Summary
In We Learn Nothing, satirical cartoonist Tim Kreider turns his funny, brutally honest eye to the dark truths of the human condition, asking big questions about human-sized problems: What if you survive a brush with death and it doesn't change you? Why do we fall in love with people we don't even like? How do you react when someone you've known for years unexpectedly changes genders?
With a perfect combination of humor and pathos, these essays leave us with newfound wisdom and a unique prism through which to examine our own chaotic journeys through life. These are the conversations you have only with best friends or total strangers, late at night over drinks, near closing time.

Thought provoking
Didn't really know east to expect from this book. It took a while for me to get into it, but then I started to enjoy the stories. Very funny, clever vocabulary, and very thought provoking.

Thought provoking and funny
An engrossing and engaging look back by the author at his life. I meant to listen to a little a day over a month but got sucked in and blasted through in a very few days. If you like to think, ponder or dissect what life is all about then this is for you.

Relaxed Read but Interesting
A good read but not as much substance in the message as I hoped for. The book overall is a soft read with some great stories but if the reader is looking for some guidance as one would from a self help book, you will have to extract that from the stories told and align it with your reality.

3.5 stars
Good but not great. I enjoyed the writing more than I enjoyed the essays. Very well-written but a mixed bag of good, ok and boring essays.

Naked masterpiece depicting human nature
This book is like the morning after you wake up in a hangover (of not being drink but being your naked self as a human). You see in the mirror and there you are vulnerable, guilty and sort of laughing at yourself. Narration by Tim makes it what is - The masterpiece.

Favourite book, read wonderfully by the author
This is my favourite book, so obviously some degree of bias here.
If you don't know what this is, it's a collection of stories about the author's life, all conveying a message or a lesson he took from it.
They're really fantastic, varying in length from 12 to over 40 minutes, so great for listening in bouts.
The author himself reads the stories, in the way they were meant to be read. Do yourself a favour and get this, you won't regret it.
