Loved this little book

Revisado: 09-15-20

Performance is stunning, the words just drew me in... a worthy book. And because it’s short doesn’t mean it’s less ...in this case I have to give it highest marks. I’m not mourning right now, but when I’ve been in that time, this would’ve been helpful...it’s real, it doesn’t require a lot of long term focus (I can Remember buying all these books on grieving and not reading any in entirely . Mostly just glanced at the basics....it’s a surrealistIc time. High touching gentle story well told. You’ll love it.

Best. Book. Ever.

Revisado: 06-29-20

The author possesses both grace & style.To me he’s brilliant, introspective , courageous and insightful. Read very few reviews, usually in bed before SNL & saw the author only in little bleeps on YouTube.. ( I’m not hip). All that said, this book has me nearly speechless. It’s profound (for me) and a true story that’s mind boggling (to say the least). I’m dumbfounded . Much if it is about SNL and the life of all of that. If you are connected or a fan it’s going to be fun & enriching. If not so connected, it’ll still be good. Because it’s all really crucial to the story of this author’s life. His life is a song of a current ongoing miracle, and how THAT unfolds . It’s a story of unthinkable child abuse , the results and what had to transpire for this ultimate healing to begin for him. Firstly, he’s brilliant as a performer, in the WAY he chose to begin talking about who he became , why and the extreme life he lives . Also, his energy is intense and magnetic in essence (for me). The fact that the author is actually reading the story, using his own voice makes this book more than worth spending the time to have a listen. Now wait, at first I wasn’t paying close attention (remember I got it as a diversion, a break from more “serious” books ). But hanging I there I found I was at first concerned, worried and then startled. I cared. Still do. Want to just nuzzle up with him and back away simultaneously from his very VERY bright light. He’s unique, although saying that might not be something I’d say to his face. I found myself rooting for him, cheering for him along the way. I had to look up certain sexual terms and that was fun, too. Who knew? The guys had one heck of a ride & I’m left with hope . My wish is to hear him again in anything he wants to do for audible, Disney, documentaries, anything at all. My wish is to now go watch more of him on YouTube. He’s a star, a mentor to most anyone, a sincere guy. I LOVED the book. While I’d pay more money to hear about his discussions and struggles , memories and details of his childhood, I don’t think it’s possible for him to go through all that (and be healthy). I want only the sun on his heart from here on in. Thank him for the heart wrenching truth he was able to tell. I’ll never forget it. Hope is a big deal.

Surprisingly wonderful read!

Revisado: 12-10-19

My therapist suggested to me that there was nothing at all wrong with me but that I’m an empath. I only need to know the tools needed to protect myself, understand how to manage it, etc. and she suggested I read Judith Orloff book (pulled it right off her shelf). She said she’s an empath too. So I read the book and qualified in at least all those categories. For whatever reason, I didn’t plan to read anything else by the same author. Came across Second Sight...interesting title, and just began. It’s been great (for me) as I felt the similarities, taken with her spirit, her incredible journey...and her indisputable conclusions. All of her resonates with me. Grateful this precious soul put pen to paper and wrote this. Now I’ll probably binge read the rest of her books. This is the story of her evolution in this area. It’s a great autobiography of that. She had good teachers, guides and education...you’ll probably long for that too. I do. Enjoy!

Uplifting story of becoming “you” .

Revisado: 11-30-19

I intentionally read the entire book without knowing who Shonda Rimes even is..I didn’t want the input, the prejudice that might enter. She tells the reader who she is (a writer) but because I watch little TV I was able to read without judging her merits (she’ll tell you anyway). It’s a great story, quick read and one that can be read again if you need a little bolstering . As she made a decision to say yes to her life, her whole life experience changed. She began to go with the current, give herself the courage to learn, to face and to solve many blocks she hadn’t know available from within.
It’s a spiritual story of one woman’s spirit. She doesn’t shed victim mentality like so many other books, instead makes a conscious change in how she handles her life, using her strengths to face truths as they appear, dive deep in tips her own psyche and stopped excuses. She sees herself uniquely and without comparison to others giving her freedom to be accepting of whoever that might be. She’s someone everyone would want in their corner to tell them how great they are, how capable and really can go for anything they want. Enjoy thus well written sassy , smart, unabashedly true story of love. Falling in love with your self. It’s really a romance novel about self love. (For me). Enjoy.

Magnificent informative by great teacher

Revisado: 10-27-19

I’ve learned more by Edward Eskimo than any other teacher for specific informations from a macrobiotic perspective. He’s always been spot on for me...beginning my inquiries in 1996-97 when I became the 24/7 caregiver to my elderly mother. She was cured of cancer (twice) and a host of other maladies , and it’s hard to find his works so I’m thankful I found this. What a wonderful teacher!
I’ll be relistening to this (my first Audible by him) as he’s someone I refer to over and over. The expertise is flawless. Highest recommendation. Money well invested.

Loved it

Revisado: 09-27-19

I loved it because I was beautiful long ago, lived in Los Angeles and identified with Goldie. We are about the same age. The lifestyle then was much different, and people trusted without so much fear. She, like myself, had a pretty good childhood. Like her , I was extremely happy. People used to ask me if I took the TM course (transcendent meditation) because we all talked alike,
Her journey, like mine, has been diverse and rich.
I also appreciated how she spoke, the words she used and the format.
She has a way with them.
Her long standing relationship with .kirk Russell is amazing.
Her entire family has been raised with seemingly conscious parents.
Good read.

Must read for general health and/or overweight

Revisado: 06-19-19

This took me some time to read. About 1/2 way through I also thought it worthy of purchasing the print version (to reference & highlight). My journey to this book was through a grim cancer diagnosis in 2014 with a 2% survival rate. I changed radically, my lifestyle and became cancer free now more than 2.5 + yrs (no chemo, no radiation). In that process, I did everything I could . Fasting too. But not having anyone where I live to support this, it added to my fear and anxiety. I’m 70 years old and so need to be gentle in my efforts to detox a lifetime of things stuck inside me. I believe, however, that miracles happen everyday to ordinary people who are open minded like myself. This book gives clarity and purpose to anyone who is open to it both scientifically and intuitively. The research is here! Another old book, called The Tao of Detox...was longer and I never did read the thing (some thought of it as the “bible” of fasting). This is a more current findings and I appreciate all of it. As a vegan (links of cancer to animals in some studies) I may not use everything, however the idea of fasting, the benefits, the safety issues, have given me peace now moreover. This a a quality read and I’ve learned a lot. Thank you for the colossal efforts it took.

Best book I've possibly ever read

Revisado: 06-11-17

Just finished. Read all but his newest book now but not in order of publication date. This is my fav. That said, they've ALL taken me on a pretty high ride and wept me away. Yes, there seems to be a shift...an undeniable shift. I never sense I'm wasting time with Paul Selig's books, but rather feel privileged to be audience /participating in them. It's not a passive read. Highest stars to everyone who's participated in it's coming to fruition. Paul Selig's voice has become one I just adore, as I expect the man himself is also adorable as well. Bravo and thank you for reading this for Audible. A labor of love for which I'm SO grateful. Changing my entire life , mindset, spiritual happiness and , of course, when there's hope there's light.

Well worth the read

Revisado: 03-20-17

I went back to listen to this book after purchasing on if Paul Selig's later books. I'm so enamored with these words, presented obviously through channeling, that o preferred to listen with an open mind just starting from the beginning. I'm glad I did (foe me). I havent hinestky, felt it totally absorbed yet, but that said, i feel ready to move forward. Paul Selig is one heck of a special being. Glad hes in our world!
