HW Brands

Arguably the finest living historian of the American Experience, Brands has written 30 books or so—all exceedingly well written, crisp, and engaging. Most great historians tend to specialize in a single period or topical domain. Prof Brands specializes in everything in American history, it seems. We talk about the Great American West and his latest book: Dreams of El Dorado.To live my best version, I have tapped into blinkist.com. I'm getting a burst of micro learning from over 3000 books in their non fiction library. My favorites have been Super Thinking by Gabe Weinber and Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neal Postman.
