This series has amazing narration and great twists and turns. I engaged the first book for a good antihero. Characters are consistently entertaining throughout.

In 10 lectures for self-development, professional communications coach and speaker Carol Ann Lloyd teaches the best ways to communicate and listen, including how to focus on understanding, how to overcome barriers and distractions, and how to clarify intentions. When listeners step back to hear what makes conversations successful, they will learn that each component of a conversation is a piece of a larger puzzle, which only fits together when thoughtfully considered and executed.

Other books on this topic are better
Revisado: 10-10-20
I did not think the material was strongly related to the topic, and found the information shallow compared to other books on conversation and relationship building.

Despite the turmoil of Arab nationalism and fundamentalism, Middle Eastern wars, and oil crises, the history of the Arab world has been little known and poorly understood in the West. One reason may be that, for more than half a century, there has been no up-to-date single volume work that chronicles the story of Arab civilization - until now.

Not particularly linear
Revisado: 05-30-20
I would have retained more with a more linear narrative. This seems more suitable for reading than listening so it can be referenced and reviewed easily.

The modern history of Africa was, until very recently, written on behalf of the indigenous races by the white man, who had forcefully entered the continent during a particularly hubristic and dynamic phase of European history.

Earases the atrocities of European explorers
Revisado: 03-17-20
I just finished Leopold's ghost, which made me want to learn more about the East African slave trade. This book had good additional insight, but completely ignores some of the worst colonial behavior of H. M. Stanley and makes him sound more heroic than I was comfortable with. Same with the approach to King Leopold and others. Very European perspective of history.

The narration is idiomatic but punchy and fun.I didn't know anything about the author before downloading the book. Thoughtful at times lighthearted at others.

In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps - and inner mindset - he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his contacts list, people he has helped and who have helped him. And in the time since Never Eat Alone was published in 2005, the rise of social media and new, collaborative management styles have only made Ferrazzi’s advice more essential for anyone hoping to get ahead in business.

A book you've got to mine this book
Revisado: 09-04-19
The pace of the narration was super slow. I had to increase the speed to 1.4 before finding it palatable. Starts slow. Some of the longer personal stories can be skipped. Insightful, but not super engaging narrated. Perhaps better read.

The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

Great voice acting

The style of narration was very engaging. Great stories. So many comic moments that seemed familiar because they were borrowed by later humorists and adopted to other mediums.

You’ve heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl, but what about a Hounslow Girl? Definition of a Hounslow Girl: a young Muslim woman who wears hooped earrings with her headscarf and grapples with traditional values while hustling her way through urban London. The Diary of a Hounslow Girl is a bold and provocative one-person play, written and performed by Ambreen Razia. From the joys of traditional Pakistani weddings to fights on the night bus, this is a comic story of dreams, aspirations and coming of age, told through the eyes of a 16-year-old British Muslim girl.

I'm Simply Unable to to Hear the Audio Well
Revisado: 03-10-19
I'm very interested in the story line, both because of the intersectional aspect and because it is set in the UK. I'm only listening to it on headphones however, I don't have speakers, and have found the audio disappointingly difficult to hear. It is too quiet. I cannot hear it on the bus on a drive or while doing dishes. I am unlikely to sit and just listen, so unfortunately, I am unlikely to hear this story.

Although Roe v. Wade identified abortion as a constitutional right 45 years ago, it still bears stigma - a proverbial scarlet A. In public discussion, both proponents and opponents of abortion's legality tend to focus on extraordinary cases. This tendency keeps the national debate polarized and contentious. Professor Katie Watson focuses instead on the cases that happen the most, which she calls "ordinary abortion". Scarlet A gives the reflective listener a more accurate impression of what the majority of American abortion practice really looks like.
