Heartbreaking yet healing

Revisado: 03-21-21

It is the slap on the face that perhaps you need. However, I (and my therapist) would not recomend this book if you are just waking up to toxicity in your relationships. Wait like 3 years in therapy to start this, otherwise I bet you’ll become defensive about your behavior or your abusers’ behaviors.
And in another note, maybe it’s my spiritual trauma talking, but I dislike how pushy she is with “the higher power” very christian of her... and I don’t trust christians in any spiritual related stuff, because of this tendency to push down peoples throat their ideology.

I love her!

Revisado: 07-08-16

It's the 1st selfhelp book that isn't just focused on the inside, of course the outside counts in the building of oneself!
It has become one of my favorite books!

Repetitive

Revisado: 07-04-16

Maybe it's that my expectations were that this book was more about emotional intelligence and coping with the pain, but is about spirits, and since it goes on and on whit stuff like " oh Sonya! That's exactly what my pet did!" For 5 hours! Made it feel lika a big infomercial for psychics. In short this book tells you "your pet is fine, it wasn't your fault, there, there"

A book about empathy

Revisado: 03-26-16

It focuses on the empathy and loosing the concept ( like in the movies) of villains and heroes. But I felt that it relies on the hope that not only you'll put yourself in the other person's shoes but that the other person will do the same, in reality this doesn't happens all the time, you cant control that and sometimes people do bad things or behave like assholes, and you just cant make them turn green again.
You have to listen to it several times to really get it in.

I loved to hate it

Revisado: 12-10-15

Ok, obviously it's a disgusting topic, but I loved to hate it. Just like if you see Jack Gleeson ( plays Joffrey Baratheon in GOT ) on the streets you would feel like punching him in the face, not because he is a bad actor but because he is a good actor and plays a whiny asshole brilliantly.
I felt curiosity, repulsion, compassion, indignation and sadness for every character of this book; Navokov portraits them with many layers, that makes it feel more real.
The narrator is really good.
English is not my 1st language, but in my opinion I think it's advanced. For me it was a bit hard for me to follow, I had to re listen several times, although I have to say that it was beautifully written almost poetic.

Wanabe Dvici code

Revisado: 11-10-15

Aghh! The most boring romance novel; I was in agony while listening to it, nothing was happening, I was begging for it to be over.
If you are not a catholic, be careful, you're most likely to roll your eyes a lot!

It met my expectations

Revisado: 11-09-15

I bought this book, well actually I downloaded the app, because I felt lonely and overwhelmed when dealing whit clutter. But I paused the cleaning to listen to de whole book before restarting; it was worth it.

I liked that Andrew Mellen narrated the book, it made me feel like I hired him as a personal organizer.
Its a well rounded book, not minimalistic Throw it all away to the garbage, its the middle path. It has so much to do about you and so little about the actual stuff.
The only thing that I didn't understand is why Andrew was explaining what LOL means? And how to use chats; About that just lol. I would rather hear what to do with paid subscriptions, but are minor things.
And Andrew Mellen I'll really miss you the most :) namaste.
