Wonderful Performance!

To have been written in the late 1940's is amazing! Enjoyed the book even more with the excellent narration.

Ok story. Good message about compassion in healthcare.

Revisado: 12-11-22

A lot of soul searching by a surgeon. Not a lot of humility but he seems to be at least trying.

Helpful compilation of ideas.

Revisado: 07-28-22

Although the information is 35 years old, it was helpful to my understanding modern human sexual relationships. The book is a barrage of ideas and concepts and by the time I was done I thought “well there are a lot of possibilities and we are definitely not all the same.” Anyone struggling with or without sex likely will find the information useful.

One simple non-scientific spin on a complex issue.

Revisado: 01-21-19

Just like other pseudo science writing you should do some serious fact checking here. The message seems to be that the only drug war began in the US in the early 1900 century because of a single man. The author paints a wholy one sided view that the problem is not the drugs but the illegality and enforcement of the drug laws. Lessons can be had by examining the much broader geopolitical, economic and biology of those drugs that are legal now. It apparently has gone well for big tobacco, big alcohol and the rising tide of big cannabis. Why must we embrace the legality and marketing of known harmful agents? Take a look around and see who is pulling the strings.

White, upper middle class, American, college women and sex.

Revisado: 03-24-18

To me, this book offered a perspective of a subset of women who have been sold a particular narrative. There were insights offered that did add to my already confused male brain. The poorly defined “abuse” between the sexes was a central, although not overtly acknowledged theme of this book. The group this book addresses has access to unlimited calories, sedentary lifestyles, entitlement general safety and get a blue ribbon for showing up. I would imagine that Dr. Nagoski could add an interesting contrast between the group of women she wrote about and the far larger group of women and men who, because of their culture, cannot begin to grasp these ideas. I look forward to that sequel!

The politics of Roger Rabbit!

Revisado: 10-08-17

This is an amazing and timely synthesis of many ongoing and competing forces at work in my culture. It has truly given me a tool by which I can analyze not only my feelings of current events but it also gives me hope that we can survive this wave of illusion and disinformation. If our young are to take what we have given them and make it better for their future generations, then understanding the perils of fantasyland is critical. Wow, what a performance by the author of a world changing dark force!

Could not stop listening. Excellent!

Revisado: 02-14-17

This amazing treaties on human relationships, sex and sexuality explores often contemplated concepts that are difficult to reconcile. The book helped me acknowledge and better understand my own sexuality and wants. Esther Perel adds her wonderful voice to the subject which imparts a multicultural dimension. Listened twice!

Interesting melding of meditation and religion

Revisado: 05-05-16

Not a lot of new concepts. Draws you in then holds out religion as his reason to explain it all.

A must listen for anyone in the pain business or addictions treatment.

Revisado: 04-30-16

As an anesthesiologist and in the business of treating pain for the past 35 years I can highly recommend this book. The performance by Mr. Perkins is excellent and adds depth to the multiple times and cultures that play on the history of pain. I would argue with only a very few of the recent facts but that likely reflects only on my understanding. An incredible book and very enjoyable. Couldn't stop listening!
