    Not long ago, it was thought that the brain you were born with was the brain you would die with, and that the brain cells you had at birth were the most you would ever possess. Your brain was thought to be hardwired to function in predetermined ways. It turns out that's not true. Your brain is not hardwired; it's "softwired" by experience. This book shows you how you can rewire parts of the brain to feel more positive about your life, remain calm during stressful times, and improve your social relationships.

    Ryan says: "Very straight formative and to the point."
    "No specific advice to improve how I use my brain"

    What would have made Rewire Your Brain better?

    If there was less explanation on the anatomy of the brain and more time on specific steps to take to improve happiness, stress reduction, etc.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Phil Williams’s performances?

    Yes, he was very good.

    The dust storms that terrorized America's High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since, and the stories of the people that held on have never been fully told. Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist and author Timothy Egan follows a half-dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region.

    Laurie says: "more than grapes of wrath"
    "Outstanding story teller & inspiring story"

    Where does The Worst Hard Time rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Yes. Narrator Patrick Lawlor has great voice inflection. Tells a very entertaining story about the dust bowl.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I think Alfafa Bill, the Governor of Oklahoma


    What does Patrick Lawlor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    You can imagine the people actually talking in their accents.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Made me appreciate the grit and persistence of the dust bowl people. made me appreciate my easy life.


    Any additional comments?
