Content brilliant ..... but not for Audio.
Any additional comments?
This book in paperback would, I'm sure be excellent. However, in audio format it just does not work. Not because the content is any less interesting but because the narrator constantly makes references to books and papers where he has taken notes or extracts from.
In paperback format you can just brush pass these without taking any notice but when they are read to you, you cant. And it isnt just the odd one. Its many many times in every chapter, sometimes three very long references in a couple of minutes.
It really spoiled the listening for me. And it's not as if it couldn't be changed. It could. Instead of the author saying .....
'See G Hertingan, H Pack and K Schnetter 2001, self regulation of goal setting, turning free fantasies about the future in to binding goals' Published in the journal of personality and social psychology
Which is of no relevance to the casual listener, he could say for eg. 'See Reference 102.'
And at the end of the audio, just list all the references.
