As a person with dyslexia, I just found this book affected me on a personal level. I loved that the author is the narrator because I don't think the stories would have had the same emotion behind. I have experienced similar struggles in the education system and could hear him reliving the pain as he told the story.

He talks about the current state of what is considered the norm and researched how the accepted criteria came to be. Hear how so many of today’s ideas are rooted in archaic and ethically wrong practices. It makes you wonder why no one has demanded change. But that’s the reality of deep roots. It’s a daunting challenge that a person alone could overcome.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been struggling with any kind of disability because it shows that it's not us who need to conform to the imaginary normal. But to show the world that there is no normal.

Truth in simple but not easy

Revisado: 06-03-18

Mel Robbins speaks directly to how we all feel when trying to move forward. This book feels like you are having a sit-down conversation with Mel not just listening to her read her book. Each section covers the typical mental blocks we all face. She uses hers and others experiences to show you how this simple rule can be applied to your own life.

Each section is clear and easy to refer back to if you need to review that particular challenge again. The change in audio quality can be a bit distracting, but this change happens rarely.

If you need a simple technique to apply in your life just to get things moving, this is the book for you.

Its simple but it's not easy.

Don't let the tittle fool you

Revisado: 05-16-17

I listened to this one a few times keying into different things depending on where I was in my day.
This isn't your normal self help book. I know that phrase is used a lot in this category but I feel it truly applies here.
Mark is blunt, he calls you out while throwing his own crap on the table. He really clarifies the vision of ones self with what your really willing to fight for.
I would recommend this book for anyone who worries that their simple desires for life are some how not good enough. Mark will help you see they aren't.

I also want to recognize Roger for his superb narrating. He brought the book to life, preventing you from falling into that listening hypnosis that some self help books can trap you in.

A grand adventure

Revisado: 10-18-16

Would you listen to A Natural History of Dragons again? Why?

It is a very easy listen which makes repeating it very easy.

What did you like best about this story?

I like how the dragons were inserted into the world without being outrageously fansaful.

What about Kate Reading’s performance did you like?

She did a very good job of portraying each characters personality.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Character deaths are always hard but this one moved me very much.

Any additional comments?

If you like the cover you should look up the artist he does wonderful work for the whole series.

Real life experiences

It was very interesting to hear the range of how people choose to act on their inspiration of the book. I think everyone could find a story to relate to.

Most in depth

Revisado: 02-10-16

This autobiography was really in depth and you can mentally see what pointe in history he is walking through as his story is told. The only thing is the narration is a bit monotone and so you can easily zone out when listening and miss some parts.

True to self

I lover her narrating it. Truly written how she thinks. Also speaks to the inner you with all her self talk. We all know we do it but she gave it voice.

Alway an uplifting listen

I always love Jon's natural reading and his action steps never feel like a drudgery 1 2 3... List you would get from a school text book.

Makes you think about all you do.

Revisado: 05-16-15

I found the examples in each chapter made the concept of habits and the different types very easy to understand.

It can be a slow listen so I suggest listening in chunks so you don't miss anything insightful.

Self Analysis Activating

Revisado: 05-04-15

What did you love best about The War of Art?

I liked how it wasn't a checklist of must does

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration tended to drone on a bit making it easy to zone out while listening.

Any additional comments?

I found the book very helpful but I suggest listening to it in chunks since it can all start to blur together if you listen for a long time.
