Great for your sleep training

Revisado: 05-22-20

If you are sleep-training, that is, if you are training yourself to improve your sleep, you must try this audio. The sounds are very relaxing, but the best is the muscle-relaxation instruction at the beginning. A single try will convince you.

Why did I wait so long to listen to this book?

Revisado: 04-04-17

Where does Modern Man in Search of a Soul rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

That's my only regret: not listening sooner. This is one of those books that make a mark in your way of thinking about the state of humanity today.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Modern Man in Search of a Soul?

If you ever doubted you had a soul, this book will make you think again. But if you never doubted you had a soul, this book will make you appreciate it from a different perspective.

Which scene was your favorite?

Jung's comparison and contrast between psychology and religion supported some of the ideas I already had lingering in my own mind. This portion also opened some new questions, that still need to be answered.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There is a portion of this book that moved me so that it still surfaces in conversations, long after finishing the book: that's the portion of the role parents have in the psychological development of adult persons.

Femenina, pero no feminista

Revisado: 04-04-17

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Belli recurre a su ya conocida (y exitosa) prosa decimonónica para re-imaginar la historia del pecado original. Si buscas un discurso feminista entrelíneas, no lo vas a encontrar aquí. Lo que sí encontrarás es un Paraíso en el que el Creador está ausente y Eva tiene que tomar todas las decisiones -a pesar de Adán- y con la única guía de la Serpiente.

What was one of the most memorable moments of El Infinito en la Palma de la Mano [The Infinite in the Palm of Your Hand (Texto Completo)]?

Si ya leíste La mujer habitada, las descripciones paradisíacas de este libro te resultarán harto familiares. Si este es tu primer acercamiento a Belli, estas descripciones resultan muy placenteras.

What does Adriana Sananes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

La voz de Adriana Sananes parece haber sido fabricada para esta narración. Fluye dulcemente, sin empalagar. Su narración no distrae del texto, sino que lo complementa. Sananes una excelente actriz. Espero volver a escucharla en otro texto.

Do you think El Infinito en la Palma de la Mano [The Infinite in the Palm of Your Hand (Texto Completo)] needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

El Infinito en la Palma de la Mano no necesita una secuela, a menos que Belli quiera recrear el Génesis completo (lo cual yo no me aventuro a leer).

My husband loved it, so did I

Revisado: 04-04-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Mistakes I Made at Work to be better than the print version?

Because I have a background in media, and have recorded many audio tracks in my lifetime, the narrator's pitch and respiration rhythm was a little off-putting at the beginning. But the content was so compelling, that I stuck with it and thanked my self for going beyond my own bias.

My husband listened to portions of this book when I had it on the car's speakers: he loved it and wanted to listen to all of it. Unencumbered by the female marketing of the cover, he was attentive to the narrative and started a conversation with me about one of the contributor's arguments.

It was a welcome surprise, coming from a guy who has turned down every invitation to come to yoga with me. At the end of our conversation, he said everyone should listen to this book. I appreciated that he didn't say "every woman" or "every young person." He said "everyone."

What did you like best about this story?

Every contributor provided amazing insight and the consistent format for every contribution really propelled the flow of the entire book.

Which character – as performed by Karen Saltus – was your favorite?

My favorite character/contributor is Carl S. Dweck --the last one in the book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Dweck's portion awakened me for the first time to the concept of "growth mindset," something I have been applying every day since I finished the book.
