Simple but Profound

Revisado: 03-26-25

This set of ideas, as my title indicates, is simple but profound, containing ideas worth internalizing to make one's own. I wouldn't say, though, as many of the comments suggest, that no more books are needed - that depends on the individual - but I would say that this is worth listening to.

Feels Inauthentic

Revisado: 03-23-25

This story did not feel authentic to me. It felt like something made up, something that any mediocre science fiction writer could come up with and there's no comparison to the writings of OBEers like William Buhlman or Jergen Ziewe. I became quite bored with this book and stopped two-thirds of the way through.

Unlistenable

Revisado: 02-06-25

The man who reads this Gospel does so in a way that makes it unlistenable for me. The problem is in how he reads the words of Ramakrishna himself. His way of reading them makes Ramakrishna sound like some kind of repressed robot stuck in a sort of self-imposed saint mode, his intonation neither rising nor falling, as if he's being very careful about every word and how he says it, always being infinitely careful to come off as highly virtuous and holy. Obviously this is the reader's idea of how a saint speaks. Ramakrishna was wild and raw but every bit the sage and true saint despite these qualities. The reader's way of reading Ramakrishna's words are, to put it bluntly, insipid. I could not listen to the reading for very long and I consider this purchase a waste of money. The reader does not understand who Ramakrishna was or what he was like.

Left Me With Feeling of Deeper Understanding

Revisado: 12-11-24

This book offered me many ideas that led to synthesis in regard to my own thoughts and views. It filled in some puzzling holes in my understanding as well. I will listen to it again.

This Is More About Chardin Than Chardin's Thought

Revisado: 12-10-24

This is much more a biography of Chardin than it is about his thought. For me at least, a waste of time, would return it if I could.

Not Convincing

Revisado: 11-01-24

I tend to be a fan of Hancock but this book about ancient America struck me as being weak, not convincing at all. I think that Hancock basically tried to transfer Atlantis to North America but he offers nothing I can construe as evidence. Actually, I think this is Hancock's weakest book to date.

The End of Prepping

Revisado: 04-22-24

For awhile, a few years back, I was a committed prepper but no more. No amount of prepping could prepare a person for what's described in this book. Nuclear war will be the end of our civilization and history as well as the end of all we dream of and hope for. There will be no grand future, no journey to the stars. There will be nothing, nothing.

This Lights the Mystery of Trump Up

Revisado: 02-14-24

This book lets the reader understand, not only Trump, but his followers and it sheds light on the whole movement (or cult) of Trumpism by so doing. Very insightful.

Not What I Thought It Would Be

Revisado: 02-14-24

This book is mainly a history of how humanity has viewed personality and formulated personality disorders from early Greek times onward through the DSM V. I gave it less than five stars because it wasn't what I was looking for in buying it. I thought I was going to get an overview of the personality disorders themselves rather than a history of them; if you're looking for this kind of history, this book's for you but otherwise, pause before you buy.

This Audible Book Is Not Well Formatted

Revisado: 08-23-23

I am giving this audible book a straightforward two stars because the separate sections in the work are not accessible as separate sections and neither are the sections even listed, in terms of the minute mark they start at; so separate sections can't be accessed in any convenient manner. Instead, the entire main body of the book - over two hours - is read as one, single block. That is unacceptable for a book like this. Well, this is unacceptable for any book, but especially for a piece of philosophy of this nature. The ideas which I might find particularly healing can't be located for repeated listening.
