Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-31 00:00:00 Dawn Brown The intent of the book and some of the anecdotes were very interesting and informative. I appreciated it's intent in terms of moving our healthcare system forward helping to open the eyes of providers and make healthcare more culturally competent. However, the writing was really repetitive and after reading multiple parts of the book, I could predict the "lessons learned" at the end of each piece after a couple pages. If you are especially interested in the Hmong culture, the beginning of the book is quite informative. The rest of the story is more case-study based.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-02-10 00:00:00 Takeshi Morozumi Now I have a better grasp on what and why might be interesting. Since that was my whole goal for reading this book, I'd say it fulfilled it's purpose quite nicely. In this book Silvia looks more closely at the idea of interest as an emotion that might arise in case of enjoyable and complex situations with a potential to gain information that can be understood. In other parts the author brings forth theories about what makes some texts more interesting and what are vocational interests, how they can be measured and what do we know or think about how it happens that people have long lasting interests that translate well to a specific type of job or hobby.
