not my bag

Revisado: 07-09-21

I got about 20 minutes in and heard nothing original to me, and really didnt resonate with the narrators tone or attitude... felt more like a lecture than anything else... but I've been "studying" productivity and mindset for a while now so maybe this is better for someone else... who enjoys being scolded.

nothing new

Revisado: 05-20-21

I honestly found this to be pretty trite and basic, without a lot of structured, actionable instruction (unless you count things like, "you should be working on your character....". Maybe if this was my first self development book and I'd never seen an inspiring meme before... also, narration is dry and there's a lot of distracting background noise; sounds like he did it in a inner city kitchen. a big "meh" for me.

surpassed my expectations

Revisado: 03-02-21

If you're considering it, I'd highly recommend giving this a listen. I was pleasantly surprised, and I'm an avid self-development and LOA enthusiast.

the exact opposite of how it works lol

Revisado: 03-01-21

I got about 2 minutes in... in that time they tell you what NOT to think about... , to "calm your mind and think deeply", and to remember the things that make you feel insecure and bad LOL followed by a bit more "you are not insecure...", etc etc anyone who knows anything about the mind knows this is immediately counterproductive. the mind doesn't think in terms of what NOT to think about. this was technically free yet I want my 2 minutes back.

An entertaining-ish attack on religion

Revisado: 10-07-20

While I, personally am neither religious nor atheist, I can't help but roll my eyes when one side of the "religion vs. science" debate uses the same line of blatant judgement and criticism against the opposite for their lack of ability to 1) believe differently and 2) allow others their beliefs.
Within the first hour of listening you'll hear gems to the effect of, "Faith doesn't allow access to information due to it making people too difficult to control" and "The Faith has ceased freedom of speech... free thinking is forbidden." (These are paraphrased.) So far there is zero temperance or fair representation of those who are both religious and compassionate towards those who are not through temperance. So, I stopped wasting my time. Again, not religious... but neither am I intolerant or bigoted toward religious groups.
If you have a chip on your shoulder about religion, as the author quite clearly does, and you want to spend your time reinforcing and stewing in it through what I'm sure will be at least a decent enough way to pass a long car ride, go ahead and give it a try. Personally, having actually studied advanced Quantum Physics as well as human psychology and spirituality and finding the religion vs science debate is usually (as are most things) more an issue of human error: I find the attitude expressed by the author thus far BASIC, at best, and ultimately counter-productive in the goal of creating a mindset of understanding and tolerance between people of different backgrounds. This amounts to a big "meh" for me; I wanted entertainment, not an extremist view on religion vs science or left vs. right rant.

Christopher Moore and Evan Morton do it again

Revisado: 10-07-20

If vulgarity offends you... make an exception. The wit in these books is too good to miss. Honestly, I'm not usually one for "bawdy tales" myself but Christopher Moore weaves words and phrases so well, it makes the less sophisticated moments feel ironic and, at times, even cute. As to his apparent affinity for adding color to popular Shakespearian classics, I feel its an improvement... then again, I'd sooner buy a Mona Lisa if "updated" by a feminist graffiti/collage artist, so keep that grain of salt in mind before you take my opinion at face value.

Good content, BAD audio

Revisado: 08-06-20

Worthwhile content, but be prepared for distracting slurring, bad pronounciation, unedited re-takes, and volume fluctuations.

biblical references distract from usable info

Revisado: 07-14-20

science(?) drowned in non-stop Biblical preachings and references. Not what you'd think by the cover.

Revisado: 04-10-20

if you like anything to do with physics, metaphysics,, spirituality, religious studies, or the nature of the universe in general..... yeah.... probably just, listen to it.
