slow start quick ending

Revisado: 10-27-24

nothing happens until well after the 20th chapter. there are 3 main characters but you never really get to know them and they love in an unpleasant dystopia. then it is all wrapped up within a couple chapters. so glad it's not a trilogy!

Very enjoyable

Revisado: 06-28-23

I found this work very enjoyable especially after having just re-read Awakening Dignity by Phachok Rinpoche, this book was a great supplement and more indepth follow-up. The narrator gets a little boring but at least understands how to pronounce almost all of the words correctly which is unusual in the genre.

Great story

Revisado: 05-02-23

Wow! this is a great "read"! so much about Trungpa and Akon Rinpoches and the escape from Chinese tyranny and massacres in Tibet with a brutally honest view of the growth in Dharma of and by Yeshe Losal. so inspiring!

Got to get this one in Print

Revisado: 04-01-23

This is not a good choice for audio. This book requires the careful consideration that only a careful reading of the print version can provide.

read this but don't listen to it

Revisado: 04-01-23

the narration is absolutely awful. The narrator apparently has no experience with the subject matter and mispronounces most of the Tibetan and Sanskrit words. to add insult to injury he does it in the over modulated voice of a Top 10 DJ. It is unlistenable. The content is worth your time but not with this awful performance.

reader has no background in the subject

Revisado: 08-27-22

The text is interesting though a somewhat more old fashioned and traditional view and explanation. the reader consistently mispronounced key words and concepts. It’s strange how some readers can't be bothered to do any research.

There's gold in them thar hills!

Revisado: 04-20-22

There's value to be had from both extroverts and Introverts. Essential reading for people managers including parents, teachers, and bosses. unlike the sad reviewer's opinion (who didn't even finish) this is not "introverts rule, extroverts drool". This is an exploration of how western culture traditionally places higher value on extroverted personality and undervalues introverts. There is real value in nurturing both types of personalities (it's a spectrum).

ruined by a sloppy reading

Revisado: 09-16-21

The soft put-on "spiritual" voice of the reader and the odd pronunciation of Chögyam Trungpa's name and easily researched words like "prajna" were annoying and distracting. Also the reader's difficulty articulating any word over 5 syllables is equally frustrating and irritating.

I'm not sure there is anything new here but it is always good to hear Trungpa Rinpoche teach and re-teach and re-frame the Dharma.

good material but annoying reader

Revisado: 05-11-21

I can't abide this narrator's affected voice. I wonder if it's his Buddha impression all breathy and spiritual sounding.
