Over simplified complex subjects at a cost

Revisado: 04-12-25

Sapiens is certainly accessible and entertaining, that accessibility comes at a cost. In its effort to condense tens of thousands of years into under 500 pages, the book often oversimplifies complex subjects. This tendency can make the book feel more like a TED Talk than a rigorous historical account.

Mixed Feelings—Inspiring but Lacking Depth

Revisado: 03-31-25

I appreciate the grit and resilience in Can’t Hurt Me, but the audiobook’s hybrid format—a mix of narration and podcast-style commentary—didn’t work for me. I found it distracting rather than engaging.

David Goggins embodies the “gladiator” mindset, proving that discipline and relentless effort can overcome even the harshest circumstances. His story is undeniably inspiring, with powerful messages about not letting your past define you and pushing beyond perceived limits.

However, the book falls short in addressing the deeper psychological impact of childhood trauma. Goggins never acknowledges the PTSD that often comes with an abusive upbringing, and he seems unable to fully enjoy his victories. While his mindset fuels incredible achievements, it also leaves an unresolved layer to his story.

If you’re looking for motivation and a no-excuses approach to life, this book delivers. But if you’re hoping for a nuanced exploration of healing alongside achievement, you may find it lacking.

The story started slowly but the second half of the book delivered. You will need to get the trilogy

Outstanding narrator

Revisado: 11-23-24

While the setting and narration are phenomenal, the story takes too long to resolve the conflict, giving the impression of a young adult’s introduction to science fiction.

Beautiful story about life

Revisado: 01-01-24

"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" is a captivating exploration of life intricately woven into the realms of both reality and game development. The author's meticulous detailing of characters, their motivations, and emotions mirrors the depth with which she explores the world of game creation.

The narrative skillfully intertwines the complexities of human existence with the intricacies of building virtual worlds. The characters come alive, their motivations becoming palpable, and their emotions resonating with authenticity. The author delves into the psyche of each character, allowing readers to intimately understand their struggles, triumphs, and the intricate tapestry of their lives.

Notably, the narrative doesn't merely focus on the characters but seamlessly integrates the fascinating world of game development. The author's ability to draw parallels between the two worlds adds a unique layer to the storytelling. The details surrounding game creation are presented with the same level of passion and precision as the characters' emotional landscapes.

In "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," the author masterfully invites readers to contemplate the intersections of reality and the virtual, emphasizing that, much like in a game, life is a complex narrative where each choice, emotion, and interaction shapes the ultimate story. The result is a rich and immersive reading experience that seamlessly blends the profound with the technical.

Historical story telling

Revisado: 06-07-23

The story is told as a documentary keeping close to the actual events. The performance is limited, if you are not interested in the material the narrator will not keep your attention.

This book goes over the history and psychology of storytelling. While interesting, it won’t help you improve on your delivery or writing of stories

Terrible narration, weak story

Revisado: 05-15-23

First the narration of this book is terrible. It mumbling most of the time or low volume.
As for the story, starts really well introducing characters and locations, only to reduce the story to 2 main people solving problems by basically pulling solutions out of a magic hat.

Excellent ending to this universe

Revisado: 04-12-23

Combining all the stories into a single book is quite the task. The author did a good job of wrapping up and combining the different books into a single story
