Amazing person, amazing book!

Revisado: 04-01-24

Isabel Brown is my Gen Z political hero, even more so after listening to this book than before. Thank you for inspiring a new generation with the truth. Above all, to win the war for America and freedom around the world, we need more truth tellers, regardless of politics, parentage or religion. Wow. Read this book!!!

Actors are enjoyable to listen to, good story, but way too much strong language.

Revisado: 01-26-22

I like the back and forth chemistry of the main actors, the story is original, and overall well written, but I have a hard time recommending a book with so much strong language. It really doesn’t add anything and multiple times I almost just quit listening. Not everyone talks like this or appreciates being subjected to more than 100 F words, among others, in a few hour production. Otherwise well done!

A Very Christian Book

Revisado: 12-23-15

Another review calls this a masterpiece of science, and yet the author clearly intended it to be a parable of religion, not unlike C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.

As a Mormon, this book reminds me a great deal of the experiences of the American prophet Joseph Smith, but could just as well relate to Paul the Apostle or to Moses.

A beautiful book that somehow ties all faith and the limits of science and perception together in a graceful knot or bow.

Basic Marketing for Artists

Revisado: 04-17-15

The first half of this book was useful and worth the cost of the audiobook.

The second was mostly about setting up permission email and websites, which one can learn anywhere.

Part of this book is about what the author does to market his art and what kind of software and hardware he uses to track this and that. I'd personally prefer to read a compilation or study of what several of the most successful and business creative artists do.

Compare Brainard Carey's excellent books and audiobooks for artists, including New Markets for Artists, available on Audible. I also enjoy the story of Olivia Bennett in Mark Victor Hansen's The Richest Kids in America.

Top Five Business Book for CEO's

Revisado: 12-31-13

Would you consider the audio edition of Winners Never Cheat to be better than the print version?

Strongly recommend both print and audio. This is not a book you read only once or that you keep to yourself.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jon M. Huntsman is a corporate hero. If all CEO's were like Jon, no one could ever criticize capitalism.

What does Stow Lovejoy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Stow speaks from the heart, reflecting Jon well.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

"A handshake should always be as binding as a signed legal document." ~ Jon Huntsman

Any additional comments?

Read this book! Listen to it! Read it again! Give it away! Create a corporate culture and family culture that reflects the principles in this book. This book receives my highest recommendation. How can I give more than five stars?

Life Changing

Revisado: 07-24-12

Where does Wheat Belly rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

This is the best health related book I've listened to since Jillian Michaels' Master Your Metabolism. There is far more information here than just weight loss advice, so read it even if you have nothing to lose!

What other book might you compare Wheat Belly to and why?

The Gluten Free Diet has additional useful information on this subject.

Have you listened to any of Tom Weiner???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Sorry, no, but this was well read and easy to understand even at 3x speed.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Wheat is the junk food of the grain family. Did you know diabetes does not even exist in civilizations that do not eat wheat?

Any additional comments?

Amazing, life changing book. Thanks for years of extra life!

Naive

Revisado: 03-15-11

Mr. Dawkins goes to great lengths to teach people how to close their religious eyes and minds, as if it would help them see the world more clearly with their physical. Half the time I felt I was reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, a better intentioned book that I recommend to all. A fascinating study of how willfully blind one can become, The God Delusion is either a masterwork of self-delusion or sophistry. Those who have had real spiritual experiences will find this book shallow, manipulative, scornful, and it's author at best spiritually naive and inexperienced, at worst an unwitting spokesman for the enemy of God. A poor, unfortunate soul! As for atheists, they'll probably make a prophet out of him, but "Will the blind lead the blind? Both shall fall into the ditch." ~ Jesus A word to the wise: Keep BOTH eyes open! The spiritual and the physical, science AND religion. God did not send us here to rely solely on our senses. He also does not ask us to ignore them.

Excellent

Revisado: 04-06-10

This audio book is outstanding, up until the point where Richard starts going into outdated Global Warming theories, where he has clearly had too much influence from Al Gore and Gordon Brown.

I love the environment, but ClimateGate and also outside data have given us real cause to doubt the data Richard relies on. New research shows greenhouse gases are NOT trapped by the upper atmosphere at all, but escape into space, and that we may be heading into a natural period of global cooling. Furthermore, the whole carbon credits scheme appears to be politically and financially motivated (tens of trillions of dollars are at stake for a few people and companies, including several that Gore is on the board of), and will do great harm to poor, less developed countries, for example. The environment is important, but we have threats more real than global warming, like the depletion of ocean life. If it actually is a threat, there are cheaper ways to deal with it, such as those discussed in the bestselling book (and audiobook!) SuperFreakonomics by Steven J. Dubner.

Would like to see more audiobooks by Richard Branson brought to Audible! (Also maybe the unabridged version of this book?)
