This is a really great interview that covers a lot of the recent insanity. She is really tough on him and he does a great job of responding well to many of the recent news stories about him and his companies.

Sam Harris’ Waking Up Podcast: The Edge of Humanity with Yuval Harari
This was one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard. They cover the history and future of humanity, and the current transition between two different kinds of cultural conflict. In the past, humans fought oppressive tyrants who exploited them. In the future, humans face the new prospect of being completely irrelevant, while the tyrants saunter… Continue reading Sam Harris’ Waking Up Podcast: The Edge of Humanity with Yuval Harari
Transgender History by Susan Stryker
I read this book as part of a LGBT studies class at Sierra College for my degree in Social Justice. It’s a great read and eponymously covers the history of an important marginalized group in America; transgender people. As always, I am happy to share the audiobook with any friends who want a copy. This… Continue reading Transgender History by Susan Stryker
Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky
This was a great book. I think it pairs naturally with Dale Carnegie’s How To Win Friends and Influence People, Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power, and his other book, The Art of Seduction. Hillary Clinton famously wrote her dissertation about the work of Saul Alinsky, inventor of community organizing. Obama famously made this his… Continue reading Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
This book came highly recommended by my mom. She said she has read it dozens of times. After her many suggestions, I decided to give it a go. It’s basically a rich white lady’s midlife crisis. She embarks on a journey in order to deal with her emotional issues after a divorce. Along the way,… Continue reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
Broken Angels by Richard K Morgan
Broken Angels is a worthy successor to Altered Carbon. The only common factor is the story’s subject; Takeshi Kovacs. We find him on a new world with new people around him at the center of an entirely new conflict. It does a good job of escalating the story in an artful way. If you liked… Continue reading Broken Angels by Richard K Morgan
Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan
I started this series by watching the first season of the TV show on Netflix. This was a really really great show which I can’t recommend highly enough. As expected, the book is a much larger and richer story. Like many books adapted to TV shows, many characters have been combined or simplified in the… Continue reading Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan
❤️ Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
This was another amazing book by Neil Gaiman! 10/10. I only wish it was longer. There are so many other Norse myths which I would have loved to have heard him retell. The audiobook in particular was great. It is read by the author and unabridged. He has the voice of an angel. I have… Continue reading ❤️ Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
❤️ American Gods by Neil Gaiman
This is one of the few books I’ve read which I can confidently say I loved completely. I never felt like the author made any mistakes throughout the story, and I am usually a very critical reader. This story is a great read for anybody who is interested in mythology or Americana, but especially for… Continue reading ❤️ American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Expanse 7 – Persepolis Rising
Persepolis rising is the seventh book in The Expanse Series. It is probably the least eventful of the series, and the most predictable. As far as Sci-Fi books go; it’s a great book. Persepolis Rising was well written and excellently orchestrated. There are a lot of really interesting situations and arguments involving the philosophy of… Continue reading Expanse 7 – Persepolis Rising
