TheBookHippie I‘m in love! 1mo

vlwelser @TheBookHippie there's also a pink one. They come as a set. Obviously blue shark is more realistic and therefore better 1mo

TheBookHippie @vlwelser obviously. 💙 1mo

kspenmoll 😂😂 1mo

Susanita Did anybody sing? 1mo

AmyG Awesome!!!! 1mo

vlwelser @Susanita thankfully no. The early morning crowd at work probably doesn't even acknowledge the existence of a shark song. They're more likely to bust out the Jaws theme. 1mo

While listening to this audiobook, about listening, I found myself needing to rewind occasionally to hear something more clearly. But I did start to be more present for what I was hearing, too, and I‘m not sure that would have been the same with a text copy. Definitely a make-you-think book, about how and why to listen better.

LiteraryinPA Very meta! 1y

ravenlee Nitpick: the author narrates, which is cool, but there‘s a lot of upspeak, especially early on, and she pronounced some things oddly: process-eees, not process-ehs; bias-eees, not bias-ehs; and infl-OO-ences, not IN-fluences. It was distracting. 1y

One thing I learned is why I speed up my audio books, we process words faster than people talk. When we speak to someone in person we are listening & reading their body/facial language too so that will fill our brains but with an audio book or podcast it‘s just the sound. Our brains can wander without more input. As a fast reader, I find normal audio speed torture. I really enjoyed this, some tricks to hear what kids are saying between the lines

IndoorDame Fascinating! I‘m forever adjusting the speed when I start a new audiobook, but I always assumed it was differences in narration style and subject matter that made my mind wander at different speeds. Lack of sensory input makes so much sense! 3y

mcctrish @IndoorDame I was so happy when I figured out I could change the speed, I always wanted to fall asleep when I listened before 🤣 3y

IndoorDame @mcctrish same! Epic reading discovery moment! 3y

kspenmoll This is fascinating. Maybe that's why I have mine on a slower speed! 3y

mcctrish @kspenmoll I LOVE to listen to non-fiction but there are always a couple of parts where I just want to go back over them with a highlighter 🤣🤣 (edited) 3y

KathyWheeler @mcctrish I don‘t understand your oldest. When it gets colder, I could have soup every night for dinner and be happy. 😊 3y

mcctrish @KathyWheeler he thinks it‘s lunch food 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ and I‘m with you ( my youngest, who is at uni in Toronto, would eat it everyday almost year round ) 3y

mcctrish @Tamra a perfect ending to this day 3y

KathyWheeler @mcctrish my husband is like your youngest. He has no concept of seasonal foods. 3y

Tamra Soup is for all meals & all seasons! I could eat it everyday. 😋 3y

“Listening helps you see that we are all dealing with similar issues — wanting to be loved, looking for purpose, and fearing the end. You learn you are not alone.”

“In one study of children at a device-free outdoor camp, researchers found that after just 5 days without phones or tablets & interacting w/ peers, the kids were able to accurately read facial expressions & identify the emotions of people in photographs and videotaped scenes significantly better than controls who had not attended the camp & continued using their devices.”

PerksOfBeingABookworm I‘ve never considered how lots of screen time would make reading facial expressions more difficult. That‘s so wild. 5y

“Charles Reagan Wilson, an emeritus professor of history and Southern studies at the University of Mississippi, recalled asking the short-story writer and novelist Eudora Welty why the south produced so many great writers. ‘Honey,‘ she said, ‘we didn‘t have anything else to do but sit on the porch and talk, and some of us wrote it down.‘”
