This "story" reminded me of the series Inventing Anna, Elizabeth and Anna's personalities are very similar! Except for the deceiving impact Elizabeth could've left! But the thing is, she's admirable, she played them, and sold dreams and they bought them!
This book is a story written by the investigative journalist who unravel the truth of Theranos, breakthrough health technology, the company's founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood tests significantly faster and easier.
They portrayed her as psychopath/ a sociopath, but she gives the vibes of more like a megalomania (even though I'm not the one who can analyze her!!) who has a vision of herself to be the next Steve Jobs, she has a dream, and she did everything to reach it! It's kind of impressive to witness what a person could do! And the same applies for everyone believed her and believed in her! Obviously for a share of the treasure!...more

Who shared her experience with bipolar disorder and being a wife, a mom and a caregiver to her parents.
At first the book felt like disjointed diary entries, which was confusing. But through the pages, it becomes really interesting! One thing really annoyed me is the repetition of some of the details, which could be due to the entries being blog posts!
Getting to know more about bipolar from the author's personal experiences and challenges is a great reading material, and add to that the good smooth language the book was written in, is icing on the cake.

I think it is an important one mainly directed for teachers and educaters to how to embrace making mistakes and come out with the most beneficial outcome. Not necessary for just teachers but parents could benefit from the ideas.

Riding the Edge: A Love Song to Deborah And it is that, the amount and the kind of love Michael put in this book to Deborah is so beautiful.
Michael is Riding the Edge: A Love Song to Deborah And it is that, the amount and the kind of love Michael put in this book to Deborah is so beautiful.
Michael is an American Jew, and Deborah is an American Lebanese Christian. Both psychologists met in the mid 70s. Michael fell head over heels for her but she was still healing from a broken heart, that kept chasing her. Six years into their relationship they decided to take a trip through Europe to the middle east riding their bikes. The adventures they had along with the deep conversations -which mostly felt pretentious- and the poetic descriptions including the food, were really good to have an ear to. (even though the narrator's impression of the different people were sometimes annoying). The stories of the people they encounter revolved around the holocaust's survivors, witnesses or their second generation.
Deborah wanted to visit her origins in Lebanon in a time where the country were living its worst times in 1980. A sad heartbreaking period. And because of that Michael felt the need to visit Israel. He mentioned that he had the same feeling Deborah had to connect with her roots (your roots are from German for god's sake or is it from a land that was occupied by force!!) Michael who hated his Jewish identity, who didn't believe in Judaism, is feeling connected to the occupied Palestinian land!! Yep that conclude it all.
"The imperfect side of what I hope the good guys. Whatever the true story is, we're here and they're not. You can't change history, you live in your time and build for your future. The Arabs live in the past and dream of a future that will never be." This is what an Israeli Iraqi Jew said to Michael Tobin, and it is what he and they believe. You stole the land of people, chase them out and you have all the right.
In this book.. >> Palestinians who defend their land are terrorists. >> There is something called "Israel's war of independence" ... WTF!!! Independence from what?!! >> Michael Tobin is a hypocrite.. "I'm numb, frozen in rage, demanding vengeance. I imagine in my mind how I would torture the obese trooper in the photo to the right of the ashes. He holds a Luger in his right hand and stands over a dead Jew lying at his feet. His face radiates satisfaction and pride as if he feels worthy for a medal for heroism. I wanna saw off his penis with a serrated knife and stuff it in his mouth and while he still has life in him I'd cut into his abandon flesh and gut him organ by organ. I wanna hear him beg for mercy and scream in agony. Let him know this is the price for sadistic pleasure." >> The fact that when one of Deborah's relative in Lebanon told them that she hated the Palestinians but hated Israel more because they were the reason the Palestinians were refugees and came to Lebanon in the first place. Michael didn't like that. He who was an American Jew that his grandfather immigrated from Germany felt that the occupied Palestinian lands are his to claim!!
