Members Reviews:

Terrible production, excellent book

I have to explain that I only give this 2 stars because the production isn't even fully edited. There are flubs, re-reads, etc. by the narrator. Most occur in the last 1/4 of the book. I guess they figured you might get bored of listening to a self-help type book by then, but I didn't. Dr. Henry Cloud has written another excellent book addressing relationships from his unique perspective of psychology and spirituality. The content gets 4 stars, the production gets a 2 stars.

Changes that Heal

The content of the book was very good. However, the reader's style was awkward and his cadence seemed unnatural which served to distract me from the listening. There were several misreads in the second half of the book and that was very distracting. The editing process somehow was missed and made the audio less than desirable.

Life-Changing material!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended this book to several people, who like me, were living in a perpetual cycle that would always lead us back to the same miserable spot of not quite achieving the contentment we had always longed for. When I decided to take my life off of what I call "auto-pilot," I first read Drs. Cloud and Townsend's book "Boundaries," which I had on my shelf for years. After reading it from cover to cover I realized I needed help to figure out WHY I had such a hard time with boundaries. Because I liked the style in which "Boundaries" was written, I looked Cloud and Townsend up on Audible and found this book. It was exactly what I needed to figure out where I have gone off track in my life and how to get back on track. "Changes That Heal" indeed continues to heal me, as I listen to it repeatedly, as well as a few other books that help me stay in a healthy mindset, reminding me of who I REALLY am, and how to express myself to those around with whom I struggle communicating. The narrator can over-dramatize the material at times, but don't let that deter you from the message that is being conveyed. I have since bought other Audible books by Dr. Cloud and have completely enjoyed the ones he has narrated himself.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Changes That Heal?

It never ceases to amaze me how I can listen to a chapter and get something new out of it each time.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Dick Fredricks?

He is not the worst narrator, though I feel he would occasionally over-dramatize the content of the book.

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

It made me laugh, cry, and everything in between. Ultimately it helped me to really evaluate the things in my life that I felt were not working, and gave me solutions on how to change those things.

Any additional comments?

I would pretty much buy any book that Dr. Cloud writes.

No complaints

If I had any complaints about this book I wouldn't dare express them here.

I will say that this is one of those books that would work better in print or on an iPad, because there are sections I wanted to whiz through and times that I would have liked to mark a page to come back to.

That's not a complaint, is it?

Life changing

I bought this 4 years ago (and I still complain too much), but I still listen to it all the time (at 2x speed because the speaker is a slow talker). Although, I don't follow the rules of the plan, it has still made me more conscious of when I complain and about 20% of the time I am able to catch myself and stop. (that's a significant amount of complaints and arguments avoided for me). I would recommend this to everyone, even if you don't complain.

Good premise, but drags on longer than it needs.

This book has a good message to pass a long. However I believe it dragged on pieces that it did not need to. The bulk of the book's idea was given in the first hour or so, but afterward, it went into stories that were repetitive. I would consider this a pass. Read what it's about and you got the jest of what it's trying to convey.

A Complaint Free World

Everyone is looking for transformation. This book A Complaint Free World will most definitely direct you on the right path. Although I am working extremely hard to get past the first few days, I am becoming more aware of just life itself. I can not thank Will Bowen enough. I challenge everyone to accept this challenge, listen to this book, it will change your life forever.

Life changing

Where does A Complaint Free World rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It was a great book. I'm not saying it was the best book ever. But the ideas presented and the message is one of the best.

Any additional comments?

In my lifetime I often find that the best experiences, books, and people that I later cherish are not those that jump out at me at first or even for a long time after. This book is like that. It seemed somewhat enjoyable and interesting while listening to it. But the appreciation for it came later because the concepts stuck with me and continued to germinate and grow... and then I started to realize that it significantly changed me, my behavior, and my relationships, for the better.

Members Reviews:

Inspiring!!!

Wayne W. Dyer is a wonderful and inspiring speaker that lifts up my heart and soul to a new level of awareness!!!

Lot's of absorbed wisdom

Wayne Dyer has absorbed and distilled most of the motivational, inspirational and spiritual writings that I've heard of. He has tried to live these ideas as well as teach them. I am particularly impressed that he focuses on service and stresses that when you feel you are unconnected to the "source" you are living out of your ego. His writing shows how he has evolved over the years. Good stuff.

Amazing !!!!

Dr. Wayne Dyer has such a high energy that I love listening to him, he draws me to his work, his books, his talks. This was not the typical explanation of the power of intention, it has to do with getting in touch with your source. Very Powerful. My most memorable moment of the talk, was Dyers Dozen. 12 Principles to Live By.

Wayne Dyer in a Nutshell

If I were to pick one work that is the "swan song" of Dr. Wayne Dyer, this would be it. This is the first work I point anyone to who's interested in Wayne Dyer's theories. He puts it all right there, short, sweet and elegantly simple.

A Life Changing Experience!

I saw this lecture on OPB and decided to get the audio version (also getting the DVD and book soon) so I can share this incredible, life changing lesson with others! Dr. Wayne Dyer is as honest and real as a person can get and his soothing voice, great humor and love for others shows in everything he does. I have read many of his books and I look forward to seeing him live this year in Portland, Oregon. His teachings are simple and easy to understand and absorb. Anyone open to a very personal healing and growth experience will benefit from this audio/DVD/book. This should be a standard of teaching in our schools!

Title: Quantum Healing

Author: Deepak Chopra, MD

Narrator: Deepak Chopra, MD

Format: Abridged

Length: 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-20-07

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 294 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Dr. Deepak Chopra, a respected New England endocrinologist, began his search for answers when he saw patients in his own practice who completely recovered after being given only a few months to live. In the mid-1980s he returned to his native India to explore Ayurveda, humanities most ancient healing tradition. Now he has combined the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics with the insights of Ayurvedic theory to show that the human body is controlled by a "network of intelligence" grounded in quantum reality.

Not a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic patterns that design our physiology, with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr. Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.

Critic Reviews:

"Dr. Chopra is a fine, evocative writer who maneuvers his way suavely through medicine, physics, and metaphysics. For anyone who has awaited a Tao of medicine, this book is a most welcome arrival." (The New England Journal of Medicine)

Members Reviews:

left me wanting more

Very good information here for those interested in the mind/body connection. The author reads alternately with a woman narrator, which I found really helped the pacing of this book. I will agree with another reviewer who longed for a bit more content - this is rather short. Including some of the healing meditations would have added some valuable content and bumped up the review to a 5 star.

Wonderful

Great Reading!...I only wish it had been longer, which is why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 It touches on one's ability for self-healing, but could go into even more detail with more stories for an even longer book. I hope another book follows in the very near future.

Unexpected Mind blowing truth

Oh my god Deepak! Thank you so much for all you do, for this wonderful book, and for all your books which are great. You have such a gift of explaining difficult materials in a very simple way so we all can get benefit. May life give it back to you multiplied with happiness, joy, health, love, money and all the wishes of your heart.

I love you and thank you for changing my perspective, for changing my life.

Great Information but Too Short!

I really enjoyed this book. The information was interesting and well presented, and the stories were great. The problem is that, for the price, it was way too short! I was left with a lot of questions and disappointed that no techniques were described in detail. With more content, I would have given it 5 stars.

Way too short!

I expected a book, not 55 minutes of what I have heard many times over. Absolutely no value for money spent....and I read and listen to many varied books on such topics.

Title: Authentic Happiness

Subtitle: Using the New Positive Psychology to Realize Your Potential for Lasting Fulfillment

Author: Martin E.P. Seligman

Narrator: John Dossett

Format: Abridged

Length: 4 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-07

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 435 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Drawing on groundbreaking psychological research, Seligman shows how Positive Psychology is shifting the profession's paradigm away from its narrow-minded focus on pathology, victimology, and mental illness to positive emotion, virtue and strength, and positive institutions. Our signature strengths can be nurtured throughout our lives, with benefits to our health, relationships, and careers.

The life-changing lesson of Authentic Happiness is that by identifying the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and sustainable levels of authentic contentment, gratification, and meaning.

Critic Reviews:

"A bold new plan for taking control of your life and finding lasting happiness." (Elle)

"This smooth abridgment, read perfectly by John Dossett, will win new respect for the behavioral sciences, which have taken a beating during the recent resurgence of the spiritual disciplines." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

It didnt change my life but it was still a good

I generally dislike self help books (especially the ridiculous ones claiming that the universe or quantum laws are doing the job for you). However, if a book at least aspires to be science based then I am willing to give it a try. In addition positive psychology i.e., the scientific study of what makes happy people happy, is a hot topic within psychology today and Martin Seligman is one of the founders of this field.

For these reasons I was able to overcome my fear of beeing pursuaded to change my life by a silly self help book. It was a nice surprise when early on Seligman acknowledged that happiness is not everything. One can find meaning in life without being extraordinarily happy. Interestingly, happy/optimistic people are actually quite inaccurate in their beliefs about the world when compared with depressed people. For instance, happy people thought they were in control of completely random events much longer than depressed people who acknowledged their inability to affect events much earlier.

Still happiness, at least statistically, is correlated with many beneficial effects. Happiness and optimism correlates with longevity, income, and ability to endure pain, and whether or not someone would end up in a happy marriage correlated with the type of smile (genuine or fake panam smiles) people had on photos from their youth.

So how do you become happy? Having the right genes helps but at least according to Seligman (who does quote a lot of studies), there are thing you can do to become happier. Be warned though, it requires an effort. Up to a rather low limit, money makes you happier. Having friends and a wife is also correlated with happiness.

Another strategy if you do not fancy wives and friends but would still like to be happy is to engage in gratifying activities. Gratifying activities (e.g. hiking) are the one that make you feel good about yourself for a long time after you have done them (often they require you to work in some way). This should be contrasted with pleasurable activities (e.g. eating chocolate) that make you feel good when you do them but not afterwards.

Members Reviews:

In Defense of the Narrator

I don't want anyone to be put off by the negative review of the narrator given previously. Professor Hopkins is a very effective reader of this book, because he understands thoroughly what he is reading. The only really bad narrator I've experienced while a member of Audible was the actor who read "Lonesome Dove," who clearly didn't pay attention to the words most of the time and faked the intonation. The title of this book makes it sound a bit like a lightweight self-help book, but it's really a wonderful, clear exposition of emptiness and Buddhist philosophy, as one comes to expect from His Holiness. I highly recommend it.

Very thorough, but very complex

First off I had no problem with the narrator, he did a good job on a very complex book.

The subject matter of this book is very complex and I would not recommend it to people who are not familier with buddhist concepts. However this book is a treasure of wisdom supported by analytical arguments which are very well structured and arranged.

This is THE best book I have read on this subject, you also REALLY have to concentrate while listening (not a light listen) . After listening (at least twice) you will have a lot of contemplation ahead of you...

Very Thorough

Yes as per the other comments the narrator is very monotone, but personally I was able to get past that once getting into the meat of the book about 2 hours in. From there on I was continually surprised at how carefully and thoroughly the subjects where explained. I have read a number of books on emptiness but this is definitely the most extensive guide to actual contemplation of the subject. To the point that yes I will be also buying the book to use as a study guide, which in itself is somewhat impractical from an audio book format.

Very deep

I went to a retreat based on this book, and we spent over an hour talking about just the first few sentences. There is so much in this book that you'll need to read/listen to it a few times to begin to grasp it as a whole. This book can change your life with a little time, meditation and mindfulness of what is being presented.

Great Book

I have heard it said by s scholar that His Holiness the Dali Lama thinks that a Western audience would benefit most by understanding emptiness. This book indeed beautifully fulfills his belief.

There really is no technical discussion of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, karma, rebirth, the Wheel of Samsara, the five aggregates, etc. which can be found it other of his work's.

©2006 Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks; © and (P)2006 Hay House, Inc.

Members Reviews:

Kenneth, from Nevada

My only comment is that Jerry Hicks is a terrible narrator. I am interested in the material but I could not listen to him race through the book. I would suggest getting the written version instead.

Not narrated by Abraham

Even though it says narrated by Esther it's not. Very difficult to listen to Jerry for long periods of time

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, Part I

Absolutely boring and repetitive. These people are normally wonderful. I do not know what happened here. It is unfortunate, but he says what you wish for then says 3 different things you say to achieve it and repeats that 3 sentence suggestion over and over (different for each intention you may have) I found this very elementary and a waste of my time. But, again these writers are usually wonderful.

Not My Favorite from the Hicks_Abraham Libray

I love the Abraham teachings, but found Jerry's narration difficult to listen to in comparison to other audiobooks where Ester is speaking. Her channels seem to inspire me where in this book the narration was dry, repeative, and mentally draining. I couldn't get emotionally connected, even though I love the subject. Great material but a difficult listen. ~D

A wonderful insight on the path of happiness

If you could sum up The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, Part I in three words, what would they be?

powerful, eye-opener, guidance

What other book might you compare The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, Part I to and why?

Ask and It Is Given, this is part of the same series / subject.

Which character as performed by Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks was your favorite?

It is not a novel.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Knowing that I can decide my thoughts and how I feel about any situation. And this little thing gives you control over your life.

Any additional comments?

Great book. Probably is best to be familiar with Abraham-Hicks teachings before handed this book, because of the vocabulary and the concepts. I re-listen to it several times because I wanted to really understand it. When it sunk in, it was a real eye-opener to happines and some great examples of how we can change our view of life.

Title: The Disappearance of the Universe

Author: Gary R. Renard

Narrator: Gary Renard, Doreen Virtue, Gene Bogart

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-13-06

Publisher: Hay House

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 617 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

When two such teachers appeared before Gary Renard in 1992, he chose to listen to them. (And ask a lot of questions.) The result is this startling audiobook: An extraordinary record of 17 mind-bending conversations that took place over nearly a decade, reorienting the author's life, and giving the world an uncompromising introduction to a spiritual teaching destined to change human history.

Members Reviews:

Some interesting ideas; narrators are awful

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

no. Although many if the ideas were thought provoking, the narrators, especially Gary, were so bad it detracted from the listening experience.

Has The Disappearance of the Universe turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, but I would never buy another audible in which Gary was one of the narrators.

What aspect of the narratorss performance would you have changed?

I would have had someone other than the author narrate the author's part. Gene sounded like a bad parody of a radio DJ. Doreen was pretty good.

Was The Disappearance of the Universe worth the listening time?

Barely. The content was somewhat interesting, but the narration was so bad, I didn't really enjoy the book.

Any additional comments?

I looked through other offerings authored by Gary Renard but found that he was also the narrator in all of them so I didn't purchase any.

Solid Content With Bad Form

I already read the text prior to purchasing the audio book, so my expectations as to the content were already set. The book reads quickly (took me about a day) and its message is solid. In contrast, the audio book (in my opinion) is rather loathsome to listen to. Something was certainly lost in the translation from print to audio.

As another reviewer mentioned, the person who plays the part of Arten has a radio announcer voice; while Pursah is played by Doreen Virtue, a familiar voice (if one listens to Hay House Radio). I think those two factors diminished the content considerably. They took away from the message more than they gave.

The only believable person in the audio book is Gary Renard himself. Then again, it was he who had the actual experience; not the other two.

However, as I considered it, I realized that this was one of those situations where I would be called upon to forgive. Could it have been done better? Without question it could have. Yet how many of us could have done it perfectly? Probably none.

Let this be a lesson to us all who seek the Truth: We screw up even the purest of messages with our own hands, try as we might to do otherwise. It is almost inevitable. Best to forgive it and take the content of what we're given; leaving the form behind.

If you're averse to reading a 150,000 word book, this audio format is just fine. The content is all there, just as it is in the book, and the audio quality is high and well recorded. But if you've heard Doreen and the other guy before, one can't help but be distracted by them.

I think the author should seriously consider redoing this book using real actors; perhaps ones with a heavy spiritual inclination, in order to capture the essence of not only the message, but of his overall experience.

Opened my eyes to ACIM

I had tried to read A Course in Miracles years ago but simply could not understand the text and always put it down.

Simple truth about self

Though the message is familiar and can be found in many other books of similar title, the author?s voice and delivery brings out the sincerity and power of the words. This is someone speaking from within one?s own intimate understanding of the potency of the message. I?d recommend it anybody looking to hear simple truth about ourself and be uplifted yet again.

Fabulous Audiobook!

I am a huge fan of this audiobook. I've never read anything by Louise Hay before, but for sure, she is an instant favorite. The Power is Within You is a great reminder that our lives are created by our beliefs. Change your belief, be open to receiving, and watch as miracles occur! I've experienced this firsthand in my own life and am thrilled to find yet another resource with additional insights. I highly recommend this book.

Great Book!

This is very good basic stuff that I have heard before, but if practiced these principles will change your life. Tons of good easy to understand principles. Just get it!

Wonderful Work!

All of Louise Hay's work has helped me feel better and more in control of the direction of not only my life, career & health---more importantly helping to instill a great sense of full accountability (which can be scary at first!) and a deep empowering "knowing" that we are the architects of our life situations, and it all starts with how we CHOOSE!!!! to think & use the tool that is our minds. Good luck & have fun relaxing into the best version of you!

Awesome life lessons in this book.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Power is Within You to be better than the print version?

I like to hear and see. I wouldn't rate one over the other. I do like to listen while driving or doing the dishes.

Have you listened to any of Louise L. Hays other performances before? How does this one compare?

Equal to the others I have heard from Louise Hay.

What did you learn from The Power is Within You that you would use in your daily life?

Nut shell - it's all about ME. Not in a selfish way. I am it for me. Not others

It's made a difference in my life

I thought that this would be an interesting way to use affirmations, but what I have found is a powerful tool that is helping to change me to be a more positive person. Since I have started to listen to this, I have found that I am more open to new thoughts and more positive with my relationships. This is such a positive, self-affirming set of thoughts!

Perfect! - One to cherish

Like Wayne Dyer, this collection of thoughts will (mostly) resonate. I like listening to this in traffic or after a real heavy day. Its different to most books, because you don't actually have to listen to each thought, and if you miss out on one idea, there's always another just round the corner.

I would class this book as almost meditative in nature.

too loud music/fast speed drown the great thoughts

The thoughts are great, especially if you are a Louise Hay fan. However, this particular audio book is annoying from a technological perspective. The background music is too loud and almost drowns out the all-important thoughts. Also, the speed of the audio is a tad too fast. Rather than enjoying listening to it, I feel my heart rate speeding up because of the speed of spoken word and music and the volume of the music. I don't know that I will actually listen to it as often as I had hoped. Too bad we can't separate the background music from the spoken word.

YES!

101 Power Thoughts is packed with excellent affirmations! Since I can only manage two 15 min sessions a day I really prefer a slightly faster pace.

Also: Her tape "What I Believe and Deep Relaxation" is also excellent moves at a slower pace and has an awesome 15 min. meditation that is also super charged with positive affirmations.

Will Soothe and Comfort

I notice Louise has many books and audios out. This was one audio I bought because of its cost--ended up being a great value.

This is one good audio of many affirmations that either I can accept or ponder on. The affirmations are accompanied by some peaceful piano music. I especially like to ponder on some of the affirmations to see whether they apply or not to my life. Or whether I can extend the affirmations to other aspects of my life.

I like to listen to Louise when working on something a bit stressful or when I'm tending towards negative thoughts. Sometimes its just good to have someone remind me of the many great things about me or how many of the negative things in life are actually seeds for future growth.

Whats interesting is that I do feel powerful after listening to her soothing voice. And her voice and emphasis are genuinely caring and thoughtful, not just a marketing pitch.

Also, Louise Hay runs Hayhouse Radio, a station with many weekly discussions between certain authors like Wayne Dyer and everyday people calling in.

I also have gone to the bookstore and see that her books are well written and mature. It's a guide for buying some more of her audio books. I read more on Louise to find she is real product of her work.

Nothing better than someone who nows what it's like to go from the bottom to a glorious life.
