Not a biography

Revisado: 02-21-24

I don't know why authors insist on starting a book with a family history or personal autobiography? I purchased this book to learn about the topic in the title. Sorry to be rude, but I did not buy your book to learn your history. And certainly not 5 or 6 chapters. I want to learn about the mother tree. I had to stop listening because I became so bored. Sorry to be so direct, but keep the story about the topic and not an autobiography.

Loved it. Pollan is so relatable

Revisado: 03-13-22

Pollan again, takes us on a journey where he maintains the hint of skepticism that stops us short of unintentional bias. It is as if he knows where our reluctance to accept every woowoo antidote lies for today's modern homo sapien. Honest, refreshing and enlightening in a relatable way that enables the reader to make an informed decision on the topic.

Great material. Annoying narration.

Revisado: 11-17-21

The information was very interesting, but the female narrator read every question in the script with an exaggerated uplift at the end of each question that was very annoying. Her portrayal of the female part's (Dolores) emotions did not match the intended emotion. Hate to harp on it, but it was acted so badly that it overshadowed the content and was very disjointed. The publisher should increase the budget for narration and find more professional narrators.

Nothing like expectedI

Revisado: 10-05-20

I did not know that I was going to hear about the practices and short comings of psychotherapy. I was expecting to hear about Jung's opinions regarding spirit and the soul. Maybe I was not engrossed in the material or was fast forwarding too much through the material, but I felt like I was either mislead or just totally missed the subject material of the title or description. Jung fans will probably enjoy the tome,but I did not. Good luck.

Trying hard to stay engaged.

Revisado: 04-12-20

2 chapters in and the narrator is so distracting. Can't pinpoint any specific reasons except to agree with another reviewer. She is goofy and emphasizes with odd theater on the text. I will give you an update if I can get through the entire book.

Wonderful, interactive and thought provoking

Revisado: 03-12-20

The author has a soothing and friendly manner. Never condescending or preachy. Just pragmatic lessons and meditation sessions helping you to form a better link to your body, Chakras and best of all, your spirit guides who are always at the ready to help you with your own human experience. This will be a book that I return to, time and again until I formulate my own best spiritual practice to enhance my experience. Thank you Marie for a truly enlightening (PI) act of unconditional love. Namaste, Randy Wolken in Texas.

Fantastic read

Revisado: 12-08-19

What we have been taught growing up is a product of an apathetic, educational administration who have forgotten or never bought in to the great responsibility that was bestowed upon them. Education is a calling and it is not a career aspiration leading to enrichment, although the best should be paid more. Thank goodness for people like Gregg who understand the importance of being knowledgeable and up to date on the human experience. Get this book and top off your knowledge or get a reboot of your own mislead knowledge base which is the fault of the apathetic educational administrators.

Very Disappointed

Revisado: 11-22-19

If you have ADHD like I do, this book will drive you crazy! It is dull, convoluted and without a discernible direction. If you are looking for stories regarding life after death, or at least something resembling the sub-title, this book is not for you. While I really enjoyed the author’s earlier books, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife and Living in a Mindful Universe; A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness, this one is the complete opposite—one that I could not finish. I caught myself actually thinking "What does that section even have to do with the subject matter?" The vastness in difference between Map of Heaven and the earlier 2 books is astounding. What a disappointment. It takes serious disappointment for me to give this bad of a review, since I am a very patient and forgiving person, but it reads like the author does not have any more to say about his NDE and filled this book with quotes from other people read very slowly to stretch it out. He also goes in to depth about a subject here and there that is so far removed from the subject that it left me scratching my head and thinking I missed something and repeated the section to see what I missed. Pass on this book and buy another book.
