Good job guys! Clear and precise with some humor. My question is what am I able to do that will help? You’ve made it much easier to find that spot.

Options to change the discourse and call out lies. I enjoyed this. I am going to listen again.

I liked the whole thing, I will have to reference frequently but I’m glad he presented the apologist arguments with an explanation of why they don’t work.

I love Seth, and this book so closely parallels my journey, except it took me much longer. I love how he talks about binary thinking. I was just talking to someone about how I miss nuance. This explains a lot of that.

I’m hungry.

This was a lot of fun. I enjoyed these menu presentations. A good narrator does make a difference no matter what they are reading. Short delicious bites.

A practical guide for taking your personal power back.

Revisado: 11-18-17

This book was icing on the cake for me. I’ve been in recovery for over 20 years and the steps are a lot about behaving your way into better thinking. I still have had issues with presence, though my life is 100 times better than it was. William James was a large part of early 12 step foundation. Presence is still based on his thinking decades later, but in a much more physical sense. I love how this segues from practices I already use to be a better person to how I can be better for me. Taking power back that I’ve been giving away to others. Definitely worth a listen and I will be revisiting this book often. I’m also going to watch Amy Cuddy’s TED talk for reinforcement.

Meh

The story was ok, and it was entertaining to read about a time with no cell phones and computers. Investigations were foot work. What I couldn’t stand was the way women were sexual objects, helpless victims, or both. That was thrown onto every female in the book, and of course the all wanted Trav.

Gives so much in such a short time!

Revisado: 01-16-17

This story is so poignant, and in such a small amount of time conveys the confusion, pain, and hopefulness one goes through dealing with loved ones with dementia/Alzheimer's. It says in the forward that initially this wasn't meant to be a story. From my understanding, it was the author's way of writing out and dealing with aging and changes in loved ones, trying to make what sense of it if he could. That message makes the entire story so much more bittersweet. Such a huge and painful idea laid out in such a touching way was brilliant and cathartic for me (of course, I cried). This will especially touch those who have experienced anything close to this situation. This author shares at such depth in this and A Man Called Ove. I look forward to the other two books I haven't read yet. David Morse's narration was superb.

Best book I've read in a long time.

Revisado: 01-13-17

This story had me from the beginning to the bittersweet end. The characters are so well developed, the story has been so superbly crafted, and the narrator was fantastic. I loved his Ove voice and he did so well with each dominant character that you knew who was speaking after a while without having an introduction. I became so immersed in this story and I found myself laughing aloud frequently. This is going to be a frequent repeat I'm sure. I love Ove predominantly because he is such a consistent curmudgeon, and you have the opportunity to see why he is. There is so much to say about this book, mainly - just get it. Well worth the credit.

Ending a let down.

Revisado: 01-10-17

It took me a couple of chapters to really get into the story. After that it went fast, but I kept thinking "seriously?" after quite a few plot twists. It was just a little much. At the end I thought I probably had 30 mins to 1 hour left - the counter said 31 seconds. That threw me. I had to listen again to the preceding chapter because I was certain I missed something. I hadn't, it's like a story on top of a story and then a two minute epilogue to tie all things up. It was just weird to me. I'm glad it was a daily read. I don't think this was worth a credit. I was entertained enough to complete the listen though.
