Compelling listening
Revisado: 09-03-24
The only drawback from this book is the authors comments at the end which would have been better at the beginning from my perspective.
However, the information provided is very well written and the details presented by the reader in an engaging and clear manner

Historia
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Informative
Revisado: 08-15-23
I found some parts repetitive which in some areas was helpful but others were just repetitive.
The narrator does an excellent job of putting across the various advantages and disadvantages of certain training types in ways that are very helpful and kept my attention.
There are some parts of the book that would be better to read and see diagrams or drawings. But overall I found it a good book to listen to and go off to assess some of the practices.

First three books are good. That’s it
Revisado: 08-09-23
The first three books I have read before and listening to them kept me enthralled. But the last two books, I listened to 2 hours of book four and then about 30 minutes of book five. I am so glad I didn’t spend the last 30 plus hours on those two books
Not impressed

The book is laid out in a way that is easy to follow, even if some of the names are less easy to remember.
The details are very interesting and the way they are linked to life and history is very thought provoking.
A wonderful book
I will listen again

Stephen Fry makes great even greater
Revisado: 07-15-23
I have always enjoyed Sherlock Holmes and the opportunity to listen to the stories whilst driving and walking was not to be missed.
However, when I found there was a copy of all the works which Stephen Fry narrated I was certain this was the version I should take.
I was not disappointed!
An excellent, enthralling and exquisitely narrated experience was well beyond my expectations and I will enjoy listening to it again and again.
Beyond doubt worth the time to listen and enjoy

Needs a re-listen
Revisado: 05-25-23
The book is. Wry informative and no doubt if I were to read it rather than listen to it, then this would be a 5 star review
However, because I will need to re-listen to it at least once more, then it is a 4 star review.
The information is important to think about and imagine, which without an accompanying PDF makes it even more important to keep listening over and over.

Interesting

The book may be better in print with the ability to note, review spellings and names.
Some of the details I replayed to understand them better as the reading goes quite quickly over some of the names
But it is definitely a must for anyone interested in Japanese folklore and culture

The future will be better than you think. Thriving shows how innovation can regenerate nature, society, and the economy by taking us from degradation to restoration of ecosystems, from depletion to renewal of resources, from disparity to responsibility in communities, from disease to revitalization of health, from disconnection to rewiring through technology, and from disruption to resilience of infrastructure and institutions.

Revisado: 04-28-23
Some of the usual support for activists who have no clue how change should be made.
But that is a very small part of a book that provides so many examples and explanations from so many places and people.
Forget for a moment if you agree or disagree with climate change. This book challenges everyone to do something that will return the human, planet balance that will allow both to thrive and enjoy doing it
Definitely worth the time
I will be listening to it a few more times as a handy reminder
