This course covers a lot in a compressed way, yet with some detail and is entertaining, even humorous at times. Good choice for the intellectually curious.

It sounds like a theater play. The story is made interesting by the actors performance, and not a long audio book.

The as for the mathematics, very hard to follow in audio format at least to me. But the true philosophical passages are enlightening. Interesting that the knowledge displayed seems to be ahead of its time.

Las inercias del sistema político mexicano, un buen repaso de historia reciente e incluso universal combinada con sociología para entender que está pasando en nuestro país y porqué el interludio democrático de 30 años ha sido interrumpido. Advierto que este audio libro demanda atención, ya que el argumento no es muy simplista, aunque las conclusiones son claras. A fin de cuentas, el futuro no está escrito pero depende mucho de nosotros.

In a convincingly scientific manner by an experienced and reputable specialist. Very engaging descriptions of the cases he dealt with, abundant with insights and sobering information. Hard to put down.

And also interminable boring, is made into a fun, easy to follow (close attention required, though) useful and practical narrative. I was pleasantly surprised.

Food for a good dose of rational schepticism

A short audiobook, highly technical but still fairly comprehensible to me, a lay person in psychology. Thanks be to Google, and Bing, for that. The book is a set of interesting descriptions of several clinical cases of people with apparent supernatural experiences from ghost sightings to spiritism practice and the like, which Jung could trace back to mental states induced by a series of mental abnormalities or diseases. Terms like histeria, somnambulism, epilepsy, twilight mental states, cryptomnesia, automatisms, subconscious personalities and others are used in the case descriptions. Apparently all cases were cured or were manageable, some even with simple overwork and stress relief or simply in time. The explanations in the book are good support for a rational skepticism about supernatural phenomena.

Not quite, but thanks to this brilliant exposition I have a much, much better understanding of his philosophy. This is true discovery of Nietzsche without having to go over all, or most, of his works. Professors Higgins and Solomon make a brilliant unveiling here.

This is different, since Cory is a professional meditator with first hand experience in a real Buddhist monastery. He keeps you interested all the way, even if much of the stuff has been said before. He points to good resources to aid in meditation practice.

It is certainly a long audiobook, and the only 19 century stile of the author does not help. Even though is hard to follow for the most part, they an important or beautiful insight pops up here and there. The book requires patience, but such patience I found rewarding. Definitely worth a second and thorough listen to discover more.
