Leap of Perception

The Transforming Power of Your Attention

By: Penney Peirce

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

As our holistic view of the world grows and we become more aware of personal and collective energy, our level of perception is transforming from something singular - the physical form - to a greatly expanded awareness that includes intuition, past and present, right and left brain, and heart and body. As our perceptive ability evolves, we must unlearn and relearn the principles of how we live, create, and grow in order to be successful in the rapidly transforming reality of the Intuition Age.

Written with clarity and insight, Leap of Perception offers a comprehensive guide on how to adapt to an expanding paradigm of perception. Building on her first two books, The Intuitive Way and Frequency, author Penney Peirce once again translates a powerful and complex concept into an effective life practice that is accessible to all.

Listeners will learn to materialize the situations they want, resolve conflict in relationships, expand their creativity, reduce exhaustion and anxiety from multitasking, ease fear caused by the transformation process, develop new attention skills, and more. Leap of Perception is an amazing gift.

Narrator is terrible for this book...

Narrator is terrible for this book...Probably fine for a story, but VERY distracting for a more science-like, detailed book such as this. Her cutesy use of pauses and attempts at intimacy are off putting. I'm usually very forgiving of narrators, but I find myself either drifting off and not caring about the text or wanting to strangle the narrator. Stop being cute and read the damn book!

Great Material (I assume), Terrible Narration

Would you consider the audio edition of Leap of Perception to be better than the print version?

No; I dearly wish I had purchased the print version. I don't wish to be unkind, but I'd really like to encourage some of these female narrators to tone down the cutesy factor.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

How could the performance have been better?

I agree with Steve from Kentucky--the 'cutesy' narration is so distracting and annoying that I can't even pay attention to what is being said. I've seen numerous interviews with the author, so I know the material SHOULD be good, but I may not find out for sure unless I get the print book.

What did you learn from Leap of Perception that you would use in your daily life?

Don't know yet

Any additional comments?

This is the third audio book I've purchased that, due to the narrator, I find nearly impossible to listen to. It makes me wonder whether authors screen narrators; if they have actually chosen these narrators, it makes me question my (formerly high) opinion of the author.

Powerful

What other book might you compare Leap of Perception to and why?

Frequency

Any additional comments?

This isnt for everyone but for those that know that you have the power to create the world around you this is for you.

Ebook novice

Where does Leap of Perception rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Well tbh this is my first ebook, although I have overheard some of my husband's. This is unlistenable for me because it sound like a computer talking, not a person. One should be warned of this.

What other book might you compare Leap of Perception to and why?

I loved Frequency.

What didn’t you like about Tanya Eby’s performance?

Just terrible. I cannot believe this is not a computer.

Any additional comments?

Waste of money.

Reader off-putting

While I am interested in the content, I found Listening to this particular reader intolerable. If I could return it and get the book version I would as I believe I’d enjoy Leap of Perception.

narrator difficult to listen to

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

not the audio version--maybe the book.Narrator is hard to listen to

Would you be willing to try another book from Penney Peirce? Why or why not?

not an audio book byth same author. Sorry.Her book- yes!

Would you be willing to try another one of Tanya Eby’s performances?

I would be willing to try her in another book

Any additional comments?

Wrong -- completely wrong narrator for this book.

Great information, yet narration detracts from it.

Where does Leap of Perception rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Leap of Perception is in my "read in print" bucket. The information was hard to glean because of the odd narration.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator placed emphasis where it didn't belong, sounding super excited much of the time rather than emphasizing the important part of each sentence.

Great Book

This is book is eye opening and thought provoking. I hope that the author writes another book.

Two + hours in and still no substance - I give up

Let me say first that the narrator, Tanya Eby, is superb. I could listen to her all day long. Her voice is smooth and her inflections give the content a lively quality.

But even Eby's exquisite narration couldn't breathe life into this material. It's possible that Peirce may finally get into some meat after chapter 6 (where I gave up), but life is too short to give this book any more of my time.

The material offers wise- or scientific-sounding concepts without any real wisdom or scientific footing. And in many cases, she even gets the science wrong. Maybe I should just suspend disbelief and, for example, just accept the notion of "higher frequencies" as a metaphor for more perfect, more enlightened vibrations, or as a more energetic and less material state of being. Sadly, even that won't help.

The overall content is just empty fluff ... at least the first six chapters. In some cases, she seems to be describing the state one can inhabit, or incidents that grew out of finding this higher-frequency state, without her having actually discussed how to achieve this state. Now, I can understand giving the audience a brief preview of the results that can be achieved by implementing a certain technique, but not two hours (and counting) of it.

And really, I might still be hanging in there with her even now if the material so far consisted of interesting anecdotes about results. It's the empty profundities I've had enough of.

If you're really interested in manifesting your best reality, I'd recommend "The Last Law of Attraction Book You'll Ever Need to Read," by Andrew Kap. Or "E-Squared (10th Anniversary Edition)" by Pam Grout.

Wonderful but for narrator

This is a powerful and clear book. I highly recommend it. Unfortunately the narrator is almost unlistenable. She purrs and shows off her skills as an actor and it is a total mismatch from this very important content. She would be fine for a different type of story but in this case I wish she had chosen to sit back and let the content be the focus. Now it is her reading that is the focus. She sounds nothing like the writer behind the book. I listen to it at a slower speed setting which helps a bit. Unfortunately I need audio version. But the content is fantastic. Clear and important. Hopefully a later release comes out with the author reading herself.
