adventurous allegory

Revisado: 03-19-23

Thank you for the deep and philosophical allegory!
I like so many layers of meaning revealed in the text.

Searching for the inner traitor is everybody's Quest and it's amazing to see its universality.

Insightful!

Revisado: 11-24-21

As someone who loves the "Bhagavatam" and who has read quite a few versions and commentaries, I must say this rendition is fascinating, opening new horizons and absorbing!

slowing down

Revisado: 02-18-19

In one word - it can slow you down. Also, cookies and ads can still expose you.

I thought the readers need to know pronunciation?

Revisado: 09-13-13

The book is fascinating. Parallels and some polemic with the Sufi, Kabbala and Indian mysticism and philosophy are presented, which makes it interesting for any explorer. What surprised me was that Audible produced a book with a reader who mispronounces even the name of the book! You have to be prepared to endure the whole book with the name of Jung pronounced as "young" and many other non-English names and words tortured into caricatures. Well, at least it is an audio-book, presumably better than computer-read. I am grateful for that.

a dynamic book of blind ends

Revisado: 08-07-13

Certainly, a dynamic and absorbing book. What I miss is a single act of kindness or a single positive character that is not thwarted or wind up dead or mangled. Does it have to be so negative and gruesome? I admired the other book by Leslie Stein on the Jung's formula for "Becoming Whole" but here even Jung appears in a rather unappealing light. Is it meant to be some combination of Kafka and Jung? Or did the author consider that one more chapter with resolutions and keys would already make it pedestrian? I wouldn't share that apprehension. Obviously, Ms. Leslie Stein must have not been able to find a likable experience in her travel(s) to India, but there is hardly anything, anyone or anywhere inspiring in the book's descriptions. I expected a more cathartic denouement in a text by a notable and learned Jungian scholar. Perhaps, I could benefit to see some Jungian decipherment here and would be glad to improve my opinion (and mark).

revolutionary

Revisado: 02-27-13

Accomplish more by speaking less. Which questions will switch on the speaker's own capacity to understand and find a practical solution? By asking about their thinking you help them get out of the harried victim mode into a more transcendent clarity vision.

It is quite involved and entails getting used to a special terminology. Applying it in life is even more challenging, because you will sound very much differently from what you usually are. But even a little application of David Rock's 6 steps seems to help me approach all relationships and human interactions in a much more effective way. It shows how to actually contribute to positive and natural solutions.

transformative, clear, surprising

Revisado: 02-27-13

Out of many self-improvement books out there, this is one of the most well presented, with lots of fascinating research and clear action guidelines.
Dr. Kelly McGonigal is doing a superb job and Walter Dixon delivers it perfectly. I could not believe one can express quotation marks and other text format features by voice so clearly.
Willpower can depleted, but can also be trained (5 min. of meditation, or even a little exercise inspires people to study more and watch less TV:-)
Already re-listening it, and plan to re-listen till I memorize it:-)

intellectually stimulating & highly entertaining

Revisado: 01-27-13

I am wowed. How delightful are the speech modality changes, how refreshing is the intellectual challenge of the time paradoxes, how helpful the moral lessons - not just coined in aphorisms but enacted in life-size characters. In my middle age, I am happy to learn how to respond to stress in a dignified manner and how not to demean to react in whatever burlish way the environment has conditioned me. OSC - I am awed by you all the more, you never cease to gratify all the human needs, from my simple appetite for entertainment, to the need to think new thoughts, and all the way to the need to ever come closer to comprehend the Unlimited One. Thank you!
