This was a pretty good book. It's very inspirational, but not very prescriptive. There's a lot of "this is what's wrong with the world" and "this the the ideal". Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of practical advice. It's still a must read for leaders in any type of business.

An amazingly insightful book, How We Learn covers the body of scientific study that analyzes how we can better ourselves and maximize learning. I loved how the author went into the details of each study, how the tests were setup, and gave critical analysis. I will need to keep this book around as reference and review.

This audiobook is staying on my phone permanently. To me, this touches on several things I've studied over the years from shamanism to existentialism. It's a great reminder that I make my own life.

While not a comprehensive take on management or what it takes to run a company, it's a wonderful, quick read. There are tons of nuggets for anyone at the executive level or those striving to be. Personally, the timing of me finding this book is wonderfully lucky. I can't wait for the next chapter of my professional career!

A very entertaining story, but I had way too high expectations. It was a fun read, even if I figured out the plot twist. I would recommend this book for the interesting plot, plus the theology presented is unique and makes you ponder.

If you have a kid with autism, a friend with autism, work with autistic kids, or would love to know what goes on inside their beautiful brains, you haven't to read this book. It is written by a 13 year old Japanese boy. The format is a basic question and answer format with stories interspersed. It's very eye-opening and points out to me where I need to me more patient with my boys. This will be a book I reread a bunch to remind me the struggles my son's go through just to live in our world.

Good little read and great reminders. If you have never taken any defensive fighting courses, many of the concepts will be new. Either way, it's worth a read, especially since you can get through it in a couple of hours.

I had high hopes for this book. I love scams and tricks, and the review I read of this book described it as the encyclopedia on the matter. Unfortunately, it's very dated and seems to address a bygone era of scamsters. And the Amazon ebook format is horrible. Many time the images are referring to paragraphs several pages back. It's a good book to poke through, but painful to read cover to cover.

14 books. 11,916 pages. 684 chapters. 4,056,130 words. It took almost 23 years to write, and it took me 10 months to read it. The story is beyond epic, or as Thom Merrilin says, "exquisite". Like many of the epic series I have read (Ringworld, Dune), I am sad to be leaving all the characters. This was my first huge fantasy series (Lord of the Rings seems small compared to this series) and was a great ride. This last book was by far the funnest read. There some surprises I didn't see coming, both good and bad.

Sigh, what to do now? Back to Sci-fi? I think going into another fantasy series wouldn't be fun, since all I will do is compare it to WoT. I hear rumors of an video game. Maybe we can convince Brandon Sanderson to do a fourth age book (or two).

13 out of 14 books done and I am foaming at the mouth. This books was one of the best, with tons of actions and a couple of good surprises! One book left. I will be sad to leave this group of characters.

Wow, what a great book! I am going to tear through the last 2 books now. The story has picked up pace and you know the end is soon. I was biting my nails at times and streaming, "yay!" at others. Looking forward to the rest!

Woohoo, the series is back on track! After a grueling 10th book, number 11 reminded me while I love this series. It left me wanting more. And now I have only 3 books left!
