Story
If you want to learn how to speak Spanish with complete confidence without having to relocate to a Spanish-speaking country for months or even years, then this audiobook is for you. The biggest mistake language learners make is studying boring, complex grammar material that causes them to fall asleep before speaking a single word! The problem with most phrase books is that they are teaching the wrong phrases, or at least a lot of uncommon phrases. This audiobook is full of the most common phrases you will use while speaking Spanish.

This would have been a very good resource except that they overloaded the sound with MUSIC playing behind all of the talking! it is impossible to concentrate on the language with the music playing too. A shame.

Made me want to claw my eyes out
Reviewed: 07-18-21
The first 12 minutes of this audio book were just a rehash of the first 2 minutes. I could hardly believe how slowly the words were spoken and how the same simple concept was repeated. I increased the speed to 1.5 x, and that helped a little. but still the lack of substance was like chewing a mouthful of glass. I skipped ahead and sampled a few more chapters, but they all sounded the same,seemingly without organization or purpose. I have never quit on an audiobook so decisively, nor been so glad to move on.

Story
In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner.

An impressive book in many respects
Reviewed: 04-05-21
Antifragile demonstrates unique perceptions of societal and organizational interconnectivity and related implications. Taleb is surprisingly unafraid of criticizing sacred cows. Splendid advice about how to ride the bull of life. Worthy of the voluminousness. Well-narrated. Love the meaningful chapter names. A book to be savored and then selectively re-read.

Story
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a key turning point in the history of modern Europe and the world. For much of the 20th century, politics were defined by attitudes to what had taken place in Russia in 1917. To understand the Russian Revolution, then, is to understand a key building block of modern history and the contemporary world.

Poorly read, disappointing
Reviewed: 02-07-21
I am a few chapters in, and this is very hard to listen to. The narration is awkward, with odd pauses injected into the middle of sentences. It doesn't sound like natural speech, and the choppy, "bursty" presentation makes an already-wordy composition seem even more tedious. The content was distracting, too: rather than just telling the story, it came across like a series of debate points.

There’s a lot of information on cryptocurrency and blockchains out there. But, for the uninitiated, most of this information can be indecipherable. The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains aims to provide an accessible guide to this new currency and the revolutionary technology that powers it.

Story
The Kingdom of God Is Within You is a nonfiction book written by Leo Tolstoy. A philosophical treatise, the book was first published in Germany in 1894 after being banned in his home country of Russia. It is the culmination of 30 years of Tolstoy's thinking and lays out a new organization for society based on a literal Christian interpretation. The Kingdom of God Is Within You is a key text for Tolstoyan nonviolent resistance and Christian anarchist movements.

Story
Kundalini is the power of divine within that compels us to evolve and grow - identified by cultures and traditions all over the world as a key to the most profoundly transformative experiences we can have. With its ability to connect us to the energy of creation and elevate us to a higher state of consciousness, Kundalini awakening is crucial to the deepening of our spiritual evolution. But the deep spiritual unfolding that Kundalini offers can also be confusing and difficult to grasp - so how can we approach this universal power with preparation and wisdom?

I have listened to many parts of this book several times, and I learn something new each time. The author's sincerity and depth of knowledge on the topics are clear, the storytelling relevant, and the exercises meaningful. My goals and path are clearer. Highly recommended.
