    We all know what is healthy to think and what is not, much like we know that eating an apple is better than gorging on donuts. But once we start thinking anxious thoughts, it is tough to move from disaster to reality. Our brain can ruin our day. The road map to happiness can be found in Freeing Yourself from Anxiety. Unlike most guides, Dr. Tamar Chansky’s book explains that the solution is not positive thinking but possible thinking. Armed with her strategies, listeners can achieve accurate perceptions of their lives that can liberate them from fear and perfectionism.

    Shunryu Suzuki was a direct spiritual descendant of the renowned 13th-century Zen master Dogen, and his hugely influential Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind ranks with the great classics of Zen literature. Suzuki's clear, coherent translation of ancient beliefs and principles miraculously leaves all the subtleties of Zen intact, while adapting the language to modern sensibilities.

    Would you try another book from Shunryu Suzuki and/or Peter Coyote?

    would maybe try another book but not what i was looking for in this book


    What was most disappointing about Shunryu Suzuki’s story?

    it was for a more advanced student not a beginner


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Coyote?

    not sure


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind?

    did not red enough to make this judgement

    Investigative journalist and number-one New York Times best-selling author Ian Halperin reveals the true and untold story about this larger-than-life and often outrageous figure. From his childhood in Austria to his rise as a star of American conservative politics, the story of ArnoldSchwarzenegger's life reads like the script of a Hollywood B-movie penned by Horatio Alger.

    Would you listen to 11.22.63 again? Why?

    I don't normally bother writing reviews but I have to give credit to the narrator of this story was amazing......The story was compelling with a bucket load of characters and the narrator was flawless through out. I generally prefer reading bios and non fiction books but i would highly recommend this story to anyone at all one of kings best up there with " the Green mile"
