My Unique Me

A gift of knowledge!!

Revisado: 06-20-23

I was lucky enough to stumble upon an interview on public radio with the author of this book, a couple weeks ago. it was exactly what I had been looking for, researching and seeking. Truly fact-based information. I jumped at the chance to buy the book and listen to it over the next week and it's been awesome!

I think I was expecting more "feel-good" stories; More detailed, informed stories of journeys of healing and connection from individuals. Don't get me wrong, there in there!! From experiences of pure joy and bliss to redemption, healing and relief... they're in there. They are scattered throughout and I think that there's exactly the right amount actually. The balance of science, history, shared experiences of others healing, transformational journeys of mind and body... it's all there.

I would agree with another tiny criticism about pronunciation and names of specialists etc. it was a little frustrating hearing certain well-known (to some of us) names be mispronounced and knowing that some people would not have easy access to finding those people by name. Hopefully it will be just a tiny bump in the road of discovery!! Fantastic book, highly recommend!!! Send a copy to all of you're friends and family LOL! Break down those barriers, we can do this!

An amazing journey that is most comforting!

Revisado: 12-15-21

What a breathtaking peek behind the curtains into what most of us will never see for ourselves.

Caitlyn is not just a great storyteller but she helps being you right into the experience. I found this book to be so much more than I'd imagined. Making death so matter of fact in the realities of the world of the crematory was at first perhaps a little shocking?

It was repelling and also beautiful, so impersonal yet so intimate, so final and yet so very, very comforting. In a most unexpected way, I do believe this book may have changed the trajectory of my life.

Thank you Caitlyn.

This was an amazingly interesting empowering, enlightening, insightful and enjoyable listen!!
I began listening "for" my sister... but soon discovered that I was listening for me and all of my loved ones. I have encouraged friends and family to read/listen for their own insight into life and where they have more power than ever imagined.
Thank you for this Everest-like journey you took to write the book Kelly Turner. You have changed so many lives.

Wow, what an unexpected ride!

Revisado: 12-14-20

I loved Rachael's last book, Blowout, so I was excited to see she has a new book to listen to. I love her story telling ebb and flow, I really feel in love with her reading voice in that book.

When I saw Rachael talking about her new book I thought to myself, wait, didn't she do a podcast about that? I really meant to listen to it but why would you need to read the book if you'd heard the podcast?

So I finally got started on the podcast and then just couldn't stop. My husband and I were just enthralled from start to finish and now I want to read the book even more!! Well, listen to it I mean.

Thanks for what you do Miss Rachael Maddow. You are so very appreciated in all the ways.

Masterful narrative of such life altering material

Revisado: 08-18-20

I could barely put it down, walk away or take breaks but when I did, I found myself telling everyone I came into contact with about the most incredible book I've ever read. I have a feeling I'll be having those conversations for a long time to come.
I'm so humbled and grateful that I "stumbled" upon this book the day it was released. I'd never heard of it but it seemed to be just what I was looking for and boy oh boy did I have NO idea the journey I was going to take. Ms. Wilkerson, you are a blessing to us all, thank you for this priceless gift. I can't wait to read it again and to continue to share it with others. So very special.

Thank you,
Tammy

Eyes Wide Shut

Revisado: 08-04-20

I'm so grateful for this book, this amazing tool that has helped me figure out exactly what I was missing in my "completely colorblind and liberal" (whatever that means) world.
My family call me liberal, I call myself normal. I couldn't understand why they don't see what I see and yet, in reality, I barely had my eyes open. Man, thank you! Finally understanding how I was steeped in racism despite my lack of any blatant racist experiences growing up! It's so mind freeing!
I can't describe how moved I am too finally feel like I can begin to use my voice appropriately. With lots of practice, I hope to increase my racial stamina and get comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to be uncomfortable because then I'll know I'm doing something right! Thank you again for laying out this blueprint that will help me, a very white person, to begin to understand my racism AND how I can change the things within my power!!

Now... what am I gonna do about it!?!
