Publisher's Summary:

Discover the Life and Teachings of Viktor Frankl Today!

If you have ever seen the movie, The Sound of Music, you would know that indeed, "The hills are alive...." in Austria. Austria is a beautiful country with a rich and vibrant history. Many famous people have come from the hills of Austria including, but not limited to: Marie Antoinette (Queen of France), Ingeborg Bachmann (author/poet), Ludwig von Beethoven (composer), Johannes Brahms (composer), Anton Bruckner (composer), and Viktor Frankl (neurologist/psychologist). Austria has been known as a country full of artists, musicians, and great thinkers such as Albert Einstien as well. Yet, during the middle of the 20th century, it was seen as a place that a minority group of people had ruined. One man, however, would always hold the Austria he knew in his heart forever. That man is Viktor Frankl.

Many view Viktor Frankl as a hero, in regard to his theories and logotherapy. Essentially, his teachings are the source of "self-improvement". He was the first life coach. Heroes such as Frankl evolve silently, but make a huge impact on the world that ripples throughout the ages. Once those individuals are gone from this plane of existence, the world is forever changed. Humanity is not the same.

Viktor Frankl was not only the professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, he was also the author of an astounding 32 books - one of which is rated to be among the top 10 most influential books in the United States of America by the Library of Congress. In addition to his brilliance, Viktor Frankl has an uncontested ability to carry his readers with him in such a manner that the reader feels as if he or she were almost at the concentration camp with him....

Members Reviews:

Really??

This book reads like a report written by an 8th grader. It is filled with run on sentences and factual errors. Fit example, the author emphatically states that Hitler was half Jewish. This myth was dispelled long ago and is not accepted by any credible historian that I know of.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Informative read... mostly about Adolf Hitler.

While I find this a very intriguing and informative read, it was mostly about how Viktor Frankl got into the Nazi camps. There is a ton in here, up to 56% that is about Hitler and how he came into power. While that is all true and the author must have done a LOT of homework to get all of this information, sadly it did not truly pertain to Viktor Frankl himself. I would have loved another 30 pages (at least) to find out about the man behind these extraordinary ideas.

The great thing is that this is a start to Viktor Frankl's life. Now I just need to delve into other books to find out more about his logotherapy and how it effects PTSD.

Good book but sadly not enough information about Viktor. Even still, it was a great read and recommended.

A must listen for fans of Twit.tv

If you listen to Twit, you'll be familiar with most or even all the geeks featured here, and their stories are fascinating.

That being said, I'm only giving this 3 stars as the politics of this book are vomit inducing. Almost once a chapter the authors stop to wax idiotic about the plight of women in tech. Ironically by claiming that women can't do anything, the authors themselves are the worst kind of sexists.

There is a saying in film, "show, don't tell", and the authors should have adopted that line of thought for this book.

I listen to these books to inspired by the geeks, not to feel sorry for them.

So much better than the first release

This version (read by Jason Hiner) is so much better than the original. Jason's delivery is natural and conversational, and accurate. Do not bother with the original Dan Patterson version.

50/50

I got this book based of a podcast I listen to. It wasn't as interesting as the podcast was making it out to be, but it wasn't a terrible book. I wouldn't recommend it to just any person looking for a book because it is really for a specific set of readers.

Great book

The book was great and really inspiring. Just a side note if you enjoyed the book check out everything that was mentioned they are really good.

A picture of the people

What made the experience of listening to Follow the Geeks the most enjoyable?

The humanity, people you may have read about, listened to or watched were made more real.

What did you like best about this story?

The details about people you'll never get otherwise.

Which character as performed by Jason Hiner was your favorite?

Not that kind of book...Mr. Hiner was an excellent complement to the telling of the stories.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's better as a book...

Any additional comments?

It's a friendly vision of people we would like to know personally.

What a Con!

This 'book' is a thin pamphlet of 12 actual pages of summary with the remaining pages either blank, or the title page, or the table of contents, or a disclaimer page, or a 'Critics Corner' page describing the book as 'touching' or several pages of advertising for summaries of other books. There's little actual content, and the writing is so grammatically flawed as to be laughable. My junior high school granddaughter could have written a better book report. I ordered the summary by mistake thinking it was the actual book by Kalanithi. This is the first one star review I've written, and I hope it's the last.

Title: Charles Rolls of Rolls-Royce

Author: Bruce Lawson

Narrator: Bruce Lawson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-16

Publisher: In Ear Entertainment Limited

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

In 1900, aged 22, Charles Stewart Rolls was the best known motorist in Britain, better known than Jeremy Clarkson today, having won the "Thousand Mile Trial" of that year, the event that launched motoring as a practical popular concept. Rolls followed his success in the Trial by racing in highly dangerous inter-city races in Europe.

He drove the fastest time ever achieved in Britain, although this was never ratified. At the same time, Rolls ran a large car-sales and service showroom in London, employing 70 staff with space for 200 cars. In the span of six months, he persuaded the secretary of the Automobile Society of Great Britain and Ireland to join him, and then, shortly after, discovered Henry Royce with whom his name is now forever linked.

This triumvirate of talented engineers and businessmen took Rolls-Royce Ltd. to the pinnacle of motor and aero engineering that the company has occupied ever since. Rolls helped create the new sport of hot-air ballooning and raced his balloon for his country. He then joined a select band of intrepid pioneers who risked all to prove the theory of powered flight. He was first to fly the English Channel both ways but weeks later perished at the Bournemouth Air Show. Engineer, salesman, aristocrat, pioneer, and businessman, Charles Rolls offers us a timely reminder of British invention, courage, and ingenuity more than 100 years ago.

Engaging

This is the first biography in fifty years about Charles Stewart Rolls (27 August 1877-12 July 1910). He was a pioneer motorist, balloonist and aviator of the early motorized planes; he is best known for the Rolls-Royce automobiles. Rolls graduated from Cambridge with a degree in mechanical engineering.

I was amazed to learn that Britain was slow in accepting the automobile compared to other countries. Apparently the railroads were so efficient and easily accessible people saw no need for a personal automobile. According to Lawson, France accepted the car immediately and was the leader in car manufacturing, laws and also car racing. Rolls had the first car at Cambridge, the first car in Wales and wrote on motoring for the newspapers/ magazines and the Encyclopedia Britannica. Rolls also raced cars and won the Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man. He also raced in the early Monte Carlo Rally. He also held the World Land Speed Record. Prior to getting in to automobiles he raced bicycles. He formed the C.S. Rolls& Co and opened a car showroom in London. He had to teach people to drive as part of selling the automobile.

Rolls met Henry Royce and together they build the Rolls Royce automobile. Rolls was an excellent sales person and Royce a master builder of the automobile, their goal was to build the perfect automobile. Lawson details Rolls personal life as well as his life of adventure. Rolls died in a plane crash at the age of 32.

The book is well written and meticulously researched. Lawson managed to capture the spirit of the Victorian and Edwardian age of motoring. The author also captures the spirit, élan and glamour of the Edwardian era, which existed before World War One. This was an exciting time in London history with Rolls with his car dealership and Selfridge with his department store. The author did a adequate job narrating his own book.

Publisher's Summary:

Chances are, you are familiar with the name Walter Reed only because you have heard of the major army medical center named after him. Maybe you have heard of his name in general references related to yellow fever. Either way, there is so much more to this humble, hard-working man than most know. He wore many hats; husband, father, military officer, scientist, and doctor are just a few. His scientific achievements are benefiting humanity today.

Walter Reed had humble beginnings but his intelligence and perseverance allowed him to excel in life. He received his Doctor of Medicine in 1869 and remains the youngest person to graduate from the University of Virginia medical school to this day. After his graduation, he studied further and received a second degree from Bellevue Hospital Medical College. After briefly working in New York, Dr. Walter Reed then decided to join the Medical Corps in the United States Army.

Throughout his military career he would be stationed in many different locations, including New York, Arizona, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Alabama. The first part of his military career was spent on the frontier treating a variety of patients and illnesses. The latter half of his career was spent in Washington, D.C., doing research, teaching classes, and learning of new medical advances. His most significant work was done with the US Army Yellow Fever Commission. Along with other fellow physicians and scientists, Dr. Walter Reed was able to unravel the scourge, yellow fever that had been a mystery since the 15th century.

In this short book, you'll learn all the amazing details of Dr. Walter Reed's life and his profound work.
