The Facts is the unconventional autobiography of a writer who has reshaped our idea of fiction - a work of compelling candor and inventiveness, instructive particularly in its revelation of the interplay between life and art.

Difficult to follow
Revisado: 02-18-18
A Pdf version of this book is necessary and should be offered as the subject and story is difficult to follow. Having said that, the narrator has a thick dialect and by the time I think I understood the words he said I'm lost as to what the author has expressed. Not impressed!

Without even realizing it, we all use the fruits of political philosophy. From liberty to democracy to community, the terms and concepts originated by political philosophers are ingrained in our global consciousness. Yet many of us have an incomplete picture of how these ideas developed and, quite possibly, a skewed perception of their intentions and implications. This highly relevant course sheds light on the labyrinth of Western political and social theory, as well as its influence on modern history.

Political philosophy
- De Rachel Moyer en 07-08-18
Disappointed!
Revisado: 12-11-17
I have no issue with the narrator as he is quite versed in his knowledge of philosophy and the big western philosophers of our time, however, a direct link to our "Modern Political Tradition" whatever that means has not been made. I am halfway through the book so it could be the case that I have not reached that discussion yet . . . but certainly not what I was expecting.

I'm only 3 chapters in but won't bother with the rest of this book that is written like a collection of terms and definitions. An included pdf may have assisted in my appreciation of this book's content.

Many years of working with the dying showed the authors that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master but even the attempts to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in 14 accessible chapters, from the "Lesson of Love" to the "Lesson of Happiness", the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and above all, about the grandness of who we really are.

What disappointed you about Life Lessons?
Okay, this is my second attempt to get through a Kubler-Ross book, I thought with a co-author the book might have a different angle other that the ultimate orientation to Christianity. I got through more than half the book but I used one of the messages in the book and said, "life is too short to waste my time with something I'm not enjoying" so I stopped listening to it. I have no objection to the messages the authors are attempting to convey but its done in such a narrow veil of God and religion that I feel tricked. Plus, whilst the performance is going on, there are no references to back up claims made in the book. I believe that this book and other books like it are valuable to a specific audience and should be labeled as religious books! Audible, you're on notice. . . !
Has Life Lessons turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, this is my field of study.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I don't usually 'love' books actually.
Any additional comments?
I'll be returning this one.

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross created her classic seminal work, On Death and Dying, to offer us a new perspective on the terminally ill. It is not a psychoanalytic study, nor is it a "how-to" manual for managing death. Rather, it refocuses on the patient as a human being and a teacher, in the hope that we will learn from him or her about the final stages of life.

What would have made On Death and Dying better?
The first half of this book is informative and digs into the issues of end-of-life from the patient's, family's and sometimes the healthcare provider's view. I also appreciate the in-depth interviews in the second half of the book, this added a necessary narrative to difficult topics that a lot of people avoid discussing. However, I felt as if I was bamboozled because the second half read like a Christian radio programme! I appreciate the role of religion and fate at the end of life but I believe the choice of qualitative interviews went overboard to almost sway the reader/listener toward a specific religious belief. Again, disappointing!
Has On Death and Dying turned you off from other books in this genre?
I hope not.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from On Death and Dying?
Objective editing of the book!
