Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride. These so-called ‘deadly sins’, consecrated as an essential pillar of divinity, have been used by the patriarchy to control women in particular and keep them small throughout our history. What would happen if we stopped trying to be ‘good’? In On Our Best Behaviour, Elise Loehnen looks at the ways in which women have been penned by the fake morality of the sins, and how we find ourselves complicit in denying ourselves a full existence for fear of crossing some sort of line.

Reflecting on the history of the seven deadly sins as a way to understand the limitations the patriarchy place and expect of women and society at large. Women are encouraged to think about the seven deadly sins as virtues. So much more than this, very enlightening and enriching.

A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy and the general ‘hoo-ha’ of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed ‘the difficult bit’ was over and her 40s were going to be a doddle. If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering.

Many of the stories held within this book are so familiar to me. Told with wit, ferocity and joy. A pleasure to listen to.

Multi-award-winning Hannah Gadsby broke comedy with their show Nanette. Now they take us through the defining moments in their life and their powerful decision to tell the truth—no matter the cost. Harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby’s growth as a queer person, to their ever-evolving relationship with comedy, and their struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, finally arriving at the backbone of Nanette: the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling.

You feel all the feelings listening to Hannah explore her life and how it has got her to the now. Eloquent, authentic, funny, honest, and raw. I had a little cry and a little smile here and there.
I highly recommend this book. Love, love, loved it!

When retired actor Buffy decides to up sticks from London and move to rural Wales, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for. In possession of a run-down B&B that leans more towards the shabby than the chic and is miles from nowhere, he realises he needs to fill the beds - and fast. Enter a motley collection of guests: Harold, whose wife has run off with a younger woman; Amy, who’s been unexpectedly dumped by her (not-so) weedy boyfriend; and Andy, the hypochondriac postman whose girlfriend is much too much for him to handle.

Narration is terrible.
Revisado: 10-18-15
Narration is much too fast. This person rushes through the story making it impossible to listen to.

An incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever. In October 2006, the night before he was to turn 40, Rich experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly 50 pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he saw where his sedentary lifestyle was taking him. Most of us look the other way when granted such a moment of clarity, but not Rich.

Terrible narration.
Revisado: 01-04-13
Would you try another book from Rich Roll and/or Rich Roll?
No
What do you think your next listen will be?
I don't know yet.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
His voice lacked any expression, totally monotone, almost unbearable and I was unable to listen through to the end of the book.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Finding Ultra?
Shorten some of the descriptive elements. Individual stories, such as the long winded details of the run towards the end of the book were really tedious.
Any additional comments?
Never allow this man to narrate a book again. Money should be refunded for such dreadful reading.
