Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

A few good points that could be made in an article vs. a book. Not the worst advice just get to the point. Find a summary and buy/read/listen to that instead

Historia
In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and - despite her prosthetic leg - helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.

Historia
In an age riven by "fake news," "alternative facts," and disputes over the validity of everything from climate change to the size of inauguration crowds, the authors argue that social factors, not individual psychology, are what's essential to understanding the persistence of false belief and that we must know how those social forces work in order to fight misinformation effectively.

Excellent book, important topic, wished there was another chapter’s worth on political misinformation
Revisado: 06-16-24
Good way about approaching the topic - primarily through most of the book focuses on scientific misinformation up until about the last chapter or so. This helps introduce less politically charged cases of misinformation and teach some principles, reasons, methods in misinformation, before pointing readers toward applying these tools toward and pointing to some more politically based misinformation. Even with these, author chooses pizzagate as one of the cases of political misinformation to focus on, perhaps because most people recognize this as gals information acted upon and dangerous consequences of believing political misinformation. Still, it left me a little disappointed that political misinformation didn’t receive more attention.

In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted Pluto out of planethood. Far from the sun, tiny, and eccentric in orbit, it's a wonder Pluto has any fans. Yet during the mounting debate over Pluto's status, Americans rallied behind the extraterrestrial underdog.

Historia
Different people with different personalities express love in different ways. In fact, there are five very specific languages of love: Words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch. Dr. Gary Chapman’s original best seller was first crafted with married couples in mind, but the love languages have proven themselves to be universal. The message of this audiobook is now tailored to meet the unique and real desires of single adults.

Obviously useful info, but…
Revisado: 02-22-24
Like: obviously useful and even important information to consider - love languages
Would’ve been a 4, but…
Dislike: some truly awful relationship advice every so often in the stories told though. At one point basically advises a woman to string along a guy who is interested in her romantically and she is not, so she can continue to get her love language of service bucket filled by this guy until she finds someone she is romantically interested in.

A classic with a poor ending and worse female characters
Revisado: 08-07-23
Yes it’s a classic. The ending however is disjointed from the rest of the book. It’s as if Tolstoy set it aside for months then one day decided, “I need to wrap it up,” and without re-reading the rest quickly wrote an ending.
Also, female characters are very poorly conceived/written - this is from a man’s vantage, so I can only imagine what women readers think.
