We read a Magic Tree House book. I'm not so sure about the series.

Sunset of the Sabertooth (Magic Tree House, #7)

Sunset of the Sabertooth by Mary Pope Osborne

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Plot and character development are really week. Although, this is the seventh book in the series, what do I expect at this point? At least one of my children enjoyed reading this book. The other one just shrugs her shoulders. Although, she's seven years old, what do I expect at this point?

At the end of the day the kids did remember enough scenes from this book that depict more or less what we know about life during the ice age. Mostly they learn that life was dangerous and cold, that people hunted, played flutes and painted cave walls.

I'm not sure what I think about this series of books. They are short enough I might give one more a try before writing them off completely. There are just plenty of better books for kids this age. Though, probably not very many about the prehistoric age.

Book Review: Tribes

Tribes by Seth Godin is a quick read on leadership. I read this book because it was listed on "Books every leader needs to read" or some such similarly named list. There are some good bits to glean out of this short book. I'll try to condense them here: Managers are not by nature leaders. Managers allocate resources to accomplish a defined outcome. Leaders change things by setting a vision and building a tribe around that vision. Tribes are everywhere big and small. Mega-tribes, sub-tribes, etc. Leadership is inherent risky. But far less risky than our minds tend to think. This is evidenced by the many failures of several highly successful leaders. (Think Elon Musk and the Tesla Truck presentation ). Find people who are doing exceptionally better than average and amplify their influence on everyone else. Leadership is about challenging the status quo. It is s...

Book Review: Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now

I recently (actually weeks or months ago now) finished reading "Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now" by Jaron Lanier. This short book covers what is quite possibly one of the biggest issues of the current era, the toxic influence of "social media" on individuals and culture at large. The book raises issues about more than purely "social media" sites like Facebook and Twitter, attacking the business model that many web services are operated on. I can't bring myself to fully agree with every point raised by Lanier. Ten chapters present ten different arguments for why you should opt out of most of interactions happening on the internet today. However, I believe they can be summarized in two key points. Social media is bad for your health. Your emotional, social, psychological and spiritual well being are degraded by the use of social media. These sites tend to reduce our ability to have empathy, increase irritabili...

Some Goals for 2021

I have had a lot of time by myself recently. I'm working away from home for a few months and my family hasn't been with me for several weeks of that. I've tried my best to use that time for some productive self reflection, contemplation, navel gazing, etc. The product of that is a list of goals for the year. I wanted to put (some of) these out there publicly for some positive social pressure. Recreation & Relationship To start off, I'd like a little more fun in my life. And I'd like to have that fun with people who I cherish. Have at least one meaningful, memorable one on one experience with each of my children. This time apart from my family has highlighted just how valuable time spent together is. We're pretty good at finding ways to have fun all together at home. We play board games, read books aloud (we read the first four Harry Potter books last year), spend time outdoors, etc. But I have not been very good at spending...
