Quite good so far.

Still gold. This latest chapter "The Economics of Discrimination" was fantastic.

"Nothing is easier than to imagine that one has taken all relevant factors into account, when in reality there may be other factors which have influence, even if no data have been collected on them or they are not quantifiable." —Sowell

Underwhelming so far. This title's predecessor was much better in my opinion. We'll see if it's redeemed in the pages that remain!

"Too often, those opposed to discrimination are also opposed to free competitive markets that make discrimination more costly.

They do not think beyond stage one."

"The diligent like to have their work speak for them, and unproductive men like to substitute talk for action.

Lazy men are good talkers. Part of the reason that the lazy man is verbally adept is that he has to be ready with excuses. They're on the tip of his tongue."

"Do not take pleasure in suffering... even when it is a work of our hands. Particularly when it is a work of our hands."

"Lies corrupt the world. Worse, that is their intent."

Chapters 7 & 8 were phenomenal. Looking forward to these final four chapters. This book is gold mine.

What a gem. Chapters 4-6 were fantastic.

"If you cannot bring peace to your household, how dare you try to rule a city?"

The 1 star reviews of this book astound me.

The Christian reader should read this one circumspectly. That said, I’m enjoying this long-anticipated read very much.

Chapter 1 was a bit lost on me this first read through, but not 2 and 3.

“It is only right to see the best in people. The highest virtue is the desire to help. But not everyone who is failing is a victim. And not everyone at the bottom wishes to rise, although many do, and many manage it.”

Enlightening!

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.

“The manner in which people and movements behave at the point of victory can be the most revealing thing about them. Do you allow arguments that worked for you to also work for others?”

The adventure continues and joyspren abound 📖

Slow and steady progress with the LDev guys at Spring Creek.

SO GOOD.

Love this book so much...

Clayton Christensen's entry was stellar.

Moving through this one slowly with a group of guys. So far, it's one of the best leadership books I've ever read.

This one has been keeping me up reading every night... like someone flipped a switch — I'm hooked on it now. So so good.

The 2 year journey through this book has commenced. A thorough work this one. Learning a lot. Looking forward to the rest.

Slow going cause I'm just the worst at reading fiction but I'm enjoying this one 10 pages at a time.

I can already tell that this book will be a lifelong companion. Incredibly wise and balanced so far...

Something interesting on every page so far.

so so so stinking good
