Research-based, Unbiased, Compassionate, Rigorous and Fair
Revisado: 11-05-24
Dr. Soh is one of those individuals with intellectual integrity who can care about causes without injecting misinformation, disinformation and other nefarious tactics so often deployed on any topic that touches the political realm of opinion.
A sober analysis and personal story of the perils of genuine efforts at speaking the truth on controversial subjects. She avoids needless inveincentives and sticks to the facts while demonstrating and encouraging empathy and compassion for individuals who are the subject matter of her research.
Informative and provocative, it will provide needed facts to help understand gender, and arrive at sensible positions on how to assess issues surrounding gender.
Well done, Dr. Soh. I highly recommend to people of all political beliefs.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Theatrical Value Is Outstanding
Revisado: 08-17-24
The performances and musical score really swallowed me into the story. I was listening on a knife's edge in parts.
A classic work that really felt alive in this format and version. Well done!

Historia
Anger now dominates American politics. It wasn’t always so. Both the left and right now summon anger as the main way to motivate their supporters. Post-election, both sides became even more indignant. The left accuses the right of “insurrection.” The right accuses the left of fraud. This is a book about how we got here―about how America changed from a nation that could be roused to anger but preferred self-control, to a nation permanently dialed to eleven.

A Hyper-Partisan Author Who Portends to be Objective
Revisado: 04-24-24
I'm a centrist who has a large amount of criticism for the political left. But the apologetics for the far-right extremism, insurrectionism, lies about the 2020 election---that even GOP state-level officials say is false---this author embraces them as truthful, legitimate and justified beliefs. Moreover, he believes "wrath" that emanates from these demonstrably falsehoods beliefs to be justified. It is too difficult to seriously read a scholar who is so unaware, or obtusely in denial of his own irrational biases. There are many other reasonable, measured, scholars who check their partisanship, and my time, and yours, would be better spent reading their works.

Historia
What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Great Insights, But Too Verbose
Revisado: 04-02-23
I would've given it 3 stars, but for the fact, it was my fault I read the unabridged version.
I appreciate the sincerity and insight he offers in many respects (5 stars for that). There are myriad parts, however, that seem rambling and not focused on the point he is trying to make in the chapter.
He also relies on quotes and references Biblical scriptures more than any other sources combined. This seems deliberate for a targeted, mostly Christian audience. He also speaks more of literary references than social science itself. When he does mention psychologists, it is typically the psychoanalytic school (Freud and Jung). I don't have an issue with doing so per se since it is more of a philosophical text he wrote here. But, there is a dearth of more contemporary and empirical research. He is a clinical psychologist, and while I welcome his anecdotes, I would think he would have had more to say about cognitive behavioral approaches rather than an overly abundant emphasis on psychoanalysis and Biblical scriptures.
It is definitely provocative. I loved parts of it and, at other parts, found myself saying aloud, "Shut up!" or "get to the point." Especially in his protracted, unnecessary, loquacious tangents into Christianity, which erode from his otherwise more erudite discussion. If it were a scale of 1-10, I would give a 7.

Historia
In Supreme Inequality, best-selling author Adam Cohen surveys the most significant Supreme Court rulings since the Nixon era and exposes how, contrary to what Americans like to believe, the Supreme Court does little to protect the rights of the poor and disadvantaged; in fact, it has not been on their side for 50 years. Cohen proves beyond doubt that the modern Court has been one of the leading forces behind the nation’s soaring level of economic inequality, and that an institution revered as a source of fairness has been systematically making America less fair.

Essential Reading for the Last 100 Years of SCOTUS
Revisado: 10-10-22
Highlights various double standards and inconsistencies in legal reasoning SCOTUS has used to between the wealthy and powerful and poor and disinherited.
The Warren Court of 1954 - 1969 was an era of improving toward equality and equitable democracy. Since then, however, the conservative control and ideologies on the Court have sought not just to undue the Warren Era progress, but even the New Deal improvements in worker's rights and corporate accountability.
Well researched and thorough in the evidence it presents to defend the book's thesis.

Narration imbues proper emotion into content
Revisado: 09-28-22
I never felt bored, nor too lost or confused with the listening experience. The content is world class and the voice actor did the content proper justice.
