Outdated thinking.

Freud's utdated thinking is rendered here in crisp modern English. His thoughts on this topic does not serve the modern mind (unless one is a psycho analysis devotee).

This book is read very well.

Civilization and its Discontents

This audiobook was a really quick listen and very informative. You would need to have another listen to for things to sink in since there is a lot of information.
