documentary helped me deepen and expand my awe of his talent and innovation. The historical perspective offered by Morris and his many interviewees was priceless. Thank you, thank you!

Incredible story about the best of humanity
Revisado: 11-11-24
This story was a compilation of individual stories from the passengers of flights caught in the chaos of 911 and the amazing Canadian community that took them in. I laughed, cried and was inspired. A must read for others.

A Must Read

At first, I read this as a feminist but quickly realized that everyone needs to read this. To understand rape culture and particularly how we are raising our young men. The impact statement went viral but this book beautiful and heavy tells the story behind it.

Historia
In the summer of 1990, Eddie Vedder left the surf and sun in San Diego to join a group of friends working to put a new band together in the Seattle underground. Within months, they were anything but underground; they’d found their lead singer, and Vedder went on to lead Pearl Jam on a global takeover of ‘90s culture. In this latest edition of Audible’s Words + Music series, Vedder dives deep, reflecting on a life at the intersection of art, sensitivity, and masculinity.

Eddie Vedder is captivating
Revisado: 12-20-21
Listening to Eddie Vedder describe his journey as an artist and band member was inspiring enough, but add to that exclusive performances of select songs, his words were transformed back into his art. Gorgeous. Highly recommend.

Historia
Every day, we find ourselves in gatherings, Priya Parker says in The Art of Gathering. If we can understand what makes these gatherings effective and memorable, then we can reframe and redirect them to benefit everyone, host and guest alike. Parker defines a gathering as three or more people who come together for a specific purpose. When we understand why we gather, she says - to acknowledge, to learn, to challenge, to change - we learn how to organize gatherings that are relevant and memorable.

Historia
The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

If you ever thought about becoming a park ranger..
Revisado: 10-12-21
I'm among good company, people who day dream about working in the National Parks. Hearing actual stories of what this work involves gives great insight into the reality of the job. You leave with a better appreciation for the danger, humility, and technical skill needed and hopefully become a more respectful and responsible patron.

Historia
Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success - and survival - is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst and enjoy every moment of it.

Great perspectives on life, leadership, careers
Revisado: 08-30-21
Really enjoyed heading all the stories about life as an astronaut. I learned so much about the behind the scenes support, preparation and research. Fascinating. Also especially appreciated the insight on "climbing down the ladder" and how humility and self-awareness have a huge impact. Great book!

Historia
Tariq Trotter, a.k.a. Black Thought, sits firmly within the pantheon of hip-hop’s greatest MCs. But the cofounder of the multiplatinum-selling hip-hop band The Roots is best understood not through all trophies and awards, but the sheer weight of his lyrical force. In 7 Years, Trotter’s new addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, the prolific rapper examines his life and career in dynamic seven-year increments.

I'm a big fan of Tariq's so listening to him tell his story was a gift. Really gives insight to growing up in Philly, becoming an artist and still having to overcome barriers and systems that must change. The music woven throughout is wonderful. Thank you!

Historia
In Being Mortal, best-selling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending. Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit.

A Must Read For Everyone
Revisado: 07-26-21
As the daughter of an aging mother, I thought this book would help me learn how to support her decision making overv time. I didn't expect it to have so much meaning for my own life, the lives of my friends, family and even my children. I'm recommending this book for everyone I know.
