A little dry

Revisado: 05-19-24

Great history to understand how the Tudors got into power and a bit of how Cromwell got as far as he did.

Good introduction to criminology

Revisado: 12-24-23

It refers to Roschach tests with few specifics. Much of the forensic work discussed would be considered sham science in a modern court of law.
There is much discussion of the psychopathology of Dr Kellywithout as much discussion of the difficulty of professionals. Sometimes the cobbler needs a pair of shoes that he can’t make for himself.

Excellent Read

Revisado: 09-19-23

This guy managed to be involved in pretty much every disaster and triumph of the past 50 years. He offers very good insights and opinions, not all that are agréable.
He comments on leaders current and past.
There is a certain amount of well earned braggadocio. Enjoy

You need a map

I hope to see this area in Christmas 2022. I wish I had listened to it with a map open

Great story but…

Revisado: 05-12-22

The attempt to copy accents or women’s voices was irritating. Boris and Natasha from Squirrel and Moose interfered with the story.
The story is incredibly important in exposing corruption in business and politics. It could have been better. The allusion of men reporting abuse was dropped and deserved more “fleshing out.”

Needs PDF attachments

This is very good story that is much harder to understand since the reader doesn't have the maps and illustrations of the original book. This ought to be corrected.

Very challenging story

Revisado: 10-08-16

The author weaves three stories of creativity, psychosis and psychopathy together. The background story of the Chicago Worlds Fair is fascinating on its own. The psychotic man is a caution about the lack of treatment today. The psychopath /serial killer is well described, although with significant embellishment that will disgust/horrify many.

Perhaps I've been around too long

Revisado: 08-13-13

Back in early 70's, I was involved with NOW (National Organization for Women) and a wonderful girlfriend. South Carolina wasn't exactly the hotbed of FemLib. Our chatter about the need for advancing women was no different from Ms Sandberg. We felt it earnestly and believed we were breaking new ground.

So does Ms Sandberg.

40 years later, all this earnestness seems trite and simplistic.

Essential reading for physicians and therapists

Revisado: 03-14-13

This book uses a structured approach to interview and listening that should be in any physician's toolkit. As a psychiatrist, I often have to assess for risk of self harm or assault. As noted early in the book, the most important first step is a willingness to doubt the truthfulness of your subject. People contemplating self harm and assault are often deceptive about their symptoms and plans. People malingering self harm and assault are also deceptive.

Hence, this book can help train the interviewer to listen and observe clusters of symptoms consistent with lying and deception. In many ways, I think this book is an improvement over Roger's Clinical Assessment of Malingering and Deception with brevity and good use of examples.

Another review criticizes the references to 2 tables. This reference to the tables is not vital at all. The references are clear and concise.

I found this book very accessible at 1.5 to 2.0 X, but suggest reading/listening to it twice.

A terrific release for the overwhelmed parent

Revisado: 10-25-11

This book will ring true for pretty much every parent who has been subjected to a cranky tired child who has been into the Halloween candy. This is a good way to process the frustration of sleep deprivation that follows the blessed arrival of a child into a home. This is NOT the story to read to that cherub, not matter how annoying he/she is.

It is great fun to play this for other parents.
