Treat Stuff

Completely unexpected and welcomed

Revisado: 10-04-22

I admit, I had a different reaction at first, but kept listening... This book was terribly interesting and unexpected. I loved the real-world examples sprinkled throughout to hit home the nature of influence and manipulation; how the power can be used for good and evil. Clearly, I being the person I am, balked at the "evil", but then as I kept listening, he's not teaching us how to be evil but how to recognize and respond and turn the tables and not be a victim. The only feedback I have was for the performance as it was a bit inconsistent in the voice and the pace which was really noticeable when listened at 1.2 speed (which I do for all of my books). I'm a fast listener unless there is something I don't understand and need to rewind it. But the pace of the performance meant that some parts were noticeably slow and others zoomed by really fast and this was at any speed.

Timely information

Revisado: 09-23-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

In the beginning of 2022, I noticed some interesting changes... I'm 47... I was able to relate to every single item in this book! From the mood swings to the irregular schedules to the sudden onset of sleeping problems to the point I had myself testing for sleep apnea, to the changes in my weight and even my patience levels with trying circumstances. I appreciated this wasn't just an "eat this, not that" diet book or even weight loss book but a comprehensive view in the what's and why's women of a particular age experience. Well done to the author and the narrator was pleasant to listen to as well.

Good fun!

Revisado: 09-22-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Well now that was entirely enjoyable! This definitely felt more of an 80's family, without internet, one gaming console (Atari or Commodore 64), sitting in the living room on the shag brown carpet with one TV in the house, good clean fun versus today's everyone's in a separate room in the house on one of their devices, lol. I loved the music, the timer, the questions, the narrator, the informative bits after the answer... everything. Well done, can't wait to pull this out on a game night!

Dad's need a book, too!

Revisado: 09-22-22

I loved everything about this perspective. I have personally purchased, "What to Expect..." for personal reasons and thoroughly enjoyed the tone, language and angle of this book for men. I particularly appreciated the special tips, such as controlling ones anger, having a softer touch and things he can do to support his mate. A focus of understanding what is going behind the why and that not everything is black and white and has an easy answer. Nothing is black and white when it comes to the emotional, psychological and physical changes his mate is going through. I would definitely recommend this book to my Dad-To-Be buddies!

Woooooow, I learned so much!

I don't know what I was expecting, but from the first words uttered, I was completely engrossed. This book didn't feel like a textbook but was definitely edutainment. The deep, rich history of the regions is astounding. I did not know, or easily correlate, the Huns, Catherine the Great, the development of eastern Catholicism, rise and falls of empires and so much more. The marriages and alliances and the treachery. It was like I was listening to Game of Thrones, lol! This is definitely one of those great listens for a roadtrip or long commute. But beware; you may find yourself watching the hours of the clock to get back to the book if you have to pause for any reason, say, your job, lol!

Broken down and forever broken.

Revisado: 09-15-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Not a single stone left unturned with this book. I honestly intend to keep this a little closer to my reading glasses as I'm definitely approaching if not already (refuse to admit) in these early stages. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey to correlate menopause, aging, and weight-gain with all of our excuses, as well as the complete debunking of most. The clear abundance of research, organization of the topics, narrator pace and tone, made this a super enjoyable book. Enjoying a book on menopause is not a phrase I thought I'd ever say...

Some info I knew, some I didn't

Revisado: 09-12-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Love everything about this book. The cultural myth busters were extra fun and, dare I say, comical. I especially appreciated the adult, education approach to EVERYTHING; no silly "down there" or "wee-wee" talk in this book! As a 47-yo woman, I especially enjoyed the information on hormones, fertility and the changes one's body goes through with/ or without external hormone therapies. The symptoms made compete sense and I feel like I can return to this book over and over again with specific questions. The narrator was pleasant to listen to as well. Highly recommend!

Whelp, that was an amazing ride...

"No road to something worth having, is linear and without [twists and turns] along the way."

Well that pretty much sums up a great attitude worth adopting. This book was even more enjoyable than I hoped from the title and was an easy listen in one sitting. The exercises, quizzes, entire chapter of affirmations based on what you need at the time, this book was thorough, thought-provoking, motivational and good ole' healthy mind medicine. I don't personally have low self esteem but I could totally empathize with the author's examples. While those folks are working on their internal dialogues, it helps me to have a view into their world from a different perspective so I can adjust my language (patience, positivity, body, etc.). I honestly am going to try to schedule some time every day to hit up bits of chapter 9... Well done, great narration and message and highly recommend!

Dads deserve a book, too!

Revisado: 09-02-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I enjoyed this content. I really liked the comprehensive all-inclusive focus; ways to prepare yourself, ways to support your pregnant partner and a view into science of all the happenings, done in man-speak, lol. This is one of those longer how-to books that DOES lend itself well to being converted into a audiobook unlike others where you need to sit still, take notes, or work in a workbook. I can see men turning this on while commuting, working in the yard, on the car etc, because the content is engaging enough to pay attention but not too detailed where one will lose focus and have mind meanderings. I would totally gift this to my brothers when that time comes...

Comprehensive and prime for new moms!

Revisado: 08-29-22

This "read" to me felt like the book version of generations grandmothers-to-be passing down information to their expecting first-time-mom daughters. Every tip you can possibly imagine from feeding, to bathing, to how to clean bottoms properly. I really like that it's bundled to reflect up through the first year. I will definitely need to revisit this book a few times in the next few months!
