good

Really good reading by Stephen Fry. Reads it like a master story teller. Enjoyed the different voices he can do and his pronunciation is spot on. Fantastic

Exactly What I Was Looking For

I had heard about shoshin here and there over the years.

Before selecting this title I looked at other titles on the subject and read reviews and all that but something just felt right about this one in particular and thankfully my feeling turned out to be correct.

This was a concise teaching on all things shoshin that perfectly articulated the value of it and how it can be implemented in one's life, and the flow of the presentation was just right as there were no dead periods nor lags.

Finally what they did with the narrator was spot on because if I'm not mistaken they actually utilized AI to simulate the voice of somebody specific unless I'm getting it confused with another one of my Audible selections.

Anyways the narrator was perfect for this audio book and so I say if AI is getting this good at simulating an author's voice or the voice of somebody suitable for narrating a particular title then I am just all good with it.
