Historia
The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

Top of the Don't buy list

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
How do you follow some one reading math fast. Not even worth the $5. the examples are interesting, but available everywhere for free. I bought the Kindle book for $3 just to be able to follow the narration and its still too fast.The author is just throwing something together to make a fast buck. I don't trust him to produce usable content and will never buy him again.
What could Duo Code have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Audio requires you to explain the examples with prose to give the listener time to digest.Your book is just a fast chance to make a buck and you got it from me, but now I will NEVER read anything by you again.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
take a breath
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Probability?
take it off the shelves
Any additional comments?
Audible needs to vet offerings for content, not everything has value in audio and there's an expanding amount of garbage in their system. Since I can't return something I've listened to and I can't judge something for overall content on a one minute sample, its very much buyer beware, but the only option for the customer is to not buy anything. I was in a hurry and made the purchase on my phone and mistakenly used a credit to buy a $5 audio book that isn't worth $5 and is free to read on Kindle.

if you love science and history and it's characters you should love this. There have been criticisms over plot, but it's so well constructed, why would you care?

Historia
Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Historia
This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking listeners to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion - in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy.

Historia
The cells in our bodies consist of molecules, made up of the same carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms found in air and rocks. But molecules, such as water and sugar, are not alive. So how do our cells - assemblies of otherwise "dead" molecules - come to life, and together constitute a living being? In Life’s Ratchet, physicist Peter M. Hoffmann locates the answer to this age-old question at the nanoscale.

Historia
In this classic, the world’s expert on language and mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution. The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association....
