One of the Best Books on this Subject

Revisado: 08-07-18

I am a practicing therapist and also someone who still deals personally with codependency issues. I found this book extremely well written and helpful. I am recommending it to clients who are struggling in relationships with narcissistic personalities. In fact, we all come in contact with this personality type at times, so this information can help a wide audience.
The author describes narcissism in a way that is easily understood with practical suggestions on how to handle people who exhibit this behavior. If you suspect you are dealing with a narcissist in your life and finding it baffling, don’t hesitate to get this book!

What a Gentle Spirit

David Steindl -Rast exudes warmth and loving kindness. I enjoyed listening to his comforting voice as much as I loved the message. Wonderful teaching for our times.

Franken Nails Lying Right

Revisado: 07-12-17

I loved listening to the biting wit of one of America's best comedians and satirists as he illustrates how many politicians and pundits lie and manipulate. Especially relevant in our present time of craziness with Trump in the White House and Franken in the Senate!

Fascinating Story!!! I

Revisado: 12-11-16

I first saw Trevor Noah a few years ago on YouTube, before he was a household name and hosting The Daily Show. I thought he was one of the best comedians I had ever seen - witty, quirky, full of surprise twists in his humor, intelligent and self-assured. He had insight into culture, sociology and psychology, and that South African accent gave him an air of erudite sophistication.

I heard him mention that his father was Swiss and wondered what his life might have been like in South Africa, but I couldn't have guessed the truth of that question. These stories of his childhood are amazing, and the constant strength of his wise, intelligent, loving mother sustains him through his harsh childhood during and after apartheid. There is plenty of humor, but the stories are also rich with old fashioned good storytelling and insight into history and the bonds and oppressions accompanying race and language.

I am so glad he narrated it. I enjoyed every minute!

Robert Thurman at his Best

Revisado: 08-23-16

Robert Thurman gives another brilliant elucidation of Tibetan Buddhism. He draws from his personal life experience, wisdom and extensive knowledge of the Tibetan culture and history as he discusses how we may all walk the path to Buddhahood.

Good ideas

Revisado: 03-07-16

I am using the ideas in this book and they really work. Very helpful and making a difference in my life, but not magical. My only criticism is that the book was too long and some of the claims are extreme, at least in my experience. She even suggests that people who "tidy up" using her methods may lose weight and have better skin. Maybe my home wasn't cluttered enough before for this to be so life changing, but my take on it is that some claims are just silly. That aside, she has very good ideas about how to stop clutter and develop a different relationship with your possessions. On that fundamental basis I recommend it highly.

Excellent

Revisado: 07-25-15

If you are ready to cut through the belief that your spiritual practice is "improving" you and cast aside New Age notions that you can "get something" by changing the way you think, this book will create a clearing for something else to happen. Gave me clarity and an understanding of foundations of Buddhism.

Excellent! Great Guide for Dream Work

Revisado: 03-04-15

I have journaled dreams off and on since 1981, taken classes and read many books on this subject. I am a practicing psychotherapist and often recommend dream work for my clients, so I am thrilled when I find a resource of this caliber. Robert Moss reads his material in a conversational style that is refreshing and easy to listen to. He references many theories and styles of approaching dream work, and he clearly has a very thorough knowledge of the subject as well as extensive personal experience doing his own dream work. I have been looking for a resource to help me move beyond interpretation of dreams into direct experience of the dream and what he calls "active dreaming." This is it, and I am already using his methods to expand my dream work into new levels. This book could appeal to anyone from beginners through experienced seekers. I recommend it very highly!
