Reseñas de la Crítica

"This audiobook is proof positive that some texts work best as audiobooks."

Somewhat enjoyable

I enjoyed the interview format of the book. It does seem that these interviews were tailored towards a more democratic, liberal philosophy listener. Very few, actually none, spoke about what it means to them to be an American

A post graduate experience

As a physician , I acknowledge my ignorance in most of the interviews just experienced . We go through undergraduate education concentrating on basic sciences & medical & postgraduate education without knowing about so much of the world. David Rubinstein through his 3 books has given me an education into this world which I’m eternally grateful

great listen

great listen to so many wonderful perspectives. great american stories. so much that we can accomplish

Great History Lesson

History was one of my least favorite subjects in high school because even at the age of 15-16, I knew I wasn't reading the whole truth. The layers of diversity, difference and inclusion enlightened my understanding and spoke truth to power.

very educational and enjoyable

such interesting interviews. learned something unexpected from each one. made my daily walk fly by.
