Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?

Maybe I’m missing something, but this book seems to just drag on and on repeating the same thing in different ways. I’m not a tech or “knowledge” worker, but I do own a business. I found very little of this information new and couldn’t bring myself to finish the book.

Earth failed. In a desperate bid to escape, the spaceship Enkidu and its captain, Heorest Holt, carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later, this fragile colony has managed to survive, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost. Then strangers appear. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling technology–and they've arrived from another world to help humanity’s colonies. But not all is as it seems, and the price of the strangers' help may be the colony itself.

It took a long time before I started enjoying the book. It’s very difficult to follow, jumping around the timeline. But I enjoyed the thought provoking concept that finally emerged.

Elwood Blues (aka Dan Aykroyd) is on another mission—to tell the full story of how two young actors went from blues lovers to Blues Brothers. In this fascinating audio documentary Aykroyd “gets the band back together”, taking listeners on a road trip through time—from late nights in the early days with John Belushi at Dan’s speakeasy in Toronto, to working with blues legends Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and Ray Charles on The Blues Brothers movie, through the founding of House of Blues, the Blues Brothers 2000 sequel, and beyond.

Poor cited research
Reviewed: 07-13-24
This author clearly suffers from confirmation bias. One of the studies he cites about DNA untwisting is widely criticized. He of course leaves this fact out. This is a shame as there is a lot of scientific support for the benefits of mediation, just not the ones he claims…

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,853
Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 92
Wilbur and Orville Wright are two of the greatest innovators in history, and together they solved the centuries-old riddle of powered, heavier-than-air flight. Glenn Hammond Curtiss was the most talented machinist of his day; he first became the fastest man alive when he perfected the motorcycle, then turned his eyes toward the skies to become the fastest man aloft. But between the Wrights and Curtiss bloomed a poisonous rivalry and a patent war so powerful that it shaped aviation in its early years and drove one of the three men to his grave.

Fantastic new angle on the birth of aviation.
Reviewed: 08-05-22
First- I read David McCullough’s “Wright Brothers” in which David put the Wright’s on an impossibly high pedestal. I wanted to believe this view, but something told me there was more to the story, as there usually is.
Birdmen was the other side of this coin. Although throughout the book I felt the author simply took the opposing view, in the end I feel he did an excellent job of giving a “lay of the land”. The Wright’s were very, very human.
As a pilot I can’t recommend this book enough. The narration is simply put… Horrible! BUT if you really want to know what the first decade of flight looked like, this book is an excellent start. I do also recommend “Wright Brothers” but listen with your eyes wide open!

In Plays Well With Others, Eric Barker dives into these questions, drawing on science to reveal the truth beyond the conventional wisdom about human relationships. Combining his compelling storytelling and humor, Barker explains what hostage negotiation techniques and marital arguments have in common, how an expert con-man lied his way into a twenty-year professional soccer career, and why those holding views diametrically opposed to our own actually have the potential to become our closest, most trusted friends.

Phenomenal book. Eric takes through his unique scientific and witty explanation of what makes people tick and how form better relationships. He even self admittedly breaks from some of the science and admits that some facts defy logic.
He wraps the book up beautifully at the end as well, but I’m not going to spoil that!
Buy this book yesterday!
