Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in. With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately....

Untuck this recording quality

Good book, poor audio quality
Revisado: 08-07-21
Harper has helpful, useful, and interesting things to say about “unf*cking” your brain. A very useful little book! The audio quality is not amazing here, and the editing of the recording left a lot to be desired. I’m glad I got the book free through Audible Plus.

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.

Excellent for those disappointed with evangelicals
Revisado: 06-07-21
Kristin Kobes du Mez tracks the themes of toxic masculinity and abusive patriarchal power in evangelicalism from the 1960s to the present, tracing the modern development of these themes through the philosophies of prominent Christian writers and influencers. The damage done by this movement culminates, in du Mez’s book, with the rise of D****d T***p and the abuse brought to light in the #MeToo movement.
This book will definitely appeal to those disaffected with white evangelicalism. I would like to see this book serve as a call to repentance for white evangelicals, but due to my own experiences, I do not have sufficient faith in their willingness to take an honest look in this mirror.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Compelling storytelling, beautiful performance
Revisado: 12-15-16
Trevor Noah tells stories from his childhood in an engaging and compelling form. The book itself would be a great read, but the audiobook performance provides additional layers as Noah "does the voices"--he narrates in a multiplicity of different South African accents and speaks in and translates from multiple languages, throughout the book.

Monday or Tuesday is a captivating introduction to Virginia Woolf, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. These eight tales by the author of Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse reveal her early experiments in the art of fiction. The stories convey tantalizing glimpses of uncommon yet everyday characters.

Clarity and abstraction
Revisado: 05-16-15
Elizabeth Klett presents a beautiful rendering of Virginia Woolf's collection of short stories. The stories themselves are curious and occasionally abstract as Woolf brings to light the difficulties and paradoxes of the lives of women in early 20th century society.
Klett's reading is clear and expressive, but not overdramatic as her voice is able to capture the subtleties and ironies of Woolf's often challenging writing. She renders Woolf's abstract prose accessible to the average listener and captures the sheer beauty of Woolf's writing.
