Title: Win Bigly

Subtitle: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter

Author: Scott Adams

Narrator: Scott Adams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-17

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 781 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

"If you watched the entire election cycle and concluded that Trump was nothing but a lucky clown, you missed one of the most important perceptual shifts in the history of humankind. I'll fix that for you in this book."

Adams was one of the earliest public figures to predict Trump's win, doing so a week after Nate Silver put Trump's odds at 2 percent in his FiveThirtyEight.com blog. The mainstream media regarded Trump as a novelty and a sideshow. But Adams recognized in Trump a level of persuasion you only see once in a generation.

Trump triggered massive cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias on both the left and the right. We're hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason. We might listen to 10 percent of a speech - a hand gesture here, a phrase there - and if the right buttons are pushed, we decide we agree with the speaker and invent reasons to justify that decision after the fact.

The point isn't whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Win Bigly goes beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any setting - the same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs when he invested in Apple decades ago. For instance:

Adams offers nothing less than "access to the admin passwords to human beings". This is a must-listen if you care about persuading others in any field - or if you just want to resist the tactics of emotional persuasion when they're used on you.

Win Bigly

What a fun and enlightening audiobook, was so much fun to listen about Scotts journey and shifts through the 2017 elections. This is a must listen because it debunks much of the deplorable actions and manipulative b s from the election. Ive now become a Scott Adams fan and just bought a bunch of Dilbert books to continue exercising my laughing muscles. I also bought Robert Cialdinis book after Scotts very funny plug in Win Bigly, so good he plugs in two sections!!! Enjoy

I'm a fan of Adams' work, but this is just 'meh'

First off, I'm a big fan of Scott Adams' work. Part of my morning routine when I wake up is to get coffee and go to dilbert.com for a good chuckle before heading off to drudge for today's dose of depressing news. I follow him on Twitter, and I occasionally check out his periscope videos.

If you've followed Adams for several years, particularly the past year and a half, this book provides no new information. In fact, it almost assumes you're much dumber than the average reader by explaining common sense concepts.

It'd also have been better of Scott didn't narrate the book himself. His voice makes Ben Stein seem energetic, and it is almost like he got bad advice from the Audible production folks to a point where he just sounds monotone and lifeless.

I would unbuy this book if I could.

NLP on steroids

Very well written and told in the droll but amusing way of the Dilbert character! If you hate Donald Trump you'll discover why he won. If you love him then you'll discover why he won. But much more importantly you'll discover that feelings come first and trump facts every time!

Great, great book. You will surely enjoy it!

One of the best books I've ever read (listened to). There's a good chance it will change how you look at the election and the world.

Wow... I mean wow! This should be a Bestseller!

2015-2017 Current Events were very frustrating.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-30-17

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1499 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true - everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones.

The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer - a strapping young lad by the name of Himmel. Armed with his grandfather's trusty longsword and the dream of being the strongest, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime! It is sure to be a long and dangerous road, fraught with danger! And it all starts with a simple test - reach Level Five in the dungeon called the "newbie zone" and earn the right to become a full-fledged adventurer!

However, such things get hopelessly derailed when his adolescent mind beholds an exposed chest for the first time - a fateful meeting that would inevitably lead his life in a direction he never even dreamed of!

Content warning: Gore, violence, explicit sexual scenes

Everybody Loves Large Chests was first brought to Jeff Hays on Soundbooth Theater Live, his live streaming narration show. Since then, it has been the most consistently requested and enjoyed title by fans. So much so, that Neven Iliev finally decided to approach us to put out a full audio version of the first arc in Boxxy's adventures!

Really Entertaining

This is a very different take on LitRPG! If you're expecting a traditional story about a gamer that gets sucked into a VRMMORPG and works to level up, this is not that type of book. It doesn't really have a traditional story structure or an antagonist. It's just a bawdy tale about a monster's adventures in a world that happens to operate with the same mechanics as a game.

What this book did have was humor, and plenty of it. It was a really entertaining and fun read. The characters were hilarious, and had me snort laughing out loud. The story flowed right along, the main character was unexpected, and the whole thing was well-written. Ugh, I resisted hard, but yes, I'll say it. This book was tasty.

Jeff Hays' performance was outstanding, it really suited the book. He had great comedic timing and just delivered those deadpan lines perfectly. He performed different voices for each character, including female voices, and there were some awesome sound effects. It just brought the whole thing up a notch, the book would have been a fun read, but the narration made it a hilarious listen.

Although I loved most of it, I wouldn't recommend reading this book if you're easily offended. It spends a lot of time satirizing women (God I hope it's satire). I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Not what I expected, but great "RPG" fun

I don't think the Audible book description quite fits, but if you've ever played an RPG video game WoW or D&D this story is a great twist on some classic tropes of the genre. No, this is not some high level thought provoking fiction. It's a fun witty and entertaining story masterfully performed. I agree with some reviewers that the material is a bit juvenile, but that's what makes it so fun.

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 10-24-17

Publisher: Harper Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 125 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

One of our most beloved comedians, the brilliantly witty and outspoken star of The View, hits the most unpopular president ever elected where it hurts - and makes us laugh and cheer - in this hilarious alphabetical guide to everything that's wrong with the "Orange One", Donald Trump.

Put down the knife, lock away the gun, lay aside the noose - Joy Behar is here to save you from suicide as she hot walks you through the next four years (two if we are lucky, less if liberal dreams come true). Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb-over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry.

The Great Gasbag is Joy's answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House. Structured as an A-Z guide (G is for gold...en shower; P is for Pence and p***y-grabbing; T is for tweets, twits, and twats; etc.), Joy, joined by New York Times best-selling humor author Larry Amoros, offers much-needed doses of levity and humor for everyone determined to #resist. With a major network television profile and a social media audience in the millions, this fearlessly confident star has a powerful platform to entertain Americans of all stripes - from Never Trumpers to fired-up progressives - as she takes on the worst president since...well, since ever.

Funny and Smart !

What a Joy!

I may re-listen to this a bit every day for the duration of 45 ~ to recover from the evening news!

Smart and informed writing delivered with a wit and ballsiness

The perfect response to the insanity of the day-today we are being subjected to by the alternative-fact, alternative-grace, alternative-intellect clown show currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Thank you for the laughs and the reminder that IT IS NOT NORMAL!!!

Behar's Best

Funny as ever. A, cautionary tale well read br the author. Sadly, there's a lot of truth in this modern essay. It goes quickly with never a full moment.

Love it !!!!

Oh Joy, you are truly marvelous. I enjoyed your book so much that it got my head out of the toilet. I thought I was the only one thinking this man is crazy..... we euthanize dogs when they go crazy......don't we.

Anyway loved your book and your explanations of A thru Z. Keep them coming. I need laughs to get me thru this presidency.

Behar bashes the best!

An absolute delight. So glad Joy read it, her personal touch made it so much better to listen to.

Title: The Woulda Coulda Shoulda Guide to Canadian Inventions

Author: Red Green

Narrator: David T. Smith, Red Green

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-17

Publisher: Penguin Random House Canada

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

One of Canada's greatest inventors appraises his peers, with mixed results.

The author of How to Do Everything and Red Green's Beginner's Guide to Women has never been afraid to take on jobs doomed to failure. This latest project is perhaps the nearest he has come to a triumph. In The Woulda Coulda Shoulda Guide to Canadian Inventions, Red surveys, analyzes, critiques, and in some cases tells you how to re-create at home the best Canadian inventions, from the Wonderbra to the hard-cup jockstrap, by way of insulin, the walkie-talkie, synchronized swimming, and more world-changing innovations than you can wave a Canadarm at.

And speaking of the Canadarm, Red shows how by simply combining common household items such as a cordless drill, a metal tape measure, a broomstick, ice tongs, a bungee cord, a fishing reel, and, of course, the handyman's secret weapon - duct tape - you will in no time at all be lifting oranges out of the fruit bowl like a trained astronaut. Elsewhere, Red explains definitively the difference between the alkaline battery and Al Kaline, who played right field for the Detroit Tigers. And he reveals how Lodge Member Dennis Holmsworth's test run of magnetic shoes along the underside of the Mercury Creek Railway Bridge literally came undone as a result of poor lace-tying skills.

A rallying call to handymen and handywomen everywhere to aim high, and however badly you might miss, this book is a reminder that you are not alone.

Red Green's motto: Quando omni flunkus moritati (when all else fails, play dead).

Entertaining book, good read

Entertaining book, good read.

Amusing and insightful like all Red Green books and videos.

Five Stars

Red Green is very funny !

Four Stars

Interesting Read!!

Still keeping his stick on the ice....

I only just discovered Red Green, aka Steve Smith, in the last year. Many nights of binge watching The Red Green Show reruns have turned me into a fan of Red's irreverent humor.

The Woulda Coulda Shoulda Guide to Canadian Inventions is the first Red Green book I have read but it is pretty much what any fan would expect from the guy who turned "the handyman's secret weapon" and "keep your stick on the ice" into common vernacular.

Red's dry but intelligent sense of humor translates well on the page. In this book, Red details some of the more noted inventions by Canadians. Except that in true Red Green style, sometimes he doesn't.

As Red says in the forward, the book "is a bit of a puzzle. It's not all fact but it's not all fiction either. Many of the inventions featured here are bona fide, authenticated and factually based inventions."

But he adds that others come from rumors and urban myths. He subtly distinguishes the real inventions in a certain way but leaves it to the reader to figure that out.

This is a fun book to read and perfect for anyone who is a fan of Red Green.

I'm not sure it works unless you have seen the show and understand Red's timing and sense of humor.

Of course there is always The Red Green channel on YouTube if you need to get caught up...

Canadians are weird

#dicklies

A terrible book from a dead/irrelevant internet "celebrity". How long is it going to be before Maddox disavows chapters in this book because he's retroactively offended by them?

This is so dumb!

I was hoping this would be clever and funny. It was neither. Very disappointed. I couldnt even finish it.

Fuck this book

Fuck this book and fuck this review. It's a great read. Read it like a dictionary of contrary-ism.

It's OK.

Been a fan of Maddox since the late 90's. First half of the book is classic Maddox and very funny. Second half of the book seems to take a nose dive into social justice conversation points. It is well written and I am sure others will love it. Just not my type of book.

Not even a sensible chuckle.

Maddox is a one-note joke that only autists laugh at.

He is fucking clown shoes. If he were real, I'd beat the shit out of him for being so stupid.

Title: The Book of Leon

Subtitle: Philosophy of a Fool

Author: JB Smoove - contributor, Iris Bahr, Leon Black

Narrator: Leon Black

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-10-17

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 94 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone's favorite houseguest who never left, Leon Black (played by award-winning comedian JB Smoove from HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm), drops his wisdom and good-bad advice for the masses. Learn the secrets Larry David has gleaned from the Falstaff of television. Live your best Leon. Bring the ruckus.

Aristotle. Gandhi. Lao Tzu. Dr. Ruth.

Amateurs.

For centuries, bespectacled dorks have pored over the scrolls of the ancients, read tea leaves, and looked to the stars for philosophy, wisdom, and advice. While some people have probably offered good advice, and others offer bad advice, Leon is here to offer his brand of good-bad advice. These are the musings of a master genius spitting out the secrets of the universe - to help you become just like him.

Be forewarned: in opening this audiobook and Leon's mind, you need to be prepared for straight talk. The kind of unfiltered blunt straight talk that pounds on your door; invites itself in; makes itself at home; helps itself to your food, your security pass code, and your expensive organic beet juice; and finally makes itself comfortable on that twin bed in your guest room. All the while you think you're helping it - but really it's helping you help yourself!

Because that's how this book doozit.

Leon Black: He ain't wrong...he just ain't right.

Tears of Laughter

I wish I could enter JB Smoove's mind for just one day. Leon Black provided some of my favorite Curb Your Enthusiasm moments - I would rewind his scenes with Larry again and again. And so I bought this book with some trepidation, half-believing there was no way JB could sustain Leon's wise absurdity for 5 hours. Well, there was no need for concern.

I usually listen to books on my commute but I had to turn this one off because I was laughing too hard. The tears streaming down my face and the jerking of my body were disconcerting to other commuters.

Highly recommended.

Funny!!

Leon words of wisdom will help you be a man and aware of your life!!

Funny but Lazy

I find JB Smoove to be very funny and his delivery of this weak material is still excellent. This is not a story. It is either a bad fake (by design) self-help book or just random thoughts strung together to fill a book. I was looking forward to JB Smoove's interpretation of inside Leon's head but was disappointed.

a riot and a half!

hilarious book with some good advice, but mostly bad. JB Smoke did an amazing job narrating it. It almost feels like you're listening to Leon Black from the show. aka POHDA

Funny but useless

If you want to laugh it is a good listen but if you want actual knowledge this book is not worth your time.

Title: Journal of an Outlaw

Author: Mick McArt

Narrator: Faust Kells

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-02-17

Publisher: Mick Art Productions

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Journal of an Outlaw is a comedic take on the fantasy genre.

It is a book with 120 journal entries that tell you the adventures on an unnamed rogue in the Unremembered Realms. The book has numerous winks to Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, roleplaying games, World of Warcraft, social media, Wizards of the Coast, board games, and many others. The author treats these with love and respect, but also with a tongue-in-cheek approach that fans of the fantasy genre will truly appreciate.

The book is meant for adults, but the humor is safe for kids to hear. The references and situations that the Outlaw finds himself in will have you listening on to see what other mess he's gotten himself into.

Members Reviews:

a few times where I cracked a smile

Journal of an Outlaw is a satirical comedy written by Mick McArt giving the listener a view into the life of a rogue fantasy game character who finds himself in a land called the Unremembered Realms. The book is narrated by Faust Kells who has a few other fantasy type books performed under his name, and I liked his voice and narrating on this book. It was my first time listening to an audiobook by this narrator. If you like stories poking fun at not only other fantasy literature but also include such items as D&D, social media, along with many modern items, you may find the book enjoyable. For me, I found it to be too disjointed and the humor overall not very whimsical even with fantasy books being my favorite genre. I will say that I liked the artwork of the books cover, it drew me into wanting to listen and learn who this odd character was.

The book contains one-hundred and twenty (120) journal entries which the author says are not told in chronological order. Yet, many of the later records reference items from earlier sections and you can feel the progression as the book moves along. These journals entries are simply small vignettes, or snippets, where I would have preferred the story to be told in a more traditional fashion. Although there were a few times where I cracked a smile, I found the flow of the story to be difficult to follow and the humor felt forced and often crude in nature. But, as a whole, the story was quite imaginative and unique in the way it was presented to the listener. It must have taken some time for the author to create all the various quips, puns, and pokes for the various events you will experience in the book.

I liked that the author included many of the known fantasy tropes such as troll and even maintained their known weakness against such things as fire. He seemed quite knowledgeable in fantasy works. A few of the creatures were unique while others were what one expects generally to find in a book of this category. I enjoyed the scene with the gelatinous cube as I have myself faced such a creature in my own role-playing adventures. The characters themselves I found to be rather non-dimensional and flat. I understand that in a book consisting of only journal entries, you will not have a lot of narrative or backstory to fill in these important details. What you do learn of the main character, the author of the journal, is that he is quite the outlaw with very few morals. He is a rather selfish character who is always looking out for number one, even during battles.

Title: American Rhapsody

Author: Joe Eszterhas

Narrator: Ed Asner, Nina Foch, Melissa Gilbert, Bill Maher, Will Sasso, David Dukes, Joe Eszterhas

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-15-17

Publisher: Phoenix Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

If the Watergate scandal was a national nightmare, then maybe the Clinton scandal was a national wet dream, and who better to narrate it than the screenwriter Joe Eszterhas? In American Rhapsody, Eszterhas, whose credits include Basic Instinct and Showgirls, takes us through the events that threatened to topple a president and left most of the nation's citizens with, at the very least, a bad taste in their mouths. Here Washington and Hollywood do more than just flirt with each other; they share the same bed. From scandalmongers Matt Drudge and Ken Starr, to would-be president paramours Sharon Stone and Barbra Streisand, to his final, unimpeachable witness, Willard - none other than President Clinton's talking penis - Eszterhas gives us the goods on the story that nobody could stop talking about and, thanks to American Rhapsody, will be impossible to think about the same way again.

Read by Ed Asner, David Dukes, Joe Eszterhas, Nina Foch, Melissa Gilbert, Arte Johnson, Bill Maher, Deborah Raffin, Susan Rattan, and Will Sasso.

Critic Reviews:

"Outrageously funny." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

A friend recommended this book to me so I tried it

A friend recommended this book to me so I tried it. I don't know how many chapters I went through before I quit. Not many. We were still name dropping things on Clinton when I stopped. There would be pages after pages of name dropping and giggles. I never saw the other typeface so I guess everything I read was true. It didn't sound untrue just boring. Lots of gratuitous sex comments with no more value other than it was probably a true comment upon our leaders. I'm not sure where we got Monica's innermost thoughts like how she set up meetings with Bill, etc., but it was in the true typeface so I guess she really had those thoughts. I don't really care.

Irresistably preposterous-- But know what you are in for

Eszterhas the book writer is more intriguing and ideosyncratic than Eszterhas the screen writer. Be prepared for a 60's counter culture apologia pro vita sua with interesting detours (such as a tribute to Barry Goldwater).

The book is ultimately a tour of America the Horny across the life span of baby boomers. "Life span" is the proper term, since there is raunch enough for a lifetime. The organizing principle is that Bill Clinton is the avatar for the sexual acting out of the rock and roll lifestyle. Clinton is not particularly revered here, although Hilary is portrayed as so cold (and maybe gay) that Bill had little choice.

There is a lot of malicious gossip here, but some is true. The challenge is distinguishing between gossip that is malicious and that which is false and malicious.

For all the astoundingly diverse sexual activity described, there is a clinical detachment. Eszterhas uses few words (save when quoting others) that the New York Times would not print.

Eszterhas narrates lots of the book and is not an especially skilled reader-- although the ring of authenticity he gives keeps it from being annoying. Ed Asner is a fine reader.

Be prepared for Eszterhas's substantial ego.

Four Stars

Interesting old tales of Hollywood.

Write another political bio, Joe!

I've bought several dozed hardback copies, and sent them to friends across the country.
