No Idea Why People Like This

Revisado: 02-20-20

I could only listen to one hour before giving it up. Why do people think this is intelligent? The author is just drawing his own conclusions about humanity based on quite general scientific data. I recommend writing your own book rather than blindly absorbing these opinions.

Seeking Confidence from High Achievers

Revisado: 11-08-19

There was some interesting research, and I did enjoy parts of the book. However, now that I am almost finished, I feel quite frustrated. The authors went from one super high-achiever to another, looking for each woman's secret. Why not have a more diverse field of women to find confidence from? I believe it's unintentional, but that there is a subliminal message in this book that equates confidence strongly with salary and position. They did start with the question of why more women are not "at the top." Unfortunately, that remained the heart of the book, and it did not evolve into a true exploration of how all women, with varying degrees of social ambition, can be more confident. A few quick references to the PTA didn't balance it out for me.

Disappointed

Revisado: 12-03-18

For someone who has never tried meditation or any self-analysis, perhaps this book is a beginning. For me, it was incredibly simplistic, and for the first two hours, the examples of problems were related to boyfriend/girlfriend issues. Since that is only one kind of problem and is significantly different from deeper-level issues, such as serious illness, it seems like there is not much being offered here. In addition, the reader's voice was ironic which doesn't seem appropriate for this topic unless the author's main point was to tell us all how ridiculous we are. Perhaps it was.

Great Short Stories could be Greater

Revisado: 11-26-11

These stories are interesting, but it is hard to believe that stories with more interest could not have been found. The readers are also rather dull--mostly flat voices. I like having multiple readers, but in this case, it was deceptive. The readers are different, but their nondramatic method is basically the same.
