PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION/DEVELOPMENT

Parable style, easy read, but challenging and inspiring. I’ve read this book three times and continue to find hidden truths that I missed the time before. Because it’s written in a story, it’s principles you vividly remember. It’s really, really good.

I had the opportunity to hear Andy several years ago and he is the real deal. Authentic to his core.

the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks

Rebecca Skloot

NON-FICTION

One of the absolute best non-fiction books I have ever read.

It’s about Henrietta Lacks and the immortal cell line, HeLa, that came were taken without her permission in 1951. This book is full of interesting science facts, without being dry or hard to understand. It tackles ethical issues of medical research. It gives you a glimpse into Henrietta’s life that you won’t soon forget.

Publisher’s Description

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.

Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.
