Powerful and Valuable Book

Revisado: 08-11-16

Would you listen to The 3 Dimensions of Emotions again? Why?

This is a very powerful book. Dr. Sam Alibrando has tackled one of the most complex issues facing any human: how to recognize, understand, control, and manage our emotional responses to positive and negative experiences. He does it in a simple, articulate, warm, humorous, and concise way. Not only does he provide clear explanations of some of the science and literature about human behavior and psychology, he uses examples and stories that all of us can related to, whether related to our job, our boss, our co-workers, our spouse or partner, our family, and our friends. He also provides some easy-to-use tools for self-assessment, evaluation, and planning. This is clearly the product of decades of experience and thoughtful insight drawn from his professional and personal experience. For anyone who continues to try to be his or her "best self," this will be time well spent.

What other book might you compare The 3 Dimensions of Emotions to and why?

The author references works by Eckhart Tolle which are appropriate. However, other books that describe recent advances in the study of neurology and human behavior also apply.

Which character – as performed by Don Hagen – was your favorite?

Not applicable

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

No - I felt there is so much to consider, it is best digested in pieces.

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

This is a wonderful book, well told. With sensitivity and grace, Russell provides a great portrayal of beautifully flawed characters who are familiar to most of us only through quasi-mythical stories of the old-west. Undoubtedly, she will enhance the already vidid legend of Dr. John Henry Holliday.

Another great piece of literature from Brooks

Revisado: 03-02-12

What made the experience of listening to Caleb's Crossing the most enjoyable?

Brooks always conducts thorough research of her topics in order to present as accurate and rich a picture of the time and place as possible. Caleb's Crossing is no exception. She has selected an interesting and difficult time in the early history of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Written in the voice of the daughter of a preacher on Martha's Vineyard, she has addressed the issues of religious zealotry, woman's place in that society, inter-class dynamics, and prejudice against Native Americans. She is a truly gifted writer and her characters, although carefully defined by the values and beliefs of the era, are compelling and believable. Like her other books, she manages to connote struggle, tragedy, passion, and redemption. I know some people have an issue with the reader, but Brooks always seems to find the right voice for her stories. I felt Jennifer Ehle was a good choice for this book.
