Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology by Leah Remini
informative
4.0
This book was very informative about scientology and all of the demands it puts on its members.
I'm very glad that the author read it so I could hear her emotion, and accent.
It isn't easy to leave something that was so much a part of your life. Bravo for having the guts to write this book. Hopefully it gives someone the strength the need with whatever challenges they're facing

I'm much older than the target audience, but this book didn't really grab me at all.
The plot was decent, but the ending was pretty predictable - although I enjoyed reading how it all came together.

Passion and Purpose: The Power of Conscious Capitalism by John E. Mackey

This isn't really a book, it's just a presentation he gave with q and a after. More like a podcast
Anyway, I really liked what he had to say, but it rings pretty hollow knowing he sold whole foods out to Amazon

The One by John Marrs

5/10
this one is ripe for 2.75 stars, but Goodreads doesn't allow that. Thankfully I'm not on Goodreads now.
it was an interesting premise and I liked a lot of the exploring how life would change if we could truly know our soulmate through DNA sequencing.
the first 3/4 was all pretty good and compelling storytelling, but if the 5 or 6 storylines, I very much didn't like all but one and a half of the endings. I probably would have given this 4 stars if the endings were better, but it ended up leaving a sour taste. it was good though that I'm going to continue with the series - hopefully the others don't let me down.
