Story
This classic introduction to the psychology of Carl Gustav Jung is important because it is the only English original text he sanctioned in his lifetime. In his personal foreword, he wrote: 'Mrs Frieda Fordham has undertaken the by no means easy task of producing a readable resumé of all my various attempts at a better and more comprehensive understanding of the human psyche. She has delivered a fair and simple account of the main aspects of my psychological work. I am indebted to her for this admirable piece of work.'

Story
Towards the end of his life, Seneca the Younger (c4 BCE-65 CE) began a correspondence with a friend in Sicily, later collected under the title The Moral Epistles. In these 124 letters, Seneca expresses, in a wise, steady and calm manner, the philosophy by which he lived - derived essentially from the Stoics. The letters deal with a variety of specific topics - often eminently practical - such as 'On Saving Time', 'On the Terrors of Death', 'On True and False Friendships', 'On Brawn and Brains' and 'On Old Age and Death'.

Think you have a good memory? Think again. Memories are our most cherished possessions. We rely on them every day of our lives. They make us who we are. And yet the truth is they are far from being the accurate records of the past we like to think they are. True, we can all admit to having suffered occasional memory lapses, such as entering a room and immediately forgetting why or suddenly being unable to recall the name of someone we've met dozens of times. But what if we have the potential for more profound errors of memory?

The human brain, he argues, is a complex system that not only tells time but creates it; it constructs our sense of chronological flow and enables "mental time travel" - simulations of future and past events.

Dangerous when driving
This book will tell you what it will tell you in the most laborious way possible. First, each heading will be read out, the introductory paragraph summarizing what is to follow followed by what is to follow peppered with excuses that the authors are human and quite probably the page and ISBN numbers. I could quite easily have crashed my car listening to this frustrating audio book. My 30 minute drive to work saw me reach the height of anger with nothing achieved. So much for trying to understand myself! If I learnt one thing, it was to buy books with stories woven in rather than text books. Probably good for a reading revision session but not audible.

Well written but too much like a reference book
The style of writing in this book is very easy to listen to and the narrator certainly gets this across well. The concepts of how the brain works and how our senses interact with our brains is thorough. As the book is sequential in nature, it reads like a reference book. This makes it heavy going to listen to. Cases studies are very short as you would expect in a reference book but given that the book is an audible book, longer case studies would have helped a narrative thread. This is my main criticism of the book.
The one thing that the book doesn't say is how cognitive psychology helps people or give solid ideas to the reader about how he/she could use it. A greater focus on case studies and ideas for the reader would have been best.
The recording is good although whenever the narrator says the word, "Psychology" the sibilance is painful!
An interesting book but not really effective as an audio book given it's reference type structure.

elementary academics
in it's form the book has proven to be very flat. Academic language, no story line, and no engaging examples made the overall experience quite boring. About 2/3 into the book, I found myself wanting it to end already. I was getting absent minded and daydreaming through large chunks of the content, because of the form being the opposite of captivating.

Mostly a Waste of Time
This book takes a long time to say little. They spent at least 3 hours talking about linguistics. Not from a psychological approach, but from a sociological one. Yes, Chomsky was a linguistic, but we don't need to be linguists to appreciate his contribution to cognitive psychology. The rest of the book isnt much better. The narrator makes the situation even worse. His tone is dull and monotone. He pauses for a complete second at each period. Sometimes he has moments of natural speech, but they are fleeting.
