good book but narrator sucks

Revisado: 03-27-25

he pronounces everything wrong and inconsistently... it's a pain to listen to. please have someone else redo the narration. I can't stand it.

good

Revisado: 02-12-25

it's very long and it might be kind of advanced for most grounded individuals. audible already has yoga sutras free if you have a monthly subscription, but that one is much shorter and easier to understand. after listening to that a few times, I recommend this because it goes much deeper, since this book is mostly commentary expounding on the original text which is also included. very long book but a lot of good info. you might get enlightened reading it or it will help at least.

it's okay

Revisado: 10-11-23

the author is too scientific and uses many scientific examples from the past. the one thing he says that I agree with is that science is only beliefs which means that if you believe in science, you're invariably going to be wrong since scientific beliefs get outdated all the time, so there's not much point in believing in science very strongly. Which means you're narrow-minded if you believe only in scientific theories or other proven sciences strictly.

but in my opinion, this book doesn't have anything that really makes you go "wow" and transforms your beliefs so you can make money or live a propserous or fulfilling life or anything like that. it's purely stating scientific reasoning, which is sort of obvious already.

Another spiritually based self help book. It's pretty well disguised and I prefer that, but at the end there's a bit too much of it. Might as well just take up a spiritual practice and do real yoga while leaving this sort of stuff behind if the answer is always about having positivity and inflated self value about how you're more deserving than others and such. All these self help books nowadays are all really the same book, just tweaked a slight bit for the subject matter.

Good book

Revisado: 09-10-23

It's like having a mentor. Explains some psychological concepts and practical tips to overcome mental blocks of fear. Uses some real life examples to illustrate points. I feel like I got something good out of this book.

Bunch of Bible verses basically

Revisado: 09-10-23

and talking about the Christian idea of god, which requires you to have belief in this religion, which of course doesn't help at all if you don't believe it. Does it even really help the believers? Does the author even believe it? Just don't see how this is supposed to help at all, sorry. I think Christians just think the Bible has answers to everything, which of course it doesn't. So yeah, if you're looking for an academic book on how to get rid of fear, this is not it.

If you want something logical about fear and practical ways to overcome, read Dr Hawkins books like "transcending the levels of consciousness," or "letting go," etc.

Too many f*cks

Revisado: 08-30-23

I don't really like hearing the words f*CK and sh*t every two seconds when I'm trying to peacefully listen to a book. Unnecessary.

Also uses too many modern words and rhetoric that I don't agree with, such as "cis" and "priveleged white male." Reverse racism and too much pandering to people's "differences." Shouldn't we focus on what's the same rather than what's different? Saying "white male" and "black" is what creates difference and separation between people.

Overall I'm not sure this book actually helps much with anxiety. The only thing I figured out that helps with anxiety is awareness (to "danger"), so develop that and save your time.

Well I got through it

Revisado: 08-03-23

it's really hard to believe women actually fall for this crap, but I know they do. even though I know all this, I will never talk to a woman this way. it's just too stupid. it works if you can lower yourself to this degree, but I will not be doing any of this. it goes against my entire personality. thanks anyway.
