Historia
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Very detailed!
Revisado: 01-30-25
Overall, I really enjoyed this lesson. I was able to pull out significant historical events and put them into historical context. It was more detailed than I expected and took awhile to get through. The narration was good.

The life truths presented in beautiful prose.
Revisado: 12-20-23
If I could give the performance a 6, I would. It transported me to the streets of Bombay. The writing is beautiful, inspiring, and at times depressing…just like life. When I downloaded this 40+ hour behemoth, I was a bit overwhelmed, but I couldn’t stop listening to it! I miss the characters already!

Historia
Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

Very Interesting...Maybe Too Detailed
Revisado: 05-05-21
This book is fascinating and enchanting. I will likely buy in hard copy. As an audio book however, it is almost too detailed. The names, dates, and places are meticulously documented, but difficult to keep track of or follow in an audio format. The performance is commendable though and I enjoyed it.

Historia
"Who am I becoming?" That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So, he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life." It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was - and continues to be - the answer he needs. Within this audiobook, you’ll find a fascinating road map to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

I’m gonna try
Revisado: 01-24-20
I really enjoyed the listen. It’s definitely time to slow down. This book was pretty convicting in a really entertaining way. Should we move to Portland?
Anyway, I buy it. It’s going to be hard, but this isn’t resolution type stuff. Many of these recommendations SHOULD be pretty easy to implement. I’ll admit my phone is my alarm clock so I sleep next to it, but I’m on information detox for this weekend at least...well it’s a start.

Historia
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the final famous Stoic philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal journal, survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help and spiritual classics of all time. In How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, psychotherapist Donald Robertson weaves stories of Marcus’s life from the Roman histories together with explanations of Stoicism—its philosophy and its psychology—to enlighten today’s listeners. He discusses Stoic techniques for coping with everyday problems, from irrational fears and bad habits to anger, pain, and illness.

A must listen if you have questions about or are confused by The Meditations. It applies ancient Stoic philosophies to real concepts and modern Physco therapy treatments.

Difficult as an Audio book.
Revisado: 11-09-19
I think this book would have much more impact in written form. It was a hard listen. I found myself drifting off and not following it completely. There are amazing life lessons, but sometimes they are lost amidst the lost of names in audio form.

I wanted more about the stars
Revisado: 07-25-19
This book was a political statement more than a book about the specifics of the stars. I appreciated the history provided but was expecting more specifics on all the entities in the Cosmos than what was provided. Lavar Burton does a fantastic job as the reader!

I like this idea!
Revisado: 07-03-19
This is a great way to look at the importance of individuality and purpose. I enjoyed the ties with the Declaration of Independence and the pursuit of happiness. Control of populations is changing and governments need to implement a more individually tailored approach to match emerging media and knowledge emerging as part of the Information Age. The social contract discussed here is likely a good starting place.

Historia
Does religious experience come from God, or is it just the random firing of neurons in the brain? Drawing on brain research on Carmelite nuns that has attracted major media attention and provocative new research in near-death experiences, The Spiritual Brain proves that genuine, life-changing spiritual events can be documented. The authors make a convincing case for what many in science are loathe to consider: that it is God who creates our spiritual experiences, not the brain.

Disappointing
Revisado: 04-16-18
I was disappointed in this book overall. There are some great takeaways on the role of mind and self, but they get a little lost in the axe grinding against materialism. I thought there would be way more time dedicated to the authors study of RSME’s, but that is relegated to a small part of Chapter 9. I kept waiting for his science, unfortunately it didn’t satisfy.
