Curing Exceptionalism

What’s Wrong with How We Think about the United States? What Can We Do About It?

By: David Swanson

Narrated by: Megan Quinn

U.S. exceptionalism, the idea that the United States of America is superior to other nations, is no more fact-based and no less harmful than racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry. The purpose of this audiobook is to persuade you of that statement. This audiobook examines how the United States actually compares with other countries, how people think about the comparison, what damage that thinking does, and what changes we might want to consider making.

Awesome Read

This was a great book. Filled with facts and not theories. Definitely recommend it for all.

However, in chapter 5, the reader really struggled to comprehend sentences. At one time, I could hear frustration in her voice. I hope she's OK.

Meh

The book is good. I’m reading it for a college course. The main reason it’s not getting 5 stars is that towards the last 10 minutes of the last chapter the reader keeps repeating herself and changing her tone. It’s really hard to understand what’s she is saying.
