Ah, American Psycho. Such a cult classic book.
I read this via an audiobook and I thought it was a well-crafted novel. I love the atmosphere that Brett Easton Ellis creates, but more than anything I appreciate his details in the novel. I love how he mentions brand names, streets, specific restaurants and how he describes Patrick Bateman's world, and how he interacts with it.
If anyone else had written it, it might seem like too much to spend an almost entire chapter talking about Bateman's morning routine, the facial masks, the exact number of push ups in his work out, what foods make up his breakfast and where he purchased them. But I loved it.
There are a couple of scenes that I remember vividly - and some scenes where I couldn't look away.
It is very graphic, and people who are triggered by very graphic material should be careful.
But the writing is brilliant, and it is a good book. c:
Un romanzo insieme terribile e comico.
My Review:
i know for a fact that i never took this long to finish a book , an entire week!
but God this was so boring!
i started this book with high expectations, i heard good things about it , and wanted to read it before watching the movie . well , i was terribly disappointed .
the first half of the book was so awfully boring , the only thing it offered me is some fashion rants - that went on for pages and pages- and useless conversations about food or girls and money ( maybe some other things too , i couldn't focus much , it was THAT boring)
i had to skim through it to be able to finish it without burning the book.
the second part however was a bit better ( still boring most of the times) , yet his true psycho self started to have a presence in the story and took actions rather than few provocative words .
i did enjoy reading about what he did to his victims ( pretty sick huh?) at least it was a bit interesting , i do believe it's too graphic and violent , absolutely disgusting too , but it sent emotions in me , shock , disgust , horror , surprise . unlike the other parts where i just want to hit my head on the wall rather than read them .
there were a lot of times where i felt the character was too much of a misogynist , bet then again , we're talking about a psychopath here!
i didn't enjoy the way the story was told , many other characters were absent most of the times , and the author focused too much on Patrick's thoughts ( which were boring , many about clothes) . and we witnessed the events from only his perspective , so we always know what to expect .
the ending was also another disappointment , a bit all over the place and hard to understand .
maybe this book was destined to a different category of people , but i didn't enjoy it at all . so i won't recommend it to anyone really.
i will only give it 2 starts because the killing scenes were good.
this is a crazy ride. the full chapter (or nearly) on the genius of huey lewis and the news is worth the read.
i'm thinking this has some commentary on 80's american culture. a rare book where the movie is better.
it's hilarious and sickening, sometimes simultaneously.
a must read if you haven't and you are in your 40's.
Last read in 2005, and now re-read as part of a chronological reading of all of Bret Easton Ellis's novels up to 'Lunar Park' in order to appreciate the latter novel and to have a grounding for the opening chapter in Graham Matthews's book 'Ethics and desire in the wake of postmodernism' (2012): 'Fear and uncertainty in BEE's 'Lunar Park'.
2016 is the 25th anniversary of publication - and several factors surprised me, not least that Donald Trump is the revered icon of this Wall Street rat pack, sightings (usually false), invitations to his parties, the reading of his 1987 book 'The art of the deal' ("He makes one believe in the American Dream again" - The New York Times) are de rigueur. That DT is now running for President is both bizarre and disturbing, no doubt an irony that BEE would view as a logical progression as these lost souls hover around Hades successfully alienating working class Americans, women, immigrants and beggars, not to mention Bateman's additional cruelties.
The endless commodification doesn't necessarily date the book, though I'm not that au fait with what's in or out these days, I did find that they added quaintness & flavour, with so many named brands that I did recognize still fighting it out at the 'top' 25 years on. Re-reading was a very different experience, I'd forgotten so much, and the book was a lot funnier than I remember it.
The absence of books (Trump excepted) and the emphasis on film and music - video cassettes and CDs, chimed with my experience when I mentioned to friends that I was re-reading AP - almost all asked if I'd seen the film? Most hadn't read the book; no I've not seen the film - it sits unwatched in a dark cupboard beneath the HD Panasonic TV 27-inch-wide screen with enhanced cinema sound and sub... I don't think I should see the film, apart from my tolerances (growing less as I get older) 'the horror' is best imagined.
It is a classic book of late capitalist grand guignol and it still chomps at the nerves 25 years on.
There are literally pages and pages of this, and pages and pages of the sort of half-witty, half-bright dialogue and behaviour that goes with it: one repeatedly has the sense that inside this 399-page novel about a serial killer, a 120-page novella about spoilt rich kids in New York is wildly signalling to be let out. […] The descriptions of the killings are as inert, and therefore as gratuitous, as one fears they will be.
This man Bret Easton Ellis is a very, very good writer. He gets us to a T. And we can't stand it. It's our problem, not his. American Psycho is a beautifully controlled, careful, important novel which revolves about its own nasty bits. Brilliant.
You get the feeling that Mr. Ellis began writing his novel with a single huge emotion of outrage, and that he never in his three years of working on it paused to modulate that emotion or to ask if it was helping to construct an imaginary world. How else could he have written scenes so flat and tedious that the reader wants to scream? Surely not with profit or exploitation in mind. If so, commercialism has never before produced anything so boring.

Disease Overview
Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are epithelial tumors of the thymus. The term, thymoma, is customarily used to describe neoplasms that show no overt atypia of the epithelial component. A thymic epithelial tumor that exhibits clear-cut cytologic atypia and histologic features no longer specific to the thymus is known as a thymic carcinoma (also known as type C thymoma).[1]

This summary contains the following key information: Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils (also known as volatile...
Incidence and Mortality
Invasive thymomas and thymic carcinomas are relatively rare tumors, which together represent about 0.2% to 1.5% of all malignancies.[2] The overall incidence of thymoma is 0.15 cases per 100,000, based on data from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program.[3] Thymic carcinomas are rare and have been reported to account for only 0.06% of all thymic neoplasms.[4] In general, thymomas are indolent tumors with a tendency toward local recurrence rather than metastasis. Thymic carcinomas, however, are typically invasive, with a higher risk of relapse and death.[5,6]
Age at onset
Most patients with thymoma or thymic carcinoma are aged 40 through 60 years.[7]
Unique disease features
The etiology of these types of tumors is not known. In about 50% of the patients, thymomas/thymic carcinomas are detected by chance with plain-film chest radiography.[7]
Ninety percent of thymomas and thymic carcinomas occur in the anterior mediastinum.[8] They are the most common malignancies of the anterior mediastinum.[9]
World Health Organization pathologic classification of tumors of the thymus and stage correlate with prognosis.[1] Although some thymoma histologic types are more likely to be invasive and clinically aggressive, treatment outcome and the likelihood of recurrence appear to correlate more closely with the invasive/metastasizing properties of the tumor cells.[1,10] Therefore, some thymomas that appear to be relatively benign by histologic criteria may behave very aggressively. Independent evaluations of both the tumor invasiveness (using staging criteria) and tumor histology should be combined to predict the clinical behavior of a thymoma.
Thymoma and thymic carcinoma should be differentiated from a number of nonepithelial thymic neoplasms, including the following:[1,11]
- Neuroendocrine tumors.
- Germ cell tumors.
- Lymphomas.
- Stromal tumors.
- Tumor-like lesions (such as true thymic hyperplasia).
- Thymic cysts.
- Metastatic tumors.
- Lung cancer.

With my background in technology I have particular interest and stronger circle of competence in tech stocks, although I venture from this domain to certain other industries as well where I feel the businesses are simple and understandable or where I have particular first hand knowledge.
I consider myself a value investing enthusiast, following a bottom up fundamental analysis style approach. My value investing approach is quite simple - I look to "figure out the value of something, and pay a lot less".
I do not consider Growth and Value stocks as mutually exclusive, and in fact my favorite investments are:
small cap companies with good long term growth prospects,
strong business fundamentals
low financial leverage,
trading at an attractive valuation, and with some sort of short term difficulties that have caused the market perception to be negative in the short term.
To value companies I use a variety of techniques, sometimes heavily favoring traditional value metrics like P/B, and also I like good business (ROIC, ROE) trading at attractive multiples against EBITDA. I do discounted cash flow analysis where appropriate, and in some cases favor heavily on comparative valuation.
Searching for quality companies with some misunderstanding by the market. Long only.

The enormous advancement in the biological sciences that is taking place has begun to change the traditional way of practicing medicine. Far-reaching biological products are being approved and news about breakthroughs are occupying the media headlines. However, selecting the biotechnology firms for investment requires not only an understanding of the company's finances, but also deep knowledge of the company's potential and the potential and scientific validity of it's products and technologies.
Our Mission is evaluating biotechnology companies, their products, their technologies, scientists, managements, as well as their finances. Our goal is to impart our readers with the knowledge and insight so that they may have a heightened understanding and appreciation for the biotechnology industry.

Alan Brochstein, CFA, was the first investment professional to devote himself to sharing his observations about the cannabis industry from an investor's perspective publicly. He runs 420 Investor, a subscription-based due diligence platform for investors interested in the publicly-traded cannabis stocks and is also the founder of New Cannabis Ventures, a content aggregation site focused on investors and entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry.
Alan has worked in the securities industry since 1986, primarily with the responsibility for managing investments in institutional environments until he founded AB Analytical Services in 2007 in order to provide independent research and consulting to registered investment advisors. In addition to advising several different hedge funds and investment managers, including Friedberg Investment Management, where he participated as a member of its investment management committee, Alan was also a senior analyst for the independent research firm Management CV. In 2008, he began providing a first-of-its-kind subscription-based service for individual investors, Invest By Model, which offered two different portfolios that investors could replicate in their own accounts for $20 per month. Alan also offered The Analytical Trader at Marketfy, where he used fundamental and technical analysis in a disciplined process to offer specific trade ideas geared towards swing traders.
Alan launched www.420Investor.com in late 2013 as the premier source of information for "Green Rush" investors seeking to capitalize on the proliferation of legalized medical and recreational cannabis. In March 2014, Alan, who is a member of the National Cannabis Industry Association, began to focus solely on the cannabis sector. He launched www.NewCannabisVentures.com in late 2015.
You can follow Alan on Facebook (www.facebook.com/420investor) or on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Invest420). Alan also moderates a large LinkedIn group focused on the cannabis industry, Cannabis Investors & Entrepreneurs (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/6523904)

I focus on the microcap space (market cap below $250 million) because it is one of the most inefficient and "alpha rich" areas of the global equity market, which provides the greatest opportunity to generate alpha through fundamental research.
I use a bottom up, investment decision making process. The ideal investment has an asymmetric risk/return profile with a limited downside (e.g. high net cash balance, strong cash flow) and significant upside (e.g. asset value extraction, overlooked business model transition).
Microcaps are particularly attractive to the following groups:
Activist investors. A small absolute investment (on a dollar basis) can be leveraged into a relatively large position (as a percentage of shares outstanding), which provides a greater ability to demand change.
Private equity firms. The persistent microcap discount can be "arbed away" via an LBO with the new owners accruing all of the gains for themselves. The small absolute size of many microcaps on an EV basis significantly expands the number of firms able to pursue this strategy.
This inefficiency exists for several reasons.
A lack of analyst coverage due to lower trading volume (less soft dollars from HF/MF), the global settlement that permanently severed the link between research/banking and the rise in electronic trading/decimalization. Moreover, none of these trends are likely to reverse for the foreseeable future (if ever).
A lack of institutional products given the natural capacity constraint for new/existing managers.
An inability to effectively implement a passive approach (e.g. ETFs, index funds) due to the lower liquidity and wider bid/ask spread. However, each of these obstacles can be overcome by using a combination of electronic trading tools (e.g. algos) and patience in building a positive size.
Inaccurate and persistent misconceptions about microcaps (e.g. they are riskier than larger cap stocks).
I currently trade for my personal account but would like to move into the investment management side of the industry.

I am an individual investor. My professional background is in the finance area. I have managed my own investments for over 30 years. For most of that time, my focus was on portfolio building using individual stocks. About 5 years ago, I shifted my focus to investing via ETFs. I have found that this has greatly simplified my investment style yet simultaneously increased the scope and diversification of my portfolio.
I firmly believe that the benefits of investing, and the market, should be understandable and available to everyone, including individuals who may have little or no financial background. My hope is to explain concepts simply, taking much of the mystery and accompanying fear out of the process. I look forward to enjoying the journey with everyone who decides to follow me, and hope I can make a difference in someone's life.

How should you focus your search marketing efforts? A free webinar this week explores the differences and advantages of several different approaches to search marketing.
Until recently, the most effective way to get good search engine traffic was to spend time and money "optimizing" web pages to achieve high rankings. Now, anyone can get top rankings simply by placing the highest bids for specific keywords that appear as "sponsored listings."
But those results are "leased" — the moment you stop outbidding your competition you get tossed off the top of the heap. This webinar explores the differences between "leased" and "purchased" search engine results, a concept first introduced to SearchDay readers by guest writer Susan O'Neil.
I'll also look at the whole concept of "investing" in search marketing, and how to balance the mix of techniques and approaches to best meet your own needs.
This webinar is free to qualified attendees, and will last about 45-50 minutes. There will also be a Q & A session at the end of the presentations.

Novel polymer microspheres containing zinc porphyrins are synthesized by one-step copolymerization with high yield. Because of the porphyrin assemblies, the polymer microspheres exhibit higher color purity and better monochromaticity of the red fluorescence in solution and in the solid state than ZnAOTPP monomer. This indicates that the polymer microspheres can be promising red-light-emitting materials.

Analysis of the reaction products and the kinetics of the thermal degradation of poly(glycidol) (PG) and its two derivatives, poly(glycidol)-g-L-lactide (PG-g-La) and poly(glycidol)-g-glycolide (PG-g-Gly), is performed. The results suggest that in the two-step degradation of the PG derivative, the first step is associated with decomposition of the pendant groups and the second is due to degradation of the PG backbone.

Differences in the reported values of the electrical conductivity and optical switching range of PEDOT are analyzed. It is shown that these differences can partially be attributed to the measurement protocols used rather than to any intrinsic differences as a result of synthesis. An examination of various measurement protocols highlights the range of reported values that are possible.

|Reviews for To Save The World
| philosophik1 chapter 2 . 7/30
Tons of action and we meet Shadow Night, the anti hero, who disappears and leaves the heroes in a bind. I like how you finished the chapter, leaving us wondering what happened to the plane. I suspect it's not what we think. Good job.
| TheFlameBlade chapter 27 . 7/30
Hey good to see this story didn't get abandoned. I'm glad you gave us at least something. And honestly I think it's smart that you're writing really far ahead before posting even if it takes a bit longer for each chapter to be posted. Anyway great chapter as usual. Can't wait to see what's next.
| Omega1012 chapter 27 . 7/30
Welcome back,cant wait for more
| Patrick Driscoll chapter 27 . 7/29
I was so excited to see another chapter of this had been published, keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what unfolds next.
| TriggerFR chapter 27 . 7/29
Really like your work; keep going!
| Iris King chapter 26 . 6/26
Ohmygod so I was re-reading the stuff again from the beginning, and I have to say I really cannot wait for what happens next. I also like your writing style, too. Keep up the good work ω
| Ezraphell chapter 26 . 9/9/2015
Went through and reread the entire thing today, from beginning to current, and I must say you're writing has greatly improved over the time writing this. I know you've been frequent with hiatuses because of real life and junk but you've gone from heavily front loading descriptions and actions to adding things in more subtly making everything just that much more fluid. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see how the rest unfolds

| omega1012 chapter 20 . 10/26/2014
dun dun...its good to see you back hopefully my oc will get a appearance sometime,loving how you write as always !
| Anne Onymous chapter 2 . 8/17/2014
Interesting so far! I'm in a superhero phase, and this was almost the only actual superhero story I could find on this website, so of course it was. But the idea's creative, and I automatically respect/fear anyone who can write . . . how many was it?-let me check . . . over 24,000 words. The only multi-chapter story I ever finished (at about age 12, so it's horrible and won't get published here) was only 64 pages.
At first I thought all the visual description was unnecessary, but then-it's a /superhero/ story, and you always have to know what a superhero and his costume look like, or you don't know the superhero. (Hm, maybe I should try and break that rule in a story, and see what I get.) Also, I'd read the reviews first (I almost always do that, I'm weird) so I knew who most of the people looked like already, but normal and sane readers wouldn't.
| CSquid offline chapter 21 . 6/27/2014
Oh my god I haven't reviewed in forever! I've totally been reading the first second I can whenever a new chapter pops up, don't worry about that part :3
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT ROMEO HDJDBDJD AT ONE POINT SOMEONE IN MY ENGLISH CLASS STARTED CALLING THE MONTAGUES THE WILDCATS and it may or may not have been me oops. Also the funniest thing had to be my teacher trying to block out the butt shot but failing and we all laughed like 6-year-olds
I know someone named Alejandra *watches her more closely than normal*
JOEY WATCHU WORKIN WITH and I feel like his character is inspired by DW (his powers remind me of the Last Centurion and his technology reminds me of the Doctor) AND I LOVE IT YASSSSS. Also gET HIM TO THAT ARCADE HE HASNT LIVVVVED
Dammit Lakota don't you start trouble now (jkjk Lakota go for it it gives us stuff to read about)
So excited for the next chapter! But don't rush yourself; can't rush art like your writing 3

Connect with all your instant messaging contacts
Articles Meebo
Meebo allows you to connect and chat with friends across multiple instant messaging networks.
This free web application works in a similar way as Yahoo! Messenger or Windows Live Messenger. The differences are that Meebo requires no download, and you can chat to buddies across different IM and social media networks from the same interface.
Import your contacts
Meebo supports lots of the major IM clients and top social networks, including Facebook, Windows Live, Yahoo!, AIM and Google Talk. It also integrates with lesser-known services, such as Yonja, Dance Trippin, Ultimate Guitar and FooPets. The most notable omission is Skype, which is not supported by Meebo.
Using Meebo's accounts console, you can add all your network accounts very easily, enabling or disabling them individually if you want. All of your online and offline contacts appear in the tidy Buddy List console. Here you can manage all of your contacts, search for buddies and start group chats. The Buddy List can even be popped out, so it pulls away from the browser and can be used like a normal desktop app.
Chatting with Meebo
Double-clicking on a contact in the Meebo Buddy List will launch a chat window, from where you can start IM-ing your buddy. Chat options include changing the text font, size and color and choosing from a range of smilies (albeit a limited range).
There are plenty of cool chat features in Meebo. You can make audio and video calls, send files and play games, all via the chat window. The app also keeps a record of your chat history and allows you to view user profiles.
Meebo also has a 'Rooms' feature which allows you to set up private chat rooms and invite different contacts to join. These rooms are designed to offer an easy way for you and your buddies to watch online video and looking photos together. Paste in a URL from a site like YouTube, Google Video or Flickr, and you'll all be able to enjoy the content at the same time, in Meebo's integrated player. Unfortunately, this feature failed to work at all during our tests.
What else you can do
Your Meebo experience can be customized via the Preferences menu. Here you can adjust your IM settings, and also personalize the Meebo interface from choosing from a range of themed wallpapers.
Besides the main web app itself, Meebo has plenty of other tools to help you keep in touch with your friends. For instance, there's a mobile app for Android and iPhone devices, a Firefox extension that displays instant notifications, and a desktop-based notifier, too.
Meebo is a fun and practical tool that helps you keep in touch with all of your online friends from the same place.

wow, They are really asking for trouble. That is all the other drivers need is an additional distraction. Motorists act crazy enough around school buses as it is. In addition to the distraction, and safety hazard that creates, the ads are most certainly going to offend someone. The school districts need to work with the state, as well as the contractors, and find a better, and safer solution!

August 5, 2008 12:24 PM - New Scientist Tech
El Niño events periodically wreak havoc on the world's weather, increasing the risk of hurricanes and flooding in some regions, and droughts and forest fires in others.

A wild week–and month–finished with little damage done to stocks.
The S&P 500 ticked up 0.2% this week after rising 0.8% to 2,168.27 today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.3% this week after gaining 164.70 points, or 0.9%, to 18,308.15. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1% this week after advancing 0.8% to 5,312.00 today.
This week was all about sectors bets. The S&P 500 Energy sector rose 4.6% this week on the back of Opec's agreement–one that still needs to be enacted–to limit the production of oil. The S&P 500 Financial sector dropped 1.4% as it was whipsawed by fears about Deutsche Bank (DB). Utilities tumbled 3.9% as investors stayed away from yield sensitive sectors on hopes/fears of a December rate hike. And the S&P 500 Health Care sector fell 1.4% because drug pricing is still a target for politicians everywhere.
Speaking of politics, UBS strategist Julian Emanuel argues that uncertainty around the presidential election will lead to more volatility for the stock market:
Energy stocks continued their strong performance following Opec's potential agreement to limit oil production–and no energy stock in the S&P 500 was stronger today than Southwestern Energy (SWN).
Southwestern jumped 4.8% to $13.84 today, easily topping the S&P 500′s 0.8% rise to 2,168.27, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF's (XLE) 1.4% gain to $70.61.
Southwestern Energy drills primarily for natural gas, not oil, but Opec's agreement, if put into action, should lift all boats. Evercore ISI's James West and team write that the Algier's framework "is a big step forward." They explain why:
Citigroup's Robert Morris and David Zutter explain why they upgraded Encana (ECA) to Buy from Neutral:
Rockwell Automation (ROK) is soaring today thanks to an upgrade from Bernstein's Steven Winoker and team, who raised the industrial stock to Market Perform from Underperform. They offer four reasons for their less bearish outlook on Rockwell:
Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) is getting a lot of love today. Pacific Crest's Edward Yruma and team started Wal-Mart at Overweight today, noting that the company is "getting back to retail 101." They explain:
When it comes to Walt Disney (DIS), the speculation machine never seems to stop. In recent days, it's been the subject of talk that it may be interested in buying struggling social-media company Twitter (TWTR). Today, however, rumors of a potential Netflix (NFLX) acquisition appear to be making the rounds, according to the Fly on the Wall.
These rumors aren't new. Back in April…
Shares of Costco Wholesale (COST) have jumped today after the big-box retailer reported far better-than-expected earnings after yesterday's close. Credit Suisse analysts Michael Exstein and Christine Lee note that Costco is one of the only retailers left standing in the growth universe. They explain:
Yesterday, the market's sizable drop was blamed on Deutsche Bank (DB) I guess we can credit the German banking giant for today's big gain then.
The S&P 500 has risen 0.8% to 2,168.36 at 12:01 p.m. today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 168.68 points, or 0.9%, to 18,312.13. The Nasdaq Composite has advanced 0.8% to 5,309.89.
The Lindsey Group's Peter Boockvar points to reports that Deutsche Bank might have reached a much smaller settlement than what the Department of Justice had been aiming for, and explains why that's good news:
After meeting with United Continental's (UAL) management, UBS analysts Darryl Genovesi and David Strauss contend that the carrier might finally increase its profit margins. They explain why:
Earnings reports, corporate strategies and analyst insights are all part of what moves stocks, and they're all covered by the Stocks to Watch blog.

"One of the best books I have read on happiness"
This is one of the best books I have read on perception, time, deliberation and happiness. And I like the writing style.
"Interesting but trying to hard to be funny."
I got this audio book because I heard Daniel Gilbert on a TED talk. He was very interesting and the TED talk was funny and informative. The book is informative and I could tell Daniel was trying to be funny many times in the book to keep it entertaining. Unfortunately it was nothing like the TED talk. He was trying to be funny but every time he tried the punch word at the end of his line it fell flat for me. I know the book was not marketed as a comedy but it felt like I was listening to a bad comedian. I would not say to Daniel to give up on the humor. It may just need a little adjustment.
"Not what I expected. Not very helpful."
The book was like taking a Behavioral Class. Not recommended.
Hard to follow.
There were no scenes.
Very boring,
"Everything I wanted and more"
Well written and narrated. I loved that this book delivers the how any why behind what makes us happy. I also enjoyed that Daniel Gilbert is an expert in his field, you can even view him on Netflix's This Emotional Life which goes along great with the book.
I was impressed that he wrote and narrated the book. He does a good job and have a very relaxing voice.
If you are interested in understanding or increasing your happiness I highly recommend this book!
Say something about yourself!
"Entertaining psychology"
Science of happiness! After listening, you will love the book or at least know that the reason you didn't is not due to the book's qualities, but due to your own imperfections, and that these imperfections are to your own advantage. This last part wasn't clear? Well, read the book, you'll understand. And the author does a great job entertaining you while telling you about his science!
I would listen to the book again because the information has been instrumental in helping me to understand my own flawed thinking and decisions.
It has helped me to give more credence to the experiences of my friends. I am much more open about accepting the advice/experiences of similar minded people who are going through many of the same scenarios.
"Good book, but not very applicable to real life"
the narration was hilarious. Its very well written. But it's TOO scientific for most people. There are hundreds of studies sourced and it just gets soo cumbersome that it falls more in the "interesting" category than "useful" category.
The writing was very funny, and keeps your mind engaged. Props there!
Amazing book with lots of great insights into the human condition. Gilbert's narration makes the material come alive. Highly recommend to anyone who loves the work of Malcolm Gladwell.
"The big problem with this book..."
The book is brilliantly written and excellently delivered by the author. I don't think you can call the author's rendering 'a performance', you can hear him think as he reads to you.So what is the big problem with this book? Well, my problem was withdrawal! I had a very hard time listening to another audiobook after this one. It took me a couple of weeks before I could get the audible app fired up without shutting it down after 30s... Prof Gilbert, kudos for a brilliantly written and fabulously well read book!
"Happily Stumbled on Stumbling on Happiness"
Yes, because it is entertaining and informative, can be listened to in a day or two, and brings life back into perspective. Daniel Gilbert narrates wonderfully, and had my attention the whole way through.
I found it interesting that people fill in the blind spot of their imagination by collecting information that works in their favour, such as looking at advertisements for the expensive car they've bought and telling themselves that they are learning the facts when really they're looking at one-sided information showing advantages only. Or how people ask questions in such a way as to get a positive reply.
Daniel Gilbert
Egos exposed: the nitty gritty of what makes us happy.
This is a book I'll recommend to my friends.
