A decade ago, fourteen-year-old Suzanne Lombard, the daughter of Benjamin Lombard - then a senator, now a powerful vice president running for the presidency - disappeared in the most sensational missing-person case in the nation's history. Still unsolved, the mystery remains a national obsession. For legendary hacker and marine Gibson Vaughn, the case is personal - Suzanne Lombard had been like a sister to him.

I had trouble keeping up with the characters but, in fairness, I did it quite some time.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

Computer Generated?
Revisado: 10-22-22
This is the worst audiobook I have ever tried to listen to. I'll listen for 15 -> 45 minutes until that cat scratching my brain becomes unbearable. It absolutely must be Computer Generated. The pauses that a human being would not take or maddening + how can a human maintain that dull monotone delivery for 12 hours. I can listen to text to voice on my Amazon tablet and it sounds quite a bit better.
I'm sending the book back for credit and that's a horrible shame because it's such a good book ruined, for me, by the "narration."

This book by Michael Olpin, a top-notch stress expert, and Sam Bracken, a no-longer-stressed-out writer, stands out from other books on stress management in one significant way: its "whole-person" approach. Unwind! is about optimizing your body, heart, mind, and soul, recognizing that any and all of these dimensions of your life affect your anxiety level. It helps you get clear about who you are as well as your priorities and goals. The authors show you how to take charge of your life and how to make better choices that will prevent stress in the first place.

Been Here, Heard This!
Revisado: 12-24-17
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Maybe, if I had not already read so much other material on the topic, including Covey's books.
If you’ve listened to books by the authors before, how does this one compare?
No
How could the performance have been better?
A professional narrator. The narration was labored with uncomfortable sentence breaks in the wrong places.
Do you think Unwind! needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Nothing
Any additional comments?
A string of his take on other people's Ted talk followed by an extraordinarily irritating invitation to visit his website.

Zen from a Western perspective
Revisado: 12-03-16
I was thrilled to find this collection of lectures. I'd listen to Alan Watts on YouTube but the audio quality was not good. How could I have lived so long and not been exposed to this wonderful free thinker and questioner of everything.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

The Antidote is a series of journeys among people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. What they have in common is a hunch about human psychology: that it’s our constant effort to eliminate the negative that causes us to feel so anxious, insecure, and unhappy. And that there is an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

Attitude and therefore life changing material
Revisado: 07-07-16
I read all of the success books that a young person embarking on a career might read. I could never get on board with the outlandish claims and goals which did not align with reality. Read this book to put your yourself in the right frame of mind to allow success to or not to happen to you.

Just what I didn't know I was looking for!
Revisado: 01-27-16
Would you consider the audio edition of 10% Happier to be better than the print version?
This is an exception. I have not purchased the book.
What did you like best about this story?
The experience is lubricated with self-deprecating humor. Very enjoyable!
What does Dan Harris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It is such a pleasure to listen to Dan that it almost feels as if a close friend is explaining several difficult life lessons in easily digestible, understandable chunks.
