When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

Both narration and book are excellent!
Revisado: 03-02-21
An excellent book with descriptions of both the history of psychedelic treatment, what it is and how it works, as well as a vivid description of the subjective experience itself. Pollen makes several observations about psychedelics, both objective and phenomenological, with great efficiency and aesthetic, more concisely put than I'd ever heard these concepts described!

I felt encouraged by listening to this collection
Revisado: 06-08-18
Oprah interviews different people about their spirituality and their concept of, and relationship to, The One aka 'God'. I enjoyed listening to the hour long dialogues, which showcase varied perspectives in faith, life, and mysticism. I felt inspired or touched by almost every interview. Features guests such as: Michael Bernard Beckwith, Eckhardt Tolle, Michael Singer, and others.

Julie fully expected to be breathing at the end of the trip - but driving into Death Valley felt like giving up, surrendering. She'd spent years battling a mysterious illness so extreme that she often couldn't turn over in her bed. The top specialists in the world were powerless to help, and research on her disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, was at a near standstill. Having exhausted the plausible ideas, Julie turned to an implausible one. Going against both her instincts and her training, she followed the advice of strangers she'd met on the Internet.

I like how the author intertwined personal experience with her own research into her condition, and self experimentation. It made the book easy to listen to, and engaging both at a personal level and an intellectual level.

Great collection of guided meditations and talks!
Revisado: 08-25-17
This collection of talks and guided meditations by Kornfield is a tool one can use over and over. However, you must use Audible's bookmark tool to mark beginning of each meditation if you wish to access them on demand, as the audio is not pre-split in this way.

Why do some products capture our attention, while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us? This audiobook introduces listeners to the "Hooked Model", a four-step process companies use to build customer habits. Through consecutive cycles through the hook, successful products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back repeatedly - without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.

How can we bring an effortless yes to this moment? How do we stop running from “the mess of life”—our predicaments, our frustrations, even our search for liberation—and start flowing with all of it? With The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster invites us to discover the ocean of who we are: An awareness that has already allowed every wave of emotion and experience to arrive.

Profound Truth. Freeing.
Revisado: 01-21-14
What did you love best about The Deepest Acceptance?
Foster really addresses the core of the free life, acceptance, in a way that is accessible to the layman and practitioner a like. Spoken with a peaceful British accent, it's an inviting audio that reminded me to be gentle with myself and lured me into self-acceptance in a refreshing way.
What did you like best about this story?
He busts the common myth of good vs. bad emotion, and really drives home that acceptance in the here and now is the ideal orientation...rather than trying to be happy all the time.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Foster’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. This is my first time to hear Jeff Foster.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
That every situation, every emotion that comes up during the day, is just a wave in the ocean that is life. Resisting a situation or an emotion, is as futile as resisting a wave in the open water. Recognize every wave is a part of who I am, and accept what I'm feeling and going through, in the here and now.
Any additional comments?
The audiobook seems repetitive to me. Seems like he's saying essentially the same thing many times over. It's a good message to hear though.
