Great outline on applying stoicism
Revisado: 08-26-21
The course was good. It was great at giving practical methods to implement Stoic Virtue and practices in your life.
I did think though, his biases were very evident especially in his explanation of the theory and it’s relationship to God(s) and religion and his stating that while Christianity was heavily influenced by Stoicism but they are not compatible even though history says otherwise. I just thought it distracted from the book whether you follow a religion or not.
His take on economics is very apparent and it detracts from the content. He would use economic examples but it was apprenticed he has total lack of understanding of economic knowledge and this lack of economic understanding is cringe worthy at times and took away from the lesson.
He uses great examples of how people apply stoicism but then discounts others who apply it because they may be sports coaches, athletes, and billionaires. I may agree with him in some instances but it made me question why the good examples were any different than the bad ones.
Over all this is a great course to understand the fundamentals of Stoicism and how to apply it to your life. I will continue to read/listen to other works by the author.

Historia
From the time we learn to speak, we're told that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. When you become a manager, it’s your job to say it--and your obligation. Author Kim Scott was an executive at Google and then at Apple, where she developed a class on how to be a good boss. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, Radical Candor. Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly.

Good framework weak implementation
Revisado: 04-24-19
The book started out with much promise and valid points. The examples of “how tos” were sophomoric in my opinion. The author does have a great framework but the half baked is implementation needs more thought.

Difficult to listen to
Revisado: 08-28-18
It is impossible to follow the reader making it difficult to understand. I had to go get another version with a different narrator to listen to it.

not one of his better books
Revisado: 11-19-16
narrator was great. the story was forced. I really like the authors writing and many of the other books in the series but this one was weak with a plot that seemed forced and hard to follow.

Given the rank of subcommander by his wife's brother, Lord Bhayar, the ruler of Telaryn, Quaeryt joins an invading army into the hostile land of Bovaria, in retaliation for Bovaria's attempted annexation of Telaryn. But Quaeryt has his own agenda in doing Bhayar's bidding: to legitimize Imagers in the hearts and minds of all men, by demonstrating their value as heroes as he leads his battalion into one costly battle after another.

not the best book in the series but good
Revisado: 06-02-16
had the feeling of a middle book but it gives one the story of how or why things were the way things were with the protagonists in earlier books and books to follow.

Good Series
Revisado: 05-26-16
While it is a great book and a fresh take on the created world as the author is known to do, I do not find it as good as the first three books. that said it is still enjoyable and seeing the ties to the first three books only enhances the story.

great second book
Revisado: 05-21-16
This was a great middle book in a series. it advanced the story, built the plot and showed progress to the story. it wasn't the normal second book that leaves one feeling that it was written to just to set up the end of the story.
