Prefer the longer version (Expanded Edition)

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I normally love Alison's narration and really enjoyed her narration of the longer version of this book. Unfortunately, for me personally, the narration of this book was difficult to listen to (sounded very scripted and the energy/tone are not what I'm used to from Alison). I would highly recommend the expanded edition of this book over this one.

What did you like best about this story?

The actual content is helpful (you can get even more good content from the expanded version)

How did the narrator detract from the book?

It sounded very scripted for me.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend the expanded version of the Amazing Development of Men. I was hoping I would feel comfortable recommending this version to several people in my life who may struggle to find the 3.5 hours needed for the expanded version, but I will continue to recommend the longer version over this one.

Commercial for workshops

What would have made The Amazing Development of Men: How Men Change from Birth to Seniority and the Most Common Mistakes to Avoid better?

The information seemed totally geared to getting people to pay for workshops offered. Very little actual knowledge was revealed. I'd strong suggest "Keys to the Kingdom" rather than wasting time/money on this.

What was most disappointing about Alison A. Armstrong’s story?

A commercial advertisment

Any additional comments?

I love much of the information Ms Armstrong offers to her readers. I only wish some of her offerings didn't seem to only be a tease to buy into her workshops. I'd really like to have the information she has to share instead of feeling as if I must attend her classes to get the full picture.

That said, Keys to the Kingdom and Understanding Women made me want more. This selection was not helpful however.

Just an advertisement

Just an advertisement. Not the recorded workshop. Workshop different price. I wish it would tell us that it’s an advertisement

Disappointed

I heard her speak at a woman's conference and was impressed with what she had to say.
This book is a very brief overview, then it becomes an advertisement for her $395 weekend workshop
I bought another of her audio books which I hope will be more helpful.

This is a promotional tool disguised as a book

The whole point for purchasing the book was to learn information not for an audio informercial. Disappointed that audible even sells this “book.”

The info is skin deep and isn’t even new news except for the titles the author assigns to the life phases of men. Furthermore, she withholds information, suggesting she has critical knowledge but only shared if you attend her workshop. Why wasn’t this included in the book? Very gimmicky.

Great info, but it’s just a preview for workshops held twenty years ago.

This really should not be considered an audiobook. Other Alison Armstrong stuff is the entire workshop, this is like a long commercial for a workshop.

This is a promo for a workshop

The content seems valuable but don’t spend a credit on it! Just read their website

I thought this was going to be more informative

Very much just a quick review rather than a full book. I was expecting to learn some different information than just the highlights that I was already was aware of. I guess that's the updated book that has the larger amount of content. I will likely still purchase that one. I love Alison Armstrong's material!
