The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got… door Amanda Ripley

“Education is a gift that once attained cannot be forsaken. It must be nurtured and fostered like a flower ready to bloom. Tests do not prove intelligent capabilities. Aptitude and grit do as well as perservereance, independence, a strong will, and loving support of your chosen family and friends.”

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes… door Amanda Ripley

Very interesting book looking at who survives disasters/extreme situations and why they survive. Not a dry read at all, bits of humour and a very human viewpoint. Oh, and I really hope I have a decent sized hippocampus. It seems like it might be important.

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes… door Amanda Ripley

Fantastic writer. I like all of Amanda's works. This book influenced me while I was writing my own book. If you have an interest in how people respond during disasters, and what drives their behaviors and motivation, this book is worth a read.

The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got…

More evidence of how America's schools are dooming the future generations. Surprising that Finland is a top country for education and they transformed themselves in ~10 years.
