What does this FastReads Summary & Analysis include?

Original Book Summary Overview

In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday explores how the poison of ego shrouds everyday life and hinders mastery and success. He defines ego as the child inside each of us that insists on getting its way and becoming superior to everyone else. Ego keeps you from forming meaningful relationships, from realizing the extent of your skills, from learning and from discovering the opportunities around you. Guarding against ego requires constant practice. The payoff is in becoming a happier, balanced, content, humble and selfless person.

terrible terrible narrator!

This is my first fast read book. I thought the essence and the format were excellent and I would have rated it higher. But the narrator was absolutely terrible. I cannot understand how this person or persons were selected. sorry for the negativity but I wanted to warn you so you would be aware.

Publisher's Summary:

From the internationally best-selling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before.

How to understand yourself and everyone else, too.

In Gretchen Rubin's practical and authoritative examination, The Four Tendencies, the best-selling author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project identifies the four personality types that motivate everything we do.

When writing about habits for her last book, Gretchen Rubin stumbled on the biggest discovery of her life - the Four Tendencies. The tendencies describe how a person responds to motivation and how that affects family dynamics, happiness, work, and organisations. Investigating the Four Tendencies quickly became the most challenging and important project Gretchen had ever embarked upon.

A pleasurable listen that also serves as an authoritative reference on a breakthrough personality framework, The Four Tendencies identifies the qualities of Upholders, Questioners, Obligers and Rebels, examining each in depth while also discussing how it interacts with the world.

For listeners this audiobook provides a self-assessment that will empower them to change their actions, overcome stubborn hurdles and improve relationships. When applied to a family, team or work setting, the framework unlocks tension so leaders can be effective and groups can be productive.

For years Gretchen Rubin has encouraged listeners to be their best selves. The Four Tendencies, infused with Gretchen's optimistic spirit and sharp observations, will help them make their lives happier, healthier, more productive and more creative.

Members Reviews:

Surprisingly thought-provoking

I don't usually like these kind of self-help personality-typing books (I now know that's because I fall into the Questioner tendency!), but I liked Gretchen's Happiness Project book, so I thought I'd give this a try. It's surprisingly well researched and written, with practical advice and lots of examples of how to deal with people who respond differently to internal and external expectations. It even works well as an audiobook - clearly read by the author, and a good length, too. I annoyed my husband by telling him all about it between listening sessions - that's usually a sign of a thought-provoking title!

You really need to go online to do the quiz, though - very difficult to follow in audio format.

Useful guide to understand others

It is really interesting but a little bit repetitive. The message is clear and useful.

Illuminating

Absolutely illuminating! I feel like I know myself and my family better. Now that I know two members of my family are rebels, I hope to feel less frustrated by them. I now understand why I cant take a trip without extensive and exhaustive research - questioner!!

a very enjoyable audiobook

i love Gretchins narration... and the book is just so interesting to listen to....

Excellent & Fascinating!

I love hearing Authors read their own books. Gretchen is informative, easy on the ear and presents this book in her own style. She offers thought provoking text and now I am trying to work out my children's tendency. I am an obliger married to a rebel (I think!) still trying to work it out fully. Her podcast is excellent too - Happier

Title: Summary, Analysis, and Review of Michael Lewis's The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

Author: Start Publishing Notes

Narrator: Michael Gilboe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-04-17

Publisher: Start Publishing Notes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Please note: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Michael Lewis's The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "about the author" section.

Michael Lewis, the author of the successful book-turned-movie Moneyball, found inspiration for his new book in a review by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. Writing in The New Republic, Thaler and Sunstein argued that the ideas in Moneyball were not original. Rather, Moneyball was a good illustration of ideas that had originated from two Israeli psychologists named Daniel (Danny) Kahenam and Amos Tversky. Lewis had never heard these names before and he was intrigued. Lewis then introduces listeners to our main protagonists, Danny and Amos. First, Lewis discusses Danny Kahenman. Danny had survived World War II, partly by evading concentration camps and moving to Israel had taught him that people were very strange. His interest in psychology was as a means to study philosophy. He wanted to understand the world through understanding the people who lived in it. Why, for example, when there is a regime that has as its goal the extermination of Jews, do some Jewish people recognize the threat and escape, while others remain and die?

Title: Neuroscience Fundamentals

Narrator: Andrea Giordani

Format: Unabridged

Length: 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-01-17

Publisher: IntroBooks

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

In the years since this encounter with my mother, I have developed some terminology to capture and communicate what I experienced. I've come to call what I experienced the process of being known. This is a much deeper and richer experience than simply knowing the bare facts of my story. It reflects what neuroscience and related disciplines are teaching us about what it means to live an integrated life - both as an individual and as part of a community. My experiments and their subsequent results allowed me experience all the joy and excitement as I get to observe neuroscience reaching new heights through its latest groundbreaking discoveries.

Title: Scienceblind

Subtitle: Why Our Intuitive Theories About the World Are So Often Wrong

Author: Andrew Shtulman

Narrator: Barry Abrams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Humans are born to create theories about the world - unfortunately, they're usually wrong, and keep us from understanding the world as it really is. Why do we catch colds? What causes seasons to change? And if you fire a bullet from a gun and drop one from your hand, which bullet hits the ground first? In a pinch, we almost always get these questions wrong. Worse, we regularly misconstrue fundamental qualities of the world around us.

In Scienceblind, cognitive and developmental psychologist Andrew Shtulman shows that the root of our misconceptions lies in the theories about the world we develop as children. They're not only wrong, they close our minds to ideas inconsistent with them, making us unable to learn science later in life. So how do we get the world right? We must dismantle our intuitive theories and rebuild our knowledge from its foundations. The reward won't just be a truer picture of the world, but clearer solutions to many controversies - around vaccines, climate change, or evolution - that plague our politics today.

Critic Reviews:

"[A] fascinating, empathetic book.... Mr. Shtulman distills some useful ways to improve science education in the classroom and for the adult public." (Wall Street Journal)

Members Reviews:

A bit too simple

If you are curious about science, this is a very interesting book. If your science level is anything above 7th grade... Then this is just boring.

Title: Positive Disintegration

Author: Kazimierz Dabrowski M.D. Ph.D.

Narrator: Dave Young

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-07-17

Publisher: Maurice Bassett

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Kazimierz Dabrowski refers to his view of personality development as the theory of positive disintegration. He defines disintegration as disharmony within the individual and in his adaptation to the external environment. Anxiety, psychoneurosis, and psychosis are symptoms of disintegration. In general, disintegration refers to involution, psychopathology, and retrogression to a lower level of psychic functioning. Integration is the opposite: evolution, psychic health, and adequate adaptation, both within the self and to the environment.

Dabrowski postulates a developmental instinct-that is, a tendency of man to evolve from lower to higher levels of personality. He regards personality as primarily developing through dissatisfaction with, and fragmentation of, the existing psychic structure-a period of disintegration - and finally a secondary integration at a higher level. Dabrowski feels that no growth takes place without previous disintegration. He regards symptoms of anxiety, psychoneurosis, and even some symptoms of psychosis as the signs of the disintegration stage of this evolution, and therefore not always pathological.

Members Reviews:

A very compelling theory erratic

The narration was hard to listen to, with strange, random intonation that confused me at times. The theory itself however is worth the listen.

Title: Narcissist: Lover, Dream Fulfiller, Cheater, Liar

Author: J. B. Snow

Narrator: William Bahl

Format: Unabridged

Length: 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-17

Publisher: JB Snow Publishing

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Most people know that the narcissist is nearly always a cheat. He is constantly grooming more and more narcissistic supply (love, adoration, fear, admiration) from those who are willing to bless him with it. He collects friends on Facebook and at work - friends who can serve as alternate partners. He even tests the waters with long-term friends from childhood, despite being sexually unattracted to them for all intents and purposes.

Nearly anyone is a potential partner for the narcissist. He will consider dating friends and coworkers, even those who are married to someone else. The narcissist tries to always remain in contact with past lovers. He poses as being their "friend" even long after he discards the relationship. He might use children in common to control a past lover to cause them to remain in contact with him even when they don't want to be in his life.

The narcissist could not continue having a relationship with them, lest he be smothered or get bored with them by daily contact with them. But he keeps them around to serve his own purposes for most of his life. He knows that it is not easy to get friends and lovers, thus the narcissist is hesitant to let anyone from his past go. He must keep them around in case he gets too old to gain new friends and lovers, thus his narcissistic supply might run out if he does not keep the old ones still in his loop.

To understand the need for contact with past lovers, one must understand the hoarding and collecting habits of the narcissist. Maslow's hierarchy of human needs pyramid shows sex, love, affection, personal security, and other things which are crucial to the survival and happiness of a human being. This pertains to all human beings, including the narcissist.

The narcissist has severe needs deprivation for much of his life, both due to his caregivers being narcissistic and due to his own deficits. He is deprived by his parents of physical touch. He is deprived by his learning deficits. He is shunned by his peers. He is outcast. He rarely ever fits in. He does not understand social cues. He does not understand the intentions of others. These concepts are out of reach to the narcissist.

One might think that the narcissist is intelligent and that he has a high IQ. The truth of the matter is that most narcissists, in fact, have lower-end IQ levels. They often specialize in one or two things that they are extremely intelligent in (usually the sciences or technology), but they are not a jack-of-all-trades type of personality. They cannot easily learn and adapt like others with a high IQ can learn and adapt.

The narcissist is rooted in a life of repetitiveness, compulsiveness, obsessiveness, inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and inane routines. The narcissist freaks out if his routine is broken.

Narrator is eccentric

Someone called wildmike from audible.co.uk said: "Like being told how to shape your thinking by a hybrid of an old school linguaphone tutor and a children's TV presenter from the 70s. Has it moments but is ever so slightly patronising."

I've never read a review describing an audiobook so perfectly. It's exactly like that. The narrator is an hybriod an old school linguaphone tutor and a children's TV presenter from the 70s and she is always so subtly patronizing.

Besides, I believe this book would be more helpful in written format with all the tables and stuff.

great book

This has been very enlightening for bringing healthy thinking and giving a better understanding of how he way i think has caused my emotional difficulty. it is something to be practiced daily the result are well worth it.

one of the better CBT books ive read.

great narrator

I don't understand the moaners about the narrator, the narration in this audiobook is top notch. The claims about how the narrator 'doesn't understand what she's reading' are just silly nonsense. Even if that were true, who cares? The job of the narrator is to narrate with a professional voice, not to be a psychology expert. Moral of the story, I prefer this narrator to many others and certainly to the authors who have the bad idea of narrating the audiobook themselves, because that NEVER works for me. I am really fussy about narration, and for every great audiobook there's a pro narrator like the one in this audiobook!

Are you sitting comfortably...
