Advertising, free markets, Hollywood movies and innovation in mental health and sexuality research, well explained by the author. Political insight abounds. I learned.

The publisher(s), however should hang their heads in shame over totally failing to have the narrator pronounce words he’s clearly unfamiliar with, ruining much of the story and rendering other parts nearly incomprehensible. California’s Esalen, as just one example, becomes Ass-Lon! Good author, horrible publisher. Audible should be ashamed to release such a poor production of a good work. I’m glad I listed. But am happy it’s over!

The brilliant, kind endearing Sachs read without the passion and joy that inspires us. Still worthwhile because the content is so interesting and informative and memorable, like the story of Einstein s dream of riding a light beam. If only it was read in a voice more like Oliver’.

Lots of great books about Spinoza. IMHO this isn’t one of them. Boring, preachy, not particularly informative

A thoroughly enjoyable listen to learn about the history of a vilified, brilliant, and complicated man and his many compatriots. I recommend the Wikipedia entry on this book for additional insights.

I heard Trillin is a great writer. He isn’t. Had to quit this after 2 hours trying to understand what others see in this boring story and his idiotic parking obsessed character. Like, who cares and it’s not funny or incisive. Find something better to go with your time.

I always learn from and appreciate Kimmelman and this audiobook is no exception. In this audiobook the author recruits notable architectural historians and engineers and walks through neighborhoods. It’s a wonderful idea but spoiled a bit by using professional narrators to substitute for the voices of the actual tour experts. I want my Andrew Scott Dolkart in his delightful, exuberant,’occasionally squeaky voice, not some smooth radio-voiced professional!

Take a tip from Malcolm Gladwell whose Talking to Strangers did this right: real people, real interviews in their genuine selves. Like they should be. I would buy this audiobook all over again if you did it right. In this case, a great author, a mediocre publisher.

Every human will be moved and informed by the story of Trevor, his family and the many cultures he explains. I learned so much from this book I will be grateful for the rest of my life.

Covid, love, and what feels like a psychedelic trip to what in the end is a pretty good death in the amazing surreal beautiful city of New York in all its beauty and complexity.

Superficial often incorrect history written like a version out of the US State Department of the 1970s. Ignores what was going on around the world. The voicing of different characters is awful as is the pronunciation. I was surprised at how bad this was. Read Year Zero, A history of 1945 by Ian Baruma to recover from this book
