January 2022 Book Reports

 

Wisdom from the Lives and Letters of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane Frances de Chantal edited by Louise Perrotta - link to my post (purchased copy)

Brain Myths Exploded: Lessons from Neuroscience by Indre Viskontas (The Great Courses) - I selected this audiobook thinking it would be a good contrast to our psychology book by offering a more contemporary perspective on psychology and neuroscience. In the end, I decided not to use it, mostly because we ran out of time in the course. Overall, this would be a good addition to a psych class that already had a text that covered introductory and basic information on psychology. The first few lectures were a little frustrating as they seemed to be aimed at dispelling the myth that there is a Creator and that faith is reasonable. That theme resurfaces a few times, but not as annoyingly as in the first two or three lectures. (purchased copy)

The Temperament God Gave You by Art and Laraine Bennett - link to my post (purchased copy)

The Violent Bear It Away by Flannery O'Connor - link to my post (received as a gift from a family member)
