Finally

Next time I choose a book I must remember that I am not a fan of psychology. There is no one to blame but me for suffering through iDisorder. This is seriously one to skip.

Jealous Much?

When will iDisorder be over!  It is just such a long book!  And the comments Dr. Rosen makes about Dr. Oz, well you can tell is it definitely jealousy.  I don't even know when Dr. Oz is on tv or if he is even on anymore, but I guess he had or has his own show.   What a long book this is.

Here I am multitasking while listening

to iDisorder. I have it set to 3x speed because I really think that there is a chance I won't be able to keep on with it. The chapter on Facebook posts having a negative impact on how we feel was very interesting. Who are these adults who post negative things on Dr. Rosen's wall? They must be the people who read this book. I have 1,021 Facebook friends. I don't know if that is a lot or a little but I rarely see adults posting nasty things on the walls of others. I know that kids do it and I know that cyber bullying is real and horrible but Rosen hasn't mentioned cyber bullying yet. Maybe because he didn't invent the word, I'm not sure.
Whatever.
This book is boring and bland that I can't even bother to use links.

The fun continues

Oh my gosh. This Rosen guy even talks about the issue of narcissistic folks using the I pronoun often! Did he read his own work? Hilarious. I love therapists!!!!
The New York Times did give iDisorder a decent review, but did say, that it Rosen is one of the few authors to call his own book "groundbreaking."

Another one

Okay so I do love audible.com. At first I was skeptical about it, thinking I would just cancel after I got my free book but no, I was sucked in and now look forward to my credit every month and the other perks that come with membership.
My credit this month went for iDisorder. I saw the book at the library but wanted to listen to it and my experience with borrowed audio is always disappointing so I bought it. Oh man. This is gonna be a fun one.
First of all the author is a psychiatrist. I knew that going in, so what was I thinking? Secondly he loved the letter I. It is his most favorite letter! I haven't read a nonfiction book, apart from an autobiography or memoir, that uses I as much as this one and I am only into the first hour!
Thinking back to the last nonfiction I read, which was Great By Choice, Collins never once says I. And I don't think he did in Good to Great either. It was always "we." Granted, Great by Choice has a co- author, but everyone knows that a book is not created by one person and I think that Dr. Rosen's chronic use of "I" means that he is a true superman and did all the research on this own or he is seriously way too self-involved. Thirdly, half hour into the book and he quoted Sherry Turkle! Yes! My good buddy Sherry Turkle. Unreal.
