Loved it.

I picked this up and had no idea what to expect and I’m eager to listen a second time. It’s inspiring and reminds me that curiosity is a muscle we can strengthen and it is also a choice. It can change everything.

Excellent. And frighteningly timely.

Revisado: 09-07-20

How did I not learn any of this in all my years in school? This fascinating and horrifying story is all the more captivating because it is true. And we seem not to have learned.

As a non-medical reader, I agree there is a bit of wading through technicalities and I also agree with some of the other reviewers that some of the bios are longer than necessary. But I highly recommend the book. I listen at 1.5 speed.

I listened to this book and realized immediately I would need to buy a hard copy as well. So many AHA moments!

This is her best book yet, giving insight and advice that will be applicable immediately both at work and home.

I love that the author reads it, making me feel like we are sitting down having coffee or wine and I get to learn straight from Brene.

Where does Ego Is the Enemy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the few books I will listen to again. So many ideas and tales I need to hear.

What other book might you compare Ego Is the Enemy to and why?

This collection of historical vignettes and personal insights, combined with amazing quotes made it unlike other books I've listened to lately.

What about Ryan Holiday’s performance did you like?

This topic hits close to home with Ryan and I appreciated his candor and style. His performance is less of a performance, really. It's him reading his book in a very personal and meaningful way.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Ego is the enemy. Sweep daily.

Any additional comments?

Worth the listen! I have shared it with several friends and both my college-aged children.

Where does Fahrenheit 451 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best I've listened to EVER, this version of Fahrenheit 451 captured me from the first line. Tim Robbins is amazing and tells this story beautifully.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fahrenheit 451?

Guy came to life through this presentation.

Have you listened to any of Tim Robbins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first of his I've heard and now am on the search to add the rest to my collection.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

His reading made me laugh and cry--Bradbury's foresight and Robbins' ability to portray so many emotions were one of favorite parts of the experience.

Paring Down...

Revisado: 06-08-14

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

I selected this book because it came up as a suggestion and LOVED it. Having the author read it made it especially enjoyable, as his passion for the topic of distilling life to the very best part comes through in his advice, his stories, his applicable tips. As I drive from client to client, appointment to appointment and commitment to commitment, this books struck a chord. I have suggested it to at least 10 people and suggest it to YOU as well.

What did you learn from Essentialism that you would use in your daily life?

If something isn't "hell yes" then it's a "no."

This book is definitely a "hell yes." Read it.

Grisham Delivers Again

Revisado: 04-22-12

Would you listen to The Litigators again? Why?

I rarely reread (or relisten) but I would listen to this again. The characters are funny and the story held my attention. This is a great vacation read.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I read Grisham to relax--and be entertained. His writing is somewhat predictable, but I like his style.

Which character – as performed by Dennis Boutsikaris – was your favorite?

Finley and Figg were both hilarious in their own ways.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Have you heard the one about the ambulance chasing lawyer?
