Everyone seems to agree that we have an epidemic of what is diagnosed as autism. But, in the history of our society, there has never been "an epidemic" of any developmental or genetic disorder. Yet, over the span of thirty years, autism has gone from affecting one in 5,000 children to one in 90, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So what is this "autism", which has come to affect the lives of so many?

I thought this would be comedic, lol--but I listened until I was halfway through before realizing Rob just wanted to portray himself as a sex symbol instead of a comedian and there weren't going to be nuggets of wisdom or insight either.

Phil is consistent in his recommendations regarding indexes and asset allocations. Also, he does not allow donations so that's great too.

This is the first personal finance book I've read that talks about managing wealth for retirement AND navigating bankruptcy or foreclosure (houses and IRAs are not included in bankruptcy, which is a good thing if you knew that before withdrawing all your house or investment equity)

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 646
The Fearless Organization offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent, but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule, or intimidate.

A century ago very few people dreamed of space travel. Today it is the most daring and technologically sophisticated quest ever undertaken, being driven not just by government agencies such as NASA and ESA, but also by visionaries such as Richard Branson (Virgin Galactic), Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Jeff Bezos (Blue Origin). To mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, this major drama-documentary series charts the definitive story of the past, present and future of humankind’s exploration of space. The Space Race is narrated by Kate Mulgrew and features a full cast.

Reviewed: 07-18-20
a bit literally preachy (Christian).
I guess I don't like the historical figures portrayed?
At least they mentioned that women were trained to be astronauts in the sixties before being arbitrarily fired.
The portrayal of the future didn't get much closer to society's ideals and did have preachy characters and an odd fixation on religion (and they didn't even mention being fair as far as nonreligious cultural practices/being multicultural, censoring individualistic philosophy)

While the North prevailed in the Civil War, ending slavery and giving the country a "new birth of freedom," Heather Cox Richardson argues in this provocative work that democracy's blood-soaked victory was ephemeral. The system that had sustained the defeated South moved westward and there established a foothold. It was a natural fit. Settlers from the East had for decades been pushing into the West, where the seizure of Mexican lands at the end of the Mexican-American War and treatment of Native Americans cemented racial hierarchies....

spoilers? I'm practicing verbalizing the lesson
Reviewed: 06-11-20
At the end I reflected on what had stayed constant in the ideology of the South as it migrated parties, etc. The author said the American Paradox, I need your freedom to be curtailed for my liberty, and valuing property rights above all other Human Rights, Blacks have less support (all of that typically guised in "rugged individualism")

Often blamed for the rising rates of obesity and diabetes among black Americans, fast food restaurants like McDonald's have long symbolized capitalism's villainous effects on our nation's most vulnerable communities. But how did fast food restaurants so thoroughly saturate black neighborhoods in the first place? In Franchise, acclaimed historian Marcia Chatelain uncovers a surprising history of cooperation among fast food companies, black capitalists, and civil rights leaders, who believed they found an economic answer to the problem of racial inequality.

I loved the use of franchises to examine how Capitalism has (and hasn't because it can't) helped Black Americans. I wish the performer of Warmth of Other Suns had done this book though, it can feel lectureish despite the colorful anecdotes.
