Historia
He was in a gang but was trying to change his future, when a board member of the elite advanced academy NEXUS made a snap decision and offered him a chance. Then fate, or an unbalanced genius, offered him another. The Nexus Academy is for the elite trainees from Earth, and now trials from our alien allies, as they teach the future generation how to fight, lead, hack, spy, and many other talents and tactics. Hired by companies, governments, and NGOs, these graduates work to pay off the massive debt their training at the academy accumulates.

Historia
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

A victim of its own statements and philosophy. This book was written, pre-Covid, and obviously so. 
Revisado: 01-11-24
The author made some good points, particularly about living below your means, in order to live longer, not working life. Most adults today have not experienced the traumas that their parents and grandparents experienced so we live in a very different world. And the author points these out and explains the difference today in the past.

Medical perspective in the current world
Revisado: 09-20-23
I like the way Attia presented medicine as in a second and third stage. The power of our internal critic is well illustrated in this work. The perspective on prevention as the best way to stay healthy is strongly presented.
He some times retells parts of the story but it appears that those are the things he believes to be most important. I am in full agreement that we must work diligently to improve the mental health of our society and gives a perspective of the needed approach. An excellent read.

Historia
Not every danger comes in the form of a mega-threat like a Titan. Some predators are a lot cozier...more personal. When one such creature threatens an independent tutor, Harry Dresden must shake off the blood and dirt of his most recent battles and rise to the occasion, even when it turns out that the new predator is far more dangerous and connected than first appearances would suggest.

As always Butcher tells a good story. The characters are familiar as is tue story. I enjoyed hearing his voice but I hope he focuses on writing in the future. I look forward to reading his future work.

Historia
James Patterson’s thrilling adventure series gets an exclusive, audio-only origin story in Daniel X: Genesis, brought to life by an all-star cast. We meet Daniel, an ordinary teen just trying to navigate his way through high school. That all changes when he discovers he has super powers and can conjure up anything, at any time, just by imagining it. Suddenly he’s meeting powerful entities who tell him he is not, in fact, a typical teenage human but an alien...and his parents died not in a car wreck but in an epic battle with an intergalactic villain.

A quick two hour listen. Fun and easy.The characters are young and inexperienced to solve the worlds problems. Just like normal young people today think they can without any experience.

Relevant thinking for today
Revisado: 01-06-22
This is a classic story of human nature played out against a long time period. The ruthless, altruistic and benign actions of humans is shown clearly with the separation from current time to allow a bit of perspective. The Foundation moves toward their long term goals with the injection of powerful individuals that keep the empire moving forward to reformation. A touch dated but absolutely addressing todays political activities.

Realistic characters and action

The story is appropriately convoluted and the actions moves smoothly. Not a yawner with an easy to see climax. The writing is crisp and enjoyable.

Historia
Bayr of Saylok, bastard son of a powerful and jealous chieftain, is haunted by the curse once leveled by his dying mother. Bartered, abandoned, and rarely loved, she plagued the land with her words: From this day forward, there will be no daughters in Saylok. Raised among the Keepers at Temple Hill, Bayr is gifted with inhuman strength. But he’s also blessed with an all-too-human heart that beats with one purpose: to protect Alba, the first girl child born in nearly two decades and the salvation for a country at risk.

The story building has all the elements of mythic tragedy. While the gods play their part the people fulfill the destiny’s. Magda and Desdemoda start this story and Bears fulfills his destiny while meeting the women who makes him complete. Well told story.
