  • This I Believe

    "interesting and enjoyable"

    11 of 12 helpful votes

    I enjoyed the way this book was set up. The essays were each read by the author themselves.(whenever it was possible) It contains a broad variety of beliefs, from serious to humerous. This book exposes you to many different opinions and leaves you considering what belief you feel most strongly about.

The pieces that make up the program will compel listeners to rethink not only what and how they have arrived at their own personal beliefs, but also the extent to which they share them with others.

We'll hear about Guns 'n Roses, which has been working on an infamous comeback record for longer than most bands exist. The playwright Austin Pendleton tells Kurt about the amazing rise and pathetic decline of Orson Welles. And we phone our listeners to hear about the bands, writers, and directors who let them down big time.

    The civil rights struggle made great strides in many sectors of American society, but the movement did little to help Southern black farmers. The number of African-American farmers dropped by 93% between 1940 and 1974, predominately because they were forced from their land by discrimination, lack of information, and intimidation by the Department of Agriculture. Pete Daniel writes about this little-known chapter of American history in Dispossession: Discrimination Against African American Farmers in the Age of Civil Rights.

    Disruption is around every corner by way of globally connected economies, inevitable superstorms, and technology’s endless reinvention. But most of us were born into a culture which aspired to solve all problems. How do we support people and create systems that know how to recover, persist, and even thrive in the face of change? Andrew Zolli introduces "resilience thinking," a new generation’s wisdom for a world of constant change.

    Erica Grieder, who covered Texas for 7 years as a correspondent for The Economist and now is at Texas Monthly, argues that the rest of the country needs to pay attention to Texas. She makes her argument in a new book titled Big, Hot, Cheap and Right. Then, Paul Theroux has made a career of going on the road. He travels light, and frequently, and he’s written scores of books about the places he’s visited. His latest is about a continent that first received him as a 22-year-old Peace Corps volunteer: Africa. The Last Train to Zona Verde details the people and places Theroux encountered from South Africa to Angola.

    "Everyone is on the Internet but they're not all talking with each other. There are groups upon groups out there, but they don't talk to one another. So while the Internet brings everyone into a share space, it does not necessarily bring them together." -- David Lynch
