One of the greats
This short book was incredible view of the insights of Alfred Adler. I’d been interested in Freud, Jung, Fromm for a while, and this was my first view of Adler. Really interesting with some curious contradictions to other theories that will be good to dig into.
The narration was poorly suited, however. The reading was fine, but the voice didn’t suit. Psychology books written by old men should only be narrated by older men. Still worth the listen.

It’s overall great, just by comparing to the book version, there’s 4 chapters missing, not sure why

Ok book, terrible audio quality
Needs to be edited for glaring audio errors, but it has a decent thesis that is deep dived

Breathe
The Narrator reads as one constant run on sentence… no breaks or pauses. Even at a reduced speed it is difficult to transition between points.

Couldn’t understand.
I tried so hard to understand the meaning or the story of the book. The words used to explain or to tell the story was too hard and profound. Could’ve used better or easier to understand language narrative. It almost sounds like the writer was trying really hard to make the book “special”.
Gave up. Didn’t finish reading.

Interesting
I found this book quite interesting. Many of the author's descriptions and examples matched up with myself and people I know. It has led me to mull over my upbriging with new understanding and how aspects of it has affected me in adulthood in ways I haven't before considered.
The editing of the narration had issues though. Several dozens of times the narrator stopped mid-sentence and repeated something he just said. Sometimes this was due to him saying the wrong word but most of the time it seems to be just a stutter in his speech. It's not horrible but it was frequent, slightly distracting and could have been easily edited out.

A little fast
I think a little slower might be better. I tried to slow it down, but the voice of the 0.8 speed sounds weird.

Great Read
Adler had many discoveries, and many delusions.
Many sentences are repeated, so no sound engineer.
