Life Changing!

Revisado: 04-17-22

Life changing and this is not an understatement. Poetic and simply moving. A major turning point in my life thanks to this book.

More of a Library-type listen

Revisado: 01-02-13

It is a book which should not be listened to whilst doing other things that need your attention, like driving!. People in this field would have appreciated no forgetting those with an interest in psychology. Overall it is a good book with in-depth analysis that should be consumed as if reading a book.

Excellent nonpartisan analysis

Revisado: 01-02-13

Haidt is the more, if I may say, more "civil" (for the lack of a better phrase) kind of atheist who has done immense analysis on the reasons behind politics and religion. His nonpartisan style of analysis on both sides of the divide gives good perspectives as to why some people with (or without) certain beliefs behave in a certain way. It was an excellent book which I thought was very well structured and articulated. Haidt would make a good judge in my opinion - for his ability to hold opposing thoughts in one head

Try it - Regardless of your theistic stand

Revisado: 01-02-13

This book raised many critical questions that both theist and atheist should listen too. Whilst being more prescriptive on the atheist side (understandable given the title and intent), this book also has a elements of science which is neutral. The narrator / author sometimes maximises intonation it almost feels like a conversation (one sided of course - given it s an audio-book).

Deep

Revisado: 01-02-13

Its a book that is would loose it's essence if listened to whilst driving or doing something else. Albeit that being my main avenue for audiobooks, I would advise listeners to listen to this in a "library-like" environment to fully, or more deeply appreciate the essence of this book. It is a good book for those who appreciate philosophy and the narrators performance was excellent.

Splendid and good for the brain

Revisado: 01-02-13

Compared to the Selfish Gene, this was much easier to understand and many simple examples are cite. Overall, this is a good book that in classic Dawkin's style raises some logical questions that anyone with a sense of logic and science would appreciate.

Excellent and thought provoking

Revisado: 01-02-13

Its a good book which raises a lot of good questions, especially for the theists. Only thing which could have been better is the narration as the reader/author sometimes gets into a muffled mode which makes it difficult to understand what he is saying. Overall, it was a good book which I enjoyed.

Good Intellectual Discourse

Revisado: 08-13-12

Sam Harris provides a comprehensive view and does not shy away from controversial topics. I've watched videos of him and this book portrays his typical style of confronting and sharing of information. Style is not lost as it also read by him. I strongly recommend this title.
