Excellent listen - detailing our experiences in the real world

Revisado: 01-21-25

Finally a book that brings evidence to support claims I’ve been making for years now as a parent to gen z. A young parent at that!

Necessary read for teachers, parents, families with ADHD kids

Revisado: 01-08-25

This is a really quick easily digestible story that explains more details about some children’s experiences at school with adhd. This outlines the do’s, don’ts and actually helps make sense of stuff we experience in schools / families everyday. It encourages a different approach rooted in empathy and understanding. Good read.

This would be so much better without profane language

Revisado: 11-03-24

Here we are talking about positivity and neutrality and limiting outside influence in our homes in the text and every 3 rd word is f bomb a bomb and worse.

This is hard to listen to in public spaces such as my home whilst cooking or my car with the kids inside it. The point of the book, the story - really good. But the contradiction and hypocrisy is ridiculously obvious. Why is the reader swearing so much and ruining the whole point of the story. Since when has obscenity been viewed as positivity.

I wish he didn’t do this !

A strange and interesting story, worth the read

Revisado: 03-23-23

...always a treat to hear the author read their own stories and Tony Morrison, none better. This story is a little strange but still interesting and in many ways comes across as ahead of its time.

Amazing, gripping and inspiration for thoughts

Revisado: 03-12-23

Really enjoyed this story and the narration, would recommend. I love the variance in all the stories and the close connection to home, referencing SE london, Grey coat hospital and more.

Great writing.

The book shared stories about several topics, undiscussed, as such creates much food for thought.

Excellent book for those who suffer and those who don’t suffer and don’t understand migraine

Revisado: 12-31-21

This was an excellent book I wish there were more like it. It inspired me to write more about the condition, but mostly it provided me with COMFORT. Maria uses her research and language to accurately describe some of the challenges she faces as a migraineur and this was so familiar to me at times it was scary. I found myself in tears driving because I recognised some of the things she said, the minimising of pain, saying others have worse, giving up and not expecting anything to change and not even bothering to stay up to date on medical research in this arena.

Shocking ability to relate to the entire book as if I had written it myself and very similar episodes to Maria. Thanks Maria. This is excellent work and will help expose this problem many people face.

A somber, sometimes humorous matter of fact

Revisado: 09-22-21

Trust Jordan B to break down these 12 facts of living and approaches to life in a way that is typical of his lectures. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it plus will re-listen. Jordan is philosophical and always pairs views with archetypical examples from shared common knowledge or culture, the subject matter is heavy but this helps to lighten or clarify it.

Read by the author in a tone and delivery that brings light and humour to some very heavy subject matter at times.

Thanks, Jordan I look forward to a book written about modern times // the pandemic I hope we get one of those from you soon even a revision mapping what we experience now into these 12 principles for existence.

Fantastic book well worth a listen

Revisado: 06-25-20

Really refreshing fanatic book whjch sums up much of the race issues that exist in the uk. Afua describes her experiences as a young mixed rac girl almost in search of her identity. All the time underlying what it is to be part of the new black british generation.

Great read

I wish this girl next door was my BEST friend ...

Revisado: 06-02-20

I love Issa’s outlook on life and her sense of humour. She is so down to earth in the book as well as on her show. I just enjoy her company - in whatever form it comes in.

This book is funny as hell.

Comes highly recommended if you are an ISSA FAN.
Enjoy

Jung’s idea of the archetype ....

Revisado: 06-02-20

Described in a way that is easy to relate to and to engage with. I appreciate the delivery and the subject matter. This is a recommended book for anyone who is in the pursuit of understanding more about the hand we are born with interms of personality traits and characteristics of our soul. A little contradictory at times and lots of celebration about America a great nation - completely ignoring the other facts we know about how America came to be what we see today. That being said I did enjoy the book - i don’t think the shift we are witnessing is as a result of conflict between the Gods, but Caroline does describe and explore the typical archetypes well and suitable to the layman.

I like her notion of soul contracts - I believe there is some truth in that.
