Resumen del Editor
Best-selling author, basketball legend, and cultural commentator Kareem Abdul-Jabbar explores the heart of issues that affect Americans today.
Since retiring from professional basketball as the NBA's all-time leading scorer, six-time MVP and Hall of Fame inductee Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has become a lauded observer of culture and society, a New York Times best-selling author, and a regular contributor to The Washington Post, TIME magazine and TIME.com.
He now brings that keen insight to the fore in Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White, his most incisive and important work of nonfiction in years. He uses his unique blend of erudition, street smarts, and authentic experience in essays on the country's seemingly irreconcilable partisan divide, both racial and political; parenthood; and his own experiences as an athlete, an African American, and a Muslim. The audiobook is not just a collection of expositions; he also offers keen assessments of and solutions to problems such as racism in sports while speaking candidly about his experiences on the court and off.
Timed for publication as the nation debates whom to send to the White House, the combination of plain talk on issues, life lessons, and personal stories places Writings on the Wall squarely in the middle of the conversation, as many of Abdul-Jabbar's topics are at the top of the national agenda. Whether it is sparring with Donald Trump, within the pages of TIME magazine, or full-length features in The New York Times Magazine, writers, critics, and readers have come to agree on what The Washington Post observed: Abdul-Jabbar "has become a vital, dynamic and unorthodox cultural voice."

If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

On the playing field, natural talent isn’t enough—there’s a mental component that determines whether athletes win the race or wipe out before the finish line. But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

Historia
Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

New Equality
In a world of fake news, social media and constant name calling Abdul-Jabbar offers s refreshing and well-thought solutions to many of our current issues from healthcare to housing to education all offered in anti-racist equitable ways that would benefit everyone.. This isn't some dry tome either, but full of Pop culture references and real life contemporary examples.

Book, yes, narrator, no
I greatly admire Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a historian and public intellectual, so I found this book enlightening, inspiring and even charming. However, it fails mightily in terms of its narration. Since this book functions in part as a memoir, I would love to have heard Mr. Abdul-Jabbar read it himself. Instead, we get Ben Adduchio. He's a good narrator, and I'm sure that he has done a fine job on many other books, but he's a white guy. Normally, that would not matter in the least, but the words of a black man, talking about what it's like to face racial prejudice in America, just sound jarring and wrong in the voice of a white man. In the same way, a memoir of a white man discussing his experience with white privilege in our society would sound wrong if read by someone who was obviously from another ethnic group.

A Whole Lotta Shaking Going On
What made the experience of listening to Writings on the Wall the most enjoyable?
Shaking up old habits, preconceived perceptions, long-held prejudices, Jabbar had me looking at my own processes of decision-making. I liked the information presented with the facts to support his points. He changed my vision of the whole picture presented by opinion shapers in our society.
What other book might you compare Writings on the Wall to and why?
I haven't read another book quite like this one.
Have you listened to any of Ben Adduchio’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I have heard other performances and find that his voice and expression are very effective to deliver the ideas and opinions in this book.
If you could give Writings on the Wall a new subtitle, what would it be?
Rethinking the American Dream
Any additional comments?
As my first Audible book, this has been a great one. I enjoyed the experience as well as Jabbar's thoughts and ideas.

Intersectionality brilliantly explored!
Inspired by the fusion politics of Rev Dr William Barber, The Third Reconstruction, I was thrilled with the thorough analysis of linked oppressions and hopeful liberation by Mr. Abdul-Jabbar.

NBA Great Writes a Compelling Book
If you are tempted to give this book a pass because you wonder what an athlete can possibly have to tell you, then you are making a grave mistake. Jabbar has written a remarkably insightful and powerful case against the various inequities that plague our society. Not only does he convincingly outline the various problems that are part of our modern landscape but he also provides a list of solutions to each problem. Jabbar starts with the problem of racism but doesn't stay there. He also has chapters on ageism, sexism, religious bigotry, the problem of "amateur" athletics, and the political divisions that are so detrimental to a civil society. Jabbar and his co-author, Raymond Obstfeld, have written a book that unfortunately will not be read, listened to, or comprehended by far too many people I suspect. And that truly is a shame, because I listened to this with growing appreciation not only for Jabbar as one of the NBA's greatest players (though to be truthful, as a Celtics fan, I rooted against him) but as a truly great, wise American. Today's America is a society that seems far too mean-spirited and small-minded. I hope we can learn lessons from the men and women of all types (ethnic, religious,political, sexual) before we reduce the American dream still further.

mild rant about almost everything
Wide and shallow reflections on what has to be improved in the USA. Narration would have been far stronger, had it been performed by the author.
