Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters? Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

Impressive!
I love the way the author narrates his own book. He does such a great way of presenting the material that it’s more like he is naturally talking to you directly and not just reading from a book. I’ve read and listened to many books on this subject but I was very impressed by this author/narrator. Just a great book on the subject... clear, concise and very easy to comprehend.

For novices only
If these are the toughest interview questions you ever get, then you probably haven't gone very far.
Strengths and weaknesses, tell me about yourself, where do you see yourself in five years, these are the types of basic questions that get discussed.
If you have never been to an interview before, then this might be useful; however, all of this information is available for free on many websites.
Disappointing.

Impressively bad
Please do not waste your time with this audiobook. As others have noted, the questions are in no way tough or different from what you'll find anywhere else.
However, note that his answers are also bad; Portney sounds nervous and unsettled (terrible to listen to- i wish the sound sample had his laugh) and is extremely repetitive. This means that A) much of the meager 1 and a quarter hour is wasted B) many sample answers are circular and sound poorly thought out.
I went to his website and couldn't even find a resume, cv or employment history: very suspicious. Also, it seems like it was written by a six-year-old.
In summary, just because you confidently paste your name and face all over your work doesn't mean you are an authority. Pull the other one, Portney.
