Watched the miniseries, then had to get the book.

Revisado: 09-11-19

I watched a miniseries of War and Peace and that introduced me to the characters. I identified so strongly with the character of Pierre that I had to get the book to know his journey in a deeper way. Having seen the miniseries, it was easy to visualize the characters in my mind as I listened to the story. It was one of life's pleasures to get in my car and commute to work and home and listen to the story over a period of a few months.

It is a powerful story and an interesting commentary on the history of the time. I highly recommend this version of the story.

Valuable Principals.

The Stoics had a practical philosophy that is relevant today as it was then. The quotes in this book are expanded upon and help to clarify the ideas behind Stoicism. Excellent narration makes it a joy to listen to.

As satisfying as his other classic book.

After listening to 'As A Man Thinketh' narrated by Brian Holsopple, I began listening to that book on a daily basis, or any time that I felt like I had lost my way. It has given me a great fondness towards the man, James Allen.

To find a similarly moving book, excellently narrated by Barry J Peterson, has doubled my joy.

James Allen is without a doubt the most practical philosopher I have listened to.

Brought me closer to the mind of the man.

I've read others talking about Carl Jung. I watched tidbits of him talking on YouTube. This book written in the first person put me inside the mind of the man. It was fascinating to go along with him on his journey of the soul.

It is the first book I've read by Jung himself. I think it was a great first book.

The narration was very satisfying. I was drawn into the book by its reading and great meaning was conveyed in the performance.

The story itself is great! His stories of travel in Africa and India were excellent.
