The author CONSTANTLY suggests another book, only hinting at what affect the mentioned behavior may have. They also cite papers that have no publish date and seemingly unscientific information.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

An Amazing Listen
Reviewed: 01-17-23
Thank you for sharing your life with us, Prince Harry.
I watched both the Oprah interview as well as the most recent Netflix documentary, so I was familiar with the struggles of Harry & Meghan’s life as it had been. This audiobook was a joy to listen to.
I am not one to binge audiobooks, but I couldn’t put get enough of Harry’s story telling- I listened late into the evening, over the past few days- as I was so enthralled by this recount.
I laughed, I cried, I felt anger and frustration towards the wrong doings of both the Royal Family and the British Media. My heart goes out to Harry and Meghan and all they’ve gone through. I wish them peace, happiness, and security as they continue to carve their new life in Southern California.

Does nature really make us feel better? The 3-Day Effect takes a look at the science behind why being in the wild can make us happier, healthier, and more creative. Whether it’s rafting down Utah’s Green River, hiking in Utah’s wilderness, or walking through Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, scientists are finding that the more exposure humans have to nature, the more we can benefit from reduced anxiety, enhanced creativity, and overall well-being.

Multiple voices, recordings, and sound effects make me wonder how this would ever be made into a hard copy book. Very interesting stuff. Should come with a trigger warning though.

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name.

I honestly believe that this book will be mentioned in the history books. I was forced to face what I have been letting myself ignore for too long; the fear, anger, and disappointment of every person of color when another innocent person is taken. Read in way that deserves an award higher than any that yet available, you owe it to not only yourself but to society and any young person you care about to read or listen to this book.

The year was 1917. As a war raged across the world, young American women flocked to work, painting watches, clocks, and military dials with a special luminous substance made from radium. It was a fun job, lucrative and glamorous - the girls themselves shone brightly in the dark, covered head to toe in the dust from the paint. They were the radium girls. As the years passed, the women began to suffer from mysterious and crippling illnesses.

Dr. Robert Glover has dubbed the "Nice Guy Syndrome" trying too hard to please others while neglecting one's own needs, thus causing unhappiness and resentfulness. It's no wonder that unfulfilled Nice Guys lash out in frustration at their loved ones, claims Dr. Glover.

This book did more to help me figure out myself than 5 years of therapy. Absolutely nails the types of nice guys, what made us that way, why nothing ever seems to go our way, and most importantly; HOW TO CHANGE! I truly think this should be taught to everyone bc if you're not a nice guy you know one. When people questioned about serial killers say they were such nice guys, this explains why. I plan on listening to it at least 2 more times.
