Truly is straw into gold

Revisado: 01-09-23

Individually, Mann’s guests and she discuss some of the effects of trauma and dysfunction in childhood (never graphically) and how each has transformed, healed or recognized how these experiences have entered or been accepted and effectively communicated through creative expression. It is an affirmation that, no matter what the experience, we all belong and no one is truly alone.

Storytelling at its Best!

Revisado: 09-23-22

A magnificent book with interwoven intergenerational and globally connected lives and experiences. The writing is exceptional, seemingly simple yet evocative, sensual, emotionally engaging and thoughtful with an underlying musicality in the words that the performers further enhance in a naturalistic manner. Highly recommend: engaging, satisfying, compelling.

Engaging and Well Performed

Revisado: 06-24-18

This book surprised me. It was a freebie or I would never have read it. I'm not interested in murder, suspense or mystery novels, yet Lindy Nettleton caught me with her voice and character interpretation. I enjoyed the multi-POV story telling, character development and suspense.

Deep Engaging Wisdom with Humor and Immediacy

Revisado: 06-24-18

I love Brene Brown and highly recommend The Power of Vulnerability to everyone.
Braving the Wilderness took me by surprise in that it is just as important for people to hear/read since she focuses on the current U.S. political and social climate.
Brown once more provides important insights on social issues and behavior with passion, courage and intelligence so each of us can brave the wilderness and forge a more secure and kinder society.

Timeless Classic!

One of my favorite stories given even more warmth and richness through Meryl Streep's voice and character voices. Stunning story of love and redemption for all ages.

Greatness Recorded!

Revisado: 06-23-18

Unless you hate Obama, you'll likely love hearing his stirring articulate appeal for a more compassionate country and accountability for our own lives and actions and vision of the world and possibility for all.

Timeless!

Revisado: 06-23-18

The movie was so good I'd never considered reading this until Audible offered it as a promo. It's well worth a credit or buying.
The writing is rich and honed and Hoffman's restrained yet emotive voice is perfect for the narration.
The book is so much better than the film adaptation (I know this is usually the case, but it was a great movie). I highly recommend BEING THERE and have already re-listened to it and will continue to do so for the writing and carefully observed story.

Angeles Arrien with Timeless Wisdom

Revisado: 06-23-18

Though seemingly dated, the al-Qaeda attack in 2001 dramatically changed life in the United States. This kind of horror continues to require our attention and response in various forms. Cultural anthropologist and shaman, Angeles Arrien offers deep wisdom, intelligence and compassion in this conversation with Michael Toms. Well worth listening to both for their conversation but also because she is a model for the art of active listening.

Exceptional Listen

Revisado: 06-23-18

As a feminist in a culture that has sexualized a twelve-year-old as the predator, I was resistant to read this; however, Jeremy Irons' voice drew me in and I'm so glad.
Nabokov's LOLITA is oppositional to the common lurid cultural references and movie's depiction/bastardization of this extraordinary book. Dolores Haze is not the sexually manipulative girl alluded to in the culture and film, but instead the object of Humbert Humbert's erotic obsession. Nabokov's exquisite writing intelligently captures Humbert's increasing conflict between his obsession and the cultural mores that prevent his fulfillment.
I highly recommend this book especially with Irons' narration.
