Rudimentary and superficial

Revisado: 01-05-25

Bought and listened to several of his books, hoping they would get better but they did not. A rehash of others ideas - don't bother.

A book for primary school teachers or primary grade level learning/teaching. Focused toward teachers more than self learners.

Revisado: 01-04-25

This book is focused primarily for k-6 or k-8. you can use it with older students - if they have very poor learning habits or you are a new or frustrated teacher - but be advised - it's a SLOG to get through. Personally - for teens or adult learners - I highly recommend BOTH "Make it Stick" for all adult, mature, or self teaching learners and "How we Learn" - for those that want to understand and extrapolate to their unique situations or personal struggles. How We Learn is a long slow start - but for those truly motivated the science presented really backs up the applications. I listened to all on Audible.

Biased to plant based

Revisado: 08-21-24

There are some amazing stories of cancer remission, however this book misses some key stories given its heavy biase toward plant based eating. The biase is not surprising for a vegan health writer, but surprising for a PHD. The reading and presentation are fine.

Skip this book & get Obesity Code by J. Fung MD

Revisado: 11-23-22

If you are new to fasting and eating for your health, this is an OK first book. If you have already been reading and learning - skip this book. this book sells their products - and makes the gross assumption that no one else writes or reads about this information. Better Money - Go to Jason Fung MD - he Gives away the knowledge, explains how, and has VERY SPECIFIC YouTube video's about how to make it work for you. IMF - Intermittent fasting - WORKS. this book, ~ was free w/ my audible account - skimmed it and moved on. The narration is - inauthentic.

1st - author wastes TONS of time getting to the point, then never Really gets to the point. Lots of anecdotes from around the world, lots of personal history, but no solid outline for the individual.

2nd - the meal plan is -ok. just ok. Better would be to provide a clear path: % of - proteins / fats (and types)/ carbs (types) and be specific. by body type/ ht/wt. Hours to eat, recommendations for altering for specific needs. Instead - you get a few (poor quality) recipes and the general idea.

interesting.

Revisado: 03-07-22

Interesting and important perspective. Not all new info , but collected and compared in a new way. A balance to the tiger mom thought process. The voice and cadence were good, enjoyable listen. A little repetitive at times if you frequent this genre.

can't get rid of it

Revisado: 02-13-22

It was a free read, I didn't care for it - now I can't delete it. Boring and aggravating.

Just don't. Get "Michel Thomas" instead.

Revisado: 08-05-21

A very poor remake of the classic by Michel Thomas. Dont waste your time. the concept is good - the delivery is painful. You will get the same from My Thomas and it's not as hard to listen to. In addition if you are serious about learning French - this book misses an opportunity to give basic and key Grammer guidance or explination. In some places - it's just wrong - I want my credit back.
