Remarkably Beautiful Prose

Revisado: 04-19-23

This was a very enjoyable listen, it pulled on heartstrings throughout and the reveal halfway through of what we're about to converge on keeps the tension going until the end.

Beautiful and and amazing debut novel!

Home Run for Long Term Finances

Revisado: 02-19-23

What I love most about this book is how long term and forward thinking it is in a personal finance landscape that focuses on shame and blame. Scarlett gives specific scripts to re-write your brain from all of the negative, doom and gloom ideas about personal finance without becoming a prosperity gospelite or out of touch with the realities of life.

The only times I find myself distracted from the core message was thinking about people who might find the advice out of reach for them - individuals who perform demanding, necessary jobs with low pay (teaching, retail, CNAs, etc.) I'm not sure how people with demanding jobs that don't pay the same high income people aspire to can achieve the well intentioned and thoughtful advice, though it's out of scope for this book to answer that kind of question.

I think this is stellar if you're a professional or medium to high income household looking for ways to balance your short term happiness with long term savings.

Life Changing Book

Revisado: 01-08-23

What's the opposite of hollow, toxic positivity? This book. The empathy backed up by science Dr. Emily recommends is anything but the shallow sex obsession we have that just barely scratched the surface of real, true deeply romantic sexuality Emily discusses. Her stories and explanations of anatomy and mechanics that explain situations experiences that were difficult to understand and impossible to explain to a partner are easy to remember and useful tools to embrace on any sex positive journey.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Depressing and Sometimes Hopeful

Revisado: 07-10-22

I enjoyed the content but the cuts of the audio were very distracting.

This is a distinctly progressive book that seeks to equip liberal/progressive/Democrats with how to take meaningful action, but at times can leave you feel more like this is cathartic than teaching because the honest answer to a lot of things were mostly fucked for a while and it sucks.

Good evidence based information on parenting/birth

Revisado: 01-30-20

This book is a tough critique on some of the worst parts of the natural parenting and childbirth movement. while average people may not have exposure to some of these scarier ideas, this book lays out the worst parts of the movements leaders and why their actually less safe and less feminist than other alternatives available to birthing parents and their partners.

Good honest book about parent - quite critical

Revisado: 05-22-17

We really enjoyed listening to this book as our first parenting book, first time pregnant.

The stories and experiences of these moms were great to hear, but you can skip the chapter on baby pictures. I thought it was really narrow minded and unkind, and I personally love seeing all little babies on Facebook and elsewhere.

Otherwise, the reading performance was great, not robotic like some of the other parenting book samples we listened to before picking this one.
