Publisher's summary

Becoming Who We Need to Be is a book about the challenges we face as societies and how the decisions we make as individuals matter in those larger struggles.

How we seek out, filter, and parse knowledge shapes our understanding of ourselves and of the world. How we analyze, organize, and act upon this information influences how well our individual ideas and ideologies scale up to the societal level.

In both developing as individuals and evolving as groups, context matters. This is a book about broadening one's own context, and understanding how personal growth is related to societal wellbeing.

It’s hard to follow

Don’t get me wrong. Very informative, but the narration is PAINFUL. I Found myself paying more attention to that than the actual story.

Fantastic read/listen

Every bit as entertaining and thought provoking as Colin Wright's podcast, "Let's Know Things". Loved every minute!

Excellent book on what direction we could go as a people if we refuse to let governments ruin things!

I greatly enjoyed how the book flowed from beginning to end. It was a complicated set of topics that were well presented.

Thoroughly thought provoking

Colin is a brilliant man, and this is a good example of his polymath ways.

Insightful and pragmatic assessment.

Relevant to our accelerated technological era. Colin is great at including multiple perspectives in his writings.

Great content. Very poor narration.

I love the content. The ideas and insights really spark my interest and kept me listening, however the narration was extremely difficult to bear. I found my brain translating as it went a long. Like there was a constant delay in understanding and I’d miss certain points because of the effort it required. It sounds so second-hand AI and the inflections leave you wondering if you just heard a statement, a question or a computer glitch. I don’t know how this was approved for publication in audible. But seriously, if I had more time and energy, I’d read the book because of the content quality. Still listened to the whole audible despite disappointing audio.
