Could have been a blog post

Revisado: 10-24-23

I cannot understand how one turns what ought to be, at most, 8000 or so words, into this.

Excellent, a compact compilation

Revisado: 10-19-23

Excellent, a compact compilation that's comprehensive yet manages not to bore and injects good prose into the learning.

Many conclusions I arrived at after years of bumbling around breathing were neatly compacted here, and some amount of new useful information was still revealed to me.

I also found it motivating in continuing the project of bettering my experience.

Can't recommend this enough :)

interesting but a bit long winded and repetitive, would have enjoyed more numbers and fewer stories

Political book

Revisado: 07-10-21

mainly about American politics and social issues. Often enough on the cusp of teaching something interesting, but then gets lost meandering through racism and crime porn, which are the book's real central themes.

curious

the author definitely comes off as a bit delusional, though it might be that the narration was part of what made it feel that way.

Boring soap opera

Revisado: 05-31-21

boring soap opera about meaningless squabbles in the academic community, lacks any interesting scientific knowledge that one can't get in 1-2 pop bio 101 YouTube videos.

A book about penis size insecurity

Revisado: 03-01-21

The topic had amazing potential, I felt, to be a hilarious yet informative read.

However the author seems to just be making an exercise at trying to write 100+ pages of reassurances to people about their dong size.

it reads like a doctor suffering PTSD from doing unecessary surgeries and now trying to atone.

Surprisingly good

Revisado: 05-23-19

It's the kind of thing I'm happy I listened to at age 23, though obviously propagandist and shallow in nature, less so than most platforms that allow important players to speak

This is essentially a scam

Revisado: 05-23-19

This material is not made to be listened to in audiobook format.

It requires the video to be understood, 90% of the first 2 chapters is her pointing at stuff on a (presumably) whiteboard or video-projection we can't see. And instructions such as "This thing here" don't help when all you have is the audio and a PDF with images.

Now, going past that, the books itself presents information in a seemingly very bad way, I haven't gone through all of it (due to the previously mentioned error) but it seems to fall into the age-old mistake of describing rather than exemplifying and explaining.

It concerns itself with describing what the various areas of the brain are called and the history behind the names... but I wanted to understand the FUNCTION of the brain from this books, that's what the title implies, and it doesn't seem to do that, at all.

It's boring, it managed to spend 1 hour emparting literally no information that my brain cared to remember, which is a rather impressive feat, assuming that's what you were aiming for.
