Insightful and fact-based!
At first I was disappointed by the lecture-type audio that I was not expecting but given my admiration for Barry, I continued listening.
It was excellent! I blasted through this, attentively, in 3 days and plan to listen to it again. Good content, well structured, little to no filler.
As for narration, I adjusted the speed to 1.10 to offset the pauses but I tend to speed up anyway so this may not be needed for other listeners.
A shout-out to the Paradox of Choice.
