Almost missed getting this book

Revisado: 04-12-16

I highly recommend this book. I have a lot of books on meditation skills so I thought my library was full. But this book has a lot of interesting drills that can be done solo or with a friend. The goal of the author is to create world peace in his spare time. Which is pretty much all the time we can spare! See the author's talk at YouTube Google Talks and see what you think.

Poor recording

Revisado: 07-15-15

The sound quality is not that good on this show, but I didn't mind paying a small price to hear a radio story of the Grand Old Days of radio.

Great!

Revisado: 04-08-15

The first half-hour to hour of this modern update of Jane Austen's great work may be amongst (if I may use that word) the very best writing and reading there is on audible.com. Be prepared for the author's huge charm offensive!

Otherwise, this book's main thrust is for us to better consider our dealings with others and urges us to press forward our lives with kindness born of seeing the other person's point of view, and refraining from judging the *apparent* meaning in the conduct of others. (I suppose this could well be done in our respective countries' world relations.)

I was surprised at first how this could be a "children's book" but have acquiesced. I came to admire Ms Winslett's acting/ narrative skills!

So wonderful!

Revisado: 01-05-15

I had always loved Jane Austen but for some reason had not gotten round to listening to Sense and Sensibility. I was nervous at first about it becoming a mere trivial commentary on women's affections and affectations but came to love this book. I became emotionally involved and even tearful at times.

A most pleasant surprise was finding the narrator, Juliet Stevenson. I had not heard of her before but find her one of the great readers at Audible. I was amazed at how she could create the characters, both men and women, with such clarity and charm that was so equal to the greatness of the book.

What about influence in politics

Revisado: 12-22-14

This is an interesting book, and reading it could save you thousands of dollars and a lot of heartache. So read it just for that alone.

My other thought is there was very little mention of "influence" in politics: how we are "trained" to concur and to obey to a greater or lesser degree.

Great story

Revisado: 12-19-14

This was an exciting discovery for me. Anita Loos, the author, has put into words something about men that remains true and funny to this day, over 80 years after first being published.

It tells stories on men and is also a great little history of the 1920's.

It is very funny and highly recommended.

The narrator is absolutely perfect for this book and I hope she does a lot more work for us.

So, so remarkable!

How on earth does A M McCall do it?

He starts the book on the Cayman Islands and goes on from there. I suppose he visited the Islands for a vacation for three or four weeks and from that was able to weave another fabulous story of insights into human nature. He picked up the flavor of the Islands and the humanity that lives there.

The bonus is that the book is longer than Mr. Smith's other books so there is that much pleasure in listening to it.

What we have forgotten!

Revisado: 02-13-14

I remember reading this brief pamphlet in college and having to go for a drive in my car several times before I could finish it.

I shall not try to improve on Thoreau by recounting the text, but highly recommend this book for "How to be an actual American."

The price is right, the time to listen to it is right!
