Insightful Read

Revisado: 12-04-20

So much may be said upon the topic that a discussion claiming neutrality on the grounds of academic balance, in my opinion, is problematic.

I think a solid attempt to cover many elements of Smith’s life was made with some success. Although, I question the idea of giving many of the topics and concepts raised equal veracity as in doing so appears to distort the experiences and life of Smith. (like looking at a mole on the face and giving a detailed examination when simply an indication that the mark on the face is simply a mole)

Interesting read... and in my opinion a commendable attempt.

Too Much Cursing!!!

Revisado: 12-04-20

Ideas are solid, but vulgar and filthy language detracted from the message. Such a shame. I could have gone all day without listening to such language.

An Outstanding Story Told by a Master

Revisado: 03-03-20

This is one of the very best stories I have ever heard. Koontz, a master wordsmith, creates an intriguing story through the use of exceptional characterization. Balancing between believable and incredible, he weaves a story that is both profound and touching. There are moments when one may think of this story as a sad story that pulls sympathetically at one’s heart strings, And if that was all it was, it would be a great story, but it is not all of that. It is NOT a story cheaply begging for sympathy. It is a remarkable work of writing.

Written with a Clear Agenda

Revisado: 02-27-20

Stone clearly crafts a story that is heavily biased. He attempts to ingratiate himself with the reader through arrogance of perceived authority. He side steps may of the most obvious contentions in his argument purporting that the justice system fails and is failing to support and defend the constitution. The system is broken. He argues against this point quite blind to the context required for a reasonable and balanced approach.

Overall, it was fun to mentally challenge his claims and affirmations, but misguided in terms of balance or conclusion.

Mistake

Not my kind of story... quite only a little way into the book. Did not enjoy.

Surprised and Impressed

Revisado: 12-07-19

While I was listening to the audio book, I kept thinking that in theory this all sounds fine, but does it actually work? I was at the gym trying to win the battle with my very large belly. I am not someone who would naturally attract people ... I am not charismatic in any way. To make a long story short. I thought I would test out what I was learning on the most attractive person in the gym - male or female didn't matter - my goal was to see if I could make a "friend."

I won't go through the details, but when I left the gym, I couldn't stop laughing ... it worked far too well. A person that would normally never communicate with me came over to me and we struck up a fast friendship of sorts. We're planning on catching up at the gym later in the week. I'm in total disbelief ... fascinating principles!

Limited View of Scientific Research

Revisado: 02-08-19

He uses an outdated positivist view to define scientific research. His view is too emotionally charged and clearly speaks from a heavy bias of a narrowly defined and limited perception of reality.

A Must for Everyone who has Experienced Conflict

Revisado: 01-23-19

In one word Outstanding!

For many years, I dealt with conflict and violence almost daily. I found that it takes a toll on a person. I now understand better why conflict and violence exact a toll on all involved, and also, how to mitigate that toll. Well worth the read.
