For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

A timely investigation of the causes of technological and scientific stagnation, and a radical blueprint for accelerating innovation. From the Moon landing to the dawning of the atomic age, the decades prior to the 1970s were characterized by the routine invention of transformative technologies at breakneck speed. By comparison, ours is an age of stagnation. Median wage growth has slowed, inequality and income concentration are on the rise, and scientific research has become increasingly expensive and incremental.

When her father leaves the Church, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. In North and South Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.

Pomp is a great man!
As a man one year younger than Anthony, and having been a follower now for a few years, and listening to his self-narrated book, I'm most impressed with him. He has one very fortunate wife and two very fortunate children to have him in their life as their "man".

Teach them how to fish
I am a little older than Anthony with two young boys of my own. I will be sharing these wise words to my boys over the years along with my own life teachings.
I did not have this growing up and for many years of my adult life I have had to play catch up and still am. But this is what is needed for me to help pass some things on to them and for them to see that I am still learning as well.
Thank you Pomp for sharing these special letters to us all.
I’ll be looking forward to a second edition years down the road. 🫡

Anthony has a knack for observation and pattern matching. He is able to spot trends, see truth in places others don’t, and find the threads running through life. He’s a clear and straightforward storyteller and teacher in this book. I appreciate and resonate with so many of the letters he’s written to his children in this book. They are not just for them, they are for all of us.

His name should be Anthony Pompous Pompliano
Overall the book was enjoyable. Several things stuck out to me. Anthony discusses only positioning himself with or being friends with successful people that can benefit him in some way. Also, he recounts a discussion with his father that his father advises him he should turn his back on his childhood friends because at 21 they didn’t have the same drive he had. And this is what he’s teaching his kids. Therefore setting up another generation of people like him. Pompous jerks. Go get yours my friend at all costs.
