Story
Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It’s not that he hates his friends and family — he’s not a monster — he’s just beat, which is why his son’s (ruthless) first full sentence, “I’d like to play alone, please,” has since become his mantra.

Reviewed: 09-17-18
There is very little useful info in this book. it comes across more like an advertisement for specific social media stars and an add for his first book. The title implied the book will teach about marketing strategies but it's more about marketing yourself on social media. on a positive note, it did make me think of an idea for my company but that idea came to me in the first 2 or 3 chapters. The rest of the book was just fluff

This book built on all of the other nutrition books I have read. The author sites studies and adds his personal clinical work to give a complete and proper look at nutrition and how ones body uses it.

Story
American history was driven by clashes between those interested in preserving social order and those more interested in pursuing their own desires---the "respectable" versus the "degenerate", the moral versus the immoral. The more that "bad" people existed, resisted, and won, the greater was our common good. In A Renegade History of the United States, Russell introduces us to the origins of our nation's identity as we have never known them before.

Story
Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.

HORIBLE
Reviewed: 12-06-17
"see Steve Prentice is exactly the kind of supposed expert real scientists and real medical doctors will warn you against. I bought this book because it came up as a recommendation from Amazon after buying a different book. He sends off red flags in the opening by admitting to leaving out his references.... probable because he has none. Every piece of supposed info in this book is either pseudoscience or his opinions being passed off as fact. A quick Google search will show a man who is not even healthy himself and with a little research you can learn that chiropracty is not based on any science and was started by a quack. Bottom line.... people like Steve Prentice are bad for the health and medical field and this book was a waste of money.

I personally knew some of the info so those parts were just a little dull. This book however is very important for everyone to read or listen to. It will open your eyes to the tricks and ignorance of the media and many so call experts in science.

This book was interesting only because I am a fan. It lacked a lot of detail on large parts of his life and seamed be be overly poetic. I liked the last half more when the rise of his bands and vineyard where discussed.
