This phrase moved me!
"The mortal truth is that everything and everybody ends in dust. So why do we give such power to things, status, names, identity, honor, victories, lineage, and desire? None of it lasts. So, why do we believe it's real?"(page 72).
How strong an impact it is on me. I learn from this phrase that I can't bring anything when I die, so why so hard on everything? Just be balance. Never forget to be happy and alive. Give and share. Love and be kind. I love to give it a perfect score.

I came across this book because my husband is golf buddies with the author. I’m always in awe of meeting someone in person who has written a book from start to finish as I know, personally, it is no easy task. Therefore, I was interested in checking out Crowley’s book.
I know John Crowley as an attorney so I had assumed this book would be about historical law and, as a result, be a bit over my head. I was pleasantly surprised that the book wasn’t related to the author’s day job but about what we can learn from world history’s events to create a better future. I wholeheartedly agree with every concept Crowley puts forth in this book and thought it was a good addition to the “red pill” section of my TBR. I remember watching an interview where the prime minister of Israel was imploring people to learn about world history so that we aren’t ignorant or susceptible to falling for the traps we’ve seen in the past. History doesn’t repeat it rhymes. That is essentially what Crowley wants his readers to understand. While I had a general understanding of how world history has shaped America, Crowley pinpoints the actual events and people along a timeline to illustrate those details for the readers.
I think books like this are very important because we, as a society, are incredibly ignorant of world and national history. There are entities (Wizards of Oz as Crowley calls them) who rely on that ignorance to push their agendas or keep you in the cave. However, I think Crowley could have expanded this book and either gone into more detail of certain history already noted or added areas of exploration to bolster his point. It might be obvious for me to say that a lot of young people don’t understand who Mao is or the history of Cuba, but our education is so poor some people don’t even know the full details of WWII. We need a book like this to explain to people why certain policies or ways of life are dangerous by pointing to how it has failed (miserably in most cases) in the past, but we need to flesh out all the details. Americans don’t understand that they live in the greatest country in the world because they are ignorant of how people live and have lived in other parts of the world. Without that context, all the dirty details, we can’t begin to convince them otherwise.
