One of the highest uses of the Audible format

Revisado: 12-23-18

To hear people tell their stories in their own voices was heart-wrenching and heart-warming, giving me a new understanding of life experiences completely out of my ken. Andrew Solomon is a terrific writer, here he shows he is also a great interviewer. For me, this was definitely a five-star experience. Thank you Audible.

Mind-blowing, informative, daring

Revisado: 03-29-17

This book meets two of my favorite criteria: 1) it is filled with information, 2) it is read by the author.
Her candor is breath-taking. Her information is powerful and thought-provoking. The themes of this book are controversial but she defends them brilliantly. What a pleasure to listen to! Thank you Ayelet.
I loved it so much I bought the hardcover to savor her ideas. (Which brings me to a suggestion for Audible - make the chapters in the audiobook the same as those in the printed book so we who read the READ the book can find what we are looking for more readily!)

Lyrical, insightful, moving

Revisado: 03-29-17

His prose is every bit as lyrical as his songs, and his memory is prodigious! The personal revelations about his struggles with his father and his depression touched me to the core. Hearing him read it added greatly to its impact on me.
I recommend this book to anyone who not only wants to hear his story, but also be inspired to reflect about the challenges we face today in our society.
Thank you Bruce for the joy you have brought to us all these years!

Delightful!

Lots of fun and filled with anecdotes. Also, the "Kitchen timer" chapter is a master writing class! Thanks Lauren Graham.

Highly recommended for all public speakers

Great listen!!
An absolute pleasure with lots of laughs and helpful exercises. Hearing it read by the author, despite the challenges of understanding his delightful accent, makes his story more fun and interesting.
And it includes one of my favorite features of audio books, a recording of a live show is included. This brings a liveliness and immediacy to the book.
I plan on listening to it again, and accessing the website he gives.

Most inspiring and informative book

Revisado: 06-08-16

I kept having personal insights as I listened to this book. The writing, and reading, encouraged and inspired me. I especially liked the personal stories with which Dr. Van der Kolk illustrated each point, and the science which supported his work.
I look forward to listening to it again in the near future because I know I will enjoy it again, and get new insights.

The content of this book is excellent.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to increase their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
My low rating for performance is because the author reads in a sort of monotone. When I heard him interviewed on a podcast he was animated, so I was disappointed with the way he read the book. But I loved what he wrote in the book!! Well worth reading.
