Delivers on all levels with a powerful surprise

Revisado: 05-14-23

I bought this book after hearing about Peter Attia on Tim Ferriss podcasts and I bought it for the highly technical insights on physical health, biomarkers and longevity. In a very relatable way, this book delivers on all of those. I've taken many notes to review on my next visits with my healthcare team. But the last chapter on mental health was so unexpected and relevant to me that I would have bought this book and rated just as highly on this alone.

Stunning Political Bias

Revisado: 09-30-22

I'm absolutely amazed and disappointed at the political bias in some of these interviews. I had listened to Sam Harris on a few occasions and never detected this. Just lucky at that time, I guess.

Riveting ride-inside the character's mind.

Revisado: 07-11-18

I just devoured this book. The story and presentation is phenomenal. I felt like I was sitting next to--perhaps inside of the author/characters mind. Every thought was so real and intense. I tend to listen to non-fiction but I was looking for a good story and I am so pleased with this one. The colloquialisms shared and the conflicting thoughts were real and poignant.

Creativity Belongs to Us All!!

Revisado: 11-27-17

Creativity belongs to us all! Not just the "gifted" (as defined by the educational system) or the "artistic." I mean no offense to either category, but I am neither so I always felt that creativity was for others. Elizabeth Gilbert's philosophy is liberating and has helped me access creativity in my everyday life.

I picked this book by reading the descriptions. I made no connection to Elizabeth Gilbert's previous book. I'd heard so much about that one and didn't think it was for me. But Big Magic intrigued me and I am so glad I "read" it. I enjoy her style, prose, use of just the right word--and the fact that her words are real.

I might just pick up that other book after all.

Must read for anyone who needs to interact with people!

Revisado: 10-03-17

I bought this book in hardcover and Kindle after getting half way through. Vanessa Van Edwards is highly relatable and her subject mastery is easily grasped. The tools on her website are easily accessible. Quite a find!!

Stunningly impactful. Heart and soul.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bruce--not only how he won his battle with self-doubt and depression, but how he continues to fight it each day.

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

His description of losing Clarance. A very poetic and riveting account.

Any additional comments?

I was not a fan of Bruce Springsteen at all until now. I bought each album as I went walked through the creation of each one with him. I admire him for his battle with depression--and for sharing such a personal side of his life.

Jeff Ashton delivers- fascinating and educational.

Revisado: 07-16-16

Jeff Ashton delivers a fascinating and educational look into a drama that had my interest at the time. After the verdict I have barely been able to think about this case until now. He blends heart, empathy and scientific detail with a bit of humor. He never loses sight of Caylee and the despicable behavior of her mother. His closing line hits you hard.

Eerily accurate portrayal of dark side of society.

Revisado: 08-07-15

This story is more about the development of thinking....how we perceive right and wrong. I'm thrilled to have experienced it.

Absolutely loved it. Depth of characters. Good insight into a life that was perilous. A raw exposure to detail at times. Glad I read it!
