Not much here!

I was disappointed in this work. It was a little too mundane for me,

and a little trite. I would recommend other audible titles on buddhism and insight by Pema Chodron, Shinzen Young or Thich Nhat Hahn.

The most wonderful, informative and entertaining work on Buddhism on audible is "The Middle Way-Buddhism."

As for "Awakening the Buddhist Heart", not that enlightening nor informative.

loved it

gave me the opportunity to reflect on myself will make sure I listen to audio multiple times. just bought the hard cover also

Usual awesomeness!!

Lama Surya Das does it again! Wow. He's not going to let me give any other authors a chance, I find myself always reading his books!!! But awesome as always!!! Love it and grateful to have found his writings!

Members Reviews:

beautiful wisdom

A perspective rich and full of contemplation, this book points to the sacredness of simplicity while teching us gently how to love each other and ourselves more fully. It came at a good time in my life, and I'd wish that for anyone who finds it. Moore presents a literate and psychologically developed thesis. I do wish though, above all, that there was an unabridged version. The abridged oversimplifies some parts which are so much betterin their original completeness. I picked up the text recently and am finding so much more in the depths of the print version. The audio on this was easy to listen to, engaging nad never got annoying or patronizing.

Anything by Thomas Moore

I can not think of any writer that speaks to me more than Thomas Moore. Thomas Moore is a must for the spiritual journey.

I could not get past the Peter Thomas voiceover

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I will need to listen to this again. It is likely that I have watched too much TV and heard Peter Thomas too often on NOVA and Forensic Files. His voice just kept taking me back to those programs and not into the

Would you be willing to try another book from Thomas Moore? Why or why not?

Yes

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The Narrator is truly gifted but perhaps his voice is too well known from other work.

Abridged leaves so much out.....

I am taking a class and this is one of our main text books. I was traveling so thought the audio would be great to listen to on the trip. I had trouble finding the chapter I was supposed to be reading; arriving home and comparing with the text I found large portions missing from the audio. Besides this complaint, the book is fabulous! The author's approach opens our minds and therefore hearts to a loving approach towards the reality of life's challenges here on earth. This book is a must for counselors! Also for anyone wanting an understanding of inner conflicts.

It is a view of beauty in ordinary life.

What made the experience of listening to Care of the Soul the most enjoyable?

It touches our conscious soul and helps us foster the flourishing of our own lives.

What did you learn from Care of the Soul that you would use in your daily life?

I will try to live my daily life with a transparent soul.

Any additional comments?

I wish it was not abridged however I did get SO much out of it.

Members Reviews:

A great guide for Men to avoid pitfalls of life...

A great guide for Men to help avoid the pitfalls of life that we can find ourselves in. And if were in those pitfalls, helpful advice to getting ourselves out and back on track to a better life. Thanks, Dr. Laura! Your sage wisdom is always appreciated!

Fantastic!

I am sending a copy to my adult son. We have 2 boys (21/16) I have already told them that once they marry that while I hope our relationships stay close; their priority and 1st thought should always be of their wife and children. I also gave them the ok to keep me in check if ever I am riding the line of an overbearing mother. It is my worst nightmare to become a burden to our boys. They are not ours to keep.

Outside of that crucial point this book is full of good wisdom on what good men are made of. Good women crave these type of men that understand provision is not only monetary. Great book Dr. L!!

very interesting.

author speaks on very good points.wish she would brought up other topics when it cones to men.will definitely read her other books

Title: Alcohol Lied to Me: The Intelligent Escape from Alcohol Addiction

Author: Craig Beck

Narrator: Craig Beck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-30-14

Publisher: Viral Success Limited

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 93 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Craig Beck was a successful and functioning professional man in spite of a "two bottles of wine a night" drinking habit. For 20 years, he struggled with a problem drinking, all the time refusing to label himself an alcoholic because he did not think he met the stereotypical image that the word portrayed.

All these "willpower" based attempts to stop drinking failed. Slowly, he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction and one by one, all the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time, he noticed that he genuinely didn't want to drink anymore.

In this audiobook, he will lead you through the same amazing process. You can stop drinking today.... No need to declare yourself an alcoholic. No group meetings or expensive rehab. No humiliation, no pain, and no "willpower" required.

Alcohol Lied to Me has already helped thousands of people to escape from alcohol addiction. Newly updated, this third edition of the audiobook includes two new chapters.

Members Reviews:

awsome

This was a great perspective and the hard cold truth you need to hear about this silent killer.

Great Book

This is truly a life changing book

The title says everything and Greg does a great job in the audiobook to show you this

Useful.

Useful info. But I found Allen Carr's method much better. The book would have been better if he elaborated more on topics of ego and sub-sub-conscious mind.

More convincing than competitive books about this.

I just finished listening to Alcohol Lied to Me and Escaping the Evil Clown audiobooks. They are the best books I've heard yet on dealing with alcohol. I gave up alcohol this spring for 3 months after listening to The Easy Way to Control Alcohol by Allen Carr because I wanted to lose 25 pounds before I went on a 7 week backpack hike (and I did lose the 25 pounds, alcohol weakens my appetite will power and I put on weight if I drink). I did my 7 week backpack this summer but did drink once every 8 days when we had a zero mileage day and resumed drinking after finishing the hike but in the 2 months since then I've gained 7 pounds and wanted to give up drinking again to keep the weight off and I'm on day 11 of abstinence now. Beck's audiobooks are much more convincing than Carr's book and this time I plan to make it permanent. I know I can go without alcohol as I do it for 7 weeks every summer on my annual backpack hikes. I do really appreciate the author explaining everything the way he does though. I did not realize about the 24 hour withdrawal urge (it explains it perfectly, 24 hours after giving up wine is when I want it again the most). Also I'm glad to know that after 2 weeks, one doesn't really have that withdrawal urge anymore. I'm also glad to have the mental image of how horrible alcohol is by itself. The author is right, I'd never drink it straight. And the realization that alcohol kills cells (that's why it's used to sterilize things) is a powerful image. I do want to 100% eliminate alcohol from my life the rest of my life though as I know it's the best way to live a healthy life and save money too. Not only will one save money on alcohol not bought but also on about 30% less food bought as one without alcohol does not eat as much.

Title: Nothing Changes Until You Do

Subtitle: A Guide to Self-Compassion and Getting Out of Your Own Way

Author: Mike Robbins

Narrator: Mike Robbins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-06-14

Publisher: Hay House

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 38 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, he had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player" - a process fraught with emotional highs and lows. He quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world - our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors. Even the most successful people struggle with their relationship with themselves.

In Nothing Changes Until You Do, Mike looks at this delicate relationship and brings to light a new way to look at life, opening your eyes to your innate value. In these 40 inspiring stories, Mike shows you how to get out of your own way and make peace with yourself. With humor, authenticity, and ease, he illustrates that with a little self-compassion and a healthy dose of self-acceptance, anyone can turn away from the negatives that manifest because of a critical self-perception - things like unkindness, insecurity, addictions, unnecessary drama, and more. Youll learn to have more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for yourself - thus giving you access to more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for the people (and everything else) in your life.

20% Inspiration, 80% Biography

Every so often I pick up a book like this just as a reminder on things I should already be constantly aware of, and to find a little inspiration here and there. That's essentially what this book is for about 20% of it. It's a message that boils down to a variation of the Law of Attraction: if you change your perception, you change your world. It's a good message, but... the other 80% consists of personal anecdotes of the author's personal life, and after a while it gets tedious despite the best intentions. It's ironic to me that had he presented this as a biography instead of a self-help title, it might have been better, but it probably wouldn't sell nearly as well.

Robbins is a decent enough narrator for his own book, but as he's also a public speaker, it could have been better if he'd presented this in such a way as to harness those abilities instead of making it sound like he was just reading his book.

A quick read

I read this book and I'm still trying to get parts of it. Really most of the knowledge is available from other sources and has been said many, many times! Mostly this book is a review or condensed version of many other books.

Honest, Authentic and Relatable

Would you listen to Nothing Changes Until You Do again? Why?

Yes! His stories are healing, uplifting and compassionate. Many of the topics he discusses are similar to my own struggles. I felt the confidence and strength in his words, reminding me to stand in my power. Thank you for writing this book and sharing your experiences with us!

Living in a bubble

The author is short on specifics and long on pie-in-the-sky pats on the back. All of these self-realization exercises would be great if you were unemployed and have all day to do them.

motivating!

Well narrated, piles of wisdom, told with great humor.. I will buy the non audio version to use tools.

Discover: How to set professional and personal goals that you actually achieve.

Do you often set goals that you never seem to reach? We're all filled with dreams and aspirations. Most long for fulfilling relationships. Some desire personal freedom. Others want fame and success. And some strive for profitable businesses. Wherever your ambitions may lie, goal setting can get you there.

On the other hand, the wrong goal can leave you feeling frustrated and unmotivated. When you set a goal that's too lofty, it's easy to give up when your dreams don't turn into reality.

We all have important milestones we'd like to reach. The trick is to create a plan and commit to it. Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals can help you do this.

Take Action: Focus on S.M.A.R.T. goals and get real results.

It's easy to set S.M.A.R.T. goals. Simply write down a desired outcome on a piece of paper and create a deadline for achieving it. The hard part is taking action. As you know, the Internet is full of books that talk about setting goals. The problem? Most don't talk about the daily actions (or habits) required to achieve them.

In the book S.M.A.R.T. Goals Made Simple, you'll get a 10-step plan for setting and achieving your goals. Unlike other titles, this book will teach you how to turn any idea into an actionable plan. Not only will you get an overview of S.M.A.R.T. goals, you'll also get a blueprint for turning them into daily routines.

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

I work for Texas Roadhouse. As a company we focus on SMART goals all the time, so it was great to find a book dedicated to it. They've even put extra time into continuing adding value to the book after it was purchased. It's nice to see the dedication to what they write about above a paycheck. I'd definitely recommend this book.

Narrator: Jason McCoy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-03-10

Publisher: Big Happy Family, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 175 votes

Publisher's Summary:

In this New Thought classic, Atkinson looks at the law of attraction in the thought world. He points out the similarities between the law of gravitation and the mental law of attraction. He explains that thought vibrations are as real as those manifesting as light, heat, magnetism, and electricity. The difference is in the vibratory rate, which also explains the fact that thought vibrations cannot usually be perceived by our five senses.

Good info Bad narrator

I love this book but the narrator speaks so fast that it just ruins it altogether I cant stand to listen becuase I cant keep up. He speaks like he has to hurry becuase he has somewhere to be. The information is good though if you can keep up.

Law of attraction (Thought Vibration)

Powerful and enlightening, for me anyway. This audio book is too cool for words. The information in this book for some one studying or just being introduced to the Law of Attraction is phenomenal to say the least. It has a lot of information for such a small audio book. Listen to what the author is saying, practice what the audio book preaches, and you can get a lot from it. The reader is spot on when it comes to conveying what is written to the listener. For me this was an excellent audio book. It takes more than one listen for it to sink in but when it does watch out! You will be more aware of yourself and your actions and reactions than you ever thought possible.

Whew!

Read at such a fast pace I could barely keep up. Very few breaks at the ends of sentences, just a non-stop ramble by a guy who sounds like he's afraid to stop talking or someone will come and take his microphone. This book was written in the early 1900's so it's not anything like what I thought I was getting. No current research. Not that the info is bad or the book poorly written, it's just dated. It might even be pleasant with a different narrator. Someone with a much slower pace and a calmer tone that would giver you time to ruminate on the material. I think you can get a copy of it online for free. Reading it for yourself might your best bet.

I have to speed read along...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The editing of this production was too tight. The reader never takes a breath and has no expression. Its very close to mechanical. I had to go and purchase the book so I could speed read with the narrator.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World?

The entire idea is amazing and I am excited to explore the possibilities of practicing what I have learnt.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jason McCoys performances?

No, unfortunately. I want the topics by this publisher, but will have to explore other options.

Do you think Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Of course.

The information is good, the narrator needs work

I've listened to this book years ago and the narrator was better. Here we learn that we're wasting energy because we're holding onto something we need to let go of. We have negative thoughts and emotions throughout the day and this book will help you get through them by dealing with them.
