The Other Wes Moore
One Name, Two Fates
Wes Moore - 2010-04-27
Calificación de Goodreads
Explore the powerful and thought-provoking tale of two boys named Wes Moore who grew up in similar Baltimore neighborhoods without fathers. One ended up as a Rhodes Scholar, business leader, and decorated veteran, while the other was sentenced to life in prison for murder. In The Other Wes Moore, the author delves into the question of what sets these two paths apart in alternating narratives of heartbreaking loss and surprising redemption that speak to a generation of boys searching for their place in a difficult world.

William Kamkwamba - 2009-09-29
Calificación de Goodreads
This inspiring true story takes place in Malawi, a country with drought, hunger, and superstitions. William Kamkwamba, a young boy, refused to accept his grim reality and instead dreamed of bringing electricity and running water to his village. Despite being called crazy by his neighbors, William harnessed his ingenuity and unwavering determination to build a windmill with the help of science textbooks and scrap materials. This book is a testament to the power of one individual's ability to improve their community and change lives for the better.

No me puedes lastimar
Domina tu mente y desafía las probabilidades
David Goggins - 2018-12-04
Calificación de Goodreads
PARA DAVID GOGGINS, LA INFANCIA FUE UNA PESADILLA. La pobreza, los prejuicios y los malos tratos físicos colorearon sus días y atormentaron sus noches. Pero gracias a su autodisciplina, su fortaleza mental y trabajo duro, Goggins pasó de ser un joven con sobrepeso, deprimido y sin futuro, a convertirse en un icono de las Fuerzas Armadas estadounidenses y en uno de los mejores atletas de resistencia del mundo. Es el único hombre de la historia que ha completado un entrenamiento de élite como SEAL de la Marina, Ranger del Ejército y Controlador Aéreo Táctico de las Fuerzas Aéreas, y llegó a batir récords en numerosas pruebas de resistencia, lo que inspiró a la revista Outside a nombrarlo “El Hombre (Real) en Mejor Forma de Estados Unidos”. En No Me Puedes Lastimar, comparte la asombrosa historia de su vida y revela que la mayoría de nosotros aprovechamos sólo el 40% de nuestras capacidades. Goggins llama a esto La Regla del 40%, y su historia ilumina un camino que cualquiera puede seguir para superar el dolor, vencer al miedo y alcanzar su máximo potencial.

Such a great book. I recall first learning about the "hot hand fallacy" in a cog sci class in college. Something about it just didn't feel right - if you've played any basketball, you've seen the hot hand and even experienced it yourself. This is a riveting story      fuente

Matadero Cinco book cover
Matadero Cinco
A Novel (Modern Library 100 Best Novels)
Kurt Vonnegut - 1999-01-12 (publicado por primera vez en 1969)
Calificación de Goodreads
Matadero Cinco o La cruzada de los niños catapultó a Kurt Vonnegut como uno de los grandes ídolos de la juventud norteamericana y se convirtió de inmediato en un clásico de la literatura contemporánea. Una historia amarga, conmovedora y a la vez divertidísima, de la inocencia confrontada con el apocalipsis, «una novela con ribetes esquizofrénico-telegráficos», en palabras de su autor. Kurt Vonnegut fue hecho prisionero en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se encontraba en Dresde cuando esta ciudad fue bombardeada y arrasada por la aviación norteamericana; este hecho le marcó profundamente y decidió escribir un libro en torno a ese tema: "Matadero Cinco". La historia de un superviviente de la matanza que, muchos años más tarde, es raptado y transportado al planeta Trafalmadore es una de las muchas tramas que se entrecruzan en una obra profundamente innovadora, en la que resplandecen cegadoras metáforas de la nueva era y en la que los pasajes de ciencia-ficción funcionan a la manera de los payasos de Shakespeare. El humor, a menudo muy negro, es esencial en la obra de Vonnegut, quien ha afirmado que «lo cómico es parte tan integral en mi vida que empiezo a trabajar en una historia sobre cualquier tema y, si no encuentro elementos cómicos, la dejo».

Rabia somos todas book cover
Rabia somos todas
el poder del enojo femenino para cambiar el mundo
Soraya Chemaly - 2018-09-11
Calificación de Goodreads
Desde niñas aprendemos que debemos contener la ira y no dejarla salir, aunque lastre nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente de maneras insospechadas. Y sin embargo, tenemos una multitud de razones legítimas para sentirnos enojadas: desde los actos de misoginia más crudos y violentos, hasta el sutil goteo del sexismo cotidiano que fortalece las normas de género más insidiosas de nuestras sociedades. En Rabia somos todas, Soraya Chemaly sostiene que nuestro enojo no sólo está justificado, sino que es parte fundamental de la solución: cuando somos conscientes de él, se convierte en un instrumento vital, un radar para señalar la injusticia y un catalizador para el cambio. Construido con las mejores herramientas del periodismo de investigación, el testimonio personal y el manifiesto feminista, Rabia somos todas es un libro indispensable que da voz a las causas, expresiones y posibilidades de la ira femenina.

Second book I've read on the subject this year and @schemaly goes in on the patriarchy and it's hard to argue with a lot of the data here. Rage really is a double-standard between men and women. As men, we need to lean into this painful truth in order to grow.      fuente
