De: Shinzen Young Ph.D.

Narrado por: Shinzen Young

Widely respected meditation expert Shinzen Young presents proven strategies for pain-free living, drawing on over 20 years of field research and a lifetime of experience. Dr. Young teaches us how to "retrain" our relationship with pain by using traditional meditation techniques. He adapts the core principles of mindfulness training to a practical process that treats even the most chronic and extreme pain, possibly reducing the need for drugs or surgery. Young explains that by opening ourselves to pain, we can stop resisting it, and then "step outside" physical suffering. This groundbreaking yet easy to understand step-by-step guide includes 4 complete meditation exercises which, if practiced regularly, will tap your mind's power to overcome physical pain.(P)1996 PhotoDisc, Inc.; 16 9; 1995 by Shinzen Young

Lacks Substance

The author sounds as if he is in pain himself. The metre and flow of this book is poor at best, amateurish at worst. ALthough the author may believe himself knowledgable on the subject he is quite hard to listen to.

This book has more pauses than the Nixon Watergate tapes and reads like the material is unprepared. The reader does not clearly define who he is speaking to, and the lack of specificity makes the material appear to be more of a monotone if..then statement in an endless loop. It takes over 90 minutes to get to the first 'excercise' that essentially blames the person with pain for the pain and suggests a mind-over-matter approach that is sold by volume, not weight. Too much air, too much pause, not enough charismata to have been a good addition to my library of 3000 some titles.

There are other authors that are easier to listen to that have a more dynamic listening experience than this one.

Terrible Audio

I am in chronic pain and I hoped I would be able to get something out of this book. The bottom line is the book is horribly read, just terrible. Long pauses and a monotonous voice made me turn this off. The paperback version may be better, but the audiobook is not worth it.
