Caring for the Dying describes a whole new way to approach death and dying. It explores how the dying and their families can bring deep meaning and great comfort to the care given at the end of a life. Created by Henry Fersko-Weiss, the end-of-life doula model is adapted from the work of birth doulas and helps the dying to find meaning in their life, express that meaning in powerful and beautiful legacies, and plan for the final days.

Good; Narrator a little too "much"

Narrator’s feminine voices are upsetting
Revisado: 01-23-21
This written review is completely focused on the narrator - it is not a review of the author or of the substance of the book. As other reviewers have noted, the high pitched tones the narrator adopts whenever he is reading a woman’s statement just made my skin crawl. There is a long history of men mocking women with that tone of voice in a derogatory way, and I wish male book narrators would find a way to signal that the person talking is a woman without resorting to raising their voice into a fake sing-songy approximation. It immediately degrades the value of whatever it is the woman is saying and makes her sound unreliable and weak because of our culture’s long history with degrading women by mocking their voices for comedic effect or otherwise. Unfortunately, this seems to be an industry-wide practice in audiobooks and is not just a problem in this audiobook. But for some reason it felt particularly egregious in this beautiful book because of the sensitive subject matter.

In Beyond Biocentrism, acclaimed biologist Robert Lanza and astronomer Bob Berman take the listener on an intellectual thrill ride as they reexamine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself. The first step is acknowledging that our existing model of reality is looking increasingly creaky in the face of recent scientific discoveries.

Wonderful book flawed by poor narration
Revisado: 10-26-20
An amazing book that I will spend many years thinking about and digesting. I may buy the physical book to give myself pages to return to. I nearly turned it off after the first few minutes, though, because I found the narrator’s reading a truly awful combination of bored-sounding and haughty - like the world’s most arrogant and bored professor. It helped IMMENSELY to turn up the speed to 1.2x - made it much more listenable. I’d recommend everyone listening to do the same!
