Helpful content, TERRIBLE editing

Helpful content! Worth READING for sure.

But listening to this production will be a test of your patience. The narrator (who does great; not the reason for the low performance score) has lots of second and third takes, especially with author names. They just never edited them out! And as a psych book, it's PACKED with in-text citations! (Psych uses in text vs footnotes.)

So the listener must hear several variations on the same pasaages--and they're not even relevant to most listeners. (Patients, not researchers.)

Given that this is a book designed for people who struggle with anger, it’s beyond disappointing that the editing was done so sloppily. I'll try to take it as a chance to practice what the book teaches, because it's legitimately angering!

Do better y'all. I wouldn't SELF-publish something this unprofessionally edited. It's bad enough to merit an updated release.
