Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 14
When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom.

Absolutely intolerable narration
Revisado: 11-03-24
The narrator’s attempt to read in some ridiculous dramatic fashion makes the book unlistenable. I’m so annoyed. The content seems like it’s so interesting and I want to listen to it so much, but the way this woman reads is SO distracting that I can’t even listen to the content, all I can focus on is her ridiculous theatrical “performance!” Can someone please tell these people to just READ the book- it’s not a broadway play for heavens sake! I hope I can get a refund for this because I couldn’t get past the second chapter.
I feel badly for the author whose fascinating work is ruined by this narration.

A paradigm-shifting book in the vein of Sapiens that brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to historical and cultural issues of history, education, money, power, and sustainability - and offers a new template for living. As an indigenous person, Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from a unique perspective, one tied to the natural and spiritual world. In considering how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation, he raises important questions. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently?

INCREDIBLE book and narration!
Revisado: 06-15-23
This is one of the best books I've read/listened to in a long time. Not only is the content enlightening and though-provoking, the narration by Yunkaporta is fantastic. I've recommended this book to everyone I know, and always highly recommend they listen to it, rather than read it, because the way he narrates is just captivating, and it connects to the content about storytelling.
