Awakening the Goddess Within

De: Deepak Chopra M.D., Agapi Stassinopoulos

Narrado por: Deepak Chopra M.D., Agapi Stassinopoulos

Born and raised in Athens, Greece, Agapi Stassinopoulos grew up surrounded by the stories and statues of ancient gods and goddesses. But it wasn't until she went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and started performing in plays that she discovered the goddesses in a personal, everyday way. In this enlightening presentation hosted by Dr. Deepak Chopra, Stassinopoulos describes how her early theater experience led to a mission of "bringing the goddesses down from Mt. Olympus" to enrich the lives of modern women. Through a series of original poems, dramatic readings, and awe-inspiring monologues from plays, movies, and her most recent book, Conversations with the Goddesses, she introduces a series of characters (such as Joan of Arc and Athena) who embody the archetypal personalities of the classic goddesses. Stassinopoulos and Chopra agree that, like these literary characters, each and every one of us carries the goddesses within ourselves. . . .

Connecting to the Goddess Within

Would you consider the audio edition of Awakening the Goddess Within to be better than the print version?

At first this audio was a little rough, this is a live lecture, it is understandable though especially with headphones. I have not read Stassinopoulos's book of the same topic, I actually think this presentation fit the bill perfectly.

What other book might you compare Awakening the Goddess Within to and why?

Like 2 other lectures I have listened to from Depak, his guest speakers are engaging and on point.

Any additional comments?

Enjoyed very much. If you are at all interested in hearing about Mythology, this lecture puts the Goddesses in the real world and explains how there is a little of each one of them in all of us.

Loved it!

I listened to this book twice and enjoyed every moment.

Enjoyed this very much

I'm glad I read the reviews that warned me that this is not the work of Deepak Chopra, as it was listed in Audible to be. Chopra introduces Agapi Stassinopoulos as a speaker who gives her dramatic interpretations of specific Greek goddesses and empowered women. She explores feminism in Greek mythology with humor, insight, and optimism. It was something "different" to listen to. It's a short listen, about 1.5 hrs I think.

Not what I expected...this was awesome!

Would you consider the audio edition of Awakening the Goddess Within to be better than the print version?

I doubt there would be a print version for this conversation

What other book might you compare Awakening the Goddess Within to and why?

Nothing.

What about Deepak Chopra and Agapi Stassinopoulos ’s performance did you like?

The humour - I laugh out loud ever time. I have listened to this recording at least 10 times over the last week, morning and night. Her explanations, storytelling and sense of humour are addictive and thoroughly delightful. I feel empowered after listening to her, and I don't even know why. Her passion, ownership and thorough immersion throughout the recording has become my pre-work 'juice' and my end of day laugh.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

...a homage to my hips...

Any additional comments?

Thank you Agapi. I hope to one day be in the room when you present material such as this again, it would be a great thing to experience your presence in person.
Warm regards, Aria-Jayde Salt.

Absolutely Beautiful

If you could sum up Awakening the Goddess Within in three words, what would they be?

Uplifting!
Informative!
Fun!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Artemis. She is my hero.

Which character – as performed by Deepak Chopra and Agapi Stassinopoulos – was your favorite?

I loved them all but as I said before Artemis kicks ass.

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

Agapi is an amazing presenter. She made be smile and laugh and yes tears stood in my eyes a couple of times.

Any additional comments?

Read it and read it again. Loved it.
