A bit redundant
Reviewed: 10-21-19
I haven't read too many autobiographies but I have to say this one that's a bit too detailed I feel like I went through a year-by-year every accomplishment Steve Jobs has ever touched not so much in what he could have inspired the Next Generation. which is what I was expecting.

Story
America's elite have been using cash value life insurance to stockpile wealth for centuries. Used correctly, it is better described as a personal bank on steroids, and a financial bunker for tough times. To be clear, this audiobook is not about the typical garbage peddled by most insurance agents. Rather, an alternative to the risky investment strategies taught by Wall Street. It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

Creativity, Inc. is a manual for anyone who strives for originality and the first-ever all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and “Braintrust” sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about creativity - but it is also, as Pixar cofounder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible”.

Captivating. thrilling, exiting, touching, insightful, modern, the good adjectives can go on for a while. The twist is the end is just what you needed. Only one thing I wasn't a big fan of was the way things got explained in the last section ( trying to afford spoilers) but still is an amazing book

As informative books go this is by far the shortest I've read. Not sure if poorly written or poorly read by performer; but i have no better understanding of lucid dreams. I feel the words " in a research" were just thrownaround without facts. Idk

Reviewed: 02-19-19
A MUST READ. Real raw robust a bit redundant but with tons of great ideas on how to deal with some of our personal shit. Just an opinion some of the conclusions felt a bit directed or somewhat guided, but the message is still there. I feel I have and we all have a little bit of each and everone of those issues. i didn't personally relate to a specific one but a little bit on all. Look at me being redundant.

Story
One of Charles Bukowski's best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next.

it's got a few good ideas,but it vines from a childless mind which lacksthe experience to back their ideas. Which I think would make a substantial difference. Also different kids from different financial backgrounds take different systems.
