Healing

Revisado: 10-16-21

Stephen Levine is an amazing meditation teacher, he teaches you how to relate to yourself and heal your bodymind with the right awareness. I keep coming back to his meditations because I keep learning from them.

Very funny

Revisado: 05-25-20

Nothing very deep but very entertaining, partly because of the light tone and writing and partly because of the nostalgia. This made me want to replay the video games from my childhood and I might do just that!

Literally Magical

Revisado: 05-09-20

I love this book so much. Not like I love an interesting story, or a helpful word of advice. No, I love it like I love a friend, a person I want to spend my whole life around to be constantly exposed to their wisdom so that I won't forget how life ought to be lived. And if I ever do, if I ever wander back to destructive, negative mindsets, they will be there to remind me.
This is a fairly short listen, but it is deeply inspiring. It is not the type of structured books that offer scientifically proven ways to solve your problems and make you take notes every chapter. This book's essence is very philosophical, it speaks shamelessly of the metaphysical, and flows lightly like a story. Elizabeth Gilbert is also a wonderful narrator. She has this soft, soothing voice and this gentle inflection that makes listening to the audiobook an intimate experience, almost dream-like. In this book, she aims to calm you and reassure you with hard truths, and in the process make your mind open to this paradox and many more.
Ultimately, this book will not hold the same value for everyone. I trust that I will listen to it again, as many times as I need to fill myself with its loveliness. If you feel lost and scared and lonely, then I believe this book would help you. If you feel alright and can afford to, listen to it anyway. There is precious insight in there.

Quality writing

Revisado: 03-27-20

While a few chapters towards the end were weak compared to the powerful first half, this book remains a great reference and makes very good points. In fact this is my second listen and I relearned a lot; I believe this won't be my last time coming back to this book. It definitely has a lot more information than I remembered from my first time, and simply applying half of it will be a pretty long process. Still, I believe it will be worth it.

Lighthearted and.relaxing

Revisado: 03-22-20

I've.enjoyed this very much! I've been listening to it before sleep and it's definitely the kind of lighthearted content I wish to see more of. Nothing fancy, the jokes are very basic but I found them funny and the performance is heartwarming. Since English isn't my first language I expected a lot of jokes to go over my head, and few of them did, but overall this was very accessible.

Brings you home to yourself

Revisado: 03-14-20

Inspiring on so many different levels, a must-read for women who struggle to prove themselves and are trapped dealing with perfectionism, the modern society and its productivity cult.
The practical advice is essentially the same as in the author's other book, Woman Code, but the narrative is centered towards inspiring women to embark on a journey towards self-awareness and intuitive change. If you are not familiar with the author's other writings, this is a good introduction to her approach.

If you have a certain knowledge and interest in diets and health in general, you are likely to find health advice that goes against what you are convinced of. Regardless of that, you could still benefit from the advice. The point of this book is not to make you perfectly mimic the diet and exercise plans presented therein. Rather, the point is to make you aware of certain facts and patterns to make you redesign your lifestyle, and to encourage you to force less on your body and become more receptive to its moods. So if you take no practical advice from the book (though they are plenty and you will surely find something you can apply), you will at least find inspiration and precious lessons on how to reduce friction with your own body.
