In chronicling the physical and spiritual steps she took to reclaim her life and peel away the layers of damage done by incest, Jenson has written a powerful narrative of one person’s healing journey. And though the subject matter is deeply serious, Jenson writes with her sense of humor firmly intact, reminding us that joy is possible in the face of great pain.

Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.

When he's good, he's very very good
Revisado: 12-05-18
More uneven than Sapiens. Some chapters -- e.g. on Humility & Secularism -- are just wonderful, illuminating. Others -- e.g. on AI -- are redundant, speculative, and a bit obsessive. But overall, it's worth fast forwarding a bit through the sluggish parts to get to the best parts. And the the best are worth re-listening to again and again.
I totally agree with his last chapter on Meditation, and appreciate the author sharing a bit of his personal life. However it's overly long and a bit pedantic and repetitive.

For decades after its founding, America was really two nations—one slave, one free. There were many reasons why this composite nation ultimately broke apart, but the fact that enslaved black people repeatedly risked their lives to flee their masters in the South in search of freedom in the North proved that the "united" states was actually a lie. Fugitive slaves exposed the contradiction between the myth that slavery was a benign institution and the reality that a nation based on the principle of human equality was in fact a prison-house in which millions of Americans had no rights.

a must-read to understand race in America today
Revisado: 11-15-18
it is impossible to understand race and racism in American Life without understanding its Origins in slavery. For that reason alone this book is essential reading. beyond that it illuminates the long understated role of fugitive slaves in building the Abolitionist Movement, and ultimately precipitating along with territorial issues the Civil War. the author makes no pretense of neutrality and his compassion for the oppressed slaves is heard throughout. But he also shows unusual empathy towards moderates in the North who worried that a war might just as easily prolong slavery as ended it. notably, throughout the book he warns against the smugness of hindsight in interpreting the actions of moral people of Goodwill who differed sharply and who in no way could predict the future.
