Critic reviews

"Moore illuminates the possibilities of fluid, graceful responses to life's circumstances." (Publishers Weekly)

I could not get past the Peter Thomas voiceover

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I will need to listen to this again. It is likely that I have watched too much TV and heard Peter Thomas too often on NOVA and Forensic Files. His voice just kept taking me back to those programs and not into the

Would you be willing to try another book from Thomas Moore? Why or why not?

Yes

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The Narrator is truly gifted but perhaps his voice is too well known from other work.

It is a view of beauty in ordinary life.

It touches our conscious soul and helps us foster the flourishing of our own lives.

What did you learn from Care of the Soul that you would use in your daily life?

Any additional comments?

I wish it was not abridged however I did get SO much out of it.

Peter Thomas is a wonderful Narrator

I love this book to put on before I go to sleep. It’s only 3 hours so I fall asleep to his voice fairly quickly and when I have trouble sleeping I find the topic alone soothing to my soul

Short but sweet

I have no doubt this will be one I come back to again and again. The ideas are presented in a way that is easy to understand but there is plenty of room for artful interpretation.

The narrator was excellent. I felt like it was the author himself relaying the ideas

Supurb. Sublime. Supreme.

Supurb writing. Sublime narration. Supreme listening. I suggest you listen again. And again. And again. You will learn something new each time. ♡

Soulfulness Cut Short

Soul work is hard work because it often goes neglected. We are spiritual beings as much as we are physical beings and Moore challenges us to care for the whole of our being by not neglecting the soul, the very seat of who we are internally. I enjoyed the narrator but was disappointed that the audio version of Moore's book is not the complete book. There are some important parts and chapters of his book that are simply omitted. I would have never purchased the audiobook if this was made clear in the ad, but if you have never read his book, you will be deeply satisfied by the audio version. It's more than enough to focus you on caring for your own soul. Listen and enjoy.

Anything by Thomas Moore

I can not think of any writer that speaks to me more than Thomas Moore. Thomas Moore is a must for the spiritual journey.

Excellent Read

I now understand Carl Jung a lot better than I did before. A very good read. Thank you Dr. Moore.

beautiful wisdom

A perspective rich and full of contemplation, this book points to the sacredness of simplicity while teching us gently how to love each other and ourselves more fully. It came at a good time in my life, and I'd wish that for anyone who finds it. Moore presents a literate and psychologically developed thesis. I do wish though, above all, that there was an unabridged version. The abridged oversimplifies some parts which are so much betterin their original completeness. I picked up the text recently and am finding so much more in the depths of the print version. The audio on this was easy to listen to, engaging nad never got annoying or patronizing.

This was Wonderful.

The concepts were easy to follow. I had many Aha moments and will listen again and again.
