It’s worth the listen. The author is kind of braggy, and some of his inspirational sources have since fallen from cultural grace. The overall message is still motivational though. I’m coming away from this book with several applicable tips. I hope he releases a new edition that pares out the chaff and adds some diversity. Don’t let the Bro vibe discourage you.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 136
For years now, modern-day sexual ethics has held that “anything goes” when it comes to sex—as long as everyone says yes, and does so enthusiastically. So why, even when consent has been ascertained, are so many of our sexual experiences filled with frustration, and disappointment, even shame? The truth is that the rules that make up today’s consent-only sexual code may actually be the cause of our sexual malaise—not the solution. In Rethinking Sex, reporter Christine Emba shows how consent is a good ethical floor but a terrible ceiling.

Nice but a little monotonous
Reviewed: 02-09-21
This book has an uplifting message, and the philosophy is worth considering.
The narrator delivers each testimony with identical sentiment, and since so many of the testimonies are similar, they blend into one another after a while.
Nevertheless, it will certainly help many bereaved listeners. It offers a hopeful perspective for anyone facing or considering the eventual end of their life.
The issue of suicide is handled respectfully and cautiously, in a way that can benefit survivors and likely dissuade anyone who may be contemplating taking their own life.
If you have a few extra credits or if you’re generally interested in the subject matter, it’s worth a listen.

When his mother passed away at the age of 78, Sherman Alexie responded the only way he knew how: He wrote. The result is this stunning memoir. Featuring 78 poems and 78 essays, Alexie shares raw, angry, funny, profane, tender memories of a childhood few can imagine - growing up dirt poor on an Indian reservation, one of four children raised by alcoholic parents. Throughout, a portrait emerges of his mother as a beautiful, mercurial, abusive, intelligent, complicated woman.

Poetic and poignant
Reviewed: 01-18-21
Alexie’s story and narration had me in tears several times because of its simple profundity, not sap. He commingles poetry and essay. His storytelling is nonlinear but cohesive. He’s honest about his dishonesty, but still nakedly honest. I’m so glad I listened to the audiobook. The poetry would not have been so vivid for me on the page.
