About this listen

Adler, along with Freud and Jung, created an entirely new branch of psychology, namely psychoanalysis. What Life Should Mean to You brings his conclusions to a popular audience. It covers adolescence, feelings of superiority and inferiority, the importance of cooperation, work, friendship, love, and marriage.

Great book to gain knowledge about psychological issues in our life and child development

Great book for the psychological knowledge

The book itself is an accepted master work by Alfred Adler about Individual Psychology.
I could not concentrate on it, however, because of the absolutely atrocious reading it received. The narrator repeatedly stumbled over words and constantly repeated whole sentences for no apparent reason.
It was as if he had attempted to read the book in one whole sitting without any editing to rectify his many mistakes. He also speeded up his reading in many areas, as if keen to be finished.
I found it impossible to pay attention to the content.
I am not an academic and I am new to Adler's writings. I was hoping to listen to this book several times, as I have done with other complicated texts by and about Adler, but I cannot bear to replay this one at all.
I would recommend other customers to find another reading of this book, if you can, and avoid this one at all costs.

Appalling narration.

I read several reviews of the book and was excited to find an audio version. However, the narrator did not comprehend this psychology book type and his tone could not convey the whole meaning of an academic piece. He read in a rush, continuosly stumbled on words, used wrong emphasis, stopped suddenly and made numerous errors. I could not listen through 1/4 of the recording. This was a disrespect to the author and to audiences. Please consider update a more thoughtful audio version for this book.

Bad reading experience because of the narrator’s performance
