Series of lectures. 2, 4, and 5 were the most interesting to me.

Having read the previous biography by Ashlee Vance (2015), it is impressive that almost half of this one is about what happened since 2015. Complex character yes, but pretty difficult to ignore.

I have read many self-help books now. Like the others, this one has its share of oversimplifications and platitudes, but I've concluded that if I can learn one thing from each of these books, I will be satisfied. Psycho-Cybernetics passes that bar.

Need to get around some sexism, some platitudes, some classism, and some entitled nonsense, but I liked the ‘taxonomy' of sources of unhappiness. Light on the solutions... but let's be fair, was I really expecting to find a recipe for happiness in this book?

great book!!

good summary

It’s a marvel of adulthood to realize that when you strip away all the years and all the learning, much of who you are was there from the start.

I loved the description of the teenager's excitement and infatuation with coding, its addictive nature well visualized with the slot-machine metaphor. The audiobook made me appreciate professional narrators (which Wheaton is not).

mostly a recap of the other one, but ok

good overview and suggestions

Terrific book, scientifically accurate, full of hope, inspiration, and heartbreak. The story of the CF foundation is a model for other rare disease foundations.

amazing narration by Carolyn Seymour
