Something everyone should listen to and understand
Revisado: 08-20-22
Diversity is the buzz word of the decade. But people just focus on race, gender, etc., etc. However, this book focuses on the true advantages of diversity i.e. diversity of cognition. It still get you back to importance of diversity of identity, but in a much more intelligent way that anything I have seen before.

Historia
For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

I didn't know what I was getting into
Revisado: 08-20-22
So you really have to know what you are getting into - and I did not. I would love a history of the United States that captures many of the themes this books captures - to cast more light on some of the ugly parts of our history that have been undeservedly glorified in public schools. However, that is all this book does. And 34 hours is just too long for that.

Historia
The culture of “safety” and its intolerance of opposing viewpoints has left many young people anxious and unprepared for adult life. Lukianoff and Haidt offer a comprehensive set of reforms that will strengthen young people and institutions, allowing us all to reap the benefits of diversity, including viewpoint diversity. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what’s happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live and work and cooperate across party lines.

A must read for all college students and parents
Revisado: 06-23-20
This is more true now then when the book was written. Free speech is being eliminated at schools and across the nation. It is scary how the change in a simple dynamic (smart phones and over-protective parents) can backfire so radically in such a short period of time. This book is an excellent read in explaining the problem, the origin of the problem and possible solutions while bringing in enough evidence and stories to make it surprisingly interesting.

Great Story, great narrator
Revisado: 06-23-20
This is a must read/listen. The narrator was excellent and the story suburb. This would have been good as a fiction novel, but the fact it is a true story is amazing. The details in this book are spot on.

Pretty good book
Revisado: 03-06-20
I would have liked to see Lori narrate the book herself to add better emotion into the story. The narrator was excellent, but with this type of book, it would have been good to hear it from the author's voice.
Overall this was a good read and would recommend it to anyone. It was more of a story than a dive into human nature (more of what I had hoped), but ultimately it succeeded on both fronts.

Excellent summary of Human Psychology
Revisado: 03-06-20
Nothing in this book is ground breaking, but I have never read a single book that was able to bring as much useful information about personality types and disorders as this. Plus, Robert Greene does a great job in helping the reader discover some of these traits within ourselves.

Historia
Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among the world's great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

The story is a classic, but it is a little long and hard to follow on audiobook at times. The narration was absolutely top-notch!!!

Historia
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

This is a good book, but a little hard to keep straight on an audio book. 12 life lessons is a lot easier book to read via audiobook. However, I do recommend this book.

Good historical account - long read
Revisado: 03-17-19
The historical account of the battle of Gettysburg is top-notch. However, it is a little long and verbose. I listened to it twice and it keep me entertain both times. But recommended to a couple of people and they struggled with it.

Historia
Living in a squalid room in St. Petersburg, the indigent but proud Rodion Raskolnikov believes he is above society. Obsessed with the idea of breaking the law, Raskolnikov resolves to kill an old pawnbroker for her cash. Although the murder and robbery are bungled, Raskolnikov manages to escape without being seen. And with nothing to prove his guilt and a mendacious confessor in police custody, Raskolnikov seems to have committed the perfect crime. But in Dostoyevsky’s world of moral transgressions, with its reason and its consequences, Raskolnikov’s plan has a devastating hitch.

Classic story and great naration
Revisado: 03-17-19
The audible recording was cheaper than all others of the same book so I was a little leery. However, the narration was top notch - one of my favorite narration. On the story, of course, one of the all-time classics. Widely considered one of the top books ever written, this book both keeps your attention and teaches some great philosophical principles and lessons.
