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.

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.

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.

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.

A frontal assault on nutritional 'science'

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.

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.
