Extremely Incisive arguments for better sex

Revisado: 06-22-17

Wow. I'm going to need to listen to this one a few more times. Esther is a great speaker, thinker and doer in delicately dissecting the erotic. If nothing else this book will help you confront many of your dominate ideologies surrounding sex. It's opened my eyes wider to the vast constellation of possibilities and the specific responsibility we all have to divine what is is we really "want" and take actions to communicate and achieve this.

READ/LISTEN!!

Revisado: 01-11-17

I'm going to keep this short. This book is powerful and funny. I just finished it for the 1st time and I feel like listening again. In the last 3 days of listening to it the lessons in this book have solidified thoughts and advice from hundreds of other sources. I would advise this as a modern life necessity.

Oh and did I mention this is probably one of the funniest book I've ever read as well?

Get it. Read it. Hear it. Think about it. Apply it. Repeat.

World changing stuff: Measurement vs Possibility

Revisado: 05-06-16

This book is a wonder. It very old and important knowledge, way beyond the greater culture's current understandings of our world but at the same time intrinsically pulled from it. A lot of the concepts in the book are deceptively simple but the paths Ros and Ben take them on open up the complexity that is so often lost or ignored. The great task is to live their promise. It seems monumental but I'm primed to try.

Can't recommend this book more. It honestly made me cry at points.

So much good content - You.2.0

Revisado: 02-21-16

Where to start? This book is really brilliant. I'd never read any of browns previous work but this makes me want to pick up more of it. Explanations are clear, concise and hit close to home.

Highly recommended to anyone who wants to better themselves and how they interact in the world.

Brené's narration is fun as well. Gotta love the Texan drawl!

Great Story, Great Lessons, Great Narration

Revisado: 02-06-16

This is a great story and a great book. Told with a rare earnestness and conciseness. I took notes the whole way and can see myself referring back to them often. So many gems in here!

When an author can narrate their own work it's always special. It's the true and definitive translation of mind to matter--at least as far as we humans can communicate our thoughts. Derek has a unique voice, style and humour that's amplified by him telling the story himself.

I loved this book, as both a fellow musician, producer and as someone who want to start a business. As Derek puts it to being a utopian vision of how I want the world to be.

Highly recommend to any and everyone. It'll make you think and if you extrapolate some of the lessons it will challenge how you think about your own, world, life or business.

Useful Entry Level Lectures

Revisado: 10-07-15

Great course for an introduction to the current scientific consensus on self control and impulse control. Doesn't get too deep into the brain mechanics and offers a lot of relevant activities to improve your self control ability. Well paced and a great listen overall.

Fantastic set of essays and stories

Revisado: 06-10-15

Loved this book! It's a wonderful set of vignettes and viewpoints--some that hit with astonishing clarity. Can't say I agree with all the conclusions (his cynicism betrays his uniquely 'lived' life) but I love his logic and appreciate the reminder that another life's perspective brings into my own. Krieders narration does come off as a bit monotone but that lends to the vibe and when he does add emotion it emphasizes the intimacy of the book. There are a few lines in particular I couldn't have seen working in print alone. Highly recommended!
