Grover Gardner
Why might some sex education programs result in more teen pregnancies? Why did reading that self-help book make you feel less happy? What's the best way to recover from trauma? Can we actually improve our lives by redirecting our thinking?
We tell ourselves stories to make sense of the world. These stories ultimately determine if we will lead healthy, productive lives or get into trouble. Renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson proposes a radical new view: although these stories can be very hard to change, they can change - surprisingly quickly - if tweaked in the right way. He considers a broad range of problems, exposes failed attempts to solve them, and reframes them with new stories. Scientifically tested, his practical advice and simple techniques have been found to bring about real results including enhanced happiness, personal meaning, and social progress.

Grover Gardner turns a dry book into a good listen

New idea for me

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Little too much data and intepretation. More textbook than I would like. I like the series on 'reptile' and thought some of this might be related. It wasn't.What could Timothy D. Wilson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Make it more about the 'story' and the effects of 'redirecting.' I thought I would get more out of it.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No. I barely finished it. I bought it for insight. . .didn't get a lot. I wanted value for what I could use in day to day experiences.Any additional comments?
Didn't help me.I was hoping for more insight.

Where does Redirect rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I'd say it's a very worthwhile read. As a new father to twins, I found the parenting science section to be particularly interesting. I don't review often, but I'd say this is in the top 5% of audiobooks I've listened to. I'm a 14 year member and I've accumulated just over 1000 titles, and I figure over half weren't worth the time (too much drivel).You can control your kids with bribes, threats, or fear, but he makes a good case that the results are only superficial (although they work), until the child embraces the changes as his own. Bribe a kid to get A's, and they might do it, but they will not have learned to love learning, which will effect them as adults. There are numerous examples like this. And worse, bribes and threats can sometimes even backfire.
There are many good examples, including interventions that seem very reasonable, and common-sense says these interventions are good and productive, but science sometimes disagrees, giving you pause.
It's an intelligent book and kept me interested throughout.
Insightful and backed by science.

What did you love best about Redirect?
I liked how the author pulled information and research from various areas to synthesis his premise.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not all in one sitting, but I did have a couple of driveway moments, where I sat in the driveway waiting to hear the end of the chapter.Interesting

An Interesting Premise, Ruined By Poor Execution
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Lots of good examples, experiments and explanations. Unfortunately there is always a hidden solicitation for a central planning job for such authors, as the fallacy that the monopoly of violence can do good with stolen tax money is a bridge to far to be debunked. So the author shows all the government programs that should reduce drugs use and violence and actually increased it, but he unfortunately comes with a plan to fix them. Once money is taken by force, it will never do any good afterwards.

Interesting read, but not much learned

I was hoping for more in-depth information on methods that are effective in changing behavior. These experiments are briefly described before moving on to the next popular program that doesn't work.
However, I would recommend it to parents, teachers, school board members, political leaders and anyone with a stake in the effectiveness of institutionalized education.
Why programs fail.
