Another action packed adventure!

Revisado: 02-08-23

I’ve now listened to the first 4 books of the series. Jeremy Robinson does a masterful job of painting a vivid picture of a world in which all kinds of crazy creatures exist. His creative writing style combined with the great presentation by the narrator result in a exciting tale full of adventure!

Helpful & Thought Provoking

Revisado: 12-27-22

Brené Brown does an adequate job narrating her own book. I believe there is plenty of great information in this book, although different sections may be more pertinent than others at any given time depending on where you are in life and what you’re dealing with at the current moment. For me the sections on the shame men can experience as when as how to deal with some of these tough topics with your children were the most intriguing.

Has Potential...

Revisado: 10-14-19

The actual story itself is fairly good and interesting. I did appreciate the investigatory elements and work that the creators put into this project. However, my one complaint would be, the story could have been told in a different perhaps more engaging fashion. There were definitely moments that we intriguing and others that were tedious and hard to get through. In the end though, I would definitely be curious if definitive proof on this case were to surface, regardless of which direction it swung the case.

Who Knew there was so much to learn about sleep?

Revisado: 07-12-19

When I began this course I was curious how the professor could fill 12 hours on sleeping alone. However, it was quickly apparent that there was so much about sleep that I didn’t know. To top it off, we as humans still know very little about sleep. So I guess I’ll look forward to another set of lectures on sleep in the future. Sleep is one of the most important thing any human should understand. I’d definitely recommend that everyone should take this course.

Amazing, thought provoking, eye opening...

Revisado: 08-31-18

I have listened to several of the great courses now and though they’ve all been “great”, pun intended, this is probably my favorite so far. It touches on so many interesting topics through out history that I found myself immersed, fascinated and wanting to research and learn more about many of these topics on my own!

Mind Altering Adventure

Revisado: 07-27-18

The plot of this book is amazing. I love the world the author builds and the way he weaves through the story. I enjoyed how imaginative the tale is. If I have one complaint it would be that it can seem very slow at times. Though, this may be done intentionally to build the characters so I can’t fault Wilson too much. Excited to start the 2nd book in the saga.

A little something for everyone...

Revisado: 06-20-18

This book is full of great tips to utilize when trying to talk to others. The key is to not get over whelmed with all 92 tricks. Instead, in you can bring yourself to focus on a few or even just one at a time, I feel that you will find them to be more useful. Also, finding a way not to force them but to use them in an organic matter is also important. All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to find a few subtle changes they could make in their lives to be more personable and successful in their relationships.

Incredibly well presented...

Revisado: 05-11-18

This course was chalk full of great information and ideas, many of which I will recall and use in my future endeavors. However, as good as the material was, the presentation and flow that Professor Jonah Berger was able to teach with was amazing. I’ve struggled at times to listen to and capture information from other Great Courses. This course was easy to listen to and follow and therefore, I feel I took more out of it than usual.

Good Advice...

Revisado: 03-29-18

This was a solid lesson in managing personal finances. I have worked in the financial industry of almost 20 years so much of the subject matter was not new to me. With that said, I did still learn a few new ideas and concepts that may prove to be useful in the future. For example I really liked the professors “life cycle” concept which get one to think about using the money they have or have access to in ways to evenly distribute spending through a life time. This way you don’t have periods of feast and periods of famine when it comes to spending. All in all I would recommend this course to anyone, especially if they don’t have a background in finance.

Did not see where "14" was going...

Revisado: 09-06-17

After reading the description and some of the reviews this book seemed intriguing, however, the direction and twists and turns the story takes were pleasantly unexpected. I don't necessarily love the way the author took the plot at times, but I can't say I wasn't surprised and constantly entertained. One point I wished there was more of was a more thorough explanation of the details of why the story line goes in the direction it does. Overall this is a good fun book.
