This book is amazing

Revisado: 10-15-19

This is (i assume) one of those books that some time after you have tried the methods in your life you will probably want to read again, and discover more and more depth.
I like that the book is very practical, very short and offers tons of examples. These methods sound so simple but so powerful.
Thanks for the author for taking the time to share these insights. :)

Write like a gardener

Revisado: 07-30-19

This book describes how to write like a gardener and it seems I found my path. I've read or listened a dozen books about writing, watched clips on youtube about creating character and plot ect. Watched masterclass.com courses about writing and every single one of them were about writing like an architect. If you are tired of building a world, planning character arcs and setting plot points from here to the world's end, before even the first sentence is put on the page, this book offers an alternative. Personally the key takeaway was to create a situation, then plant couple hollow characters(seed of a character) in the middle of it and let the story and the characters grow. This way of writing lets you dive in to the story immediately and enjoy writing. There was one writing exercise and that was very useful since it get's you going and shows the process in practice. This book also gives good practical examples for how to setup a good routine and the point of the routine is to keep writing. It doesn't matter how terrible the writing is, but to just keep going. This is a very important advice that I have also found in other areas of art. There is also an example for how to transition from amateur to professional writer if that's your thing. One thing I would have liked to see is a way, or some idea for how to create those interesting situations to start with, but perhaps there just is no good method to do this.. All in all, I like the book and will definitely recommend it to anyone who will listen. Thanks Stephen. :)

Awesome

I like the narrator who so easily makes the story come to life.
The story is awesome. I like how the author expects an intelligent audience and makes no apologies for outlining detailed medical cases and asks philosophical questions that make you think.

Get to the point!

Revisado: 02-20-19

I will return this book because the author seems to talk about everything else but the seven ways to think like 21st-century economist. For example instead of just saying that the author created a diagram in the shape of a donut to illustrate the idea, the author goes to endless branches of description about images and why to use images and how images form in the brain and so on... these branches are completely unrelated to the topic of the book and offer endless hours of empty filler for subjects that everybody already knows.

Story is interesting, but narrator is a robot.

Revisado: 02-10-19

The story is very interesting, but sometimes the author beats each argument to death, by over analysing and over explaining. It’s like the author doesn’t want to leave anything to interpretation. But it’s not too bad and the quality of the story makes up for this.
The only down side is that the narrator reads like the story like a robot. You would think that fits with the story, but it only makes the listening feel like work. It is unfortunate that a book can be ruined like this. This is of course subjective and you can listen to the sample and see if you agree or not.
