Good Reading

Revisado: 08-15-16

What did you love best about Walk like a Buddha?

I enjoyed Lodro's narration - he seemed very authentic and plugged into what he was talking about.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I felt like this was really just a sampler... I think I would've liked much more depth in some areas and complete removal of other content.

A great beginner's buddhist intro. Maybe not great for people looking to specifics of technique or practice.

Solid Journalist at Heart

Revisado: 08-15-16

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

Yes. Obsessively good information on a fringe topic.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The bird's eye view which Hancock is great at creating.

Which character – as performed by Graham Hancock – was your favorite?

Graham Hancock.

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

No.

Any additional comments?

I think this may be a book that reader's would do well to get as a hardcopy. There is some information contained within where I really felt like I needed the visual representations to fully understand what was being talked about.

Hancock is a great narrator (unlike many author/readers), but the complexity of the information and the nature of that information really needs images to fully convey the story he is getting across.

Useful, Robotic

Revisado: 08-15-16

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Neil Fiore?

I found the narration sort of robotic and off-putting.

Was The Now Habit worth the listening time?

There was some useful information within this book that I hadn't heard before around procrastination.

I have heard evolutionary explanations (ie You're basically at war with impulsivity coming from mammal brain - the immediacy and intensity of which is stronger than longterm goals because they are deeper and older in the brain's structure).

What I hadn't heard was an Emotional-Motivational framework explaining what causes procrastination... I found this intensely useful. Basically the one take-away I have after listening.

**Basically start by telling yourself you'll be okay even if you fail, work out what it looks like if you fail, work out how you will cope and how you'll still be fine. Starting from that POV versus what we normally do (make it life or death and immediately trigger our fight-flight-freeze) will stop you from creating the paradigm that keeps you stuck in paralysis.**

Any additional comments?

There was a lot of repetitious name-dropping of 'the system' that Neil Fiore created. Lots of recycling of information too.
