    "Fabulous!"

    Okay, I love Tolle, Dyer, Chodron, Chopra, Ruiz, Byron Katie, and many others, and that won't change. But for the clearest explanation of how to disregard that 'nut' running commentary in my head, this book wins hands down. It is funny, I mean oh so, 'oh my goodness of course' belly laugh funny, and sensible and simple. I love simple. If you really want to understand who 'you' are...the real you behind the insanity, this is a great book. I found the narrator to be fine, not perfect but I had no problem listening to him. Listened all the way through first day and started over.

    "Changed my Life!"

    I have listened to this book about 8 times. Everytime I re-listen I hear something new.
    It has chaged my life and given me freedom. Thank you Michael Singer for sharing this wonderful way of living.

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

    Probably should have been listened to in one sitting, but definitely one that I will listen to a second time.

    "Great topic, poorly explained"
    Would you try another book from Michael A. Singer and/or Peter Berkrot?

    No


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Not sure


    What didn’t you like about Peter Berkrot’s performance?

    Fluctuation in voice to add dramatic effect caused volume to fade too low to hear at times. Too much attempt at dramatization.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Any book on the topic of consciousness will have a couple of useful nuggets and this book was no different. Just hard to stay interested between the literary style and narration.


    Any additional comments?

    The Power of Now may be advanced and take great concentration, but I found it much clearer and that it did a phenomenal job of explaining the topic. I recommend that book instead.

    "A straightforward solid spiritual guide"

    Listen to the narrator for yourself. I found the narration good and the reader had appropriate deference and sensitivity to the content. I did not agree with the harsh judgements regarding the narrator, it was fine for me.

    This book feels like a good distillation of the many books I have read on Buddhism, positive psychology and just good ways to live fully. I recommend this for anyone who feels blocked in life.

    "Beautiful insight -- a voice I want to hear!!"
    If you could sum up The Untethered Soul in three words, what would they be?

    lightdeeptransformative


    What other book might you compare The Untethered Soul to and why?

    This book is one of a kind!


    What about Peter Berkrot’s performance did you like?

    Berkrot's performance was enticing, insightful and kind. His voice was persuasive, endearing, and pleasant.


    What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Untethered Soul?

    One of my favorite lines was about "getting to know people, not just meet them." It changed the way I handle stress and negativity. Over time, I hope to learn how to completely reconstitute how I react in emotional situtations. dThis book gives me tools I needed to detach from stress and live fully in happiness.


    Any additional comments?

    Fantastic! Will listen again and again.

    "Inspirational and worth striving towards!"

    This spiritual book taught me to detach more and to let go, which isn't new to me, but it's presented in a different way. I love it!
    The only criticism I have is with the narrator. He tended to drop the volume of his voice on the last word of the sentence. I'd have to go back and listen again to get the one word.

    "my favorite book right now! perfect timing!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Untethered Soul to be better than the print version?

    I run my own business so actual book reading is quite a luxury and one I rarely have time for... I drive quite a bit so thats where I do my best listening to audio books... as I find driving a little boring my audio books make it a pleasure...


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    hehe I think regarding this book... um me :)


    Which character ??? as performed by Peter Berkrot ??? was your favorite?

    there were no characters but Peter Berkrot is a great narrator!


    What insight do you think you???ll apply from The Untethered Soul?

    oh gosh too many to list... and Im still listening so Im sure there will be more...


    Any additional comments?

    this was one of those perfect timing books, not sure why I even bought it... purely on the snippet and liking the narrators voice (that is really important to me)... it is an artform and not everyone can do it.

    This is one of my all time favorite audios so far... and I listen to a lot of them. A great start to 2012!

    No,but I would attend if I can.


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

    Yes and No; it was too profound that I personally have to listen to it serval times to decipher - partly I believe my English proficiency is a constriction that holding me back, but I think I'll get there pretty soon. - I can taste it!
