In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

Glad I read this

Thank you for telling your story in your own words. I grew up listening to your music. I wasn’t a super fan or anything, but always thought the way the paps hunted all you celebs for sport was absolutely disgusting.
The stories they’d fabricate just didn’t track for me. But this story does. Again, thanks for telling it.
The only thing that would have made the audio book better, would have been your voice narrating. Hearing the authors words that way is always special. With that said I completely respect your decision not to, and Michelle did an excellent job.

The New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur investigates what would happen if a new financial world order took hold, one in which global elites own everything and you own nothing—and yet you are somehow happy. In You Will Own Nothing¸ Roth reveals how the agendas of Wall Street, world governments, international organizations, socialist activists, and multinational corporations like Blackrock all work together to reduce the power of the dollar and prevent millions of Americans from taking control of their wealth.

Can’t get past the first chapter
Reviewed: 07-26-23
I was expecting a book about finance but so far all its doing is whining with very little mention of anything connected to the title. This book reads like a bait and switch.
I read a lot and its rare that I do this…. But I’m not going to finish this one. Its disappointing.

Many of us are aware of the ethical minefield that is fast fashion: the dodgy labor practices, the lax environmental standards, and the mountains of waste piling up on the shores of developing countries. But have you stopped to consider the dangerous effects your clothes are having on your own health? Award-winning journalist Alden Wicker breaks open a story hiding in plain sight: the unregulated toxic chemicals that are likely in your wardrobe right now, how they’re harming you, and what you can do about it.

Left speechless, how are these practices legal

…. Capitalism strikes again.
It seems the more I read, the more I inform myself, and the more I learn, profit is always more important than the health and well-being of consumers. Alden’s book acutely depicts this theme in fashion and textile industries.
I’ve purchased this as an audiobook, but given the nature and depth of research that has gone into the body of work, i’ll be purchasing a hard copy as well to gain access to the references.

Dare to read something challenging
Reviewed: 11-19-22
I’ve often believed that when I pick up a book to read it, its important that it be something that challenges me and something that stands to teach me. Anyone can write a feel good book about positive futures but Nouriel has written one about very real problems that we as the human race will face if we continue to ignore exploring possible solutions. As I write this review the US economy is heading toward a prolonged bear market and in many finance groups I follow the narrative is usually “Where’s the bottom?” With very little discussion on how we got there or how to prevent it in the future.
I’ll be reading this one again, but with a notebook by my side.
