Historia
As Vikram Mansharamani shows in this eye-opening book, our complex, data-flooded world has made us ever more reliant on experts, protocols, and technology. We've stopped thinking for ourselves. Of course, experts, protocols, and computer-based systems are essential to helping us make informed decisions. What we need is a new approach for integrating these information sources more effectively. The author provides principles and techniques for doing just that, empowering listeners with a more critical and nuanced approach to making decisions.

Particularly relevant advice
Revisado: 09-10-20
This well voiced book presents ideas that mindful adults should consider in their search for what is making the world go round. The author promotes a healthy cynical outlook, questioning the high priests of the new religions - science, medicine and economics. Very insightful.

Historia
Narrated by Emmy Award–winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home—part of the Greatest Generation—who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts: the rationing of meat, dairy products, and sugar; an explosion of war-related jobs; and, despite mixed signals, a greater role for women working outside the home.

Historically revisionist garbage
Revisado: 09-07-19
I couldn't listen past the first two minutes of this drivel as it begins by presenting racism as the most important attribute of WW2 on the home front. This is a result of the current historical revisionist tendency to paint every aspect of US history as an exercise in racism. Total nonsense. Martin Sheen and all the contributors to this product should be ashamed of what has been produced.

Historia
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck and Get Your Sh*t Together comes more straight talk about how to stand up for who you are and what you really want, need, and deserve - showing when it's okay to be selfish, why it's pointless to be perfect, and how to be "difficult". Being yourself should be easy, yet too many of us struggle to live on other people's terms instead of our own. Rather than feeling large and in charge, we feel little and belittled.

Self righteous claptrap
Revisado: 06-06-18
This woman is rebellious and insecure and wrote this book for the sake of being heard, like a petulant child. Full of tired clichés, the irony is she thinks she is nonconformist, but is ultimately conforming to modern social/psychobabble. Waste of time and not for those seeking wisdom.

Historia
Quitting destructive drinking is the easy part - staying quit is the hard part. What do you do tonight, tomorrow, next weekend, when you go on vacation, for the rest of your life? Okay, I Quit. Now What? is filled with practical strategies and concepts to make the most out of living sober. Many people expect too much out of life just because they quit drinking. This is an honest and raw view of life after liquor. Living sober can be the greatest thing you ever do - but you must be an active participant in your own Re-Invention to get the most out of sobriety.

Exactly a how a self help book should be produced.
Revisado: 03-08-14
There are surprisingly few audio books available that deal exclusively with the topic of quitting alcohol. However, Mark Tuschel has written and narrated his views and experience on this sensitive subject in a potent way and effective way.
Refreshingly, he doesn't hold back and tells us exactly what he thinks about the challenges within oneself and, just as importantly, the social challenges with giving up drinking. Since alcohol is so pervasive in our society, the voices for abstinence are few. Tuschel's high volume narration of his book tries to make up for this and will help anyone who is in the process of taking a personal stand against this destructive drug.
He unashamedly criticizes twelve step programs and the idea that alcoholism is a disease in that both of these concepts tend to absolve one of personal responsibility. His narrative is directed at Joe Six Packs, without any psychobabble or New Age platitudes. He addresses the challenges of dealing with lost friendships, relationships and guilt over past drunken behavior that often arise when one gives up booze. He fully admits that life may not be as "exciting" living sober, but it can be happier and more meaningful.
I highly recommend this refreshingly direct and powerful approach to this topic and applaud Tuschel for his courage in sharing his personal experiences and views.

Historia
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.

A frontal assault on nutritional 'science'
Revisado: 05-09-13
This book reiterates the findings of Campbell's The China Study that concludes a whole food, plant based (WFPB) diet significantly reduces illnesses caused by the standard Western diet. However, Campbell directly attacks the Medical-Agricultural-Academic complex as committing fraud on the American people by seeking maximum profits through largely ineffective and harmful medical solutions.
This book supports the premise that US medicine is purely a profit driven industry that will not acknowledge nutrition as the single most effective cure for most of the illnesses that prevail in America today. Campbell supports his conclusions that many doctors and medical researchers are in the pockets of Big Pharma and other ancillary industries that benefit from the status quo. With personal anecdotes and other studies, including The China Study, he questions industry-funded research projects which are skewed to reach the most profitable conclusions. Alarmingly, the medical industry itself is the third leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer, but this statistic is ignored by US government authorities.
He also attacks the dietary supplement industry and genetic researchers as largely favoring a "reductionist" versus a "holistic" view of health and nutrition. It is profitable to sell a drug. It is not profitable to sell a lifestyle based on eating plants.
This book is an excellent sequel to The China Study and expands on an increasingly popular theme that rightly contests the validity of what we're being told and sold. Books such as Wrong by David Freedman and Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre are also excellent Audible selections in this genre.

Historia
The Craig Beck stop drinking method is unique: No need to declare yourself an alcoholic. It's a permanent cure, not a lifetime struggle. There are no group meetings or expensive visits to rehab. No humiliation, no pain, and 100% no will power required. His method treats the source of the problem, not the symptoms.

Revealing and Insightful
Revisado: 10-08-11
Craig Beck argues that all drinking is wrong and destructive, radically proposing this is true despite its broad popularity in Western culture. His personal accounts of rationalizing his drinking, the feelings he had while drinking and after quitting, are presented in clear, no-nonsense script.
Highly recommended for those of us who question whether this well marketed toxin belongs in our lives at all.
