First, these problems flow in part from failures of perception and awareness…(long explanatory paragraph). From bestselling author, CNN+ host of No Mercy, No Malice, and NYU business school professor Scott Galloway comes an urgent examination of the future of our nation – and how we got here.

No. In the film, we see her using sutures to self-stitch the wound shut. "There were sutures on board," Tami wrote in her book, "but I couldn’t bring myself to sew my head shut." Instead, she drew the long wound together and adhered several large butterfly bandages as pus and blood oozed out. Involvement in communities like Church, Guides, Rotary, and even talking to people has gone down since the 90’s.We’re social beings. Our communities give us the daily support we need to survive and thrive. Connection to others and interaction with them is also a key part of building tolerance for those who look or believe differently from us. If we drift apart, society begins to fray.

What I also liked that she was not shy to tell us how stupid she acted and how she swore. it did feel honest to me.

Kým prišla búrka je pomerne tenká kniha a navyše je napísaná príjemným, jednoduchým štýlom, takže som ju prečítala doslova za jeden deň. No nenechajte sa zmiasť, ponúka toho viac, ako by sa mohlo zdať. And while this book is primarily a look at a superpower facing existential challenges, it also offers important insights and advice on a range of topics from the necessity of openness to new ideas to the benefits of risk and the value of strong community connections. Callahan was reasonably well-prepared for this nightmare. He had ample experience at sea, and managed to escape his boat (likely sunk after collision with a whale) with vital gear. Even so, surviving required him to be resourceful and resolute in the extreme. He had to repair broken equipment, patch up his boat, learn to fish and collect rainwater, and simply carry on in the face of one hardship after another. Most people—myself included—would have been toast. Many people— maybe myself included—would have just given up. If anything, then, this book is a testament to the will to survive—the willingness to push on, despite every obstacle. I really do wish that I could internalize such determination, that I could face my own trifling difficulties as Callahan faced down the open ocean. I will have to settle for a book review, I suppose.This author brings you right along with him and you'll often wonder if you could have survived the journey...or would you have succumbed to the wrath of the sea. I'd like to think I'd have been successful, but in all honesty I'm sure I wouldn't have made it past seven days. Suva, Ashna Kumar (July 11, 2017). "Yacht Club Sets Platform For Movie Shoot".

The only navigational instrument that wasn't broken during the hurricane was a sextant, which measures the angle of the sun (or other astronomical object) above the horizon. It saved her life. Here is Galloway's thesis: The competition at the heart of capitalism is the ultimate engine of human "progress," encompassing everything from economic prosperity to social health, but it must be constrained by institutions (more on these later) which protect the middle class. Beginning in the 1980s under President Reagan, those institutions began to decline, leading to an economic stagnation that has produced a host of woes facing the United States. The solution: remove some institutional barriers to competition while restoring some institutional protections for the middle class.

The book is an easy read because after reading a few paragraphs, the chart clearly explains the relevant facts!

The number of young adults who live with their parents is at its highest rate. At the end of the Great Depression, 48% lived with parents, post covid, that number is at 52%. We’re seeing a decline not just in community organizations but, predictably, in friendships too. In 1990, 40 percent of men and 28 percent of women reported having ten or more friends. By 2021, deep into the age of social media, a staggeringly low 15 percent of men and 11 percent of women said they had that many friends.

Bottom: Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin as Oldham and Sharp in the Adrift 2018 movie. What an unbelievable ordeal! As the days turned to weeks, early optimism turned to desperation and survival, but finally, I have finished this book. Coincidentally, the author had quite an ordeal too. If you are a fan of rolling your eyes at the over-dramatization of youthful romance and post-facto self pity, this book is for you.As I look out of the raft, I see God's face in the smooth waves, His grace in the dorado's swim, feel His breath against my cheek as it sweeps down from the sky. I see that all creation is made in His image."
