Exactly what I needed, when I needed

Revisado: 04-25-25

This book of channeled text was so helpful for me in dealing with a very difficult situation when my mind needed to be soothed or would wake up in the middle of the night with worry on my mind. With my partner sleeping next to me, I could put an airpod in my ear and listen and be calmed so that I could go back to sleep. It was so soothing, and gave me perspective. Each short reading was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment about a life experience was having, especially a difficult one that I was creating for myself so I could learn and grow spiritually. I love the pleasant female AI voice. I also listened in the car, while walking, hiking, XC skiing, even cleaning the house. It's like listening to a mediation audio, but with a deeper meaning.

Daniel, thank you for this book. I have the other two books, and love them too. I hope more will come out soon.

Will definitely listen again

I am a huge Paul Selig fan and follower of the work he does with the guides. I just finished the Book of Innocence and was happy to find this podcast to listen to as the host asked some great questions!

I understand what she’s try to say but all sounds so Joyless

Revisado: 04-09-23

Yes, we all need to parent ourselves and do stuff that is boring or annoying, but what about using a little mindfulness and find the joy in the activity, not just brute force to get through it? Hate exercise, maybe you love to ride a bike, walk, hike, ski, or even just acknowledge that it is hard at the time, but you can focus on how great you will feel once you start or afterwards. Unloading the dishwasher? It takes like 5-10 mins - set a timer and you’ll realize you can get it done in the time it takes to read a newspaper article but you’ll have a sense of satisfaction when it is finished. Good information but think it doesn’t honor understanding yourself and finding what is right for you. And I have heard that parenting, as she describes it, doesn’t teach kids to develop their own intrinsic motivation because they got used to it being extrinsic, directed by their parents. Sometimes can produce rebellious kids.

Best channeled work

Revisado: 10-09-22

I was so eager for this next book to come out and it did not disappoint. I often listen while I am walking or hiking and it elevates my experience to be sort of a walking meditation. Paul’ voice is so wonderful to listen to and the message is profound. These books have changed me and my life. They are the most important content I have encountered since reading the Seth books in the 1970s.

Helped me understand my childhood issues

Revisado: 04-03-17

Would you listen to Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents again? Why?

Yes, probably, because the information is relevant to my personal development.

What other book might you compare Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents to and why?

Yes, and would like to hear more books on this topic.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Marguerite Gavin?

I don't like this narrator. She has a bit of a pedantic or didactic tone that I found hard to listen to. Oftentimes I like the books that are narrated by the author.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it took a lot of concentration so I listened to it at about 1-2hrs at a time while working on a hobby.

Very good

What did you love best about The Marshmallow Test?

It gives a more broad prospective on the Marshmallow test than much of what has been written in the past. Very helpful and in line with many other books on children and self-control.

Great book for a road trip with teens

Revisado: 09-02-15

If you could sum up All the Light We Cannot See in three words, what would they be?

This book was required summer reading for my 17 year old daughter. She was having trouble reading it, so she asked if we could listen to it in the car while we were on our 2-week, 3500 mile road trip through the west. We all enjoyed listening to it together and it made our drive go by faster. Really interesting story, although the non-linear nature of historical accounts made it a little hard to follow, and was the reason why it made it hard for my daughter to read in the first place. There are two main characters, which the story switched between on every chapter and goes back and forward in time. This can make it is easy to get confused, but as the characters lives converge at the end, it makes for an interesting listen.

Title is misleading about college admission

Revisado: 06-04-15

I would have given this book a four star review but it seems like the title was chosen to sell more books.This is actually a good book for parents of young adolescent children on best practices for raising children. The title implies that it offers information about college admissions success. The content includes recommendations for parenting values and practices that should be implemented very early in a child's life. If you've purchased this book when your child is 16 or 17 to inform yourself on about how to help your son or daughter apply to colleges, it is for the most part too late to implement the parenting practices recommended.

Not much depth but some good suggestions

Revisado: 05-18-15

I gave this book three star because it present some very basic information on good practices for parenting, but does not have the depth of thought of other best selling parenting books. Also, there was a hint of religiousness with quotes from the Bible at the beginning of some chapters that I was not interested in.
