Perception Broadening, Thought Provoking, and Life Changing

Revisado: 01-30-25

This may be the most important book I’ve ever read (listened to). It has helped me understand myself by understanding where my thoughts and feelings come from, how they interact with each other, and how I in turn interact with other people (who are guided by their own thoughts and feelings). It has given me tools to unify my different “selves,” and take control of/structure my life by listening to what they all have to say, and acting accordingly.

Enjoyed it, wouldn’t have read it

Revisado: 06-05-23

Great performance, interesting tidbits throughout, whalishly long, perhaps intentionally (as the author even suggests toward the end)

Came for Peter Pan, but I got… this

Revisado: 05-25-23

I have seen a couple of Peter Pan movies, and I wanted to finally read the actual story. I got this, thinking it was the actual story, but it turns out it wasn’t. I still listened to it, and was fairly unimpressed. Many times, the audio would fade or get muffled. The story itself just wasn’t very good in my estimation, which may be due to what other reviewers described as it being “an amalgamation of different stories/productions *about* Peter Pan, but not the actual book.” at this point, I don’t really want to read the real book anymore, either. Bad form, Audible.

Nostalgic, informative, and interesting

Revisado: 05-25-23

I learned a lot about Nintendo, the video game explosion of the 1980s, the shift from arcade to console, and the subsequent arms race between brands that continues to this day. I was inspired by the creator’s resourcefulness in using the limited tools he had available to invent fantastic and well-aging games.

Great story, great use of language, excellent narration.

Revisado: 05-19-23

I never read this before, and while it is probably targeted at women, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jane Austin had a masterful command of the English language and conveying the subtleties of romance. My only complaint was that there weren’t any explosions. Not one.

Great info on collaborative humor writing/revision

Revisado: 05-10-23

I enjoyed hearing about the process, and it was a great expansion of ideas from the first book. The only problem hung I didn’t particularly enjoy was walking through numerous drafts of very similar work after revisions, but I think they served a good purpose.

This is not read in a way conducive to sleep

Revisado: 05-09-23

The music is good, but the narrator’s voice is fairly jarring for a sleep hypnosis recording.

“Kill Your Darlings: Rules for Thee, Not for Me”

Revisado: 05-08-23

The performance is good. There are some helpful chapters of info in this book, and I enjoyed it fairly well, despite it being tedious at times. My number one criticism: For a book that mentions “Kill your darlings” on several occasions, this book is chock full of darlings. The author includes dozens of tangential little asides intended to be amusing, which often fall short and almost always detract from the message of the writing.

Fantastic book about accessing creativity!

Revisado: 03-11-23

I love hearing Rick speak. I’ve been aware of him as the producer of some monster albums, but I had never looked into him. I heard him as a guest on The Huberman Lab Podcast and I had to check out this book. I loved it in its entirety. It was so inspiring and reassuring. It reminded me that I *am* an artist (which I knew), and that everyone has the capacity to be an artist. It also showed how easy it is to access creativity when you are open to it. It reinforced an idea that I somewhat recently came to understand - that as a creative individual, I *have* to create things, or I am in violation of my nature. I have already been more driven to produce and share art. I will listen to this book multiple times, and likely buy a physical copy so I can underline and write in the margins. Everyone even remotely interested in creative work should read (or listen to) this. 11/10

Enjoyed it and will listen again

Revisado: 01-18-23

Lots of good principles to draw from, regardless of the listener’s area of study. Read/translated from two sources.
