Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
In the small coastal city of Oran, Algeria, rats begin rising up from the filth only to die as bloody heaps in the streets. Shortly after, an outbreak of the bubonic plague erupts and envelops the human population. Albert Camus' The Plague is a brilliant and haunting rendering of human perseverance and futility in the face of a relentless terror born of nature.

O So Fascinating. Meticulous Indeed.

In order not to spend a most deserved length of time in typing this review, I shall hope to keep it short but true.
I had previously read another of his titles "The Fall" and although that was quite the mentally stimulating but complex literary read, this... this was magnificent in the most purest ways.
Although a seemingly lengthy read, it flies by fairly quickly due to the magnificent pacing and the satisfying, fruitful plot.
More than enough tragedy, irony and reflections of the human character in such a situation (as we may or may not be depending on your reading this).
Another master piece by the author, Camus.

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.

A Spectacular and Life-changing Read.

The wisdom from this man is quite inspirational. He refuses to completely disregard spirituality neither does he disregard science and basic biological and evolutionary beliefs. An almost perfect amalgamation of Facts and Faith.
I would highly refer this book to anyone on the fence of anything in life. This kind of critical and rational thinking is a large portion of what the world needs to become enlightened about its faults.

Just wow. I previously listened to "Hard Times Create Strong Men" and it is clear that there is a significant increase in the quality of story telling. Less repetition and it doesn't diminish the essence of the story and lesson.
Quite inspiring and especially needed for those with a strict, carnal mindset of the world. May he rest in peace.

What does it mean to be a man in the modern world? Throughout history, being a man has meant different things. Maybe being a man was about being a good hunter, or a good soldier, a good businessman, or maybe good with women. Hard Times Create Strong Men examines what it means to be a man in the modern world relative to money, sex, religion, and politics. This audiobook examines what worked and what doesn’t work based on proven history instead of feelings.
