Revisado: 08-26-16

A great book about a contemporary spirituality - that aligns quite nicely with psychology I might add. Best part is that it is narrated by the author. -yes, this book changed and helped me.

An Excellent Science Audio Book

Revisado: 11-29-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to friends interested in broadening their knowledge of curious sciences. This book skirts the pictures, formulas and diagrams which can be frustrating to listeners, but still delivers a deep understanding of the subject.

Sync is a terrific counterpart to James Gleick's Chaos. Strogatz and Gleick Both hint at the profound implication that everything relates to this self organizing property.

Any additional comments?

I know I'm giving all 5 stars to this review. I'm just a layperson, and this book did not fail to deliver thought provoking, real, material in an understandable way. Maybe a science major would have a lesser opinion, but I'd still feel we would agree it was a good audio book.

Unexpected Benefits

Revisado: 11-12-12

What made the experience of listening to The Unheard Cry for Meaning the most enjoyable?

I purchased this book because it had the word "humanism" in the title. But, the book is not about Humanism, the brand of morality that goes with atheism. It was about being-human and finding purpose, meaning, and happiness.

THE TRULY STRANGE THING is that after reading/listening to this book to the end. I didn't feel the urge to drink alcohol anymore. THE URGE DISAPPEARED overnight and I was fixed. The book has nothing to do with urges or drinking, just happiness and meaning.

This book shines a tiny light on those big questions "why am I here?", "what should i be doing?".

If you’ve listened to books by Viktor E. Frankl before, how does this one compare?

I believe his other books have slight religious overtones. This one does not.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did have an extreme reaction -though I wasn't looking for it. I was interested in humanistic morality, but found information on happiness, purpose, and meaning.

Any additional comments?

This book is a collection of essays. Some of the chapters repeat information, and some chapters stray onto tangent topics. But the information is great.

Dawkins Perfectly Narrates This Home Run Text

Revisado: 04-25-12

Would you consider the audio edition of On the Origin of Species to be better than the print version?

YES. If you're a non science student, it can be difficult to plow through a large science text like this. Now that Dawkins reads it so well to you, anyone can just sit back and SOAK IN Darwin's ground breaking revelation.

What was one of the most memorable moments of On the Origin of Species?

A person can actually keep pace with Darwin's realizations that the other naturalist of his time were flat WRONG.

What does Richard Dawkins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Richard Dawkins obviously feels strongly about Darwin's work, he brings energy and clairity.

Any additional comments?

For me, it would have been a tough time reading a tome like this. It would have sat half read for months or even years. Having it narrated by Dawkins was a treat and the book was consumed in 3 days.
