Excellent book

Revisado: 12-03-17

The only problem with the book was the sound quality. The other thing that would’ve been nice was to have an update as to how Carl Sagan might have thought about the state of the cosmos now.

Don't waste your time

Revisado: 11-03-17

The author displays faulty reasoning from start to finish. He is an authority because he took a class in hypnosisis and must be right because he is wealthy. He scoffs at the possibility that Trump might be a sociopath although there is considerable evidence to support that point of view. There is no correlation between the ideas he professes and the examples he gives. My only regret in reading this book is that I finished it. This sounds like cult worship to me.

Disappointing

Revisado: 04-14-16

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The first part of the book was interesting but then deteriorated when there was no evidence to support his claims.

If you’ve listened to books by Margaret Wertheim before, how does this one compare?

This is the only one I have read/listened to.

Was Physics on the Fringe worth the listening time?

No. I was intrigued by the Carter character but annoyed that there was no scientific basis for his beliefs.I don't understand how someone with training in physics can write about nonsense just because the fellow is very bright. .

Misleading Title

Revisado: 04-26-15

Would you try another book from John Brockman and/or David Colacci and Susan Ericksen ?

Not likely.

What was most disappointing about John Brockman’s story?

There was no substance to it. As I listened to the entire book I was getting angry at myself for continuing in the expectation that things would get better.

What about David Colacci and Susan Ericksen ’s performance did you like?

They were good.

Far too long

Revisado: 10-05-13

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No , it is far too long. This book could have conveyed everything in 8 or 10 hrs. By the end of the book I felt that I had wasted my time. There were interesting portions but...

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Perhaps, because the chances are it would be over in 3 hrs or less.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gulp?

There are too many to single out one but perhaps Elvis Presley's megacolon.

This book makes one reconsider our own bodily functions. It is informative and also humorous.

Excellent!

Revisado: 04-01-13

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

Yes, because it's loaded with interesting information.

Any additional comments?

I have read or listened to many books related to this topic. It is amazing how they all seem to refer to different scientists who bring new insights and make our understanding that much better.

Interesting read but ending prolonged

Revisado: 03-11-13

What made the experience of listening to The Lost Symbol the most enjoyable?

It was a good mystery but lasted 2 hours beyond the logical ending. Full of unexpected turns.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mal'akh because he was unpredictable.

Any additional comments?

The introduction of noetic science, religion and "ancient wisdom" would be objectionable if not part of a fictional plot.

A great listen

What did you love best about The Willpower Instinct?

Some very simple ideas that are the opposite of what I had previously thought. Now to see if they will work. I can certainly relate to guilt and "what the hell" concepts. Many people might benefit from the suggestions in this book.
