I like it

Revisado: 09-14-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Pure Meditation to be better than the print version?

Im sure their about the same

What other book might you compare Pure Meditation to and why?

Brene Browns seminar: The Power of vulnerablity. Equaly good humor.

Have you listened to any of Pema Chodron’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Buy this book if you are interested in meditation. Pema Chodrons walks you throught some of the things that Im sure many beginners (and perhaps experienced as well) has wondered about. There are several good points in the audiobook. I wont reveal them here. They should be enjoy together with Pema Chodrons.

Any additional comments?

The start was a bit borrowing to me. So dont get disencouraged.

Its nice, but!

Would you try another book from Glenn Harrold and Ali Calderwood and/or Glenn Harrold?

Sure. For a period of time, Glenn Harroid put me to sleep with his "Ultimate Guide To Overcoming Stress"

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It is a visualisation... ? There was no surprises.

Would you be willing to try another one of Glenn Harrold’s performances?

Didnt I just answer that quistion above? :)

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 852hz Solfeggio Meditation?

The recording is nice. There is just this female voice singing in the background, from time to time, which really got on my nerves. I would definetly cut her out.

Any additional comments?

None

Worrying

Revisado: 05-21-11

I like the message. Love your way through life and everything will come your way.

BUT I find it indeed very problematic to make the listener believe that his/her thoughts is the direct cause of what is happening around him/her. Like the example where a husbands concerns about having a new child is made into the direct cause of the child being born prematurely with a very high risk of dying, thereby almost making him into a murderer. This is the recipe for making people go insane. You are truly allowed to have your own feelings without feeling guilty. Your feelings are nature’s way of helping you orient yourself in this world. Good feelings mean you are having a good time, bad feelings that something troubling you. Making your concerns into a problem, and even something which can bring others lives in danger is craziness.

Music and quotes is used throughout the book to underline statements making them stand out has a universal truth.
It reminds me of religious persuasion, with no place for critical thinking.

I honestly think Audible should consider selling this audiobook.

Not my cup of tea

Revisado: 04-14-11

I really liked D. liebermans "Setting Boundaries with Difficult People: A Survival Guide for People Pleasers", but this audiobook Im sorry to say I really couldt get through.

The signs of deception presented in the book could also be signs of insecurity, the rest were somewhat trivial to me. The techniques for getting people to come clean, were manipulation (until I stopped the listening 1h 20m into the book). To me manipulation (eg making others believe that you approve, respect or even appreciate a dishonest act, was all to much for me. I find an honest-seeking-to-listen-and-understand approach must more effective and rewarding.

God and Satan was not what I was looking for

Revisado: 04-10-11

The Power of Delete is "finding God (and resisting Satan)". This terminology is strange and unfamiliar to me. A Christian might view this differently.

I was looking for a secular book.

(I find it problematic that the Publisher's Summary doesnt reveal that the book is directed toward Christians. Had I known it, I would not have bought it).

A nice intellectual talk

Revisado: 04-10-11

I felt in love with don Miguel Ruiz after listening to the book ”The Voice of Knowledge”. This program however seems more like a repetition of (to me) somewhat trivial “common” knowledge about love and relationship. E.g. one has to love oneself in order to love others, that love is accepting and respecting (and not wanting to chance your partner), and so on.

The book doesn’t contain any tools og recommendation for getting to the “right “stage for “mastering love”, which makes it more an intellectual talk about what you should be, but probably aren’t. The latter because - as explained in the book - modern man is somewhat “ruined” by his own history of hurt and expectation/demands from his surroundings.

I give this book three stars, because I connect with its values and understandings. If you are however familiar with literature about love and relationships the book doesn’t contains anything surprisingly new. In this case you might want to save the time and energy.

A visualization exercise, too fast and extraneous

Revisado: 04-05-11

Christian Baker speaks so fast, that I really didn’t get to relax (as instructed to). And the things you are told imagine, I felt was more a poor form of brainwash then it was realistic pictures/feelings, I could relate to. It is possible that others can benefit from the exercise, I’m sorry to say, I didn’t.

Nice and encouraging

Revisado: 04-03-11

The concept of failing forward is nice and encouraging. But the book is storybased and the points mainly summarized by the phrase "try, try and try again". The stories told underline this point. If you just keep trying you will inevitably succeeded. It’s a bit annoying that the author doesn’t take into account that, because some made it through hardship and failure, some will not.

The book is very one-dimensional, focusing almost entirely on the goals such as earning money or/and recognition from the "outside" world.

It doesn’t discuss what our dreams and goals are made of. Perhaps some goals which you are failing to achieve could use some investigation. Perhaps the goals are not truly yours but put upon you by others/surroundings, or perhaps you have stopped believing in yourself making it (unconsciously) impossible for you to success. The book does thought, point out that your attitude toward your goals is important.

The superficial approach of the book makes it a bit uninteresting, extraneous and lengthy.
But the book is nice and encouraging. And on a long, lonely night with some recent failures troubling you, I'm sure it will bring you some pleasant comfort.
