This is an exuberant group portrait of four extraordinary writers, Zelda Fitzgerald, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker, and Edna Ferber, whose loves, lives, and literary endeavors captured the spirit of the 1920s.

Hard to follow
Revisado: 01-28-23
Listening to it can be confusing, because there are so many people highlighted and it jumps around.

This is the book that launched William F. Buckley, Jr.'s career. As a young, recent Yale graduate, he took on Yale's professional and administrative staffs, citing their hypocritical diversion from the tenets on which the institution was built. Yale was founded on the belief that God exists, and thus that virtue and individualism represent immutable cornerstones of education. However, when Buckley wrote this scathing expose, the institution had made an about face.

Terrifying
Revisado: 03-21-22
I’ll save you time. Religion good. Collectivism bad. What an incredible irony that the largest collective, religion, is seen as bad. Change the religion from Christianity to Islam and I’m sure the author would have a very different take on whether Yale should remain a secular instituting of learning.Proselytizing does not belong on the classroom.

Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in. With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately....

Untuck this recording quality

Gratuitous profanity with good information.
Revisado: 08-26-21
Profanity is best used to accentuate a point. I like profanity, I use it as needed and sometimes when it’s not. It was overused and lost effectiveness to the point of distraction. The recording and performance are awful. It sound like it was recorded in a bathroom. You can hear the turning of pages and outside noise at times. Better to hire a professional for the performance.
With that said, the content was amusing and useful.

Welcome to the era of true marriages of convenience. Discover the reality of trading someone’s hand in marriage, such as an American heiress, in exchange for money, power, or political clout through compelling history lectures. Showcased in novels such as Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence and in present day pop culture through works like Downtown Abbey, the Gilded Age was an era of contradictions. Life on both sides of the Atlantic was grimy and glamorous, prosperous and impoverished, traditional and revolutionary.

Interesting and Varied
Revisado: 05-23-21
This lecture series exposed me to the economic impact of the dollar princesses which I had not considered prior. It is also interesting to learn that Churchill’s mother was a dollar princess. Without his leadership during the war, there may have been a different outcome for Britain.
The performance was grating. Delivered in a valley girl accent (?) with condescending overtones at times.

In the groundbreaking new book Accelerate (XLR8), leadership, change-management expert, and best-selling author John Kotter provides a fascinating answer - and a powerful new framework for competing and winning in a world of constant turbulence and disruption. Accelerate (XLR8) vividly illustrates the five core principles underlying the new network system, the eight accelerators that drive it, and how leaders must create urgency in others through role modeling.

Worst audio narration ever.
Revisado: 05-17-21
Narrator speaks in a sing song condescending voice the whole time. It was all I could do to finish the book. I didn’t think there was a huge difference in this book and his earlier work. The vignettes were told in excruciating and boring detail. By the time I got to the end of one the examples I’d had forgotten where it started.
