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.

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.

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.

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.

Perhaps ok for grandpa. I found it to be a bit like a trip to the dentist.

I had to slow the speed down to 80%. Awkward intonation and emphasis throughout. Disappointing.

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.
