Great two-book series

Revisado: 04-03-22

Great content for multiple times of listening to these two books. Great audio production makes these two books very enjoyable in addition to the wealth of information and learning.

Just what I needed after loosing my Dad

Revisado: 07-20-21

This book does not help me easing my grief for my Dad who suddenly passed away two months ago. It helps me to understand the grieving process, provided me with what it to come, and showed me that there is no end goal. One does not "get over" a loss, one learns to live with a loss. The human experience at its full circle.

Secular spiritual freedom and capitalism

Revisado: 06-30-21

This book is very insightful. The author systematically develops the knowledge on the basic terms and proposed solution while righting some misconceptions on writings of Marx, Hayek and others. The author proposes a change of value proposition of social wealth namely to change from 'capital growth' to 'individual, available free time.' We often take capitalism was 'God-given' the author makes a good case this is not only false, but ultimately not sustainable or desirable. Great read, great production!

Personal and insightful

Revisado: 06-03-21

This book almost reads like a laymen's version of Existential Psychoanalysis was it not for the deeply personal experience and anecdodes. Such a joy to listen to and to continue my Yalom journey.

Amazing book, terrible narration

Revisado: 05-28-21

The content of this book make it ok to listen to the poor performance audio experience. One could not have picked a more monotonous, pompous and dispassionate narrator to read the fundamental truths of life.

Beautiful book and captivating presentation

I learned of this book in Said's Culture and Imperialism. It was very interesting to listen to this book from that lense. Highly recommended!

Either side of the argument should read this book

Revisado: 02-28-21

I don't understand how narrators can be selected reading a book without being able to pronounce the quotations of the author in his native language. This book was insightful and entertaining to read, especially since I don't agree with all aspects of the view of the author. At a minimum it taught me to clearly state my understanding of words misused in public discuss today.

A must read!

Revisado: 01-30-21

What makes us human? What is the border between humans and animals? How have religions and historic communities valued animals? So much food for thought and urgency in changing our personal behavior.

A must-read introduction to dehumanization

Revisado: 01-15-21

This book clearly defined dehumanization and separates it from related topic such as racism, sexism, ableism, etc. It provides a template of identifying the beginning of dehumanization on oneself and in one's environment. A must-read during times of rising populism and authoritarianism.
