Great topic for those in this age group

Revisado: 04-27-21

A great book that was hampered by poor editing on the part of the publisher. I heard many retakes and page shuffling that should have made the editing cutting room floor instead of the final audiobook. Otherwise, this book and topics are very informative and important for those for whom are age 50+ to listen.

Good info; but a dry read

Revisado: 09-27-16

I got the book because I was interested in learning more on environmental and renewable energy alternatives. It was informative but also a little dated. The book could use an updated edit. The narrator is a little dry so the content may get a little slow at times, but it is nonetheless very interesting,

Excellent and Insightful

Revisado: 07-30-15

I rated moderate on the scale of HSPs and found this book an excellent resources for understanding & explaining this character trait. I found it useful and appreciated the balance between the advantages & disadvantages with many strategies for coping. The narrator did not annoy me at all. Listen to the sample if you have trouble enjoying audiobooks when you don't care for the narrator.

Packed with practical advice

Revisado: 07-30-15

I listened to this after Dr. Elaine Aron's The Highly Sensitive Person. It gave many strategies for dealing with the problems of being an HSP in the modern world. I will return to this book many times in the future for advice.

A Dog of an Audiobook

Revisado: 10-17-11

I am a avid listener to audiobooks and this one is one of the worst I have heard. I concur with the other reviewers who gave it 1 star. I was looking for an insight to the company and their rise to success, like the book The Facebook Effect. But this one was simply about the author, who is really a bit wack. So much that I couldn't even get through the first 21 minutes of this thing. I wasted a credit on this book. Buyer beware! Take a listen first and read all of the reviews before you think about downloading (which is what I should have done).

Dry reading, scientific perspective, not worth it

Revisado: 09-15-11

I have purchased nearly every book about autism on this site and this by far is the worst one. Not only is it a very dry listening experience, but the author is clearly not the parent of an autistic child nor does it appear that she has much interaction with the families of autistic children. As the parent of an autistic son, I am fighting to find out more information, in particular, how to recover my son from autism. This book does not offer any hope, discounts any new or innovative therapies, nor is interesting to listen to. Don't bother buying it and go get Jenny McCarthy's audiobooks instead!

Took too long to get to the battle

Revisado: 05-03-11

I got the book in preparation for my Marathon to get a little idea about the history of the battle of the famous run. Though it started off well, the book went into almost too much background detail and it wasn't until the preparation and the battle for Marathon that it got really good. If you skipped to chapter 4 or 5 and listened to the end, you would find it a great book. Perhaps the abridged version did this. But was far as the unabridged version, I rate it just average (because of its boring and unnecessarily long first half of the book).

Not a good audiobook; buy the book instead

Revisado: 03-07-08

This book was recommended by someone who really enjoyed the book, so I thought I'd give the audiobook a try. Only after a few minutes did I realize that purchasing the audiobook was a mistake. The reader makes listening difficult because she has a monotone voice and the accents she uses for each tribal word or name invokes almost an air of condescension. When she quotes a Japanese officer or headhunter, she does so in a Japanese or headhunter accent, making a mockery of their English.

I found it annoying and would not recommend it as an audiobook. I would suggest that anyone interested in the story should read the book itself and avoid the pretend accents that make this audiobook one of the worst I've heard.

Who's Looking Out For You?

Revisado: 10-22-03

Excellent no nonsense writing to get people to think about who really has their best interest at heart. This makes you think about who you associate with and what effect that has on your life. Good for family relationships, friendships, and professional relationships. Written subjectively from a man who is not afraid to take a stand for something and speak his mind.
