'Normal' An historical guide

Reviewed: 25-12-2020

This book was full of truth, transparency, accountability, and self responsibility. Half a century of life experience, transforming his farm, from rock pile, to lush pasture, traditionally mentored, well read, articulate, simultaneously caring, while calling out utter abhorrent mentality and naivity of certian thinking. This book is for everyone that is even remotely interested in what they eat, &/or, how (their) food is grown, harvested, processed, distributed, consumed. awaken to the labeling lies and legalities that government agencies allow big business to get away with- protecting big $$$, over a persons right to know what they are consuming, all the while, trampling over, and sendng extinct, every small enterprise, and even our individual right to buy or sell, a quiche, soup, or fresh milk, hand milked, to your parent, child, friend or neighbour! Do yourself a favour, and listen to this audiobook!

An interesting, research source-citing piece of work that will broaden the thinking of those who choose to listen, consider, observe and interact. Concluded by an ending of 2x truthful, motivating pieces of advice!

I couldn't stop listening

At times, overwhelmingly sickening, but so eloquently descriptive, ever drawing me in until the very end. I look at my own children differently now, thinking of all those tiny, sweet faces sent to their unnecessary deaths by a sick, sad ideology of truly messed up men. A must listen. lest we forget.

Excellent balance of stats & storytelling

Although dry and brain-power-intense at times; huge numbers of statistics in small spaces of time, it was an excellent balance of factual information and case studies, narrated wonderfully. highly recommend as an introduction to accumulating wealth, but I really would appreciate an up to date version to reflect current realities.

I was really drawn into this book. I was shocked, amazed, brought to feelings of despair and horror of white history; but equally in awe and intrigued by the amazing insight into aboriginal agriculture and care of the Australian lands. Thank you for your contribution to Australian history and literature. I will be sharing this book far and wide! lastly; Thank you to the original custodians of this land, for the clever and loving care of it, for so many thousands of years. I hope we as a nation can acknowledge the whole history of this nation, and move forward with many of the advances in land care that the Aboriginal people practiced prior to European invasion. may we have a prosperous future, if only we stop measuring success by means of concur, and so-called economic growth (destruction and degradation of our lands finite resources).

Excellent!

Great overview ; told in a wonderful story telling format. It really felt like I was personally being told stories throughout the ages.

Humorous, simple, & serious

Our third time listening! Excellent story telling, but serious about the tough stuff. Add in practical real life applications and you've got a relatively easy to implement blueprint for financial security.

Wow. The history, the brutality, the grief, and the stark resemblance and differences to living as a woman now. I can see how & why women remain at the mercy of men. History; HIS story. it's refreshing (and sad) to listen to HER story.

Excellent content and narration

lots of relatable and usable info. I've already started sharing the concepts with colleagues, and recommending the book title to everyone that will listen. I'm looking forward to listening again, to fill in some gaps and get a greater grasp and understanding. I've also bought the hard copy book, and I'm glad to know that extra resources are available online, to help implement the strategies defined within.

Highly recommend. Lots of examples, specific situatuons and plans to cope, that I could (unfortunately/fortunately) relate to. I found this really helped me to apply the plans to my situation.
