Story4.5 out of 5 stars 767
“This isn't strictly speaking an instructional manual, but a work of comedic philosophy.” Elvis Costello - songwriter, singer, author, and Fender Jazzmaster known to his admirers as “The Little Hands of Concrete” - spins his tale with wit, grit, and spit to spare. How to Play the Guitar and Y, Costello’s new entry into Audible’s Words + Music series, combines recitation, impersonation, and musical illustration to show you how to turn a three-chord trick into a four-chord caper and let your curiosity take you where it will.

Love Elvis’ work and didn’t know about his wit and sardonic humor- lovable- hilarious and good ending. Remember to play like we are children again. Just play.

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Did not know JP was a practicing Christian. some may be a little put off- I though it was wonderful.
Also unknown to me were his personal family hardships and challenges- well summarized in the final chapter and Coda.
His writing reminds me of Hemingway in that he is voluminous in his storytelling and vocabulary.
If I recall, PapaH took an entire chapter to describe one bullfight in ForWhomTheBellTolls?
You may find yourself going back to re-listen over a few passages.
Peterson is now a fave of mine and I joined his website/podcast. Going back for a 3rd listen and housework/home improvement.

An international conspiracy among powerful bankers, business leaders, and government officials; closed-door meetings in the Swiss Alps; and calls for a radical transformation of every society on earth - the Great Reset sounds like it is one henchman-with-an-eyepatch away from being the plot for the next James Bond movie. But The Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics.

Beck is a very good writer, historian, and narrator. The key take away here is not to use his material directly on your union Democrat brother. You must do the research and citations on your own!

Will he run in 2024? You bet he will. Will he be the GOP nominee? Absolutely. Will he win the election? Yes.The stakes of the next elections could not be higher. The Democrats won the election of 2020—sort of—and the disastrous consequences are already upon us. As he did in his 2016 New York Times best seller, Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary, renowned campaign strategist Dick Morris provides the road map for taking back the White House and the nation in this new book, The Return.

“Gimme’ 5 stars!”
Reviewed: 07-20-21
As recently retired seasoned citizen I hear all too many times, the millennial bro-call, “gimme 5 stars!”
But as my first sales manger always said, “nobody is perfect,” and so continued my string of 4’s every year on my performance review.
Gotta’ say, Bill, Martin, and Robert have changed my opinion on giving 5s.

I feel a little bludgeoned but I love Gary.
Reviewed: 01-31-21
I have all of Gary’s titles on audible and I’ve listened to them all, more than once. My only concern with WAFL is the last chapter, or actually the last three chapters, seem to run together a little bit.
I’m not sure we needed chapter 12 at all as the making a contribution and “being a player” could’ve been easily immersed in 10 and 11.
But I’m not a writer, he is, and I love his work. I’ve shared a couple audiobooks with my family and I’ve bought this title for my 30-something daughters.
By the way I’m 64 years old retired, and wayy too comfortable. My only saboteur is, myself. Be wise, Brian Mac, Hudson Ohio January 2021.
PS Gary- are you working on teens and pre-teen stuff? I sometimes have to rip my 9 year old granddaughter off the IPad to get to soccer?

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.
