Amazing!

Revisado: 03-07-20

I love this book! Thank you Marsha for sharing yourself so authentically and opening up about how DBT got its roots. I do not care much for the narrator as she can come across as being a little robotic, however the memoir made up for that. As a new social worker, I also purchased the book in both hard copy and kindle to help with group therapy. I have also faced my own mental health challenges and I recall in my early recovery asking professionals what personal experience they had that would be beneficial for me. I was not interested in people helping me that just had a degree and book knowledge but I wanted help from others who had been where I was and knew first hand what would help me feel better. It completely makes sense that Marsha knew this would be evidenced based practice. She lived this! Thank you!!!

Inspiring story, narrator was uninspiring

Revisado: 01-31-20

While this story was inspiring and motivated me to start my own running program, the narrator was difficult to listen to. I wish she had a little more excitement in her style. I did however sign up our family for a 5k in a couple months. I also set a goal to run a half when I turn 50. I ran a half when I was 40. I don’t want the 26.2 sticker. I’ve always coveted the 13.1 sticker 😜

Unexpected enjoyment!

Revisado: 10-24-19

I am a Democrat and very liberal. Another friend that shares the same political views as I do recommended this book and I was not disappointed. What I did not expect was to find that Barbara Bush had similar views as I do and was more progressive than I ever expected. There were times when I disagreed on the stance she took but the book was excellent on helping me understand why she took that stance. Overall this book was excellent at sharing Barbara’s story and the impact she made on the world. I’m glad I listened to this audiobook.

Don’t believe everything you hear/read

Revisado: 09-30-19

While there are some facts/myths I agree with in this there are some that I completely disagree with. I had to read a few of these “myths” in a graduate social work course I am taking and decided to listen to the whole book since it triggered such a strong reaction for me. The narrator also spoke so fast in many parts and I was not the only person that thought so. In other parts the narrator spoke at a normal pace. I thought that maybe I accidentally had the book playing on a fast pace. I’m sure there will be more editions of this text book so in the future editions please narrate at a normal pace.

Loved every minute of this book!

Revisado: 09-06-19

I love Trevor’s story telling style and have been enjoying his comedy for some time. I am glad I listened to this book. The comedy, tragedy, drama, and culture is shared in a way that I could envision it all! As an American I still struggle with understanding exactly what a “Colored person” is since I also listened to Nelson Mandela’s book but Trevor helped me with this understanding. As a Jewish woman I particularly enjoyed the chapter on hitler! Keep being the humanitarian that you are Trevor!

Inspiring and empowering!

Revisado: 07-02-19

A year ago I got a tattoo on my arm that says “i am enough.” I wonder why this message is one thing that many women feel is not true and we struggle with this? I love the performance of this book and especially liked the addition with Mr and Mrs Welteroth at the end. I also purchased this book for my daughter - a biracial young woman that just graduated from college. As a current graduate student myself I felt inspired by Elaine’s story and her words. Thank you for your eloquence! I celebrate you and every person that is working to be enough and claim space in this world!

I didn’t want to stop listening to this story and feel inspired to assist in the peacekeeping process Mohamed was involved in. Thank you for daring to share your story! I pray for the safety and peace of Yemen and your family.

Difficult to follow some of the stories but entertaining

Revisado: 04-24-19

I did not realize these were short stories until after I purchased the book. My favorite chapter and the one that I will likely return to often is chapter 2. I am a group leader in a behavioral health hospital and that chapter had rolling with laughter! I would love more of chapter 2 please! All the performances were excellent!

I love that Brené dictates this book and that she personalizes it for audible. I want to get the pdf forms to continue working various points she makes throughout the book. Thank you!

I love listening to Michelle Obama share in her own voice her story! I feel strongly that everyone regardless of race or gender should read this book. Thank you Michelle for sharing your authentic voice with the public!
