Based on four years of intensive primary document research, Lawrence in Arabiadefinitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.

Would you listen to Lawrence in Arabia again? Why?
Yes. There is a lot of info covered here. One could easily gain from a second or third listen.
Any additional comments?
Goes beyond the typical history by introducing several important characters (american, german, israeli...) in addition to T.E. Lawrence. He comes back to them throughout the narrative to flesh out the experience. I already know a bit of the history but not enough to say for sure how biased or accurate it is. But it definitely seems to ring true.

Few job titles carry the emotional charge of " salesman". And yet this widely misunderstood vocation generates more revenue for companies - and creates more opportunity for individuals - than virtually any other job. Millions of people are looking for a better way to make a living, but most would never consider becoming a salesman - even though no other job can offer the same number of available positions, income potential, schedule flexibility or job security.

What would have made The Greatest Job You Never Thought Of better?
The author actually has very limited experience in the subject matter!
Offers very outdated advice like clipping out newspaper ads when job searching.
Would you ever listen to anything by Frank Felker again?
Probably not.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Starts out good. Even inspiring. But in the end the amount of valuable information is thin.
