Quick and insightful listen

Revisado: 01-18-23

The story was short and engaging, and it was easy to get the point. And it was a very simple, yet insightful point. Also really enjoyed the interview with the author at the end. I’m grateful I found this book. I feel it will help me be better prepared for change that will surely come.

Inspiring and enjoyable

Revisado: 05-13-21

I love so much about this book! The author puts forward several maxims for life gleaned from her improvisation studies and practices. They are a treasure trove of wisdom. I especially love the advice to not prepare, just show up!

Incisive critique of blacks’ loyalty to Democratic party

Revisado: 11-05-20

Candace Owens writes a compelling story of the development of her political and philosophical thought. She clearly loves God, loves the black people, and loves America.

In particular I like her perspective on the dangers of a victim mentality, and how it chains those who espouse it to an insidious bondage. I would love to see more research in this area.

I am considering inviting my liberal friends to do a ‘book exchange’ on race and this would be my pick for the conservative option.

Thank you, Candace. I hope many more people read this book.

Best book on communication and relating I have read!

Revisado: 05-07-20

I have loved NVC (nonviolent communication), but it hasn’t been easy to put into practice as I’ve understood it. Oren Sofer’s book does an outstanding job of making NVC work naturally, by combining it with presence and intention. I wish all my friends and family would read it so they can benefit like I have! As much of more than interpersonal communication, these principles help me internally avoiding many of the traps that can lead to self criticism, depression, etc.

Wonderful principles

Revisado: 01-18-19

It’s refreshing to look at sales as an opportunity to give. I love how the authors discuss the mutual benefits that come from a life of giving — also recognizing that we must sell our products to someone, but not necessarily the person in front of us.

Life changing

Revisado: 06-12-18

Oh how I wish I’d had (and applied the principles of) this book 25 years ago. Delivered simply and humorously, Shawn Achor shares the principles of happiness which more than coincidentally coincide with the principles of success. Fantastic read/listen!

Stories are helpful to hear

Revisado: 01-07-18

Wonderful to hear real life examples of people who have been changed by real love. It helps me understand real love and its effects better.

Practical and Vital Guidance to Be Happy

Revisado: 11-12-17

Anyone who is dating or who would consider dating in the future would be hugely benefited by this book. I discovered Greg Baer and the ideas of Real Love a week ago. It is already having a significant positive effect in my life. (I read one of his other books in that time, too.) Some people are put off by the supposed marketing of his other materials in this book. However, having seen some videos and read other books, I believe he is saying that to be efficient. He does not repeat all that material in this book. You really would benefit from learning those other materials (such as the original Real Love book) to skillfully apply these principles.

I believe that the application of the principles he teaches here, though simple and in some ways easy (some ways not), provides a key to happiness and success in relationships and life. I am excited to learn and apply more as I go forward, and excited to share this with friends and family.

P.S. He has very insightful and practical guidelines for how to go about finding a partner, and/or whether to stay in your current relationship, and how to end that relationship if you do leave. Plus much more.
