Spannende Essays und Geschichten mit spannenden Gedanken und Denkanstössen. Teilweise hätte ich mir persönlich etwas mehr Beschreibung und Erklärung der Wissenschaftlichen Arbeit interessiert, aber das hätte vermutlich den Ton verändert.

Another great book of medical and life anecdotes, questioning our perception of time and quality of life. The stories were moving, both in a sadening and joyous way. Lay people might need to look up some terminology, but all in all I think it's written wonderfully and insightful. The openness and compassion of Oliver Sacks is palpable.

Listened to the audiobook read by Amanda Dolan. She really brings Dr Teska to life in a great way. The story and medical details were great and I already put the next Dr. Teska book on my TBR. The sensitivities and compassion of Dr Melinek (as far as I've read in her book about her work) shine through and Mitchell certainly brings a lot to the table in regards of story telling. All in all a great book, a bit gloomy/realistic in tone, adventure and romance added in a very fitting way (I'm not one for romances) and I can't wait for the next one.

Again a great and intriguing telling of Dr. Teskas adventures in her life and job. I had my wonderful moments of suspicion, but still the story in the end took a turn and still made sense. The characters feel real (Sparkle seems a perfect partner in mischief), flawed and intelligent. I certainly will get the next one, if they have another story to tell. They write a great balance of story and forensic tidbits and Amanda Dolan certainly did a great job with bringing the story to life.

Lustig, toll zum nebenbei hören oder sogar beim Einschlafen,
denn trotz all der Systemkritik gibt einem die Lesung ein gutes Gefühl.
Viele 90er-Jahre Popkultur Referenzen teilweise.

This is a great and delightful introduction to personality psychology for laypeople. If you ever enjoyed a Tedtalk by Brian Little, this short book is for you. Spiked with funny anecdotes and good questions I would say this is a true self-help book, since it encourages you to reflect and describes realistic boundaries of wanting to lead a happy life. It's also doesn't promote toxic positivity, but refraiming in a healthy way to sustainably do, what matters most to you.

I really liked it, it was different smh, I couldn't foresee where it was going and it felt realistic. I don't know, if it was a standalone I think I could have gone without the last chapter, but I like the open end of it.
Highly recommend it, love the way it was written.

I really enjoyed the philosophical ideas, the scientific background on cloning and the psychological discussions in this book. As it is a short book any of these topics could be discussed further and more in depth. I certainly got many new ideas of topics worth exploring and some new books as well as companies to watch on my list.
