Welcome to Litsy!

Taking a moment to brag & would love to hear what you‘re proud of—Two weeks ago I spoke about sustainability in maritime at 3 separate events. I was particularly proud of the Tulane Future of Energy Forum panel as the only woman & with three men who are CEOs. They took great photos, an event YouTube page with the 28 sessions & our panel made the cover!

An informative history of global revolutions and the way they have shaped our world is brilliantly covered by Zakaria, who says we are currently living through the third geopolitical revolution in modern history. Despite all the reasons to worry, Zakaria gives us reasons for hope. I found this book to be objective, well written, thoughtful and thorough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don‘t think I have EVER bailed on an audio, but I really cannot take 10+ more hours of this outdated, misogynistic “future” talk. I wanted to enjoy this, as it was recommended by a local environmental communications professor I highly respect, but this 1970‘s book rants on and on about how the future is speeding up and what MEN will be like in societies of the future. I think I gained everything important from the intro and Part 1.

Much more academic than i was expecting but interesting.

This aims to examine all aspects of modern life, namely “WEIRD” existence (western culture), compare it to humans who came before, and guide us how we should be living, covering diet, parenting, rituals, schooling, and so much more. Fascinating at times. The audio production is subpar 😬 and the authors came off as arrogant to me in several sections describing how wonderful THEY are in their parenting choices etc. However, still a great read!

1. I can‘t say whether it‘s the longest or not, but this has been on our shelves for at least 37 years.
2. I can‘t decide whether it will still be relevant, and it wound a time sink!
3. Don Quixote, The Fruit of the Tree, Coriolanus, The Secrets of the Fire King

15/150 An interesting discussion on how technological advances and changing social norms have affected the evolution of mankind. While this book is full of fascinating information, plus tips and suggestions to avoid the biggest pitfalls of current societal changes, I recommend getting it in print form. The authors are fine writers and scientist, but as narrators, they leave much to be desired. Their delivery is a bit monotone. 3 🐒🐒🐒 1/2
