Acerca de esta escucha
Dr A. Jose Jones is one of the earliest African-Americans to become a certified diver. His exploits and those of the diving clubs he has founded in a previously segregated sport have received international media attention and many prestigious awards. Pathway to Ph.D. is an instructional memoir for those interested in the "how" of humble beginnings to international fame stories. Beginning with his family roots in Washington, D.C., Dr. Jones lays out a roadmap for using the pillars of education, sport, and, through it all, family to forge a successful career.
Dr. Jones' success has been built upon relationships with many dynamic individuals. From his uncle's love of botany, to his cousin's instructions on navigating the college educational system, to the military, and later tutelage under world-famous martial arts instructor Jhoon Rhee, Dr. Jones gives a fascinating retelling of how his ready, listening ear and willingness to achieve under master mentorship have been crucial to his unique and stellar career.
A master collaborator and self-starter, Dr. Jones has forged deep ties with divers all over the globe and been a magnet for once isolated minority divers to form strong, championship coalitions and teams. Despite his obvious innate talents and intelligence, Dr. Jones provides a strong and compelling narrative on the value of helping others with the skills and advantages we have been able to achieve.
Dr. Jones' collaborations resulted in the creation of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers, whose purpose is to foster camaraderie among African American divers and to address the unique problems and concerns of the African-American community. Since the founding of NABS in 1991, the organization has seen the addition of over 3,000 members across the country and internationally.

In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous, and the most successful. He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

If you feel like success is for others, that only certain people get to have their dreams fulfilled, Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call. His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America.

In this luminous memoir, a true American icon looks back on his celebrated life and career. His body of work is arguably the most morally significant in cinematic history, and the power and influence of that work are indicative of the character of the man behind the many storied roles. Sidney Poitier here explores these elements of character and personal values to take his own measure: as a man, as a husband and a father, and as an actor.

Nobody should be going to college immediately after high school. They should be taking a two year road trip across the country to find out who they are and what they want out of life instead. But still, every year we send millions of inexperienced 18-year-olds down a path of debt, worthless degrees, poor employment prospects, commonness and misery. The results are two full generations of adults who wasted decades of their lives chasing dreams that would never come true.

Michael Oher is the young man at the center of the true story depicted in The Blind Side movie (and book) that swept up awards and accolades. Though the odds were heavily stacked against him, Michael had a burning desire deep within his soul to break out of the Memphis inner-city ghetto and into a world of opportunity. While many people are now familiar with Oher's amazing journey, this is the first time he has shared his account of his story in his own words.

The Work is the story of how one young man traced a path through the world to find his life’s purpose. Wes Moore graduated from a difficult childhood in the Bronx and Baltimore to an adult life that would find him at some of the most critical moments in our recent history: as a combat officer in Afghanistan; a White House fellow in a time of wars abroad and disasters at home; and a Wall Street banker during the financial crisis.

John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills. Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, introduced the now-famous expression of the title into the common vernacular. Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.
