Fabulous classic

Revisado: 03-17-19

This the second “reading” of Freakonomics. This first was the old fashioned way.

It’s still fresh and fascinating.

I gave hard copies to my near adult children, as they entered college, in the hopes that it would encourage a healthy degree of skepticism and way of thinking.

Just as relevant as ever.

Informative, well produced but had the feel of an infomercial

Revisado: 03-13-19

Lots of information. Maybe too much.

Might be hard to implement everything. But some solid ideas.

At points it seemed a little like an infomercial from Bulletproof and that undermines credibility somewhat.

Still interesting though.

Compelling and very insightful

Revisado: 11-20-18

Lennox makes solid and logical arguments throughout this book albeit not as succinct as some listeners may like.

At times some were difficult to follow and could have benefited from some humour. But after all Lennox is a mathematician.

The only significant criticism however was the narrator. His slightly whispered tone and odd pronouncing of certain phrases had a somewhat robotic (think HAL in 2001 a Space Odyssey) feel. Which in an eleven hour book can grow tiresome.

Meh

Revisado: 11-02-18

The narrator Alan Carlson was fine. But the editing was very mediocre. A number of times throughout you would hear the same take twice. Or the narrator cough and restart.

As far as the material I liked the statistics used but the material seemed reused - a lot. The same analogies over and over again - and not for effect. The book seemed like a collection of essays or podcast script put together for the sake of a book.

So not terrible but nothing enlightening either.

Great story teller with a wonderful heart.

Bob Goff has a splendid style of storytelling. Kind, gentle, humorous and always with love as his objective. Kind of like a cool funny uncle. Great listen. Very touching. Not preachy.

Fabulous listen!

Revisado: 06-05-18

Practical advice throughout, at times Tender and at others very very funny.

A very intelligent philosophical book with any mumbo jumbo.

This is a book I want to share with my college aged kids.

I was sorry when it ended.

Hilarious and intriguing

Revisado: 12-06-17

I think we would all like to be 10% Happier. I’m not completely sold on the meditation bit I must admit it’s intriguing and a consideration. Dan’s style is very funny and self deprecating, so it’s an easy listen. I liked it so much I’m going to order a couple hard copies on Amazon and share them with friends. Great job.

Great book. Easy read/listen. Very entertaining while providing a ton of useful information, facts and insights. I’m buying four hard copies for my kids.

Cleverly written

Revisado: 10-22-17

The book has a Socratic style in which the writer delivers his message by describing the process of writing the book. Both entertaining and informative.
