Life Changing

I have been on the self-help track for over 40 years looking into many types and modalities of healing.
I have been relatively successful dealing with life and my own issues. This book is helping me deepen in my experience and meet what’s left.

This book has opened up space and possibilities that I was unaware of before listening to it.
This book illuminated some of my childhood conditioning in many unique ways. I found it to be confronting and challenging (in the good way), especially the parts about responsibility/victimhood and this author’s unique addition to understanding narcism. There were, of course, other useful items, but those two were the most impactful for me.

I really worked for me that the author provided some movement exercises at the end of the book to put the theory into a practical application. I am grateful the author provided downloads of audio tracks and a pdf of the reflective questions to help me successfully completing these movement exercises.

I received a lot of information and have had some upgrades in my life after the first listen. I am currently enjoying going through my second round of listening to this book and seeing new things.

A Concise Synthesis of Wisdom to Get Unstuck

Clear, concise gathering and revelation of the world’s wisdom in one place that is effective to guide one in getting unstuck from their story. The movement and body is included, which is what’s missing from so many other guides out there. A great meld of mind and body.

Awakening book!!!!

This book is very different from many other books on self/ spiritual help I have read. I have been reading many books that tell you that you need to focus on this or that and to get perfect more spiritual, eat better, do not eat meat , be a vegetarian etc. This book Awakening to Your true self tells you that you need to be yourself. Do not try to be something you are not. First, you need to feel it inside you and then act accordingly. Otherwise sooner o later your true self will show off. We need to be very aware of your body language because the body tells what is inside, as the Egyptian/Greek god said hundreds of years ago: “As is above so is below, as it is inside so is outside.” Many times we wait or hold our plans or goals until something in our lives get fixed, and that would never happen. We will always have problems in our life because that is what life is. You cannot always be happy. A happy person will need to use so much energy to be on that state all the time. The nervous system would be too excited and overwhelmed. There needs to be a balance in our emotions, and we need to utilize them when is proper and needed. That is to be human. There is not such a thing that we will be happy until something good happens to us. We create our life, we are the architects of our destiny by making decisions. Decisions are the ones that takes us through our journey in life. They are the ones that help us to grow and mature. They are the ones that help us to understand our true self, our true nature. Therefore, if we do not make decisions because we need to wait until we feel more knowledgeable, more spiritual, more perfect, until our child grows or goes to the university, etc, will never grow or know ourselves. We will still stuck forever.
In my case, it has helped me to understand myself better. It has helped me to see my life from a different angle. I have been postponing things for so many years. I have always used excuses that I thought were true and reasonable, and I believed them. I have been living in a false realty. Life is too short to be waiting for perfection. I cannot stop because I am afraid to do things. I have now the courage to take my journey and pursue my goal. Does my journey take me exactly to that goal? I do not know, but I am sure that it will take me to other ones that will make thrill . I bought the audible book but I will definitely buy the paper one to read it and reread so I can process, absorb, comprehend, integrate, retain the information because there are many pearls of wisdom in that book!
Buy the book, read it and read it again it. If you like self-help books, this one should be on your list. It will help you tremendously! My best wishes to all of you that read my review. I wish you can follow yours, we probably meet in the way. Many blessings!!!🥰

Great techniques

There are profound nuggets of truths and perspectives on this book.

If you are feeling like you're working hard & getting nowhere, I highly recommend you read this book, do the exercises, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Among the many things I took from this, the most profound for me was the concept of creating a problem to fit the solution. I don't say this nearly as well as the author, so read this book for a much better explanation.

An example: If you think you need more friends in your life (the solution), you create the personality fault in your mind for why you don't have more friends (the problem). Then, expend untold effort to 'fix' your created fault. All the while, moving away from your authentic self & alienating the friends you do have.

Read the book... he says it much better than I can and offers steps to help internalize the concepts.

An unexpected gem of enlightenment

I was concerned getting this book because of the negative review here, but then looked at the Amazon book page reviews with over 100 5-stars and figured it was just not a good fit. I’m glad I didn’t let it detour me.

Wow what a journey this book has been! I’m glad I took the chance, this book has touched me and changed the way I see the world is so many ways. It is quite a long book at over 13 hours, but there is so much depth and nuggets every few minutes. I’m in my 4th listen and I’m still learning new things and the concepts build and reveal more. People have noticed a difference in me just from after reading this… I see why I was always so stuck and have been making new choices that have led to many breakthroughs. Worth every cent.

Definitely NOT for miserable despairing people who won’t do the work. Exactly the opposite. This is for folks who are ready to face the truth and wake up and have already done a lot to better themselves and the world. Inspiring and for anyone ready to dive into their shadow and do real healing work!!

Good info. Worth several reads

This was a good book for self exploration and learning. It definitely requires several reads to glean all the material but definitely worth it.

not for everyone

not a book for me. This is for people who are probably depressed, unhappy, in a dark place who are looking to get unstuck. I thought this could help me find ways to grow, to think outside the box, perhaps I'm missing something in life that is not allowing me to succeed the way I want to. This book are for people who want change but don't want to do the work and make a bunch of excuses so they stay stuck.

Editor please

Some great info but holy moly I have never read a book so in need of an editor. At least a third of the flowery exposition could be cut from this. Hours in and you'll still feel like you're in the prologue. The writer has an irritating fascination with repeated phrases, as if repetition equals insight. And endless metaphor. Perhaps there is insecurity in the validity of the point that requires dressing it up? Or at least a sense of inflated self importance.

Repetetive and Lacking Substance

It didn't have enough substance to hold my attention. In contrast to its claims it did not offer anything really new or worthwhile
