For the audio book version, Dr. Warren Farrell personally rewrote the highlights of The Myth of Male Power as a dialogue. The questions are similar to what others will ask you when you discuss these issues. You’ll have Dr. Farrell’s best answers. The Myth of Male Power helps each family member understand that genuine power is neither status nor money, but “control over one's life.” He documents that virtually every society that has survived has done so by persuading its sons to be disposable--whether in war or in work; and therefore indirectly as dads. And disposability is not power. Considered the Bible of men's studies—yet highly empathetic to women (Dr. Farrell was repeatedly elected to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC)-- the meticulously researched The Myth of Male Power takes the listener on a captivating journey around the world, throughout history, biology, the Bible, the law, and everyday life, challenging every currently-held assumption about men, women and the family.

great book, not sure about the interview style

instead of reading the book, it is an interview where they cover each subject and stats.

The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Loved listening to this book on my commute! To me this book consisted of 2 parts chapters 1-16 are the problem, and boy I'm convinced the author is right that this is the #1 problem the world is facing. Automation is going to obliterate communities and lives. I learned so much from this section, but as it's content suggests, it gets depressing. If the reader likes, they can jump straight to the 'solution' half of the book, starting on chapter 16/17.
The solution section is excellently filled with new ideas for dealing with the fallout of automation. The biggest solution is Universal Basic Income. One of the reasons I got this book was because I like UBI, but have concerns about how it can be paid for and delivered. This section answered my questions, and even gave more suggestions as to its effectiveness and pilot studies going on right now. He also adds more ideas after UBI, some sound plausible, others ehh.
As a techy neuroscientist in the field of AI I completely agree with the author's sense of urgency for this subject, and getting ahead of the problem, and in that way this book is a must read/listen.
