While I don't include audiobook performance in my star rating of a book itself, I have the unique experience here of being able to critique the same person twice. Because John Green is an incredibly gifted speaker, and because I believe that audiobooks voiced by the author themselves have the potential to be the best of their kind, there's nothing about this narration that didn't hit the mark. I give John Green reading his own book the Anthropocene Reviewed... 5 stars.
Moderate: Bullying, Chronic illness, Mental illness, Grief, Alcohol, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Minor: Cursing, Death, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Panic attacks/disorders, Suicidal thoughts, Medical content, and War
While it is a generally mild book, The Anthropocene Reviewed is written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdown, making loneliness and all things pandemic-related a recurring theme. Additionally, as John Green is diagnosed and medicated for his mental illnesses, being mentally unwell is also a theme.matty_joe319's review against another edition

Thank you John Green for helping me slow down. For helping me open my eyes again. For reminding me that it is ok to like, dislike, enjoy, or be nervous about literally anything because my thoughts and feelings are valid too.
This essay collection includes everything. Who knew I could find comfort in an essay about Diet Dr. Pepper, or wisdom hearing his take on Halley's Comet? I didn't realize Green and I are the same age. I felt oddly closer to him when he gave a shout out to a bottle of Strawberry Hill. This book was straight up comfort.

I found myself reading an essay or two about topics I had varying levels of interest in, and on to the next essay I would read the title and often put the book down because I had had enough of the meandering stream of consciousness associations for that session.
There were some things that I found value in, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.
