Weird tone and organization

Revisado: 04-13-18

First off let me start by saying that I did get a few tips out of this book that were applicable to my depression. With that out of the way, this book had a lot of repetition, was organized in a confusing manner and didn't always produce the best advice. A lot of things said earlier in the book were then contradiced later. The tone was pretty bad in my honest opinion. It oscillated between overly complicated medical jargon to overly simple methods of actually helping your depression. Still worth a read, but doesn't get my recommendation if you don't already own it.

"Different is special"

Revisado: 04-09-18

And so is this book. Kudos John Oliver, for another great piece of work. I can't wait to buy another copy of this book to give to my nephew. If you want to teach your kids tolerance, this is the book for you. 10/10 do recommend

The best book I've ever read

Revisado: 04-05-18

Who would have known that Vincent van Gogh could write as beautifully as he painted? this book is uplifting, inspiring and heart wrenching. The letters he writes to his brother are exceptionally descriptive and not only give insight into the world of fine arts that is enough to inspire even the least artistic person to at least view art through a different lens, but they also give so much insight into mental illness and the difference between pain and suffering. Hands down, one of the most interesting and entertaining books I've ever read. I'll be buying a hard copy just so I can see all the sketches that are mentioned.

Fascinating Page Turner!

Revisado: 02-16-18

This is the quickest I've ever read an Audible. The tone was so honest. It is all about the brutal experience that one normal young woman had to endure to rediscover herself in a literal way.

Such a humanizing book

Revisado: 02-13-18

This book is all about realizing that both the patient, and the doctor, even the most skilled doctors, are human. A whole word can change with the slip of a knife, for good or for bad. This book really puts into perspective the lives of surgeons in such a wonderful way-- you will laugh, cringe and cry throughout this book. This was probably the funnest book I have read this year so far.

A little outdated, but still amazing!

Revisado: 02-06-18

First off, I highly recommend this as a pre-read to The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons. That book kinda feels like the newer version of this book, adding a little more detail to the scientific side of things. I Iove the pacing on this book- each chapter has a conscious subject and story. And you can tell the author had a real passion for his clients and their stories. if more people read books like this, I truly believe we would all be more understanding and supportive of one another, regardless of our mental gifts or detriments.

This is the happiest, sad book ever. and so charming. I think this is one of those books that is universally recommendable to young and old. Also, the speaker is perfect for the reading.
