Dr Phil

Revisado: 03-24-25

I have listened to many books on parenting through and after divorce that cite countless academic research articles to support their claims. This book cites Dr Phil’s website because the author is a contributor to the show. The book’s content is abrasive. I realize there are psychological ramifications for children of divorce, but law breaking, illegal drug activity, sexual assault, and joining a gang may not be so high on the potential outcome list as this author implies. The author who has himself been divorced while being the father of three children. This is the Jonathan Edwards take on scaring a parent into staying married, which may ultimately be the worst outcome for the children.

Mystical

Revisado: 10-13-24

It was a good story, easy to listen to. I would recommend it as an easy read for a beach or road trip. We did it in a book club so we’ll see the conversation that it inspires.

Better Narrator

Revisado: 04-06-24

I often find I’m not a fan of the narrator reading their own work, unless it’s Matthew McConaughey, Will Smith, or Matthew Perry types. We’re used to their voices. I understand the the author has the most complete knowledge of their meaning and intention, so I understand wanting to read it, but sometimes it’s painful. Jordan Peterson is a prime example. I couldn’t finish his book because of it.

That being said, I like that Pam didn’t narrate most of this book. Her voice isn’t too irksome, but it lacks the melody and tone that makes an audiobook easier to follow. I mean no hard feelings, it’s just my opinion.

What story?

His voice is so calming. It helped me relax and settle in for the night.

Something is True

The narrator was good. The storyline flowed fairly well. There wasn’t a bunch of useless chatter. The end though… what was real?

Old but Still Good

Revisado: 02-02-24

If you ignore that he says young women who are not affluent or are in hard times may kill themselves as if it’s an understood fact of society. I say they are instead murderous because they are generally unable to work and the man they agreed to marry has failed professionally, which affected more than him in those days.

That’s the only thing that really stuck in my craw. The rest of the book was good as always. The narrator has a nice tone that’s not hard to listen to for hours. The general lessons and tenants of the book are tried and true.

Narrator

Revisado: 12-13-23

I usually am hesitant to have an author be the narrator. In this case the presenter being an author, but I like Marianne. I thought this was a good workshop. There were a couple key lessons that I found beneficial. You can listen to find them too.

Please never narrate again

Revisado: 08-20-21

I listen to Jim’s podcast; I have his quest. However i dont know what voice he is using here. This is horrible! This is painful. He should’ve let Dr Hyman record all of it. I dont know that I’ll be able to keep listening to this.

Great Book

Revisado: 08-11-21

I’ve read much of Brené Brown’s work in the past, and this recorded workshop was very enjoyable. I think I’ll read Daring Greatly again, as that’s the boon she most referenced (because it was a new publication).

I love the work on vulnerability.

Narrator is horrible

Revisado: 07-01-21

While I’m sure the actual text is good, minus some grammar issues, the narrator has the worst diction and timing. Sometimes it’s like Christopher walked (not in a fun way) and sometimes it’s so monotonous I find myself dozing or my mind wandering.
