What a treat

Revisado: 06-26-24

Full of gems. It's especially cathartic for this liberal to hear him take down the superficial, entitled, uninformed, materialistic generation and the woke culture. Not only because they are annoying but that they are the perfect material to make useful idiots out of.

Has good points but not for the anti-religion

Revisado: 04-23-23

I took a chance that this is a christian book. It started out good but became sermonizing after 1/3 of the book in. I tried to return it but Audible wouldn't accept it. So I continued listening, It got better after the sermonizing part. It does have good and helpful points.

Stunned, profound, hopeful

Revisado: 03-04-23

So stunned by the information in this workbook and ‘Healing the fragmented Selves of trauma survivors’. It totally describes the effects of my childhood trauma and my progress towards healing. Somehow I got in touch with some of my parts. It is through asking how they feel and want that I know how I feel and want. Such interesting and transformative insight. The neuroscience knowledge behind this gave me even more confidence that this is a breakthrough to help the victims of childhood abuse. It’s truly a life saving breakthrough.

Important work

Revisado: 03-03-23

This book is very important. As the author stated, child abuse is not rare but epidemic. About 1/3 of the abused become abusers. The suffering and cost are incalculable to both the individuals affected and the society. The treatment outlined has the great promise to not only reduce the suffering of the victims but reverse the life-limiting consequences.

Courageous and compassionate

Revisado: 02-12-23

I have been looking for answers to my Mother Vile problem all my life. Several years ago I read the author's "Mean Mothers'. I didn't feel they explained the monster in my life too well, although it was still helpful. I'm grateful that the author's courage and integrity to focus a light on this important problem. Even though it didn't quite reach the depth of depravity of Mother Vile, the information on the effect of being an unloved daughter and ways to heal are still valuable.

Delightful listen

Didn’t know about Rumpole before. Loved the stories, writing, narration. Ordered several other Rumpole books and John Mortimer biography.

Intelligence, resilience, openness

Revisado: 05-04-22

I often wonder why some kids can transcend horrible experience, while others not as much. Research in this area suggest a significant figure in the child's life is an important factor. But Stephen didn't have that. Listening to how he tried to make sense of his harrowing situations, I realized Stephen indeed has a very gifted mind. He said he likes to think, and it shows in how he tried to make sense of his isolated surrounding from both inductive and deductive reasoning. His mind was open to kindness-thank goodness he didn't lose hope completely. Bravo Stephen. Bravo!

Important message

Revisado: 10-20-21

I whole-heartedly agree with his message about the wide gap between civilians and soldiers. Having read several books about soldiers experience in wars, I can't help to think how their mindset and experience forged in those most trying circumstances are valuable assets that most civilians fail to understand or appreciate. We thank the soldiers for their service and sacrifice as if they are now damaged goods. We do need to take care of those who have been wounded physically and mentally. However I believe civilians have much to learn from our soldiers: their skills, disciplines, perspectives.

Important read

Revisado: 09-17-20

I read several books on the Orange Sphincter Russian investigation. It's like doing homework, something I feel I should do but is painful at times. It saddens and angers me a great deal that our patriots are abused by the very Americans that they are trying to protect. I'm glad Peter narrates his own book. His belief in the rule of law is evident in his narration. Less than 50 days to the 2020 election, I'm both hopeful and scared about the election outcome. It's not just getting rid of orange anus. In the last 4 years, so many traitors were revealed. The country is rotten from within. Do we have enough patriots to take on the traitors? Can the good people win if the other side doesn't feel bounded by rule of law or incapable of basic reasoning?

Why was this book banned?

Revisado: 08-16-20

From the little bit of reading I did of Mark Twain, I was not a fan. I must be too young to understand. This book is great. The narration is perfect. I understand the 'N' word is offensive but this writing was just reflecting the time then. The relationship between Huck and Jim gives me hope.
