Not an Audiobook, but a Waste of Time!

Would you try another book from Kurt Andersen and/or the narrator?

Wanted to use this for in class reading with my students and was really disappointed! It is simply a public television show featuring different people commenting on their perceptions of the book.Please do not give them your ninety five cents, because they were not upright in their description of this audio download.

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, Washington Post science writer Shankar Vedantam is the author of The Hidden Brain. He tells Jim Fleming how a great deal of our thinking is shaped by our unconscious minds, such as routine tasks we do automatically.

Next, novelist Siri Husvedt has an undiagnosed seizure disorder which afflicts her at unpredictable moments. She describes it in her book The Shaking Woman, Or a History of My Nerves. She tells Anne Strainchamps about her lifelong hypersensitivity to some kinds of stimuli and what she's concluded about the nature of the self and personal identity.

Then, we re-visit an old interview with the late Francis Crick where he lays out his "astonishing hypothesis," which is now the standard scientific view of consciousness.

After that, Steve Paulson talks with philosopher Alva Noë, author of Out of Our Heads: Why You Are Not Your Brain, and Other Lessons from the Biology of Consciousness. And we wind up stuck in Bladerunner.

And finally, Somu Shamdasani is a historian of psychology at University College, London, and editor of Carl Jung's Red Book.

". . . It's a way of love, y'know"

Continuing his series of interviews with any kind of celebrity he can get his hands on, producer extraordinaire Jorg Bobsin presents one of the more eclectic discussions you can find with Steven Seagal. This one touches on a lot of topics and doesnât get into many of them as deeply as you might hope, but thereâs still a lot of information here that you canât easily find in other places.

The immediate drawback of this is its price: unless theyâre to inform you how to quickly grow your own gold, no 18 minutes are worth $10. Nevertheless, as aforementioned, a lot of this information hasnât been reproduced since this oneâs release in early 2009, making it a cool, exclusive little trove for fans. Seagal touches on his earliest experiences learning the martial arts, his fondness of the Colt .45, his aversion to math, his conversion to Buddhism, his fears in life, the infamous âsex symbolâ quote attributed to him, why exactly he doesnât like Jean-Claude Van Damme, and several other topics. Thereâs also a snippet wherein heâs bothered by flies and calls for âJanetâ to bring him âthe clinical air spray.â Seagalâs confessions are fun, illuminating, and certainly sound authentic.

The interview is advertised as âUnabridged,â which may or may not be true since itâs definitely been edited. Bobsin includes a host of goofy, unnecessary sound effects and oftentimes you can hear a jump in the ambiance between when he asks a question and Seagal replies. I donât get the impression that their talk was doctored in a way to misrepresent Seagalâs words, but the file doesnât sound as polished or professional as you might hope for.

People who arenât fans of Steven Seagal should avoid this by default, and established fans just need to decide whether theyâre interested enough to lay down ten bucks for it. For half the price, Iâd recommend it more easily.
