Two gifted narrators turn in performances that make the authors' ideas about paying attention come alive. Their vocal gifts are different and complement each other: Imani Jade Powers performs with a hushed intensity and a philosophical depth that give her interpretations real power. Byron Wagner's strengths are more stylistic; his amazing array of pitch patterns is fun to hear and makes the author's ideas glow without trivializing them. Both narrators perform with seemingly effortless diction from start to finish. The audiobook's mission is to help us understand and gain power over the way we process familiar versus novel experiences. The sections on how we "normalize" what is ordinarily shocking or untrue are especially illuminating in this age of disinformation and cultural decline. T.W.
