Historia
Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites.

I nice companion to his other work
Revisado: 02-09-25
Peterson has some real insights into the Bible in which Christians would wholeheartedly agree. His respect for the complexity, artistry, and in truth of the Bible really does credit to God‘s work himself. There are parts where I feel like Jesus is really just reduced to some kind of a symbol or a myth where he was a living breathing man who did the things he said he was going to do. But Peterson does not speak from a Christian perspective so it’s understandable. I do feel like God is using him even if Christian listeners do you need to be aware of his perspective.

I have come to appreciate economic thinking so much these past few years. It just takes the drama out of drama fueled times.

A painful journey
Revisado: 09-22-24
Even if you are a progressively minded reader who supports climate change legislation, you will find the ham fisted political grandstanding painful.
While I think there was an effort to make the characters multidimensional, they all flash with an arrogance the author can’t overwrite. The author can’t seem to go two pages without making sure we all know he’s on the ‘right’ side of history.
It was too much scolding for me even though I agree on the big stuff.

Historia
In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s.

Surprising new insights
Revisado: 04-23-24
I have seen Johnathan height speak many times, so I was surprised to learn so much still from this book. As the mother of a tween, this is a very pressing issue for me. I hope other parents will get on board as I see already so many of my son’s 11-year-old friends getting smart phones.
I scored the performance lower really for just one reason. The voice actor was fine and had a good voice and pace. I don’t know why it bothered me that they never corrected his pronunciation of “Bable“ since it’s the name of the authors organization I thought that would be something they should address.

Historia
In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

I think every generation of parents is doomed overcorrect for the generation before. This book is thought-provoking and can breed new confidence in parents to raise their kids and not be afraid to share values.

Historia
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

Historia
In 2020, the novel coronavirus pandemic made it painfully clear that the U.S. could not adequately protect its citizens. Millions of Americans suffered—and over a million died—in less than two years, while government officials blundered; prize-winning economists overlooked devastating trade-offs; and elites escaped to isolated retreats, unaffected by and even profiting from the pandemic.

Balanced and insightful
Revisado: 01-29-24
Listening to it I found things that made me bristle right next to things that made me fist bump in the air. On these issues if it pisses everybody off a little bit, it’s probably pretty accurate. It focuses, mainly on large financial sectors, including our general stock market And the way the modern American Hospital system functions.

Enjoyed this audio book. Stan Lees knack for creating the flaw. Superhero is still unmatched. The narrator is wonderful and I could listen to her voice all day Stanley’s partner cat Rosenfield also did a great job. It’s a great story that blends technology with modern romance.

She said I was not invited
Revisado: 01-15-24
I hope this helps those who were invited. The author said it was not made for me based on my skin color and my position relative to LGBTQIA plus. Since I am not part of these historically marginalized communities it is clear that this book was not written for me so I decided not to listen to it. I rated it based on the first chapter before she spelled out these things. Good luck in your entrepreneurial journey.
