Interesting overview
Interesting overview of the subject. Listeners likely need some physics background to start to benefit.

Big Concepts Brought Down to Earth
The series of essays on the Universe were interesting and thought provoking even for me a person with little knowledge on the subject.

Listen, repeat
My last brush with physics was in high school and was very, very basic. I have often wanted to read or listen to a book by Stephen Hawking but always gave up before I started. I would read reviews that indicated that without a good science background, this or that book would be difficult or frustrating. "The Theory of Everything" seemed less intimidating despite the title. First, it is short. Second, the reviews seemed to lean towards this being a manageable book for someone without a science background. I found the first couple of lectures, there are seven lectures in total, to actually be quite understandable and very interesting. At some point in lecture 3, I stopped and restarted the book as I found myself losing the plot. My second go around got me into lecture 4 before I felt understanding slipping away. At that point I decided to power through until the end. What I discovered is that with each lecture I would ride a wave of understanding until I hit the crest of the wave from where I would drop into the murky depths of confusion. Despite this rollercoaster ride, in the end I did enjoy this book which I am determined to listen to again and again until I "get it". Michael York does a superb job of narration. The book itself is really well written and even made me laugh a few times. Finally, the ending almost made me restart the book right away but I have decided to let what I have heard percolate for a while before I listen again. I would recommend this book to anyone curious about physics, the universe and everything.

Great read but not for everyone
This is an incredible read and such a good way of breaking down big concepts into understandable information. As someone who does not have a science background I did find myself having to pause and YouTube a lot of the concepts to get a better understanding. This process of learning was enjoyable for me and not frustrating but I can see how it could be frustrating for some people.
Overall, great book. You’re not going to walk away from it understanding everything he says 100% but you will definitely have a better understanding and a fresh perspective on the universe.

Outdated and NOT recommended.
Loss of time and rather boring.
At best for high school.
Not worth the price.
Read the publication of Don Lincoln (same title).
