Moreover

Revisado: 04-21-24

This is the 4th book on Grant that I’ve listened to in the past month. I’ve enjoyed all of them. This one particularly because of its hyper focus on the presidency since I felt the previous had not been enough. Understandably since access to information had been limited and Grant in himself didn’t detail his terms in his autobiography. The conclusion will continue to increase my capacity for empathy.

Would you listen to Supercommunicator again? Why?

already listened twice. and yes - ill listen to it again.

Any additional comments?

provides a great history of how things were done so you can get some insights into why people are still doing things they used to do. it also gives some ideas how we can maybe stop people from continuing to approach communications in that old fashioned out dated wrong way. The book is nice enough to explain things in a way that maybe everyone can understand

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes. rushkoff is so much fun to listen to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

me. cause the book didn't really have characters in it.

Any additional comments?

the book is not a story. its about cultural change, it is about the past, it is about right now, it is about the future.

the only rock we eat

Revisado: 11-25-13

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

this was great to listen to while commuting I don't think anyone should sit and listen to it all at once. there is just too much to hear and so much to google outside of the book.

love this history

Revisado: 11-25-13

Is there anything you would change about this book?

not sure when the book should have ended. maybe it should keep going. I really enjoyed the first and second parts but got really bogged down in the court battle stuff of the third. kinda with i could have come out of that feeling good or not gone there at all.

Where does The Psychopath Test rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

usually i speed up a book towards the end, but not with this book. maybe it was the way he read it. maybe it was just the right length. maybe it was just that interesting.

Any additional comments?

I didn't know much about this book and never heard of jon ronson or the staring at goats story. and while listening i kept wondering if this was fiction or non-fiction.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I've recommended this audiobook to friends who play music. Some of them would be more likely to read it themselves and that is cool too. As long as the ideas are passed on. The wisdom in this book is overflowing.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

music makes cents

Any additional comments?

I was disappointed that David Byrne didn't do the reading for this recording. but after a chapter or two I forgot that I cared who was reading it. Honestly the words are so Byrne that by the end of the book I thought Garman was Byrne.
