If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest.

An important book that culls all the reasons not to be cynical
Revisado: 10-13-21
I have always had the conviction that human beings are deeply inclined to be kind, if parochial. This books offers rich examples for believing in human kindness and eschewing cynicism.

There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. But what if the goal wasn't so mysterious and was actually achievable for anyone who wants to experience more magic and creativity in their life? That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after listening to Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit.

Got! Me! Writing! Perfect advice, storytelling, inspiration
Revisado: 02-03-21
Proof is in the pudding: I’ve written a half dozen songs while listening to this book over the past couple of weeks. I’ve never been this productive before. This Grammy-winning artist is far more helpful, far humbler, far more sincere than most of the less-accomplished songwriting mavens I have found. Dozens of versatile ideas to motivate you and your different moods in your different capabilities in a different outlooks.

Interesting account made unintelligible
Revisado: 01-30-21
This brief account of the characters of Toussaint L’Ouverture and Jacques Dessalines is an interesting if sometimes simplistic telling of these important stories. Yet this fails as an audiobook as the narrator is incapable of pronouncing a single proper noun that appears in the book. An American narrator has a choice of choosing between pronouncing the French names as they would be pronounced in English [po:rt o: prins; TU Sawnt duh LOO ver toor] or sticking to the French. This narrator uses a bizarre form that is both inconsistent and unintelligible in every instance.
