Good parts, oversimplified adult life mostly good for making busy dads feel guilty.

Revisado: 05-26-24

I’m fascinated by stoicism, but found this particular presentation less helpful than I had hoped. It’s read well by the author and other voices, giving quotes from various sources, but perhaps because my life is more complicated as a widowed single father to a young daughter, I found the main impact only a feeling of guilt that I have responsibilities I can’t share with another partner, in raising my daughter. Too many things are easier said here, than put into practice. There is a little to no acknowledgment of more complicated family situations that significantly reduce the quality time this book emphasizes where more acceptance of the uncontrollable and emphasis on self-love and making the most of quality time we can make, would have been more helpful.

great explanation

Revisado: 03-14-24

The idea of love banks and meeting others in a place of mutual enjoyment has been the most important relationship advice I've gathered and this has been the best explanation I've come across. I'm making this a recurring listen just to keep this insight active in my thoughts as I continue in the relationship I hope will last the rest of my life. this is also a well narrated.

That's not Jack Lemmon on the cover.

Revisado: 06-21-23

Do the people who picked the book cover not know who Jack lemmon is? The cover (at the time of this review) is Walter Matthau and Art Carney in the 1965 production.

More please!

Great behind the scenes chronicle and great narration. I really hope they do audiobooks for the rest of this series and more like it for newer Trek productions.

at least as good as the original!

Revisado: 12-24-21

I recall the first book being about layers of virtual reality coming from the outside, going in. This one's about starting inside and getting out, for the most part. There are so many parallels to the original, in a good way. I love reality questioning psychological thrillers and I think this one does a great job. Where the first one felt a bit like a guilty pleasure for some sexist fantasy fulfillment, I think this one address those head-on or or at least questions and holds some of it up to a mirror or makes a joke about it in a way that made me feel less guilty for enjoying the ride. There are still dark and twisted elements that are very much like Stephen King but I'm a sucker for all the Sci-Fi stuff and the narration is top notch. The author's notes and narrator's bloopers at the end were a nice cherry on top, leaving a smile on my face when it was over, on top of the very satisfying ending.

interesting subject, terrible narrator

Revisado: 09-22-21

Glenn Ford may be my favorite classic actor. He had a warm, everyman quality on screen. it's a shame this seemingly well written biography is narrated by a nasally stuffy narrator, reading at a rushed pace.

love the idea not execution

Revisado: 10-24-20

Want to hear mind numbing condescension of science in sci-fi? If so, this book is for you! However, if you want thoughtful corrections and suggestions for science in sci-fi, look elsewhere. Want to learn science for your next novel? Go talk to someone in the field or pick up a science book on your desired topic. That will save you any time and money you might have wasted on this audio rant.

Just an advertisement

Revisado: 07-21-18

I know it's free but I still expected this lesson to fit the description and be read by the listed narrators. However, it's just an advertisement for Innovative Language

almost perfect

Revisado: 03-31-18

My only complaint is the lack of any really joyful Ben Sisko moments though there were oprtunities for it at the beginning and end. Ben has to be very serious for most of both parallel stories but I found both otherwise totally engrossing

a new classic

Revisado: 03-23-18

This classic adventure explores a strang new world while giving a lot of new info on a familiar TOS one episode alien. it has action and social comentary. It has shades of gray and optimism. the narrator does a great job of bringing to life and distinguishing a variety of familiar and new characters.
