It’s not an in depth dive. I was hoping to learn more, but was a bit underwhelmed 

Just not for me 

Picked this up to get a better grasp on what’s going on with the wild fires in CA. This book was intense and informative

Blackbeard is often looked at as a fearsome marauder, but this book really dove into what made him a complex and multifaceted figure.

Anyone who is into history and adventure will love this book!

A masterpiece of reflection and resilience, Banning Lyon does a great job balancing vulnerability with empowerment throughout this book. 

 

His personal anecdotes offer an in-depth look at the struggles and challenges he faced growing up—and continues to face to this day. The honesty and depth of his storytelling draw you in, making his journey feel both personal and universal. 

 

This is more than just a book; it’s an experience. I usually avoid recommending books because everyone’s tastes differ, but I’ll gladly make an exception for this one

This helped me understand how the super wealthy “protect” their wealth. A lot of eye-opening details were shared that kept me engaged through out. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there was some political bias towards the end (even though I agree with it) 

I feel like I would have enjoyed this more if I listened to it rather than reading it 

This book offers a fascinating look into one of the most brilliant and influential figures in modern finance. If you’re looking for actionable investing wisdom, this book is not for you. It was filled personal anecdotes and historical context that kept me engaged!
