Title: Inside Rehab

Subtitle: The Surprising Truth about Addiction Treatment - and How to Get Help That Works

Author: Anne M. Fletcher

Narrator: Marguerite Gavin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-13

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 40 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Anne M. Fletcher is a trusted New York Times best-selling health and medical writer who visited 15 addiction treatment centers - from outpatient programs for the indigent to famous celebrity rehabs; from the sites of renowned 12-step centers to several unconventional programs - to find out what really happens. What she reveals ranges from inspirational to irresponsible and, in some cases, potentially dangerous.

As always with her books, Fletcher gets the inside story by turning to real people who "have been there", interviewing more than 100 individuals whose compelling stories illustrate serious issues facing people in rehab and endemic in the rehab industry today.

Fletcher exposes 12 supposed facts for the falsehoods they are, including "rehab is necessary for most people to recover from addictions"; "highly trained professionals provide most of the treatment in addiction programs"; and "drugs should not be used to treat a drug addict". Fletcher's most important finding is the alarming discrepancy between the treatments being employed at many rehab centers and the treatments recommended by leading experts and supported by scientific research. Inside Rehab also highlights what is working, spotlights state-of-the-art programs and practices, and offers advice and guidance for people seeking quality care and treatment for themselves or those they care about.

Inside Rehab is the first book to give listeners a thoughtful, sensitive, and bracingly honest insider's view of the drug and alcohol rehab industry in America. For people seeking quality care for themselves or a loved one, Inside Rehab is essential listening, offering a wealth of accurate information and wise guidance.

Critic Reviews:

"It's startling, difficult, and important information for those traveling toward recovery, and anyone who wants to help." (

Publishers Weekly)

Solid - But Sometimes Reminds of Consumer Reports

I think Fletcher has done a commendable piece of work here. She's researched, she's interviewed, she's thought it out and she writes convincingly. She effortlessly bats down the "AA is the Only Way" crowd with - hang on - scientific evidence. Not only doesn't AA fail a lot of people as "treatment", it probably shouldn't even be the first line. If addiction is a disease, then it deserves to be treated medically, like TB, not spiritually. It's common sense that nobody tells a diabetic to accept powerlessness over their blood sugar because that is not going to help anybody conquer it successfully, and when it fails, tell them it's because they didn't really want to get better. The treatment protocol can't be "the leeches aren't working! Get more leeches!".

However...

What keeps me from giving the book 5 stars is that from time to time Fletcher switches from an objective and insightful discussion of treatment to advice on choosing and paying for rehab that sounds more like a naive and breezy "how-to". Some of it is silly: consult your insurance company about in-network facilities, and keep notes about everyone you speak to, and get them to guarantee in writing what they will pay for your treatment.

Title: Psychic Development: Sight Beyond Sight

Subtitle: Using Clairvoyance Safely: Tap into Your Psychic Intuition and Knowledge Base

Author: Carin Weatherly

Narrator: Brian McGovern

Format: Unabridged

Length: 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-13

Publisher: Lloyd Lewis

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

The perception that we have of clairvoyance may be from the movies, which tends to sensationalize everything. But when Psychic Development: Sight Beyond Sight: Using Clairvoyance Safely is listened to we get a more realistic picture of the entire process.

Through the authors eyes we learn not only what clairvoyance is but we also get the opportunity to get an insight into the process of this ancient art along with the benefits that come from such a thing. We are also exposed to some of the dangers that can happen if it is not practiced properly.

As topics like this become more prevalent it is an apt time for a book like this to be available for those seeking more knowledge either for personal or scholastic use. This form of extrasensory perception is something of a mystery and the scientific community does not support the validity of the practice.

Currently this book is one of the best ways to get at the true meaning of what this sight beyond sight is and how it relates to the world that we live in today that is driven by science and technology and not spiritual practices of this nature. It does make a great listen.

TOTAL WASTE OF TIME

Any additional comments?

this is one of those books that are written to give the author the right to say that they are a writer - why Audible bothered to make this an audible book I have no idea. Not only was it very basic it ended up with dire warnings.

Publisher's Summary:

"Provocative enough to make you start questioning your each and every action." (Entertainment Weekly)

The brain's power is confirmed and touted every day in new studies and research. And yet we tend to take our brains for granted, without suspecting that those masses of hard-working neurons might not always be working for us.

Cordelia Fine introduces us to a brain we might not want to meet, a brain with a mind of its own. She illustrates the brain's tendency toward self-delusion as she explores how the mind defends and glorifies the ego by twisting and warping our perceptions. Our brains employ a slew of inborn mind-bugs and prejudices, from hindsight bias to unrealistic optimism, from moral excuse-making to wishful thinking - all designed to prevent us from seeing the truth about the world and the people around us, and about ourselves.

Members Reviews:

This is a must read for anyone with a brain :)

What made the experience of listening to A Mind of Its Own the most enjoyable?

I love studies and good examples, but in easily to understand terms. The author explains all the concepts well and and has a good sense of humor, which makes this book very enjoyable.

What did you like best about this story?

All the research studies and examples.

What about Judith Wests performance did you like?

It is not my favorite narrator, but I listen for the information.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 47 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

The early "New Age" philosophy of New Thought, which was wildly popular at the turn of the 20th century, owes much of its emphasis on the concept of "mind over matter" to the works of Thomas Troward. In this two-in-one volume, which brings together two of Troward's celebrated books on "mental science", the author - who was renowned for presenting difficult ideas with clarity and enthusiasm - discusses:

First published in 1909, Troward's writings remain of immense interest to anyone interesting in personal spiritual development.

Members Reviews:

Audio quality and production not up to par.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A more lively reading or better production would have made this better. The monotone and pace made it easy for the mind to wonder and get distracted.

Drab narration

I could not focus on content of this book because of narration style. Maybe it was good?

Content is great!

The reader has mispronounced some words, you would be wise to be mindful of it.

Logical expansion of the process of creation

This is an amazing work, logic applied to the process of creation. Troward first expounds upon why mental science is reality, then logically follows that deduction to conclusions which must therefore follow. If you are an analyzing type of person, you will gain great knowledge of the law of attraction and thought substance by listening to this work. It is very deep and takes study not just casual listening.

Wonderful book on mental science

Did meet my expectations overall Thomas toward at his best

The narrator was brilliant, clear and precise

Good listening overall.

Title: Welcome to the Jungle

Subtitle: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Bipolar but Were Too Freaked Out to Ask

Author: Hilary Smith

Narrator: Jennette Selig

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 66 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Bipolar is one of the most commonly diagnosed emotional/psychiatric condition and diagnosis tends to come when one is in one's late teens or early 20s. And yet almost nothing has been written about it from eye level and a young person's perspective.

Welcome to the Jungle fills that gap with its upfront, empowering approach to the challenges of being diagnosed bipolar. Both humorous and immensely honest, it offers a true "in the trenches" perspective young listeners will trust.

With chapters ranging from What Just Happened?: Life Beyond Diagnosis to Here Be Downers: Drugs, Booze, and Suicide to Hippy Shit That Actually Works: Herbs, Wilderness Time, and Other Ways to Help Keep Your Shit Together to Hell is Finding Good Insurance: How to Get Your Ass Covered in Troubled Times, Smith brings bipolar self help to the street level.

You have bipolar. It's you against the mothership. Lock and load, lock and load...

Members Reviews:

Perfect look at Bipolar- with a bunch of FUNNY!

Would you listen to Welcome to the Jungle again? Why?

I would definitely listen to Welcome to the Jungle again. It gives an informative look into the the world of bipoloar by someone who actually has been there. Even better she explains bipolar topics in a way that can be easily understood-- plus it is so funny! No pyschobabble here. It was great to feel "Hey, I got what she has and she has it together!" It was a validating humourous story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hillary Smith... everything she says is true and I completely identify, but on top of that she is FUNNY and down to earth! Love it!

What does Jennette Selig bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

At first, I didn't relate to the story teller's verbalization of the story, but after the first chapter, I got it and I could see her as Hillary Smith. It worked.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

After reading certain parts I was so inspired, I wanted to share this book with my husband and kids. And I did! It made me feel better because now they can understand what my brain goes thru. It is still something I can't verbalize, I'm glad Hillary can.

Must have book for Bipolar info. A+++++++

If you could sum up Welcome to the Jungle in three words, what would they be?

Bipolar survival guide.

What did you like best about this story?

Easy to follow nonjudgemental factual info from a first hand perspective.

What about Jennette Seligs performance did you like?

Everything, easy to follow, well thought out and exceptional delivery. The only complaint I have is that the insurance info is now outdated.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really, but that in no way detracts from the book.

Any additional comments?

I hope she writes a follow-up book.

Father of Bipolar Daughter

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Cried in parts

Any additional comments?

As the Father of a Bipolar daughter I found this book incredibly insightful about the world my daughter is living in. I had been at a loss as to how to help her!. This book has given me a place to start and understand what I can and should do to help live a better life with bipolar.

Outstanding Insight.

Title: The Archetypal Imagination

Subtitle: Carolyn and Ernest Fay Series in Analytical Psychology

Author: James Hollis

Narrator: Kevin Pierce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-12

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 51 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

"What we wish to know, and most desire, remains unknowable and lies beyond our grasp."

With these words, James Hollis leads listeners to consider the nature of our human need for meaning in life and for connection to a world less limiting than our own.

In The Archetypal Imagination, Hollis offers a lyrical Jungian appreciation of the archetypal imagination. He argues that without the human mind's ability to form energy-filled images that link us to worlds beyond our rational and emotional capacities, we would have neither culture nor spirituality. Drawing upon the work of poets and philosophers, Hollis shows the importance of depth experience, meaning, and connection to an "other" world.

Just as humans have instincts for biological survival and social interaction, we have instincts for spiritual connection as well. Just as our physical and social needs seek satisfaction, so the spiritual instincts of the human animal are expressed in images we form to evoke an emotional or spiritual response, as in our dreams, myths, and religious traditions.

The author draws upon the work of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies to elucidate the archetypal imagination in literary forms. To underscore the importance of incarnating depth experience, he also examines a series of paintings by Nancy Witt.

With the power of the archetypal imagination available to all of us, we are invited to summon courage to take on the world anew, to relinquish outmoded identities and defenses, and to risk a radical reimagining of the larger possibilities of the world and of the self.

Critic Reviews:

"This book on archetypal imagination is a feast of poetic and artistic references to the numinosity of the imagination." (

Journal of Analytical Psychology)

"Those interested in Jungian psychology, spirituality, and healing will appreciate...this book." (

Review of Texas Books)

"Hollis has written a brief, elegant, and well-crafted volume that looks at aspects of the archetypal imagination." (

Choice)

Members Reviews:

Not like his other books

I wish I had liked this book better. I really enjoyed and got a lot out of Dr. Hollis' other audio books, all of which I highly recommend. There's value here too, but the book is very different from the others.

To begin with, this is not written for a broad audience but rather for those who have a solid background in the works and theories of C.G. Jung. In particular, Dr. Hollis uses Jung's theories to explicate works of the archetypal imagination - including the poetry of Rilke and works of art by artists he's known. And he uses those works of art to discuss Jung's theory of the archetypes. Hollis' erudition and knowledge of the arts is impressive and is very much on display, particularly in his discussion of Rilke.

The discussion of visual art does not work in an audio book. It is possible to download a free pdf copy of the book through the Texas A&M University website, but if you are like me (and a lot of people) and listen to audio books on your daily commute, that may not help much.

There is a very strong spiritual theme here (though if you are a literalist about religion, Hollis' works are probably not for you - he's very clear about not having any patience with literalism in religion).

Title: Transcendence of the Western Mind

Subtitle: Physics, Metaphysics, and Life on Earth

Author: Samuel Avery

Narrator: Andrew Mulcare

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-02-12

Publisher: Wetware Media

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

What is consciousness? This audiobook presents an understanding of life that transcends matter. More importantly, it transcends the difference between what you are and what I am. Despite its reliance on what is known through Western Science, it is a transcendence of the Western understanding of reality. It does not begin with a world and then try to figure out how life evolved within it; it begins with life and extrapolates where the world came from.

Written by Samuel Avery, author of The Buddha and the Quantum.

Members Reviews:

Complex, broad, informative, deep information

This is a book I'll have to go back and listen to again. Not for any lack on the part of the author, but because I always have a tough time with physics.

I'm really interested in metaphysical explanations and seek a greater understanding of consciousness. But it seems the authors of books that explain these things like to start with a lot of physics and some philosophy before getting to consciousness or metaphysics.

Of course, any good teacher will start with the basics, so apparently an understanding of consciousness means learning about space-time, the speed of light as a constant, protons, neutrons or galaxies, the double-slit experiment and its implications, dimensions, the senses, perception . . .

The explanations in this book come from another angle, and I appreciate that very much since I struggle so much physics. I grasped only about 50 percent of this book, so I'll go back again as I do return to these books to get a better understanding the next go round.

The narration is excellent, and if I want to be nit-picky there a few moments that a good editor would have cut out as the reader stopped, and re-read a sentence, probably with the expectation that it would have been edited.

Outstanding Wordcraft

Would you consider the audio edition of The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness: A Physical Basis for Immaterialism to be better than the print version?

Andrew Mulcare does a superb narration. Every word is clear and concise and delivered in a very receivable manner .

What did you like best about this story?

This book will please anyone with an interest in modern physics or consciousness.

What does Andrew Mulcare bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Andrew Mulcare delivers his narrations in a manner that is never tiring and easily ' easy-to-follow ,While driving or walking.

If you could give The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness: A Physical Basis for Immaterialism a new subtitle, what would it be?

The place of conscious observation in modern physics. What does meditation have to add to be careful contemplation of physics .Samuel Avery has well thought out, reasoned the issues of quantum mechanics and relativity theory and has applied it to meditation experience, to propose a new mythology.. .

Any additional comments?

I would like to meet Sam Avery, and talk to him more about his books I've read or listen to several of his audiobooks and have watched a presentation on the Internet.I wonder if he has read Guilio Tononi's recent book , Phi ? The integration of information to the highest level but no higher ( Phi) is discussed or paraphrased in Avery's booksThe Being or the observer in us all is the mythology waiting for a scientific theory.

Title: The Ravenous Brain

Subtitle: How the New Science of Consciousness Explains Our Insatiable Search for Meaning

Author: Daniel Bor

Narrator: Walter Dixon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-07-12

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 71 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Consciousness is our gateway to experience: it enables us to recognize Van Goghs starry skies, be enraptured by Beethovens Fifth, and stand in awe of a snowcapped mountain. Yet consciousness is subjective, personal, and famously difficult to examine: philosophers have for centuries declared this mental entity so mysterious as to be impenetrable to science.

In The Ravenous Brain, neuroscientist Daniel Bor departs sharply from this historical view, and builds on the latest research to propose a new model for how consciousness works. Bor argues that this brain-based faculty evolved as an accelerated knowledge gathering tool. Consciousness is effectively an idea factory - that choice mental space dedicated to innovation, a key component of which is the discovery of deep structures within the contents of our awareness. This model explains our brains ravenous appetite for information - and in particular, its constant search for patterns. Why, for instance, after all our physical needs have been met, do we recreationally solve crossword or Sudoku puzzles? Such behavior may appear biologically wasteful, but, according to Bor, this search for structure can yield immense evolutionary benefits - it led our ancestors to discover fire and farming, pushed modern society to forge ahead in science and technology, and guides each one of us to understand and control the world around us.

But the sheer innovative power of human consciousness carries with it the heavy cost of mental fragility. Bor discusses the medical implications of his theory of consciousness, and what it means for the origins and treatment of psychiatric ailments, including attention-deficit disorder, schizophrenia, manic depression, and autism. All mental illnesses, he argues, can be reformulated as disorders of consciousness - a perspective that opens up new avenues of treatment for alleviating mental suffering.

A controversial view of consciousness, The Ravenous Brain links cognition to creativity in an ingenious solution to one of sciences biggest mysteries.

Critic Reviews:

[A] lively look at what research is revealing about consciousness and a view of some of the ethical implications of recent findings about the brains ravenous appetite for wisdom. . . . Bor keeps general listeners in mind, making challenging subject matter entertaining by peppering his narrative with personal anecdotes, imaginative thought experiments and probing research studies. . . . An enthusiastic report from the front lines of cognitive science designed to pique the interest of nonscientists. (Kirkus Reviews)

Title: The Woman Who Changed Her Brain

Subtitle: And Other Inspiring Stories of Pioneering Brain Transformation

Author: Barbara Arrowsmith-Young

Narrator: Lisa Bunting

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-12

Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 38 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Barbara Arrowsmith-Young was born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn - or worse. As a child, she read and wrote everything backward, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and was physically uncoordinated. She could make no sense of an analogue clock. But by relying on her formidable memory and iron will, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to fix her own brain. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than thirty years of working with both children and adults.

Recent discoveries in neuroscience have conclusively demonstrated that, by engaging in certain mental tasks or activities, we actually change the structure of our brains - from the cells themselves to the connections between cells. The capability of nerve cells to change is known as neuroplasticity, and Arrowsmith-Young has been putting it into practice for decades. With great inventiveness, after combining two lines of research, Barbara developed unusual cognitive calisthenics that radically increased the functioning of her weakened brain areas to normal and, in some areas, even above-normal levels. She drew on her intellectual strengths to determine what types of drills were required to target the specific nature of her learning problems, and she managed to conquer her cognitive deficits. Starting in the late 1970s, she has continued to expand and refine these exercises, which have benefited thousands of individuals. Barbara founded Arrowsmith School in Toronto in 1980 and then the Arrowsmith Program to train teachers and to implement this highly effective methodology in schools all over North America. Her work is revealed as one of the first examples of neuroplasticitys extensive and practical application. The idea that self-improvement can happen in the brain has now caught fire.

The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brains profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

Critic Reviews:

If you have a son, a daughter, a parent, a spouse, or a brain, this is a must-read book. It will open your mind to new possibilities on how to deal with traffic jams in the brain. (Alvaro Fernandez, CEO & Co-Founder, SharpBrains.com)

"Arrowsmith-Young has been able to describe, in a poignant and often unforgettable way, what it feels like to have a devastating learning disorder - but also what its like to leave it behind. Most everyone reading this book will find in its unique case histories, a new way to think about peoples cognitive difficulties in coping with the world. Here is an opportunity to understand the mental glitches and deeper problems of their own or of others in a new way.

Title: What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite

Author: David DiSalvo

Narrator: David DiSalvo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-17-12

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 70 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Why do we routinely choose options that don't meet our short-term needs and undermine our long-term goals? Why do we willingly expose ourselves to temptations that undercut our hard-fought progress to overcome addictions? Why are we prone to assigning meaning to statistically common coincidences? Why do we insist we're right even when evidence contradicts us?

In What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite, science writer David DiSalvo reveals a remarkable paradox: what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs. In fact, much of what makes our brains "happy" leads to errors, biases, and distortions, which make getting out of our own way extremely difficult. DiSalvo's search includes forays into evolutionary and social psychology, cognitive science, neurology, and even marketing and economics - as well as interviews with many of the top thinkers in psychology and neuroscience today.

From this research-based platform, DiSalvo draws out insights that we can use to identify our brains' foibles and turn our awareness into edifying action. Ultimately, DiSalvo argues, the research does not serve up ready-made answers, but provides us with actionable clues for overcoming the plight of our advanced brains and, consequently, living more fulfilled lives.

Critic Reviews:

"This lively presentation of the latest in cognitive science convincingly debunks what DiSalvo calls 'self-help snake oil.'" (Publisher's Weekly)

"DiSalvo offers 'science-help' (as opposed to self-help) by detailing the mental shortcuts our minds like to take but that don't always serve us well, with the assumption that understanding brain function helps us fight its stubborn behavior." (Psychology Today)
