Practical and inspiring

Revisado: 03-19-24

Excellent advice for actors at every level, and for all kinds of material. Funny too. And no dogma from a single technique

My only tiny gripe is that sometimes the author repeats himself twice in a row - this sounds like an editing error, where they had two takes of a sentence and put both back to back! It is infrequent enough though that it is not a big distraction. Worth listening to!

Fascinating Way to Look at the World and Culture

Revisado: 01-06-24

Regardless of whether you totally buy McGilchrist's argument about how the hemispheres of the brain have influenced Western culture, you will certainly look at language, art, and music in a new light. If you're an artist of any type, it will also make you rethink how you approach your work. This book also sparked my curiosity about a great number of thinkers and artists I had never heard of, or only knew of in passing, and made me excited to see more of their work.

Jordan's narration makes a complex book easier

Revisado: 12-17-22

This book is very complex and clearly geared toward an academic audience. Jordan's narration of it makes it a lot easier than the print version - he knows where to stress the key words in the sentences to make his points. If you enjoy his podcasts, you'll enjoy this - it's 30 hours of him going into his deepest ideas, and his influences (Jung, Nietzsche, Solzhenitsyn, and so on). I've never finished an audiobook this long before. Learned a lot, including some new words ("valence", for example).

My one quibble with the audiobook is that the pictures in the PDF are a little too low resolution sometimes to make out clearly - especially when you're looking at diagrams nested within other diagrams. The printed version has clearer pictures, especially when they get small.

Excellently performed play that makes you think

Revisado: 03-03-16

Physics, psychology, religion and politics come together beautifully in this play -- I was always eager to hear what would come next. That said, I had a few problems with the ending, which required a pretty heavy suspension of disbelief. But that quibble aside, this is a play that sucks you into its characters and makes you think about the ethics of science in modern society. And the performances make it a pleasure for listening.
