Title: Buddhism and the Art of Psychotherapy

Subtitle: Carolyn and Ernest Fay Series in Analytical Psychology

Author: Hayao Kawai

Narrator: Tom Pile

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Publisher's Summary:

In this engaging and intriguing work, renowned Japanese psychologist Hayao Kawai examines his own personal experience of how a Japanese became a Jungian psychoanalyst and how the Buddhism in him gradually reacted to it.

Kawai reviews his method of psychotherapy and takes a fresh look at I in the context of Buddhism. His analysis, divided into four chapters, provides a new understanding of the human psyche from the perspective of someone rooted in the East.

Kawai begins by contemplating his personal koan: "Am I a Buddhist and/or a Jungian?" His honest reflections parallel Jung's early skepticism about Buddhism and later his positive regard for Buddha's teachings. He then relates how the individuation process is symbolically and meaningfully revealed in two philosophical and artistic picture series, one Eastern and one Western.

After exploring the Buddhist conception of the ego and the self, which is the opposite of to the Western view, Kawai expands psychotherapy to include sitting in silence and holding contradictions or containing opposites.

Drawing on his own experience as a psychoanalyst, Kawai concludes that true integration of East and West is both possible and impossible. Buddhism and the Art of Psychotherapy is an enlightening presentation that deepens the listener's understanding of this area of psychology and Eastern philosophy.

The book is published by Texas A&M University Press.

Critic Reviews:

"A remarkable book by a remarkable man." (

Journal of Analytical Psychology)

"Get out your best Mikasa and pour yourself a cup of tea, dear reader. This is a good one." (

Spring)

"In a self-effacing style that fails to dim the brilliance of his intellect and intuition, Kawai explores the differences between the Japanese and Western ego." (

The Bloomsbury Review)

Members Reviews:

Marvelous insight into the intersection of East & West

This is a unique & inspired book by the 1st Jungian analyst in Japan, who provides rare & unusual insight into the differences & similarities between East & West psychology- both theoretical & personal. Kawai provides inputs from his family's Jodo (Pure Land) sect as well as his "2nd Master" the Buddhist monk Myoe's (1173-1232) Kegon (Garland) sect & Zen (both Soto & Rinzai). He begins with an eye-opening biography of his personal journey to both Jungian psychology & Buddhism with relationships to Freud's & Rogers' psychologies. He expands on his friends' Spiegelman & Miyuki's "Buddhism & Jungian Psychology" analysis of the Zen Ox-herding Pictures, including photos both Ku-on's & a contemporary Japanese woman's version (but not Pu-ming's) & a similar comparison with the alchemical Rosarium Philosophorum but with an interesting chart comparing the titles of each plate-pointing out the amazing similarity. Many of his observations are revealed in a personal manner--he shares himself with the reader.

Comparing East & West: p. 110: "Complementarity of Buddhist `eachness' & Western individuality" & pp. 30-1: "I found that my psychotherapy was deeply related to what Buddhist sutras deal with," & p.

A Very Helpful Book

The book contains very useful information about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It explains the importance of CBT in treating mental problems, like psychosis. Fortunately too, as the book says, this form of psychotherapy can also alleviate our problems with stress, extreme anxiety, panic, OCD, phobias and even addiction. If you suffer from any of this, I believe this book can be a big help. You can start by following the simple workable techniques and approaches that the author incorporated in this book.

CBT overview

Very broad overview. I was hoping for more specific tools. I was also surprised that Aaron Beck was not acknowledges as a founder of CBT. For someone who wants an introduction this provides it in clear basic terminology.

Not what I expected.

Title: The Memory Code

Subtitle: The Traditional Aboriginal Memory Technique That Unlocks the Secrets of Stonehenge, Easter Island and Ancient Monuments the World Over

Author: Lynne Kelly

Narrator: Louise Siverson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-22-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

In the past the elders had encyclopaedic memories. They could name all the animals and plants across the landscape and the stars in the sky, too. Yet most of us struggle to memorise more than a short poem.

Using traditional Aboriginal Australian songlines as the key, Lynne Kelly has identified the powerful memory technique used by indigenous people around the world. She has discovered that this ancient memory technique is the secret behind the great stone monuments like Stonehenge, which have for so long puzzled archaeologists.

The stone circles across Britain and Northern Europe, the elaborate stone houses of New Mexico, huge animal shapes in Peru, and the statues of Easter Island all serve as the most effective memory system ever invented by humans. They allowed people in nonliterate cultures to memorise the vast amounts of practical information they needed to survive.

In her fascinating audiobook, The Memory Code, Lynne Kelly shows us how we can use this ancient technique to train our memories today.

Members Reviews:

Good book, a bit repetitive

I purchased this book because i am very interested in developing my memory and memory techniques. I really enjoyed the book, since it gave me new ideas on how to expand my memory systems, mix different techniques and develop more ways of storing information. It is definitely worth the read. Having said that, the descriptive part on archeological sites is a bit too similar and dense in my opinion. A bit too much like reading the PHD dissertation than a leisure book. I would much rather have the author expand on how & why she chose to create her different memory journeys, as well as the troubles and tips she found while making her different mnemonic devices and how she thinks we could apply these techniques it in today's world.

thoroughly enjoyable, practical and enlightening

Would you listen to The Memory Code again? Why?

This book was thoroughly enjoyable in both is revelations around memory devices used by both neolithic cultures and indigenous cultures around the world (they may have been understood by others but this is the first account of them that made sense to me). The book was beautifully read by Louise Silverson. I had heard of the oral histories of the indigenous cultures of New Zealand and Australia but had never conceived any notion of how they achieved their incredible feats of memory. Lynne beautifully outlines some of these methods and more importantly, for me, helps me understand how country and songlines become so important to telling that story for indigenous groups - a concept I knew about but couldn't quite comprehend previously. It also occurs to me that so many 'libraries' were destroyed by our forebears inability to understand the impact of taking children away from their countries and cultures and displacing whole groups - how much knowledge have been lost because a generation wasn't taught these histories.

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-16

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Written for both lay and professional listeners, this book offers new approaches to understanding addiction and the public policies necessary to successfully battle its detrimental effects on society. The author explains why current policies are ineffective and how they fail to cure the "problem". He argues that they actually encourage addiction by allowing people to feel blameless for the consequences of their choices.

Critic Reviews:

"Addiction Is a Choice is a powerful antidote against the twin poisons of anti-drug propaganda and drug prohibition. (Thomas Szasz, M.D., SUNY Health Science Center)

"Schaler's... suggestions for changes in public policy and for individual change demand consideration." (Kirkus Reviews)

A unique, masterly work. The reader can learn how the controversial area of addiction can be looked at and understood in a new light. (Morris Chafetz, M.D., National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism)

Members Reviews:

some interesting points

Thought provoking disagree with some of the content could be misleading for people struggling with addiction being part of an AA group has far greater successful outcome of over coming addiction this book seems to undermine the true benefits of AA recovery and tries to portray the science of addiction which has not been that successful ask any psychotherapy or psychiatric proffesional how successful have they been in treating addiction compared with AA success rate.

Title: Subliminal

Subtitle: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behaviour

Author: Leonard Mlodinow

Narrator: Leonard Mlodinow

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-19-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard's Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking) and War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra) here examines how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world, and how, for instance, we often misperceive everything from our relationships with family, friends and business associates, the reasons for our investment decisions, to our own past.

Your preference in politicians, the amount of tip you give the waiter-all our judgments and perceptions-reflect the workings of our mind on two levels, the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us.

The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades scientific researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind.

The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious, and a sea change in our understanding of how the mind affects the way we live. These cutting-edge discoveries have revealed that the way we experience life-our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment-is largely driven by the mind's subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed.

Employing his trademark wit and his lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self, increasing our understanding of how the human mind works, and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.

Leonard Mlodinow received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California, Berkeley, was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, and now teaches at the California Institute of Technology. He also wrote for the television series MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Members Reviews:

very good topic bias

very good words on how my mind tricks me and the implicit biases we all share. the ending was particularly very good with the study about emotional illusions and the quote by jobs

insights of the mind

Really enjoyable, good narration (although had to slow to 90%) and very interesting info about how the mind works. Read/listened to a few in this area but still found this new and engaging.

doesn't include an attachment of figures discussed (e.g. one to show your blindspot) which is a bit of a pain as they're heavily discussed

Fascinating!

If you could sum up Subliminal in three words, what would they be?

A fascinating look at what happens below our conscious mind and how it influences every part of our perception. The book looks and both the pros and cons and how your rational decisions might actually be far from rational. The author manages to make the subject entertaining (even humorous) and salient. Highly recommended.

Possibly the most important book I've ever read!

A fascinating insight into the power of our subconscious mind. Engaging and even entertaining throughout. Thank you Leonard.

Fascinating & useful!

I found this much more accessible than the author's other book I listened to before it, "The Drunkard's Walk".

Fascinating Listening...

Dr Anthony Clare's conversations with various public figures are an intriguing insight the individuals he interviews.

His professional skill in respectfully honing in on the essence of what makes these people 'tick' is akin to being in the audience at the theatre for a top notch dramatic play - the difference being it isn't fiction. Even if some of these celebrities are unknown to you, their stories will keep your interest.

Superb listening

You don't get quality like Anthony Clare any more - God rest his soul. This is top drawer listening for anyone interested in what makes us all tick. Clare is gently probing and unearths great insight and candour from his guests. A master of his craft, and a delight to listen to.

Title: Carol Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Summary

Format: Unabridged

Length: 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-05-16

Publisher: Ant Hive Media

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea - the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment but may actually jeopardize success.

With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades as well as reach our own goals - personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

Just Ok

The narrators voice is not suited for this type of book - the narrator sounds like a yoga class instructor. Good thing it's short because you'd probably fall asleep. Next time I'll save my money and just purchase the book.

Good summary

What did you love best about Carol Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Summary?

Wow. Needed this perspective. With so much every day stress in modern life I think that these tools are valuable.

should improve the narrator -

great summary . had already attended a seminar about mindset so this was a bit of a repeat.

the least enjoyable part of the audio book was the robotic voice, tone and expression of the narrator.

sorry - but that totally put me off

Title: Mass Psychology 101

Subtitle: How to Control, Influence, Manipulate and Persuade a Group of People or Audience

Author: William Legend

Narrator: Doug Goodwin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-28-16

Publisher: Make Profits Easy LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

As an individual, it's easy to assume that there's not a lot you can do to affect change within a large group or an audience, but such an assumption is misleading. Look at Martin Luther. Look at his namesake, Martin Luther King Jr. Look at Hitler. Whether for good or for bad, these individuals have succeeded at calling large groups of people to action in completely radical ways.

People behave and react differently to things in groups than they do as individuals. A guy at a club with his buddies is almost always going to feel more confident and be more willing to try crazier things than the guy who came alone. By herself, you might never get the urge to take eight shots in rapid succession and then go make out with strangers and dance on tabletops, but with your friends, you sometimes turns into a party animal willing to take just about any suggestion thrown out there.

This book by author William Legend is about exploring the phenomenon of mass psychology and showing you how you can harness these powers to meet your own goals. It will give you detailed answers to questions like: How much power does an individual have over a group? Why and how do people conform? To what extent is behavior contagious? Do people always act in line with their beliefs?

The purpose of this book is to flesh out the answers to these questions and more in greater detail to show you how you can control, influence, manipulate, and persuade any group or audience.
