Didn’t stop listening.. fascinating

Revisado: 02-20-19

I’m not big into finance or stocks. And recently I’ve been switching between audiobooks & podcasts. Well, not this time. After the first 5 minuets I was hooked. The narrators delivery is on point too.

Genius

Revisado: 05-07-15

I'm a hardcore introvert, heard about this book & thought I'm gonna listen to the first 5mins if it bores me I'm out.
Heck i was hooked & couldn't wait for Oren's next story, next insight.
It made me understand a social dynamic I've been a victim to for years (yeah, like most introverts).

A new way to parenting, focused and simple

Revisado: 04-28-12

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

I was hesitant to get this title at first, didn't know what to expect. I'm so glad I got it. It's a big departure from the normal parenting guides.

It starts out the the author's story, how she went from US to France. At first I thought it wasn't relevant... ok at times there's some filler stuff that isn't related to parenting. But when she gets to the parenting stuff it's eye-opening.
It seems simple on the outset. Instead of going through a list of 10 or 20 things to do, the author picks up a handful of very helpful, yet essential parenting techniques and focuses on why they work... why the french believe in them so much, and at times brings up stats and research to support such claims.
I picked up 2 major tips and agreed with my wife to start to apply them with our 9-month old son. Actually, I wish I got this book earlier cuz it seems to answer things I doubted when my kid was like 3 or 4 months old.
I'm halfway through the program and can't wait to finish it.

Eye opening to introverts who feel out-of-place

Revisado: 04-28-12

Would you listen to Quiet again? Why?

Yes, from the very first opening lines it got me. As an introvert I always felt out-of-place, especially at the new corporate world where louder folks seem to move up faster. This gave me an insight and a better understanding of myself... heck, I'm not the only one.

Plus, it relates it to culture and what things introverts tend to be better suited for. The best part is collecting a few tips to help deal with things in a loud office, I'm still trying to implement these.
All in all, it gave me a new confidence knowing there's nothing wrong with me and how I need to shift my habits rather than trying to change everything about it to fit into the extrovert ideal.

Great 'Raising A Smart Child' Guide...

Revisado: 02-12-12

Which character – as performed by John Medina – was your favorite?

I liked how it seems like each chapter starts with a promise, presents the big picture... then goes into the details (supporting claims by studies & real-life examples).. then ends by summarizing the key concepts of that chapter.
It has plenty of tips on raising a smart kid. Recommended for new parents.
