About this listen

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.

Tyler has to know more about holmes. This was well recited and read but its a bit lacking. felt he still is pulling the family line and protecting papi rather than telling warts n all version.

Well recited.. but..

Absolutely love it. I knew a lot about the scandal but not as much about the heroic efforts of Tyler to bring the truth to light. It was a bit so nice to have the story told by himself that it make me want to be his friend. highly recommended.

Amazing story

This is my first review for audible. Am so impressed with how Tyler told his stories that I couldn't not write one,

It's very interesting listening to it and delivered in a great way.

Totally recommended for purchase.

Great Read from Tyler

I thought I knew all that was worth knowing about Tyler Shultz's role in the Theranos saga - I was wrong. This perspective from Tyler's own mouth offers a personal account of how it feels to be terrorized by a multi-billion dollar business and America's most intimidating law firm. In addition to the medical scam which Holmes et al perpetrated, thier treatment of Shultz and others who were targeted for their principled refusal to go along with the con is an additional outrage which is brilliantly exposed in this short audiobook.

Insightful and compelling.
