Publisher's summary
From the hero whistleblower of the infamous Theranos scam, Thicker than Water is a look at never-before-revealed details behind closed doors at the company, revealing a cautionary tale of corporate bullying, gaslighting, ego, and wealth running amok in Silicon Valley.
Tyler Shultz had been in the workforce for less than a year when he emailed Elizabeth Holmes, his employer and the CEO and founder of Theranos, with concerns that the company’s lab practices were faulty, ignored quality control, and were potentially dangerous to patients. The COO fired back with a dismissive and insulting email, to which Tyler replied: “Consider this my two weeks’ notice.”
From there, his life spun out of control at the hand of Elizabeth, her team of high-powered lawyers, and the patriarch of Tyler’s own family George Shultz - one of America’s most prominent statesmen - who sat among the top of the Theranos board of directors. And yet, Tyler forged on. To protect his own conscience, the honor and reputation of his grandfather, and the health of patients worldwide.
Thicker than Water is Tyler’s as-told-to story - a harrowing and heartbreaking roller coaster of biomedical drama, family intrigue, and redemption - that will ultimately make you feel as though you are at a dinner party, seated next to a brilliant friend with one hell of a story.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion.

Story
In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you own a car).

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

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.

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.

Story
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.

On his 11th birthday, Jackson is nervous about moving up to middle school where he knows he'll be bullied by older kids, so he makes his wish, "I don't want to grow up!"

Jackson is the smartest kid in his class, the best on his baseball team, and the star of the school band. But after a few years of being eleven, he realizes his life is passing him by.

During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

From the labs and marketing departments of big pharma to local doctor's offices; wealthy suburbs to distressed small communities in Central Appalachia; from distant cities to once-idyllic farm towns; the spread of opioid addiction follows a tortuous trajectory that illustrates how this crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Even scientists can get taken in by a good con
Amazing story of strength and integrity in the face of the rich and powerful. Fascinating how even scientists and skeptics could be lulled into accepting junk science due to a polished conwoman, hubris, fear or financial necessity. Scary how easily might makes right, how greed overshadows better virtues, and how the legal system can be weaponized. Ironic that I believe and buy into Tyler Shultz’s persuasively told tale, when one of the morals to his story is how easily people can be taken in by great delivery.
I remember the headlines, but I suppose I’d better at least research a bit more before I commit to praising Tyler for standing up and doing the right thing... nah, I’m gonna say “admirable, phenomenal job Tyler” and I’ll come back and edit this if I need to.

Profile in Courage
This was an excellent book by Tyler Shultz discussing his story in the Theranos saga. I had read, "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Start-Up," and seen the HBO mini-series, "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley," so I had a good background on the story. But, I really wanted to hear Tyler's viewpoint. He went into great detail about his role and what he went through. I learned a lot about how hard Theranos worked to discredit and ruin him. But, he stood up to the evil company and its founder to do what he knew was right. Few people would be able to last under the pressure that Tyler went through, especially because he couldn't talk to anyone about the active investigation. Tyler doesn't have a big ego and made sure to give credit to all who supported him and worked with him to do what was right. This was a virtual page turner and I listened to it all in one day. Great book and great job, Tyler!

Down-homey Style Works
The entire book comes across as though you and Tyler and a few friends are sitting in your living room, sipping beer and maybe having just finished a joint, when somehow the conversation works its way to, "What really happened, man?" Tyler begins talking, fiddling with his guitar occasionally, and conversationally tells the story, snickering occasionally at disturbing situations he found developing around him. It's an excellent story. It does the heart good to know there are people who recognize evil and take a stand against it,

Stunning.
How refreshing to see a young man with great looks, intellect, and personality be driven purely by conscience, with little hope of reward, and at a massive personal cost.
What an example to follow.
Only Tyler himself could lend his own voice to this presentation- his shyness tells its own story.
What a stern warning of the power of charisma cementing our cognitive biases.
Would be a recommended listen were I an educator at any level in the hard or social sciences.
Bravo Tyler!

For Money & Glory
Many people are vulnerable to those alligators who only think about their pockets and their reputations. It’s unfortunate that he went through all of these emotional distress for the truth. There are still many questionable products around the world that are being sold and failed to provide satisfaction.

Human Integrity at its best
I have never heard of Tyler Schultz, his grandfather or of Theranos. I was quite startled by what I was listening too. This made me often fact check or seek more details on the net throughout my listening experience. I love when a book/audiobook does that, it really engages you and helps you immerse into the story. When I watched the 2015 interview with Elizabeth Holmes and Mad Money, I was so impressed with how she came across as the most fictional character you can think of in a story like this, she played the part so perfectly and yet... this was real life, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. Tyler Schulz really is someone who shows human integrity at its best. Imagine someone like him as a political leader in our current times of 2020.

Wow!
This is the best audible original I’ve heard! Tyler is a great storyteller. After seeing the HBO documentary about Theranos I still wondered what the scientists were thinking when they worked there. Now I got to hear the story I wanted!!
