Rated Gallifrey: Echoes Through Eternity 8/10

<div>Very much enjoyed this series of short trips for the 20th Anniversary of the Gallifrey series at Big Finish. It really is one of their best spin-offs. I haven't heard all the Time War sets, but all the ones previous are among my faves.</div>

The message was good and clear, but the writing was tedious. Like Gladwell books, this one could be compressed to a short pamphlet. I liked the distinction between hedonism and eudaimonia, which was a very ancillary point in the book, but still new to me. I also liked the blue marble finish. But the meat of the book consists of an glorified enumeration of activities related to water.<br/><br/>https://smus.com/books/blue-mind/
