Why Are We Yelling? is the essential book about how to turn arguments into a productive and enjoyable dialogue rather than a bad-natured confrontation. The way we argue is broken - whether we're arguing about immigration, the existence of ghosts, the best burger in the city or who's allowed to sit in your favourite chair. We end up digging in our heels and yelling at one another or choosing to avoid heated topics entirely. Either way, problems continue to fester under the surface and inevitably return as even bigger problems later on. There has to be a better way.

After reading Cialdini’s book ‘Influence’ I doubt even a narrative professional could save this one.

The sentence is the common ground where every writer walks. A poet writes in sentences, but so does the unsung author who came up with Items trapped in doors cause delays. A good sentence can be written (and read) by anyone if we simply give it the gift of our time, and it is as close as most of us will get to making something truly beautiful. Enter acclaimed author Professor Joe Moran. Using minimal technical terms, First You Write a Sentence is his unpedantic but authoritative explanation of how the most ordinary words can be turned into verbal constellations of extraordinary grace.

Worth listening to
Revisado: 10-13-21
One of the best audio books I have had the pleasure of listening to. Some really helpful hacks and valuable insights into writing. I especially enjoyed his thoughts on using verbs, strong and weak, and sentence length. Sentences are like music, I like that. His views on paragraphing, and Christensen’s ideas on cumulative sentences were something I was interested in prior to listening, and he developed the idea. ‘Well done’, as Mr Phillips, one of my favourite characters from Lanchester’s novel of the same name, would say!

Entertaining but needs an editor
Revisado: 09-12-18
Dalton’s use of metaphor was excellent at times, stretched at others. I can wear that, and I get that he’s aiming at an Australian audience, hence the many references to so many Australian consumer products. I did feel though that the manuscript needed a good edit. (‘he said inquiringly, she said cautiously....etc.). There was also a fair bit of repetition, there are only so many ways to say the same thing. I made it almost halfway before the authors use of adverbs drove me nuts and I couldn’t go on. Plenty of gems in this book, overall 2 stars.

Arthur Miller’s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, has become a key text in Western literature. This unusually powerful recording, made for radio in 1953, was directed by Elia Kazan who premiered the play. It features Thomas Mitchell and Arthur Kennedy as father and son. Willy, a travelling salesman, based in New York, relentlessly chases material success.

While the prose was lyrical and often profound to the point of nonsensical, it was the narrative that forced me to stop halfway through. Nobel prize?
