Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

Great listening experience

This was a great listening experience! The author goes into depth of the history of caffeine, it’s implications on a chemical, societal and behavioral level. It was easy to listen to and very interesting with many “a-ha”-moments.
Would absolutely recommend.

lacking creativity and imagination
Reviewed: 01-06-20
The lack of variety in the author's vocabulary was extremely disappointing, and it ended up ruining the stories for me. The concept sounded great, but I found that it was always the same framework with different names - all in all, it was just too repetitive to be enjoyable.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 149,540
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Get a kick in the butt with this one

Where does The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very high. I usually listen to books I've already read and that have more of a storyline to it. But this one is really well done!
What did you like best about this story?
The author's word choice might seem unorthodox to some, but he is telling the truth uncensored and as ugly as it is. I love the concept of his message and it opened my eyes to some things I didn't realize before.
Have you listened to any of Roger Wayne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I've listened to his work and I really liked it!
His voice carries the perfect amount of sarcasm for this book.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book was an eye-opener. The counterintuitive approach to being happy is really interesting and some things were so obvious that I felt quite stupid because I hadn't noticed them before. I really appreciated this book!
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,830
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

Would you listen to City of Bones again? Why?
I listen to it over and over. I love the story and the narrator's voice is so soothing.
What was one of the most memorable moments of City of Bones?
No spoilers for anyone ;)
What does Mae Whitman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
the way she uses her voice to emulate the characters is very good and her voice overall is soothing. it's a pleasure to listen to her
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Jace's humor and Clary's retorts always make me laugh or grin, while Simon's "anxious humor" makes me roll my eyes.
Any additional comments?
I just love this series. I highly recommend it!
