Dark and Depressing Walk Through Pedagogy

Revisado: 08-09-23

I can't tell where she is criticizing and where she is advocating for manipulation and abuse. Confusing, triggering, dark. I enjoyed her book on the gifted child more, though it had some of this. This book is full of gut wrenching ideas and religious dogma and it is not clear if she is saying this is good or bad much of the time, but it definitely feels very bad in my body. Hate stirring. Do not recommend for general consumption. She seems completely obsessed with punishment and how to do it better? This book has made me very sad for humanity. It is not helpful or hopeful, and just goes on and on about how to punish children into being good punishers of themselves? This book has turned my perception of pedagogy very dark and left me feeling very grateful for all the neglect I was gifted in my childhood. I was labeled gifted and still feel punished for it most days...as agonizing is it is to feel freewilled in our modern domesticated society, I am very grateful to be me. ...is she actually saying we should use corpses to teach children about human sexuality?!? HOW is this woman considered an expert? I guess if breaking wills and propagating shame and abuse is your thing... She does this with an air of shame and blame towards those who shame and blame which I don't quite understand. I do find the argument that poisonous pedagody might create characters like Hitler to be sound and easy to follow, though not a knew idea for me.

Very Helpful!

This was one of dozens of books I listened to more than once on my healing journey. It was less triggering and more useful and soothing than many.

If god was a white dude in the sky this would be your ticket in

I live M. Singer’s energy, vibe, and conclusions….However, I found this absurdly thick with ‘must’s ‘have to’s and ‘should’s. I could only get into it as a letter to himself. Ugh to bible quotes at the end. Lots of privileged white guy energy but still some nuggets of wisdom if I put a lot of space around his perspective being very different from mine.

Valuable to all relationships

Revisado: 05-09-23

Although this is written aimed at therapists, I think it would be helpful to many couples, and I found it helpful as an individual. I plan to add this to my reference section and utilize the sentence stems--I have come to many of the same conclusions on my own, so it was nice to have it 'spelled out' so specifically. I believe listening to this book has improved my relationship to myself and my relationship to relationship. Definitely worth the time to listen (which I did during my morning walks on 1.5x for a couple weeks).

Joy Harjo continues to be one of my all time favorite poets and storytellers. Her voice somehow transports aspects of her spirit right through the listener. This is a lovely collection of words and feelings I will enjoy more than once.

I wanted to like it but found it very triggering

Revisado: 04-27-23

Lovely voice, narrow perspective. I found the organization, or lack of, confusing, as the 6 steps are sprinkled through. Understanding it is written post course helped me make a bit more sense of it.. This seems to be written for people wanting to evolve beyond religious dogma and trying to find a sense of self...which the author calls soul. I found the idea of making 'soul pleaser' a proprietary idea rather offensive, and overall came away dissapointed by the lack of follow through on what started off as decent ideas. Yes, love yourself. Also, realize that there are many--infinite variations on how to do this.

This is one for the permanant library...Inspiring!

Revisado: 01-31-23

I just finished listening to the audiobook version and I will certainly listen again, and get a physical copy for the shelves. It is a soothing and inspiring work of encouragement to live our fullest, most beautiful, creative lives. Thank you Rick! I feel like you are helping me become a better producer and artist and human.

Great dose of confidence boosting story!

I enjoyed listening to the this twice. I’ve been a fan for some years and this felt like getting to know Lisa a whole lot better and a fresh perspective on ITU, a community I am increasingly proud to be a part of. Thank you Lisa! I especially enjoyed having it read by the author.
