It’s the spring of 1938 and no longer safe to be a Jew in Vienna. Nineteen-year-old Elise Landau is forced to leave her glittering life of parties and champagne to become a parlor maid in England. She arrives at Tyneford, the great house on the bay, where servants polish silver and serve drinks on the lawn. But war is coming, and the world is changing. When Kit, the son of Tyneford’s master, returns home, he and Elise strike up an unlikely friendship that will transform Tyneford - and Elise - forever. An irresistible World War II story of a forbidden romance in a great English country house.

Fun read, engaging
Revisado: 09-19-22
I liked the historical setting of WWII in England and was engaged by Elise's evolution, when forced to move from her beloved Austria and everyone she knew and loved.
Narrator's doing character voices is always tricky for me, though. I think overall she does a decent job, and eventually I was into the story enough to let go.
However, when she speaks as Elise, using an Austrian accent, the register she chose always sounded whiney & plaintive to me. It pulled me out of the story more often than I would have liked--so I deducted one star for this.

In a series of enticing, irresistibly practical dialogues, the Guides of I Am the Word identify the emotional "boulders" that displace our authentic selves and consume our potential. The Guides provide to-the-point psychological and existential insights, along with self-developing exercises and affirmations, which begin to strip away residues of fear, self-doubt, and self-suffocating habits.

Took me a while
Revisado: 09-08-22
The furst time I tried listenung I kept tripping over the repetition and "Christ Conscoiiusness." I got bored easily and felt like it droned on in vagueries. I wasn't ready.
It's now several months later and I tried again. I was riveted, often listening to especially resonant passages multiple times before moving on. I honestly can't say what changed. I feel the same, but clearly I'm different, because I actually heard what was being communicated and it made sense..
This book left me feeling hopeful and more loving in grneral. I thought the exercises were interesting and challenged me where I still hold grudges. Paul Selig's voice is very pleasant and I like the sprinkles of dry wit , even though I don't think the guides were trying to be funny.
I will likely listen to this book again and again.

If you caught a glimpse of heaven, would you choose to comeback to life?
Investigative journalist Judy Bachrach has collected accounts of those who died and then returned to life with lucid, vivid memories of what occurred while they were dead, and the conclusions are astonishing. Clinical death - the moment when the heart stops beating and brain stem activity ceases - is not necessarily the end of consciousness, as a number of doctors are now beginning to concede.

Well Rounded
Revisado: 06-17-22
This book was both skeptical and open ended, exploring NDE's (or DE's, as the author poses) from multiple facets: interviewing experiencers & their families/friends, medical practitioners, hospice, scientific researcher, etc. The author clearly has her own journey as she explores her curiousity and personal biases. As someone who is certain we survive death, I especially appreciated the chapters on negative death experiences, and the input from doctors and researchers who think the experience is more likely the physiology of a dying brain & body.
I struggled slightly with the reader's afect/tone, it felt measured and acted. I got used to it, though, and was able to let go of judgement to enjoy the material.
