Helped me get my mojo back

Revisado: 11-11-23

Started out my software career as a solo entrepreneur, had some success, then burned out and started life over as a successful but dissatisfied salaried software engineer. This book brings together a lot of wise strategies that both reminded me what I want from work and helped me avoid some of the mental pitfalls I fell into during my first crack at owning my own business. I am encouraged to try again.

The strategies many other books miss + INSPIRING

Revisado: 09-09-23

There have been plenty of books and articles that have helped me live a more productive less insane life as a person with ADHD. But Yvette’s book goes farther by helping you tune in positively to your whole damn person, that lovely, energetic, creative, animal that you’re often inclined to criticize so mercilessly. Working with your ADHD is not just about time management and habit building and having the more complete picture this book provides is uplifting and deeply helpful.

I listened to the audio book and the reader is also excellent.

Life changing

Revisado: 11-27-22

I’ve read a couple books and articles about Focusing but the audio presentation in Gene Gendlin’s own voice has somehow been the best aid to learning the technique. This has been more helpful to me than any psychotherapy I received before I learned how to Focus. Also has been an important adjunct to my Buddhist meditation practices and even, for me, elucidated certain meanings encoded in Vajrayana Buddhist practice.

Deeply affecting

Revisado: 10-14-19

Inspiring, thrilling and powerful, I suspect I will be thinking about this account for a very long time.

This book works beautifully on multiple levels: as a mind-bending logic-defying story of modern day magic and adventure, as a brilliant revelation of the depth and power of human meaning-making in difficult situations, and—for Western people like myself with an interest in Vajrayana Buddhist practice—a precious example of how Buddhist doctrines of karma, pure view, emptiness and compassion can be *lived* experience.
