Sort of scattered
A couple of gems but mostly passing fancies. Unless you have perfect recall you will not find most of the topics useful. However, it is a good exercise in "outside looking at human behavior on the inside."
Science, Facts, and Fun, Oh My! A Must Read
Where does Brain Trust rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
At the top. I don't usually like books when the author is also the narrator, but Garth Sundem does a great job.
He sounds like he is having a blast, and his enthusiasm is contagious.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Did I cry? That would be a big NO. Did I laugh? That would be a big YES!
Any additional comments?
I would highly recommend this book. It was both entertaining and educational.
92 funny secrets, and one silly one.
I found this interesting and funny. Little wizard ways to improve your life in a myriad ways, and well told.
Find out how to hack your life, but bring a notebook, for here the secrets come fast and hard.
Fun, interestion, not bad
I liked it but then I like this kind of book. It's a little Malcolm Gladwell mixed with the science facts you might see on the evening news. About half of it won't apply to most of us but interesting none the less.
Awful
It's really, really bad. The author narrates the book himself, and he comes across as a "what's up dude" college freshman more than he does an adult of any kind, much less an author of any reputation.
The content itself should include some kind of critical approach as it is all scientific research that is not necessarily confirmed as accepted fact. Instead he unquestioningly presents a snapshot of all the most popular psychology/science/behavior books popular over the last few years as if all of it is as certain as the sun coming up tomorrow.
