A New Appreciation

Revisado: 09-23-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As a city dweller driving through Wyoming, I have experienced being stopped on the road for a herd of sheep to pass by. However, until I listened to this memoir of a lifetime of ranch life, I had almost no understanding of what I was seeing. I thoroughly enjoyed the memories shared by Mary Budd Flitner of her life as a rancher and as a woman. I gained an entirely different perspective and new appreciation of rural western life. I highly recommend this heartfelt and extremely informative book.

Worth Listening Again and Again

Revisado: 07-31-18

This is a beautiful translation of the Tao Te Ching that is beautifully read by someone who has an understanding of what she is reading. I have listened to several translations with different readers. I have also read the Tao in many forms. This one is outstanding and I will relisten frequently.

Impossible!!!

Revisado: 07-06-18

The first problem was being jarred by the reader's mispronunciation of the word 'Tao.'
The next problem was the reader read so quickly it was impossible to make sense of the script.
The next problem seems to be that the writer did not understand the Tao on anything but the most superficial level.
I found it unbearable to listen to and turned it off after less than 5 minutes.

Fascinating: Clear and Easy to Understand

Revisado: 07-04-18

Updated and unprejudiced information about psychedelics from both a scientific and personal perspective. Very exciting for me to learn what has been going on for the past few years.

Very Useful Information

Revisado: 04-16-18

As both a psychotherapist and a highly sensitive person, I have been aware of my own emphatic abilities for many years. Yet in listening to this book I learned new and useful information.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who suspects that they have abilities to sense their environment in ways that seem different than most other people. The book gives useful descriptions of how empaths function and describes both the positive and negative aspects of functioning this way in the world. The book goes on to give suggestions about what empaths may need to learn to do to learn to take care of themselves in different situations.

Teaching these skills is beyond the scope of this book. It describes what they are and gives a few suggestions about where to find the needed resources.

I have found that Logosynthesis, as described in my book, "Letting It Go: Relieve Anxiety and Toxic Stress in Just a Few Minutes Using Only Words" has been very useful in helping me to manage my own tendencies to be overwhelmed by some ordinary environmental situations. Other Energy Therapies would be useful as well.

Incredibly Compassionate

Revisado: 02-17-17

Before I listened to this incredibly compassionate explanation of the complicated process of caregiving, I had only a sketchy understanding of what was involved. Now, after hearing the authors heartfelt telling of her own story of caregiving and of how her own work as a consultant to other caregivers evolved, my own understanding is much deeper. Her work glows with respect and compassion for everyone involved in the process.

I highly recommend this book both to caregivers, especially those new to the process, and to anyone who needs to support those caregivers in any way.

Disclosure: I was given my review copy of this audio by the author.

Awesome book

Revisado: 08-22-16

I knew very little about this period in history. As I listened to this book, I felt almost as if l was observing these fascinating events as they unfolded. The different perspectives showed a wonderfully multifaceted perspective.

Low-key memoir

Revisado: 04-25-16

This book is a loving memoir of the authors father and his father's
service on the Lexington in World War II. It's very factualand the theme gets lost in the details. I must confess that I was interrupted after listening to the first third of the book and had to force myself to come back and finish it.

Little Known History Woven into Improbable Story

Revisado: 03-07-16

Well researched story of the horrific conditions orphaned and throw away children endured in the early 20th century folded into an engaging story of the similarities in the early lives of a very young and a very old woman. Listening to the story while driving cross-country made me completely ignore all of the discomfort of an otherwise very dull experience. If all history were taught this way many more people would know much more about our world.

A Testimony to Being Truly Alive and so much more

Revisado: 03-07-16

Listening to this book is a deeply emotional experience. The title suggests the horror that is indeed rivetingly and painfully described, but it is horror book-ended by deep joy and appreciation of life. It is a privilege to hear passages in Joe Rubinstein’s own voice interspersed throughout the narrative. Rarely is a book such a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit.
