Fulfilled

How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life

De: Anna Yusim, Eben Alexander - introduction MD MD

Narrado por: Anna Yusim

Are you living the life you thought you always wanted but feel that something is still missing? Do you think you should be happier than you are, considering all that you have? Have you achieved your professional or personal goals but still feel racked with insecurities, anxiety, or depression . . . and can't figure out why?

Psychiatrist Anna Yusim knows just how you feel. Not only has she struggled with these feelings herself, but she has also worked with patients upon patients who have expressed the same bewildering concern: they have everything they've always wanted, and yet deep down they don't feel fulfilled.

Determined to help herself and her patients, Dr. Yusim spent more than fifteen years studying and conducting research and came to a startling conclusion: this lingering feeling of dissatisfaction coincides with spiritual neglect. Once she helped her patients address their spiritual and psychological needs, she saw radical improvements in their happiness levels and quality of life.

Now science is catching up with her innovative approach to therapy as groundbreaking medical research and studies substantiate what Dr. Yusim and many others have suspected for years: spirituality is a powerful path to healing. Drawing from the best in Western medicine, as well as teachings from Kabbalah, Buddhism, and shamanistic traditions, Dr. Yusim has developed a program that marries empirical science and spirituality to help you:

Discover your life's true purpose
Eliminate self-defeating patterns and roadblocks that are keeping you from living your most authentic life
Understand the scientific underpinnings behind "answered prayers" and "random coincidences"-and why having faith in them can change your outlook for the better
Appreciate how consciousness shapes your reality and how to harness this understanding to live a life of abundance.

Filled with exercises, guided meditations, fascinating scientific research, and inspiring success stories, Fulfilled integrates the best of Western medicine with universal spiritual principles to help you find more meaning, more joy, and more fulfillment in your life.

awesome

love the exercises throughout. wish I had them in handout form though. this one is good enough that I might buy in hardcover just to have it.

Great stories and exercises

There are so many interesting anecdotal stories and practical exercises to help you tap into your inner knowledge. One of my favorite quotes from the author is:

“Raise your inner consciousness so that we can raise the collective consciousness.”

I believe that’s what we are here to do at this time.

Beautiful written and read by the Author, Anna Yusim

Keep a notebook handy!

Tons of insight and inspiration! I will listen to this one over and over. Keep a journal or notebook handy, as you will want to jot down notes as you receive inspirations and later practice!

Great book!

I liked the audiobook so much I bought kindle version as well. I really enjoyed the stories, narration by the author and her view on spirituality through science. I only wish the audio version would come with a PDF with exercises.

incredible insights. be open to everything.

Brilliant researcher. Thank you Anna, for this tangible offering of the vast intangible guidance available to us all. Enjoyed author reading own work, good cadence.

Inspiring, deeply moving exploration of multiple layers of the human experience.

Dr Yusim has done a powerful job of weaving together the knowledge from diverse spiritual, psychological, and scientific traditions into a cohesive and imminently accessible read. Introducing concepts like the circular nature of time, Dr Yusim bravely explores questions that many more “traditional” psychiatrists relegate to magical thinking, and does it in a way that is grounded in science.
The exercises in each chapter provide a wonderful guide to taking ones own personal growth to the next level, making a life of fulfillment and equanimity seem very possible.

The mispronunciation of words was distracting.

The narrator mispronounced “shaman” as “shay-man” and “vice versa” as “vi-sah versa” and I had a difficult time moving past it.

Fewer case studies and more explanation of those case studies would have been more effective.

The premises of each chapter were interesting though.
