No, after each chapter I instead wanted to go away and try what had been suggested to me.Any additional comments?
If you've enjoyed the book as much as I did, may I recommend "Paranormality" and "The Luck Factor" as further reading?Fascinating and informative

I just loved the book in general. One of the better self-help books which I have listened to so far.
Just loved it!

Listening to the book sometimes it feels that the larger amount of what I’m listen to is just citations and references. Maybe these could have been included in the audiobook in a different way to allow the author’s main point to come across more successfully and succinctly. Perhaps in a supplementary list of footnotes and references at the end of the book?
Really interesting but…

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.
Content brilliant ..... but not for Audio.

What disappointed you about 59 Seconds?
Basically a book about some of the books and articles the author has read on the study of popular psychology. In it he offers pages filled with words so as to justify the cost and make a living. Comes across as an exercise in how to simplify what others have said for the purpose of showing how such over simplifications can be proven to be wrong, scientifically of course. Probably some good stuff in there somewhere but youll have to get past lots of filler to find it.Would you ever listen to anything by Richard Wiseman again?
can i get back to you on that?What does Peter Noble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
dont know, havent read it but based on what ive heard i do think he is a good narrator, a bad one can properly break a bookWhat reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment. Luckily i have the power of positive thinking to help suppress thatAny additional comments?
