Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

This was such a captivating story, I could not put it down! The narrator did a phenomenal job too. One of my new favorite books, I'm recommending to everyone.

Dr. Trisha Raje is San Francisco’s most acclaimed neurosurgeon. But that’s not enough for the Rajes, her influential immigrant family who’s achieved power by making its own nonnegotiable rules: Never trust an outsider, never do anything to jeopardize your brother’s political aspirations, and never, ever, defy your family. Trisha is guilty of breaking all three rules. But now, she has a chance to redeem herself. So long as she doesn’t repeat old mistakes.

Great story, not so great reader
Revisado: 03-18-21
I loved the story, but the narrator tried way too hard to be dramatic & breathy. It felt like she was over doing it, like a dramatic movie announcer, even just on saying the chapter numbers, which took away from the listening experience

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

The Bird children have an idyllic childhood: a picture-book cottage in a country village, a warm, cosy kitchen filled with love and laughter, sun-drenched afternoons in a rambling garden. But one Easter weekend a tragedy strikes the Bird family that is so devastating it tears them apart. Many years later something will call them home, back to the house they grew up in - and to what really happened that Easter weekend all those years ago.

Beautiful novel
Revisado: 08-14-19
Poignantly sad, touching story. I was very moved by this story. A beautiful example of family secrets, family dynamics, emotions, and mental illness. I think because it's British and not American that all these elements end up being portrayed in a poetic way, rather than like a trashy Jerry Springer story. I couldn't put it down, and felt connected to each of the characters. I'll definitely use this book when I teach intergenerational family therapy, it will be perfect for it! The narrator was absolutely perfect, too!

Last summer, The New Yorker published chef Anthony Bourdain's shocking, "Don't Eat Before Reading This." Now, the author uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable audiobook, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike.

a day in the life
Revisado: 08-04-16
For anyone who's worked in restaurants, this book will resonate. I spent 13 years in the industry (as a "waitron" and bartender) before a career change (I'm a therapist now) and I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. Some of the stories in this book took me right back there as I remembered almost forgotten characters in the friends and Co workers he described, while other stories were radically and uniquely only the author's. I love Anthony Bourdain, even more so after reading this book. He speaks some deep truths and I appreciate his almost-jaded raw honesty, wit, spirit, and the rules/tips at the end.

Science writer David DiSalvo reveals a remarkable paradox: what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs. In fact, much of what makes our brains "happy" leads to errors, biases, and distortions, which make getting out of our own way extremely difficult. DiSalvo's search includes forays into evolutionary and social psychology, cognitive science, neurology, and even marketing and economics - as well as interviews with many of the top thinkers in psychology and neuroscience today.

What did you love best about What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite?
The content of the book is relevant, interesting, and captivating. I had to listen twice, though, because he reads it a bit too fast. Awesome book and so useful, reminding me of topics I haven't studied for awhile, and adding new info and support in a way that is accessible to those versed or new to psychology concepts. It would be a lot better if the reader slowed down so I didn't have to listen twice :-)
What was one of the most memorable moments of What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite?
Reviewing the concepts
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Read slower
