Explains why we “remember” the way we do

Revisado: 01-12-25

Very informative. Helps me to understand that our memories are not just an autobiographical story that is true and absolute. Suggestions on how to improve the retention of memories and why it works are interesting.

It’s also interesting how memory is a living experience that can be manipulated by bad actors in some cases. Those who speak first, speak loudest or feed into our fears and stereotypes can influence our “memories” and beliefs.

Interesting

Seems a little over dramatic but the story is interesting. It’s disappointing if true that the manager lied.

Very enjoyable

Not my usual genre, as no one was murdered, but just what I was looking for. Thought provoking for where I’m at in life, but light enough not to be preachy. Loved it!

The advances in psychiatry in the last few years are incredible This book inspired me to talk to my doctor about the new therapies, especially EMDR, that have been honed.

Potential Small Business owners: Read This

Revisado: 03-19-16

A true picture of running a business. This is the reality of day to day operations and dealing with real people as employees. Some employees think the boss is stupid, so they will start their own company. They should read this first, then think long and hard about their own contribution to their current employer. For most people, employment is the best choice, not running a business. Be an independent contractor, then think about taking the next step.

WOW.

This is more relevant every day. Take, for example, ISIS recruits who feel they have no purpose in life. ISIS gives them meaning. So, too, with many Americans but thankfully they don't turn to ISIS. Young, old, or in between, we all need a reason to be here and feel useful. Dr Frankel explains this so well in four hours it will stick with you.

I haven't seen the movie, but now I can't wait to see Gregory Peck perform the role. Sounds like good casting.

Economics/Finance Refresher Course

Revisado: 07-31-14

This is an outstanding book. I felt like it was a refresher course in economics and finance, but was pleased at how much I remembered after 30 years.
You can get a lot out of it even if you don't understand or remember what is being said in detail. Thankfully he repeats what the formulas mean frequently, but the conclusions are stated so that even if you don't understand the formulas, you understand what his thesis means for the future of the world. And it's not pretty. I agree with him that "super managers" don't "deserve" their multi-million dollar salaries. I've worked with some CEO's in my career as an accountant, and they're no more productive than the average worker, and many times much less.
After listening to this, I was very disappointed to see on my tax update that there is a move to eliminate the Estate Tax in the US, exactly the opposite of what we need to do! The rich get even richer!

I Felt Like I Was In Ireland

Revisado: 03-23-13

Adrian McKinty tells a wonderful story, and Gerard Doyle is a great narrator. I get bored when the climactic chase scene is dragged out and every detail of the car bumping over the road is spelled out. Mr. McKinty does not do that, and the climactic scenes are not one long chase scene around streets, but twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.
I also like Mr. McKinty's understanding of how sociopaths think, and how he weaves that into the story in a very subtle way. His blog is really good, too. He posts frequently, and it's kind of fun to feel like you can interact with him through the comments.

Good book.

Revisado: 09-26-11

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is not so much a mystery as a multi-generational story. It's about the change that happened in the South from a cotton based segregated economy to an integrated industrial based one, and the social changes that took place along with that change. (Of course, I'm an accountant, so I see most things from an economic point of view.)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I liked that the author is not graphic with the violence. I like murder mysteries, but I don't want to hear about the details of blood flying all over, or the mental anguish of a victim.

Any additional comments?

I am a northerner, but I thought the reader did a good job of the slow drawn out speech of the South.
