Informative and Interesting!

I chose this book because I wanted to learn about autism itself - not just one person or family's singular perspective or experience. This book did not disappoint!
If you work with children at all, especially as a parent or teacher, you should definitely give this book a read.
While the book does focus primarily on children, I think that anyone who manages or leads groups of adults should also consider reading this book in order to better understand the individuals around them and help foster a diversity-friendly and compassionate workplace/group.

A gut-wrenching, beautiful memoir which explores toxic masculinity and the devastating consequences of war on one impressionable young soldier Matt Young joined the Marine Corps aged 18, after a drunken night that culminated in him crashing his car into a fire hydrant. The teenage wasteland he fled followed him to the training bases of California. Young survived training and then three deployments to Iraq as an infantryman.

Interesting Perspective

After the r/usmc community recommended this book, I decided to give it a listen. Other than just a general recommendation to the public, I highly recommend this book to junior and senior Marines alike. The author is good at converting difficult and overwhelming feelings into relatable terms. Military jargon is explained thoroughly enough that anyone could follow along and understand.
While I could generally relate to the everyday "Marine Things" discussed throughout, my experiences and feelings will never be exactly the same as those of the author. I am grateful for his perspective and honest insight. It will help me to be a better leader and a more understanding friend.
This book is an interesting listen. The only thing I found irritating is that at times the tone of the narrator did come off as whiney. Although, that may have been intentional. From the outside-looking-in, some choices could have easily been made differently. Things could have been better, and it seemed like the author brought bad times upon himself. However, in the moment, I know everything the author felt and did made sense. I admire him for having the strength to share his experiences so that others could connect, learn, and know that they are not alone.

The revised and updated edition of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's modern classic about the psychology of combat, hailed by the Washington Post as "an illuminating account of how soldiers learn to kill and how they live with the experiences of having killed". In World War II, only 15 to 20 percent of combat infantry were willing to fire their rifles. In Korea, about 50 percent. In Vietnam, the figure rose to more than 90 percent. The good news is that most soldiers are loath to kill.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I listened to it every chance I could get. It kept my attention and gave thorough, detailed insight on each topic covered. I’m incredibly grateful for this audiobook version. A physical copy of this book would’ve taken me much longer to complete.
