Just read The Introvert Advantage and skip this. Nothing new here and not very entertaining.

Crenshaw has done a great job explaining how and why to have fortitude. He provides many real examples to back up his assertions. America needs this book.

Some good material, but lots of fluff and pretentious/onanistic language.

Narrator consistently said "casual inference" instead of "causal inference".

This book examines myth achetypes from a rigorous psychologist's perspective. It covers examples of the archetypes manifesting in history, religion, philosophy, science, politics, and everyday life. The book has a stream-of-consciousness quality about it that made it sometimes hard to focus, but I found the insights of the book well worth enduring that minor difficulty. It really shows that Peterson put a lot of care into the language. Some of the sentences are so beautiful I would pause the book and say them aloud to myself.

How to Read a Book Audiobook By Mortimer J. Adler, Charles Van Doren cover art

Effective reading methodology and great references

The book is well-written, well-narrated, describes effective reading methodology, and contains many great references. It provides readers with clear semantics and vocabulary for talking about the structure of literature, how we learn from it, and how to think about it. I wish I had read this much earlier in my life.

The advice is great, but it is also hilarious the way the authors eviscerate some of the bad writing examples.
