À propos de cet audio
From the hero whistleblower of the infamous Theranos scam, Thicker than Water is a look at never-before-revealed details behind closed doors at the company, revealing a cautionary tale of corporate bullying, gaslighting, ego, and wealth running amok in Silicon Valley.
Tyler Shultz had been in the workforce for less than a year when he emailed Elizabeth Holmes, his employer and the CEO and founder of Theranos, with concerns that the company’s lab practices were faulty, ignored quality control, and were potentially dangerous to patients. The COO fired back with a dismissive and insulting email, to which Tyler replied: “Consider this my two weeks’ notice.”
From there, his life spun out of control at the hand of Elizabeth, her team of high-powered lawyers, and the patriarch of Tyler’s own family George Shultz - one of America’s most prominent statesmen - who sat among the top of the Theranos board of directors. And yet, Tyler forged on. To protect his own conscience, the honor and reputation of his grandfather, and the health of patients worldwide.
Thicker than Water is Tyler’s as-told-to story - a harrowing and heartbreaking roller coaster of biomedical drama, family intrigue, and redemption - that will ultimately make you feel as though you are at a dinner party, seated next to a brilliant friend with one hell of a story.

Audiobooks come in all shapes and sizes, and the listening format is perfect for embracing epic books that may have been too daunting in written form. Still, people often search for something a little more concise, a title that won’t take up an entire day’s worth of time. This collection of great audiobooks all clock in at five hours or less. They cover plenty of ground, from laugh-out-loud hilarity to edge-of-your-seat terror, via short story collections, love stories, audio versions of great books, best sellers, and national award winners. Sometimes real life doesn’t lend itself to 34-hour epics, after all.
Tyler did a really good job expanding on his side of the situation starting from when he first met Elizabeth to the time when her company was charged with fraud.
I cannot imagine the turmoil he went through. Some of his story was hard to listen to but so compelling all the same.
I'm so Obsessed with Theranos

It is easy-listen like a podcast, but also very impactful hearing the emotions in his voice as he recounted the hardships. He cracks a joke every now and then that made me laugh. What an incredibly humble, articulate and intelligent young man with impeccable integrity, who not only navigated legal and social challenges but also knew how to stand up for himself for the sake of his mental health and self-worth. Truly inspiring.
This audiobook is worth every penny.

I broke my own rule of keeping audiobooks to driving time, but found myself listening to it as I did house chores & prepared dinner. I always admired Kyle & his dedication to stand up for the truth, his courage to protect his loved ones & his commitment to sound scientific thinking. Recommended to anyone who likes a good ending with the good guy finally vindicated & the bad guy exposed. Most of us dream this scenario as a fantasy & it is so nice to see it in real life.
informative, entertaining & almost addictive
