One of the best of this genre!

Revisado: 06-09-24

As a physician coach with a specialty I time management, I was excited to find this book. It exceeded my expectations. Although it’s not specifically for physicians, I really appreciated his practical perspective. Instead of the usual tired studies and anecdotes, the author synthesized fresh information in a very engaging and positive conversational style. Highly recommend!

A compelling reminder of a physician's humanity

Revisado: 05-12-24

In this heartfelt memoir, Beverly Joyce details a childhood that may have seemed perfect from the outside, but which in truth was complex and disorienting. As a fellow physician and a colleague of Dr. Joyce, I am left with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the hard climb she has made and for the deeply committed care that she has provided to those who need and trust her.

Repetitive

Revisado: 08-15-23

The same stories were told over and over in excruciating detail. There’s so much filler here, even at 2x speed I couldn’t get through it. Too bad, because I was looking forward to learning more about this topic.

Must listen!

Revisado: 06-26-23

This book is a manifesto for our times. The author is engaging and the story is both personal and universal. Like many books of this type, there is some extra filler, especially near the end, but overall a great listen and well worth the time, especially if you're listening in your car.

Facinating!

Revisado: 06-26-23

Prince Harry has gotten a bad rap in the media, but I found his story fascinating and intriguing. The narrative feels sincere, and it's important that we hear it in his own voice. Yes, he's out of touch with the everyday person, but that's not his fault. It's the world in which he was born and raised. What's interesting is that he has chosen to share it with us, seemingly without guile. He's lived a life of unimaginable privilege, but also of terrible pain. He protests his lack of privacy, but chooses to bare all, perhaps as a way of taking control of his own narrative.

Can’t finish it

Revisado: 06-26-23

I got halfway through and without warning there was a gruesome story.
The other stories so far are well worn tropes we’ve heard before.
The narrator is relentlessly cheerful and just too irritating.
I expected more.

Fascinating story, but too much anxiety

Revisado: 11-05-19

The first part of this story is really compelling, but it got a bit draggy by the last third. The author's description of her recurrent anxiety attacks and hyperventilation get rather annoying. Clearly she was young, inexperienced, and naively trusting. We really can't hold that against her, but I wish she had received some help in managing her reaction to the situation that she found herself in. She did get to have some interesting experiences, and took for granted that her apparently wealthy friend would pay for it all. Having said that, I hope she makes a lot of money off of her story. Her "friend Anna" took advantage of her horribly, and she deserves to have some happiness.
