What an incredible message. It truly was enlightening for me to see just how much we are all one people. The great sages all taught that. I loved the reminder!

Eugene England (1933–2001) — one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals in modern Mormonism — lived in the crossfire between religious tradition and reform. This first serious biography, by leading historian Terryl L. Givens, shimmers with the personal tensions felt deeply by England during the turmoil of the late 20th century.

I am inspired as when I first heard the words “an unreasoned life is not worth living”. In examining the life of Eugene England, I am encouraged to examine my own. Even in death, he seems to be teaching by example.

Feel a little tricked…. And I I liked it
Reviewed: 01-02-23
I wanted to understand more about the federal reserve and how it works. It started off talking about the federal reserve and how it works and then…. It went into many much deeper topics until there were parts i was thinking “is this even about the federal reserve?”….. but it was good to open my eyes that some of my biases and conceptions could use some critical thinking and evaluation. I’m not sure how much of this is 100% correct, but i feel it was 100% of what the author believes and those beliefs are certainly well informed. So if nothing else, it really causes me to be more aware and informed…. And that is ultimately why i picked up the book in the first place. While i am not informed enough to endorse everything in it 100%, my opinion is that it’s 100% with the read and consideration of the topics and views presented. It helped me realize….i need to keep reading books😉👍

great insights
Reviewed: 04-30-22
it was a bit redundant and the frequent reference to charts and diagrams simply illustrates the limitations of"reading" a book like this using audible. the book did a good job of trying to lay out principles and showing the reader to draw their own conclusions. helpful for me to consider some long held biases that have different angles and perspectives.

The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Reviewed: 01-15-22
it was a great message and makes me want to go find my own crew team.... but there's only so many different ways you can make a straight line race interesting. so the dozen taxes that all are about guys rowing gets a little redundant. reading the cliff note version and moral of the story would almost be as inspiring. but sometimes the monotony and endurance of the read is the point after all.....

Reviewed: 01-13-21
the inspiring part of the book is that the author is approachable, down to earth. He writes in a way that is relatable and for just a moment, a fleeting moment, I felt like he was kind of like me. and at the end of the book, it gives me hope that in some small way, I could be just like him. not for the money, but for the desire to improve and create and dig deep inside..... it's not about the shoes.
