I loved it. Vivienne’s voice was beautiful and calming and didn’t distract from the book as some tend to do. It was like I was listening to a book of wisdom and Eleanor acknowledging her privileges as she writes was also something that made me want to dive in more deeply. I want to give it another listen in the near future. Informative and a Great book!

It’s a book about common sense

I read this book because I was a teacher and will soon again be teaching however in a much different environment.Ms. Roosevelt does a spectacular job of illustrating the ways in which people everywhere learn. Altouugh there was some parts of this book where it would be easy to dismiss her discussionsbased on the fact that she live in an elite section of society, her insights apply to all cultures as we are all human. All in all I found her considerations to be valid, no matter the year or student.
