Enjoyable

Revisado: 07-06-17

If you could sum up Running Man in three words, what would they be?

Keep Running Charlie

What did you like best about this story?

I didn't know who Charlie Engle was or much about the world of running. What makes Charlie's life interesting is that he's experienced his share of twists and turns. From drug addict to ultra marathoner to doing jail time, it's really the story of an ordinary guy who has been able to do extraordinary things

What about Charlie Engle’s performance did you like?

Simple and direct.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Charlie's moment in jail is an inspiring testimony to his persistence.

Any additional comments?

The ending could have been better! It just kinda went into the acknowledgements.

Really & Truly Boring

Revisado: 09-21-16

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Hard to say. The story was pretty dry.

What was most disappointing about Steve Martin’s story?

His life doesn't reflect the zaniness of his work. While I get that, his life actually sounded quite boring outside of his career and rather unremarkable.

How could the performance have been better?

He sounds very unenthusiastic and flat.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Born Standing Up?

hard to say

Any additional comments?

Watch his movies, but avoid this book.

Vital Information but Matt needs a better mike!

Revisado: 04-14-16

What made the experience of listening to Ready, Set...PROCRASTINATE! the most enjoyable?

Practical advice for the diehard procrastinators

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was just ok, but the voiceover artiste Matt should really get a better microphone and room to record in. The recording sounded echoey and a little on the less professional side, which was a shame.

An Original

Revisado: 08-20-14

What did you love best about The Elephant to Hollywood?

I first read Michael Caine's biography What's It All About? which tracks Caine's upbringing from the working class to Hollywood. That was quite a while ago, and I was glad to update myself with his spoken version. And who better to tell Michael Caine's story than Michael Caine? It's a long story but he's had an amazingly long career - it's personal enough and a testament to his determination to make it in spite of the odds. Mostly enjoyable. You can't fault the non-events that are inevitable in an autobiography like this....PS I'm going to miss Sir Michael Caine when he's gone. They don't make stars like him anymore.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There is only one leading man here.

Potent Subject - But Maybe Not the Best Execution

Revisado: 08-20-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I can understand the negative reviews of this audiobook / lecture. Caroline Myss does meander here and there and I lose her train of thought now and then. It's apparent that Caroline knows what she wants to say but something is left out. I think this could have been edited a bit for repetition. Caroline pulls no punches in this one - it's hard and almost confrontational, underscoring the urgency of her message. She starts strong - meanders - and ends strong. This is the voice of someone who is concerned about the state of humankind and it shows. I felt this in my gut.

What was one of the most memorable moments of What Makes Us Healthy??

It's all about the truth and being true to ourselves...hover over me God.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Caroline Myss?

Of course. But would be good to figure out how to differentiate one book from another! There are similar themes.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Caroline is one of the most passionate speakers there is.

Any additional comments?

Listen and learn!

Caroline Myss Rocks

Revisado: 11-03-13

What did you love best about The Language of Archetypes?

Caroline Myss is a Master of dissecting who we are and addressing our calling in life. The Language of Archteypes fills in the missing pieces. Caroline's straight talking, down-to-earth way of embracing and expanding on a complex subject is at once powerful, and focussing.

What other book might you compare The Language of Archetypes to and why?

Haven't heard anything like it.

The One & Only Caroline Myss

Revisado: 10-12-13

Would you listen to Self-Esteem again? Why?

Self Esteem is a complex yet essential subject. Caroline Myss brings a lot of insights into the subject, but being a speech - the listener will have to focus on her points and insights.

Caroline Myss has a lot to offer. She is one of the most profound and unique minds in the field of self-help, self-realisation and healing today.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Self-Esteem?

We can't elevate our self-esteem by knocking others. Plus simple meditations about dealing with negative comments.

What does Caroline Myss bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Caroline Myss is Caroline Myss. She walks and talks the talk. It's a very personal subject for her. However, that said, sometimes we need to review details as there are layers to the information she is presenting.

What did you learn from Self-Esteem that you would use in your daily life?

Quite a few things.

Deepak's Best

Revisado: 02-22-10

This is perhaps the most relevant and up to date book I've heard from Deepak Chopra. Highly recommended. Yes - you may have to get used to his accent if you're American. I'm Asian and have no problems with his words. What he has to say is excellent.

Download It!

Revisado: 07-10-09

Robin Sharma gives good advice and he's down to earth and warm. So in short, this is a good pep talk for all leaders - and would be leaders. Some of us don't have a choice, but Robin gives some simple words to live by in an emphatic way.

So to sum up: He's Passionate, It's Free, What are You Waiting for? Download!
