Informative and Practical

Revisado: 07-06-24

Probably the best book on breathing I’ve read. I listen to it during my workouts. My sets are more focused and improved. Achieving an effective and efficient breathing pattern during all aspects of a workout, especially when lifting heavy to avoid injury, is so important.

No Need for Another Self-Improvement Book

Revisado: 03-24-19

After listening to this book, I feel this is the last self-help book I'll ever need to read. I'm so glad Dr. Pillermer did all the research he did and wrote this book for the benefit of mankind. Our elders, which we will all be one day, seem to be kept away in assisted living homes, and along with them, all of their wisdom. This book is a gem and I will return to it probably every year.

Excellent Book

Revisado: 02-04-19

I read and listen to a lot of books. When this book showed up while on Amazon I saw all the 5 stars were yellow. That's impressive, I thought.
I see why. I'm really digging this book. The narrator did a great job too. This book will definitely be a best seller. Thanks to the author for writing it.

Great book. Classic in the field

Revisado: 08-25-18

Loved the book when I read it years ago and listening to it again was great.
There is however a real annoyance with the music that punctuates sections and chapters throughout. It is misplaced, bad, and repetitive. I found myself fast forwarding each time the music came on. Advice to recording producers thinking about doing something similar, don't.

I Loved This Book

Revisado: 12-09-17

Fumio really nails it. This book goes beyond the basics of minimalism and into the realm of human nature in what it means to actually possess something; what it means to truly live without the constant need to acquire more things, and how we become happy almost spontaneously when we start getting rid of our possessions and live with only the essentials. I'm listening to it for the fourth times in about 3 months. The narrator has a great voice and it often reads like his is simply chatting over a cup of tea.

The Urban Monk swears a lot.

Revisado: 07-05-16

I really enjoyed this book and found many great topics for myself and some I can share with my patients. I do however think the author should curb his cuss words. I am the first to use them in various situations but in a book like this? It just seemed incongruous and quite tacky. There was a lot of it. The author should realize that his readers are not only millennial who might find this cool, but I can assure him, it wasn't.
Pedram, you don't need to swear to emphasize your points. You are obviously very articulate and have an abundance of valuable information but I think you can take your writing to another level by omitting the poor word choices.

The most Beautifully written book

Revisado: 04-17-16

I loved how well this book was written! I loved the historical setting and the detailed description of each of the characters. I felt like I was there with Doc and Catherine, and Wyatt, and the whole lot of them, as they lived their lives and struggled and laughed. Of the many fantastic moments, Mary's description of Doc playing Beethoven's Emperor on the piano, is downright BRILLIANT. If you love history, combined with a well written book and sublime prose, this is it.

I could go on, but you are better off listening to or reading the real thing.
