Best Explanation Ever

I've been reading Michael Lewis' Big Short this week.  It is a clear, easy read.  And now especially 4/25/10, with all of the headline news about the big banks, especially Goldman Sachs.

I'm reading this book to make sense of it all.  I didn't lose any money, since I put all of my money into C.D.s with little interest, but no losses.

I especially loved the story about Michael Burry.  Fascinating stuff, what concrete focus can produce.

I also purchased from Amazon another book by Michael Lewis "Liar's Poker".

I recently saw Michael Lewis as part of a panel on t.v.  and he was very clear and great at opening the scenes and actions wide open.

There was another program on Bill Moyers were several economists made perfect sense to me as they talked about hard to understand derivatives, and that's because Michael Lewis' explanation was so clear.

Now let's have a bio on Michael Burry.

This is by far the best book Ive ever read on American economic history. The clarity of her written thought and explanation of our evolved complex financial structure is perfectly explained by Professor Murphy. I've never seen her on CNBC nor any writings in the WSJ. Slicing through all this modern era "Fed Speak" and data driven side shows helps a small investor understand how we got here; and where we are going. This author / Professor helps one create a so called world view - financial view of our current financial debt situation and formulate one's own investment strategy.
I sleep better at night having read this book now at least twice.

I really liked the book because the proof comes before the theory. Fuzzy has generated billions so how can one give the book anything but 5 stars?

The author is extremely qualified to answer questions pertaining to philosophy (he has multiple degrees and is a Professor).

Buy this book and read it three times and really get it. It nails "reality" perhaps better than 99% of other books out there.

The most lucid and clear reason for why and how we are here I have ever read

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

These 2 sentences were quotes from Albert Einstein...Big Al obviously understands this and that's what this book teaches.

I've read many books on network marketing. This one is without question the best. It's pure genius.

I devoured this book in a couple of days. It is probably one of the most clear explanations for the general, non-academic public, of how and why our brain works to delude us. He explores WHY we don't want to wear clothing or receive a heart transplant from evil people (I, personally, wouldn't care) and how our mind develops as children to interpret the world in a metaphysical way. I think this is an excellent thing to understand and everyone should read it. The only thing I disagreed with, was at the end of the book he says these feelings are important since we are "sacred" animals and these beliefs develop social cohesion. I don't think we need these things to do that, and I think we can develop secular forms of social cohesion that don't rely on supernatural concepts. All in all, I recommend this book highly to anyone wanting to know why our brains do the weird things they do. It will help you understand why you may be religious, or give you compassion for the religious/spiritual people around you.

The explanation is written out better than the college course that I took. It is very in depth and allows me to comprehend this information with ease.

This dynamite little book gives the clearest, most thorough, and most succinct explanation of relativism I have ever read. Chris Stefanick covers all the bases, and does so in a way that captivates the reader and keeps his/her interest in a way that makes it difficult to put the book down. I believe this book is extremely important for our time and that it will be a great help in understanding and doing something about one of the biggest problems in our culture today. I highly recommend it to all.

This book is one that I completely understand, finally.  Thank you Eckhart Tolle for explaining things in a way that makes sense to me!  I will definitely re-read this book over and over.

As a non medical person I have been very interested for years in learning about how and why the food we eat or don't eat effects the way our human body either becomes healthy or deteriorates. This book is by far one of the best I have found that gives explanations of both happenings that for a non medical person is understandable. I highly recommend this book if you are really interested in the way your body has either become badly damaged over the years or has remained healthy and disease free. It is obvious that the author Dr Robert Buckingham writes from experiencing what he writes about. Thank you Dr. Buckingham.

Indeed this is the best book I've ever read.  The ideas discussed in this book have never been better described or explained by any other author I have read.  I keep this book with me very often and I am constantly going through it highlighting and writing in my own thoughts.  It is written in a way that it does not bring a bias until all sides are presented well and in detail.  If you are a philosophy buff like me and you haven't read this you either can't find it or can't read. buy it buy it buy it.

I bought this book originally to explain the impending death of his grandfather. Since then, I've read it at funerals and to many other people. People always ask me after my public readings of it where to buy the book. This is the best book by far, to explain death to any age. It applies to both the spiritual and the non-spiritual. I wish I could give it 10 stars. It is also beautifully illustrated.

This is the most sane explanation of quantum physics that I have ever seen. The Schrodinger's Cat problem is dismissed. Not easily mind you. You ARE going to have to go to school. But although this book is a bit long in the tooth for a physics book, it will rival Einstein's explanation of relativity. Hell, Einstein could have taken lessons from this book. It is a very clear explanation of how you get reality out of this damn difficult description of the world.
