Acting in anger is bad, but anger itself is not. It's a communication, like pain: you get angry only when something's wrong. With lots of client stories, this book shows you how anger tries to protect you, and how you can honor its messages. When you improve your relationship with anger, you take better care of yourself, and then - you're no longer angry.

This was a refreshing and informative view of anger and how it can be used as a guide in our lives.

For 60 years Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the federal district of Sitka, a temporary safe haven created in the wake of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But now the district is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end.

Fantastic Story
Revisado: 08-16-17
Would you listen to The Yiddish Policemen's Union again? Why?
Yes.
What other book might you compare The Yiddish Policemen's Union to and why?
A hard boiled detective novel like Dashiel Hammet or Raymond Chandler
What does Peter Riegert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Fantastic voices. Peter's performance made the story extra special.
Any additional comments?
I'm a fan of Michael Chabon in general and this story might be my favorite so far. It's an old fashioned noir-type mystery set in the unlikeliest of places...Sitka, Alaska. Peter Riegert's narration compliments Chabon's attention to detail with the characters he creates. It's a fantastic listen.

Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate. So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air? Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations? What will people think if I fail or give up? When can I stop proving myself?

Meh. Nothing really new here.

Would you ever listen to anything by Brené Brown again?
Probably not.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narration was fine. The content was the problem.
Any additional comments?
I was hoping for more substance here but realized Ms. Brown is a researcher and not a psychologist. She tells stories from her life, which makes her a likeable person but I found this book dull, repetitive and it seemed to rehash themes from her other books. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I was looking for more psychology and less fluff.
