Thorough overview and history of EMDR

Revisado: 10-21-24

My therapist recommended this book to me prior to beginning our EMDR treatment and it definitely helped prepare me for our sessions. It’s a thoughtfully written overview of the treatment, with both patients and practitioners in mind. I especially enjoyed hearing all the different success stories of patients who used the different strategies mentioned throughout the book.

Lovely, Reaffirming, Poetic

Revisado: 09-09-24

The message and overarching strategy is clear and powerful in its simplicity, however it does feel redundant and overly serious at times. Very mindful, very demure.

Grotesquely Empathetic

Revisado: 05-20-24

I don’t usually read fiction, and only came upon this book because of a friend who, upon hearing my own reflections of motherhood, insisted I make an exception for this one. I’m glad I did. It was cathartic and surreal, with a tinge of insanity. Everything a new mother needs to hear but most likely won’t from civilized society.

Written for College Students

Revisado: 01-03-23

A good effort, but given the wide variety of long distance relationships in the world, it’s annoyingly one-dimensional. If you’re anything other than a college student experiencing a LDR, find another book. To the author, while your personal experience lends useful anecdotes here and there, you do everyone a disservice by not including other voices in your book: military couples, couples who met online, couples with children, blended families, and polyamorous relationships, just to name a few. Representation matters, and unfortunately this whole book reads like a long blog article instead of a comprehensive guide. Good luck.

A Poignant Glimpse Into Holistic Consciousness

Revisado: 11-02-22

As an American citizen of mixed heritage, and with only watered down notions of my ancestral cultures of origin, reading this book moved me deeply. The audacious poise of this author, sharing the wisdom of her own upbringing among native peoples in the face of repeated acts of violence against humanity, is nothing short of inspiring. I felt deep kinship with her upon hearing of her connection with the Earth, and as a vegan who is often ridiculed or alienated for taking a stand for the animals of this planet I felt vindicated to hear her take on industrial agriculture.

If you’re a westerner who has any desire to tap into ancient wisdom or to reconnect with that innate sense of community that is suppressed daily by the pressures of modern society, I urge you to read this book.

Awe-Inspiring Audio

Revisado: 09-06-22

Neale asks God so many wonderful, thought-provoking questions, and the responses are even better. This is the dialogue I needed to hear. I’m so grateful to the author and everyone who made it possible. Excellent performances by all.

Just listening to this felt like a healing experience. I had to pause and process many times while listening because sometimes the revelations were too deep to just keep going. If you’re curious about God, if you’re mad at God, if you don’t believe in God, if you love God - whatever your relationship with God, this book provides a worthwhile perspective that can benefit anyone’s life. Give it a shot.

WOW. F*cking Amazing.

Revisado: 07-22-19

Raw. Intelligent. Witty AF. I learned so much reading this book. The author is wise and hilarious, compassionately harsh, and totally relatable. The insights and practical tools I got from this book are absolutely priceless. I recommend this book to anyone who wants personal growth without all the typical guru bullshit. This book is all value and no fluff. Must read!

Target Audience: Retirees

Revisado: 06-21-18

When I picked this book I was hoping to hear a story about a young family that embarked on a home-free journey, not an elderly couple with no dependents, but after getting over my initial disappointment I was pleased to learn about this lifestyle as an alternative to traditional retirement.

I thought the author did an excellent job of describing things in detail, sometimes to the point of boredom for my millennial attention span, but overall the story was unique and charming. It’s a book I would recommend to people who are either retired already and hating it, or those who are planning to and need some ideas and inspiration.

A fiction for those who despise fiction.

Revisado: 10-20-17

As someone who prefers reading non-fiction of the personal growth variety, The Alchemist was a welcome departure.

Concise, yet vivid in its imagery and profound in its spiritual lessons, this is one of those books that I will listen to again and again until I learn it by heart.

A story filled with adventure and wonder, aptly read by the talented Jeremy Irons (whom I grew up knowing as Scar from The Lion King).

I recommend this book to anyone who has a curiosity about life's bigger questions and anyone who craves a vacation. It's a fiction worth reading!

Mind = Blown

Revisado: 08-03-17

This isn't something to casually listen to. You really have to be ready to receive something like this. If you're exploring spirituality and are looking for specific answers about the afterlife then this book may be what you need. It has the potential to shake your faith and question everything you thought you knew about yourself and your world. Get ready to grow!
