Defies categories, and cracks across them.

Revisado: 04-20-25

Ahead of its time, speculating on what quantum science suggests about the nature of reality. A story that is, not one that tries to be.

A smarter way to reduce crime, violence, and homelessness.

Revisado: 12-01-24

This is a great 20 minute summary of how to break out of the institutionalization and stereotyping of men in particular who are caught up in the cycle of crime, drugs, and homelessness. Everyone who wants to get to the root cause should listen to this interview with Rob Munger.

Great writing and narrating

Revisado: 08-13-24

I listened twice. The first time, tried to listen while I was doing other things, the way I can with some books. This book didn’t work that way. I was frustrated. Could not keep track of details, and understand the implications of the complex, but beautiful way ideas and emotions are expressed. So I listened again More carefully, without interruptions. It’s a good investment. The characters come alive, the narrator has great breadth, and the story insinuates itself into you.

Great lesson in spare yet full writing

Revisado: 07-05-24

Characters fully developed without excess detail, some mystery left to figure out. Just enough pieces to keep us. The music between dialog is a nice tough.

Binge-worthy. Every worried citizen needs to hear this story.

Revisado: 07-04-24

Every American red and blue needs to hear this powerful primer on the political power broker industry, the narrative-spinners that keep the silenced majority divided and the monied in power, and the infection of the media industry by a business model that profits by dividing Americans in fear, anger and hate. Elwood was caught up deeply in it, and while he’s no model of virtue, he is an honest insider who names names, and he represents thousands who continue to exploit the system, some with and some without remorse.

WATCH OUT, HUSBANDS

Revisado: 12-25-23

Has everything I could hope for, but only in a book of fiction - brutal graphic violence against men, and women too, by a surprising protagonist.

ILLUMINATING

Revisado: 05-05-23

I feel like I finally understand the roots of this odd movement to impose a theory on society and then force reality to sacrifice itself to the simplistic theory. Makes me a better advocate of rational alternatives that respect lived experience without enshrining it as Truth.

Illuminating

Revisado: 02-05-23

Makes clear what’s gone astray in modern relationships between the masculine and feminine. Should use a new book for newer times. The performance needs improvement - reader seems detached from the message and often mispronounces or misemphasizes points.

Great read, satisfying, but the male voices

Revisado: 12-25-22

Circuitous, rebellious, complicated, misleading, and satisfying - a great read. Only minor prob was all the men sounded the same - like dullard dolts. But maybe we had it coming.

FINALLY A CLEAR EXPLANATION

Revisado: 07-26-21

Karen Petrou has the qualifications and, frankly, courage to finally make clear why it is that, in the midst of a devastation global pandemic, financial markets would be “recovering” and the economy would appear to be improving. This book feels like a warning to be heeded. Our financial system is far from sustainable. If we wait too long to take prescriptions like those she proposes, we’ll be leaving a huge mess to our children - and maybe ourselves.
