way too long for the content

Revisado: 11-24-24

This is the ramblings of a professor talking about different topics he is interested in. this could have been at least 3 hours long, if not 1 hour. some lectures say far too little, others (the last two) could be entire books themselves (and are by other authors and great courses). can't recommend, unless you are an alien and have no idea what emotions are.

Summary: do whatever the woman wants

Revisado: 06-21-24

that's basically it it folks. I wish there was a women's guide to men, because it seems as if men are expected to continually sacrifice and be as selfless as possible and expect the woman to be self centered and offer nothing in return. I feel like I would be better off single after listening to this book- not because I want endless hookups but because I can befriend myself better than someone who truly does not care about my feelings and just wants some money and someone to only listen and never speak in return.

Psych 101 course

Revisado: 03-30-24

this is basically a psych 101 course... not much to learn here unless you are new to the field entirely. Many of the lectures end with "so we really don't know why ____, but it probably has to do with evolution." I would recommend this guy's other course on personality, much more interesting in my opinion.

Great until the last third

Revisado: 11-11-23

Great until the last third, when the author starts to go on and on about the beat generation and cults (which have little to do with Alaska or conservation). I think he really admires that whole generation of poets and forgot what the book was about. First two thirds was great though!

Not great

Revisado: 08-09-22

I thought the subject of the Vietamese French conflict seemed interesting. However that is not what this book is about... the focus is mostly on Ho's communist state building. Furthermore, it is written poorly in my view. The author over uses the phrases "and he did" and "and they did" way too much. The narrator also places weird emphasis on words, which got very irritating. I was unconvinced by argument the author was trying to make. Finally, the author makes unnessacry moral judgements about certain figures rather than just presenting facts.

Excellent analysis of these critical few weeks of 1864! Fascinating and very well narrated and written!

if this is for you...

Revisado: 01-30-22

Chances are if you ended up on this book, and you a bothering to read the reviews... yes this is for you!
This is a deep dive into strategy, tactics, military theory, German history, WWI history. Enjoy!

This is for third graders

Revisado: 01-09-22

I listened to half of it and couldn't take it anymore. Each lecture begins with a "myth" about the brain. However, each "myth" is so glaringly and obviously false the lectures quickly become a waste of time. She refutes each myth in the first five minutes and the rest of the time is spent repeating the same point over and over using case studies. Speaking of case studies- I found her tone of voice to be very excited when discussing patients with tragic and severe brain disabilities and trauma. It was very off-putting to picture these poor people going through these things while this doctor is giddy with delight...
The worst part however is her general speaking style. In my opinion, she speaks like she is talking with third graders. I felt some how patronized while listening.
Overall each lecture can be summed up in five minutes and I felt I learned nothing of value I did not already know before.
I will give it at least two stars though, because if you do not have a basic education, or if you are actual a third grade student, there are things to learn.
