Story
From the Sunday Times top ten best-selling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. "It's about the terror, isn't it?" "The terror of what?" I said. "The terror of being found out." For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world, meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made jokes on social media that came out badly or made mistakes at work.

The perfect book for the spirituality sceptics who really do need meditation in their daily routine. 10% Happier is a spiritual book written for - and by - someone who would otherwise never listen to a spiritual book. It is both a deadly serious and seriously funny look at mindfulness and meditation as the next big public health revolution.

Great journey into meditation for curious sceptics
Reviewed: 14-10-2020
Harris has written his autobiographical journey to becoming a meditator and made it accessible to a western audience. He takes a lot of the woo woo out of the Buddhist/spiritual approach. I enjoyed hearing about his silent retreat enormously, and his analysis of the challenges and pitfalls on this journey, but ultimately the benefits from keeping at it spurred him to write this book and it's a goodie.

Story
Join best-selling author Jon Ronson as he traces the story of one very strange butterfly effect: What happened after a teen in Brussels figured out how to make porn free and easily accessible on the internet. Traveling from the tech world of Silicon Valley to the San Fernando Valley, where most porn films were made, you learn the consequences of free porn, which turn out to be mysterious, shocking, sad, and, at times, even surprisingly sweet. A 7-part series takes you on a journey to places you’ll never expect. [Explicit]

well researched consequence of free streaming porn
Reviewed: 03-06-2020
I found Ronson to be an engaging interviewer and he looked at the issue of internet porn from many different angles. The main thing I came away with was that millennials need to limit their porn intake as the consequences are pretty dire and lifelong. Early sexual responses with real females not screen ones will stand men in much better stead for ongoing and lasting engagement with women.

Well researched and written. I am a happy person and still found plenty of food for thought to build my resilience and deepen my understanding. The author was the narrator who I had to speed up 10% as his voice, meaning to be clear, sounded just plain dreary, which was somewhat counter-productive! I persevered as the content was solid.
