I fell like so much has been explained, and I learned so much about American thought in the 50's and 70's.

Would you consider the audio edition of Wall Street to be better than the print version?

This was one of the must educational and detailed accounts of anything I've experienced in a while. I really couldnt wait to find out what would happen in each chapter

What other book might you compare Wall Street to and why?

it's like an american history course

Which scene was your favorite?

the 1920s and 1930's

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

its far too long for that, don't overdo it.

Any additional comments?

strongly recommend, though it's actually quite technical. Learn the vocab to improve your read of it.

If you could sum up Illuminati Facts and Fiction Revealed in three words, what would they be?

Fair and Factual as much as can be expected. Equivalent to reading the Wikipedia page on the subject

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

it's not a soap box for some frightened christian nut

What disappointed you about The Discrete Power of the Illuminati Symbolism?

This book will suit you if you want paranoid Christian opinions what Satan worship involves. For example, the Illuminati teach their children telekinesis; or, the Illuminati created cancer AND AIDS. I was disappointed by the feeble mindedness of this book's ultra-conservative author.

Has The Discrete Power of the Illuminati Symbolism turned you off from other books in this genre?

I thought this would be better than it was, I did come across something more fairly written by another. I think I'm done now though, just read the Wikipedia page for the Illuminati and it's more than any of these books have on it.

What three words best describe Jim D. Johston’s performance?

odd sounding but rather good performance

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

this book is anti Illuminati. -_- ...if you were wondering

Any additional comments?

Wish I had that time back.

Very capable theory of life developed here.

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

Absolutely, if you're very interested in life origin that is. It was a slow boil with the last two chapters carrying the best content.

Which scene was your favorite?

I was constantly impressed to learn how much has been discovered about the replicating behavior of DNA.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The winding explanation of the difficult (to me) concept of dynamic stability which is responsible for the increasing complexity in living systems was gratifying and very substantive.

Any additional comments?

This book feels current and far ahead of any thing I had previously learned about the subject.

Single most significant book I have encountered

Revisado: 06-26-15

Would you listen to Moral Tribes again? Why?

This is a long containing a great deal of moral psychology, a second listen is certainly warranted if you wish to be able to discuss the concepts with others.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Moral Tribes?

The explanation of why no moral truths may be derived from logic or religion were crystal clear and easily recalled.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

I love the stories about the inhabitants of "the new pastures" a parable for comparing many of todays' moral views.

Any additional comments?

This was a very fascinating and relevant book containing: detailed science on how and why our morals are produced in our brains, well selected and interesting psychology experiments and data, and a very practical case for utilitarianism. A must read for any citizen of the world.

Massively edifying & a perspective rarely taken

Revisado: 06-19-15

Any additional comments?

The scope of the book was perfect, the dawn of intelligence to the modern day and beyond. Even familiar knowledge and stories take on an awesome weight when explained in the context of the history of our species. No part of the book felt uninteresting.

Relevant sampling of Stoicism for modern life

Revisado: 03-09-15

What did you love best about A Guide to the Good Life?

It is written purposefully and makes it clear how one might apply the information

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I enjoyed being educated about philosophy generally and this short book gives mainly core elements of context and history.

What about James Patrick Cronin’s performance did you like?

it was fine

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The death of Socrates perhaps...

Any additional comments?

Stoicism came somewhat naturally for me, but I think I may have enjoyed the book more if it had not. The hallmark of Stoic life is to be optimistic and happy with your imperfect situation, which to me is a personality trait and not something you can easily will yourself to be. Therefore, if you can easily apply this advice, you probably already do, and if you desperately need this advice, it may be very difficult to live.
