Avoid No More
Revisado: 10-13-03
The Coward's Guide to Conflict is an excellent book for anyone who loves to avoid conflict. There are engaging exercises and good examples about a variety of avoidance methods. The author gives solid and proven techniques that will help you change your way of dealing with conflict. There are a plethora of opportunities to explore your relationship with conflict.
Unfortuntaely, the book is read too fast. It's hard to reflect on my relationship with conflict while listening to Rolland Lopez speed through exercises. Though his voice and diction are fine, the speed is just too fast. Listening to this type of psychological/coaching book requires the listener to become truly involved with the material, and that's pretty tough when the questions and concepts go by quickly.
Nevertheless, if you avoid conflict like I do, you will enjoy and benefit from listening to this book. If you take notes and pause to consider questions, you may reap benefits that will change your life. And if you enjoy a good fight, you might be able to improve your style of handling conflict - making the world a better place for all of us. Excellent!

In writing Leaves of Grass, Whitman succeeded in his ambition: to create something uniquely American. His poems have been woven into the very fabric of the American character. From his solemn dirges "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" and "O Captain! My Captain!" to the joyous freedom of "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," and "Song of the Open Road," Leaves of Grass lives on, providing inspiration to the people and poets of generations to come.

Disappointed
Revisado: 03-01-03
I'm in love with Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" - it's powerful, universal, and beautiful. The poetry touches my heart. So I downloaded the unabridged audio version in great anticipation.
I was sorely disappointed. There is apparently no heart involved with reading this material...no drama...no sense that anyone's listening.
This reading (because I cannot call it a performance) feels like a stuffy academician reading aloud to himself in a corner...and he's in a hurry to get to class he's taught over and over and over. There's no heart, no humor, no sense of the magnificence that "Leaves of Grass" has.
This is also a LONG piece of poetry, better experienced and savored slowly. In Format Two there are approximately nine CDs of material. I downloaded and 'burned' about six hours and could only listen to the first hour; I kept waiting for the narrator to slow down. He never did, and I did not download the remaining three hours.
Poetry is often best experienced when heard aloud. Listening to well read poetry is engaging and entertaining - often tickling funny bones & heart strings simultaneously.
An audio version of "Leaves of Grass" could transport the reader into US history the same way a great novel often does - after all, Whitman wrote much of "Leaves of Grass" about his everyday activities in the 1800's. This version, however, doesn't transport the listener anywhere.
Try reading parts of "Leaves of Grass" aloud to a loved one; savor the depth of human experience expressed through the words. Go listen to a live poetry reading in your town (maybe even a slam poetry event). Better yet, explore other poetry on Audible.com -- I especially have enjoyed "The Best Loved Poems of All Times, Vol. II."
