Extensive quality control issues in this recording

Revisado: 11-15-21

The content of this book is important, but the author does a poor job of organizing it into a coherent argument. This book could be half as long and be twice as effective.

The narrator for this title is ok, but she reads it with a carelessness that feels as if she is she disagrees with the content and it comes across as insincere. There are about a dozen times when the narrator starts a sentence over again, which tells me that the quality control on this title was poor or non-existent.

I suggest that Audible re-record this book with a different narrator and give everyone who has purchased this version of the book their money back.

useful, but repetitive and annoying

Revisado: 03-24-16

The information in this book is really useful, but it is presented in a repetitive and annoying fashion. It seems to me like the author didn't have enough material to fill a whole book, so he just keeps paraphrasing and repeating the same messsage, 'eat more high-quality food until sated, but no more.'. And then there are these testimonials that come on once every sixty seconds or so. They need to be in their own chapter so they can be listen to or skipped entirely. They get to be annoying. Finally, the book comes with a companion PDF file that is 160 pages long. Are you kidding me! The reason I got this audiobook was so I wouldn't have to read it! My advice: check this book out of the library and skim it. You won't miss a thing.

surprisingly useful and specific

Revisado: 03-07-14

My expectation for this book was that it was going to be filled with generalities about how kids in our times are being overdiagnosed with a variety of psychological disorders. And the introduction of this book does indeed feel that way. But what was surprising, was the number of specific cases that Dr. Gnaulati discusses in his book. In chapter 8 he discusses a boy whom he called William, and who had been classified with Autism. Dr. Gnaulati convincingly explains the difference between a clinical case of Autism and a introverted, assertive, smart boy which is what William turns out to be. By grounding his explanation in a specific experience, he puts us inside his mind and teaches how to think about these issues.

Great first third, repetitive after that

Revisado: 07-30-13

I really enjoyed listening to the first third of the book where the author explains his technique for how to create jokes. His system seems sound, and it is worth getting the book for just this part. The rest of the book gets a little repetitive.

Cartoonish, but a good listen

Revisado: 01-11-05

This book is Indiana Jones meets Days of our Lives. It's full of drama and characters that are easy to like and dislike. The beginning takes a short bit to get going (because the writer introduces many characters), but once it does, it's smooth sailing. The story had three plot twists that surprised me. I liked that. The narrator does a good job of making the characters sound distinct, which helped me keep track of who was saying what. The archeology is mostly fantasy, so don't expect to believe everything said about the Maya. Do expect, however, to be entertained.
