Just what I hoped for

Revisado: 06-05-23

This is a very good book that provides thoughtful explanations giving insight into why Green takes various positions. From free will to free choice and other topics, Green breaks down what the general scientific consensus is versus his own ideas about how conventional wisdom and science come together in an elegant, descriptive way. Loved it.

Interesting but took a long time to get answers and focused on religion

Revisado: 04-11-23

The reading was not good. It was just reading and did not feel like it could have been a person talking to me as part of a conversation. But the comparisons and similes between business and personal life were interesting. It would have been good to have an agnostic view rather than use religion as a guiding force of morality. People who are not religious can still be moral. But the religion wasn’t too heavy or harping. I did listen to the end and I was glad to be given some example metrics that started me on creating a list of metrics suitable for me and my choices. It’s worth reading or listening to, but be aware that it may have some long and drawn out parts.

Worth the purchase 100%

Honestly I liked Becoming even better but I’m not disappointed in They Light We Carry at all. I’ll likely listen to it again every couple of years. Worth every penny.

Great reference book

Revisado: 03-12-23

This is a thorough and detailed account of how humans developed across the globe and why we are all different. It tracks every angle possible for the advantages and disadvantages of geographic regions, varying climates, farming abilities and so much more answering with solid evidence why some races of people developed at varying speeds of thousands of years and places into perspective what it means to be civilized versus barbaric. The author explains the difference between evolution and domestication. This is a book every racist should read. Sadly, the book is dense and, though well-written and thought out, not written in a format that is palatable for people who refuse to believe we are all truly equal just diverse. The info in this book would make an excellent high school and college curriculum that should be required for all high school seniors and college freshmen.

Man hating story with not enough magic

Revisado: 03-11-23

I listened to the whole thing but struggled to do so. I’m this story, all men are horrible monsters who can’t be trusted. It’s cool that the story is about older women who find they are capable of magic, but they use their powers against men… men who are horrible, but the whole story is men against women. Many of the characters are one dimensional. Many parts become predictable by the middle of the book. Use of language is good, just lacks the type of character development I like and has a flat plot.

Overall, great story

Revisado: 12-16-22

For the audio version of this book, Manning should have been coached to record over a longer period of time and with more feeling than was encouraged as her reading progressed. Compare chapter one’s silky smooth voice to the last chapter’s scratchy and strained efforts leaves the ending of the as tired as her voice. Voice work is not easy and she managed to get through it, but the quality of the audio suffered for a lack of proper coaching from the production team. The story is an important one and well told. Worth the read/listen.

Everything about this book is great! I love you voices for the characters in the audio version, I love the plot and wholesomeness of the main character, I love the explanation of the science that’s going on in the story, I love the creativity of a non-humanoid alien and his home planet, and the ending was perfect. I recommend this book for all ages

I’ll likely listen to the audible version many times. Great information, love the description of Titan and other planets/moons.

Nye does not disappoint.

Revisado: 12-16-16

Nye makes evolution make sense. Fundamentalists are sure to love arguing with this book, but truth is what it is no matter what you believe. Thought provoking on how we will continue to evolve due to natural environment, medical technology, and more. Changed my mind on GMOs and more. Loved it!

NDT: terrific speaker, great content.

Revisado: 12-16-16

This lecture had me laughing and kept me in awe. I'm sure to listen to it repeatedly. Love me some NDT. But don't tell him that. His ego is big enough. 😳
