Common sense isn’t all that common

Revisado: 03-12-24

Being a clinical hypnotist, I’m always looking for new insights and techniques to help my clients and myself. The author Yefim Shubentsov has been on my radar as someone to learn from for decades now. I know of him by another name, which I’ll let him tell you when you read the book. Apparently he’s now retired. I hope he’s still with us and enjoying his retirement. People have come to me thru the years to become non-smokers, referring to him. I knew I had to explore his techniques and practices. I’m so glad that, with Barbara Gordon’s help, he put his thoughts into this book, making it available to anyone. Thank you Yefim. I intend to develop the bio-energy he teaches, and share his insights with clients as I change my own habits, becoming a more fulfilled individual.

A good ride

Revisado: 10-20-23

Lots of sex, drugs and guys that took life as the playground we all wish we had the courage to live. They left behind some classic films and plenty of dogs as well as kids, pain and a taste of what living on the edge is all about.


The book seemed to go on forever.

Thoughtful communication strategies

Revisado: 01-14-23

Really enjoyed this lecture series. Reminded me of many things I knew and opened me up to new ways of thinking about, and potentially implementing, strategic communication.

The author was well researched and pleasant to spend my time with.

1712 was the place to be

Revisado: 01-05-23

Very glad I spent my time with this memoir of a period and place in world culture history that still reverberates today. The art, the music, the characters and the whole scene were captured and explored with insight and excitement. You could tell the author loved uncovering the feel of that time and place; 1712 and LA and of course Easy Rider and a new approach to movie making. I don’t remember who turned me on to this book but I’m grateful that they did.

Why the publisher chose the title and cover picture is beyond me. Not very inviting.

What a life

Revisado: 10-25-22

So wonderful hearing Graham’s life story thru his own voice and words. Here’s a man how said Yes to life and has the talent to back it up and contribute. Being the only CSNY member biography I’ve read, I suspect there may be different interpretations within some of his stories, but that’s just speculation. At the core, it’s all about the music and he was there, right in the midst of it.

Well written and read. Highly suggested.

Like feeling my own blood pumping, life, music, breath

Revisado: 09-22-21

The most impressive point, for me, was the depth of music influences Hermès brought together to form this account. His knowledge and passion flowed like a series of mountain streams coming together, heading toward the Hudson. Well read and written. Enjoyed every minute of it. Learned a lot.

Deep - Full of pop music history

Revisado: 09-09-21

I have a new appreciation and understanding of Bert Berns and this special time in pop music history. Didn’t want the book to end… yet I knew he died young and the book would end, but not the story.

Production was great and the voice reader did a terrific job.

Powerful Hypnosis Technique

Revisado: 06-16-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

A well explained and effective way of working with clients, colleagues or friends to conversationally lead them into hypnotic trance. Graham demonstrates how easy it is to use this induction, adjusting the approach depending upon the responsiveness of the client. Elegant and adaptable, the Leisure induction is one that every hypnotist should practice and be familiar with. The performance by Meiji was well suited to the subject. I have this as a Kindle book and I believe I’ll be visiting the audio more often than re-reading it. Both are great. Definitely worthy of your time and money.

Very very very OK

Revisado: 10-23-20

After making my way thru this thing I felt more educated about this period and place in music history but less impassioned with the characters. The writing didn’t inspire me to care more. It made me want to care less. It dragged from the mid-point onward. Hoskyn’s Woodstock book was much more interesting because he uncovered the deeper motives, character, pain and underlying passions of the that time and place. Maybe his heart and connections for interviews rested on the East Coast. One other point, Nick’s female affected voice was... not very attractive. Sorry Joni
