A True Classic

Revisado: 08-06-18

Shogun gives a detailed and fascinating window into an amazing time Japanese history.

The story has everything action, strategy, mystery and - of course - romance. If you like dramas with a complex political back drop then Shogun is for you.

Dry and a bit drawn out

Revisado: 11-20-13

What would have made The Emotional Life of Your Brain better?

As a statistician, I am used to dry material. However this material was presented very dryly and a was longer than necessary.

It seems the author tried to both entertain and please the scientific crowd at the same time. The result is likely to fall short on both accounts.

What could Richard J. Davidson and Sharon Begley have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

There were many times that the author went on extensively to present data to support hypothesis that many would intuitively know. I understand the value of this but it made the book a bit tedious.

The suggestions for how to impact your own emotion style are a very small portion of the book and are likely to not stand on their own as suggestions.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Emotional Life of Your Brain?

The idea and concepts of the book are in and of themselves interesting. Shortening the book substantially would have made it much more enjoyable.

Another Richard Rohr Classic

Revisado: 10-16-13

Would you listen to Things Hidden again? Why?

Yes, a fresh take on the Bible that makes sense of seeming contradictions in the text.

This book is meant to move you along the path to greater spirituality and a deeper understanding of the Bible. As I travel the path I think I will get more from it each time I listen to it based on where I am at the time.

What did you like best about this story?

Firmly grounded in Christianity but draws on other traditions as well, even if not overtly. Certainly does not give 'good' Christians a pass.

What about John Quigley’s performance did you like?

Well read and paced. John Quigley did a good job but I would have preferred to have Richard read it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Jewel Tree of Tibet?

I was not sure about the approach at first but the sessions picked up a nice rhythm and were quite enjoyable. I suspect I will visit the Jewel tree often as well as relisten to the program in the future.

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

No, I prefer to digest the information and then continue

Good Stuff

What was one of the most memorable moments of Healing Our Violence Through the Journey of Centering Prayer?

Really enjoyed the concept of demons and the parrallel to the pain body

Have you listened to any of Richard Rohr and Thomas Keating ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First by Thomas Keating. I have enjoyed the few Richard Rohr recordings that I have

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

Its not practical for me to listen to a long book all in one sitting. Also, i think you need to reflect on the content to get the most out of it.

Well Done

Revisado: 01-01-12

What did you like best about this story?

Wanting to see the best in everybody, encountering individuals that seemingly just want to inflict as much emotional pain as possible to others is hard to comprehend. This book validates that a significant amount of people actually do act to hurt others just for fun. Several of the examples could have come directly out of my life.

Any additional comments?

I have recommended this audio book to co-workers, friends and family. I consider it to be essential listening for all.
