THE MIND CLUB Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why It Matters

Narrator David Marantz elevates the message of this audiobook without calling attention to his outsized talent. His appealing tones and intellectual comfort with the material allow his phrasing to sound authentic, compassionate, and always in sync with the authors' themes. This ambitious audiobook examines how individuals and groups communicate thoughts and feelings and, thus, arouse empathy from others. Drs. Wagner and Gray raise provocative questions like why do we form close attachments with some animals and dispassionately eat others? Why do we empathize with certain people or organizations but not others? Enlightening without sounding prescriptive, this audio will make listeners take a sober look at their own emotions, how they react to others, and how they can be more responsible and enlightened citizens.
