Easy to follow if you have psychotherapy training

Revisado: 06-01-23

I think the book was brief and specific. Something I appreciate when there’s so much reading/listening I need to do.

It provides practical exercises that can be done everyday.

I don’t think this is a self-help book. If you are a patient or client is better to read this after beginning ACT with a trained psychotherapist.

Was this written by the Yellow press?

Revisado: 08-18-22

Good questions. Very misinformed conclusions. The author believes are in the forefront with little option of challenging his own believes. A book about psychopathology and psychopharmacology that is full of bad reasoning.

Great course, although Title should change

Revisado: 06-04-21

I loved that this professor included mini examples of cooking through the lectures. My main issue is with what the title implies. It should have been titled:

“Food: A Cultural Culinary History from a very WESTERN and NORTH AMERICAN point of view because research and writing time wasn’t dedicated to delving in contemporary Asian, Latinamerican, and African food practices or Food Practices as Related to the United States Experience.”

When speaking of ANCIENT cooking and origins of foods the author hits (I believe) the spot between broad and specific topics. When it starts to lecture about post-medieval times is mainly fixed in the Western Hemisphere. Although I recognize that the author made an effort to include Native American pre-colonial food practices.

I really liked his attempt to predict future food practices in the United States. I believe he will be on point in many of his predictions.

A truly universal history

Revisado: 04-20-21

Contrary to many “universal history” that usually concentrates on Egypt, Greek, and maybe some Arab culture, this course provides summarized information about a broader range of cultures from ancient Asia to the Americas. The professor teaches about China, India, Mesoamerica, and even the Polynesians, which is an exception on other Great Courses I've listened to.

Should’ve been a 2 star podcast

Revisado: 03-27-21

This reading should've been a 2-star FREE podcast.

The book lacks depth in analysis, information and historical facts. It barely said anything about Mansa Musa and Timbuktu.

The narrator should consider his choice of tone of voice when reading quotes. They were comical.

Good if you’re in therapy.

This book is good to read as a complement to psychotherapy with a trained psychologist.

Narrators: Please practice pronunciation of other languages

Revisado: 05-12-20

I didn’t expect a Spanish pronunciation as a native speaker, the narrator has a great voice and I recognize the effort of reading Spanish words better than other places, but i suggest more practice for Spanish pronunciation by listening to a native speaker or using a pronunciation guide. Many words where read as someone using English pronunciation rules rather than Spanish. So the issue is not accent, but rule pronunciation.

Note: the same applies to pronunciation in other languages.
Honest Disclaimer: I’m a native Spanish speaker who consumes English speaking media.

I felt immersed in the steppes

Revisado: 02-05-18

This adventure is filled very wonderfully with history and personal details in just the right amount.

It has its plot twist and the important characters (Tygon) for the psychological health of the author and, of course, for the reader.
