Publisher's summary

Here is a practical, useful, and easily understood exploration of the dynamic of choice and how the choices we make affect our everyday lives, for better or worse. Learning the relationship between the choices that we make and the experiences that we encounter is central to freeing ourselves from the illusion that we are victims of our circumstances.

The Mind of the Soul: Responsible Choice is essential for all of us who wish to take charge of our lives. Taking control means making the transformation from an individual who is constantly buffeted by the everyday realities of life, to an individual who pro-actively experiments with life to make change in a positive way. Experimenting with new perceptions instead of falling back on the same old patterns of self-definition can open up exciting and dramatically new relationships in life.

The Mind of the Soul: Responsible Choice presents in pragmatic terms one part of the process of creating authentic power: the alignment of the personality and the soul that was so brilliantly presented in The Seat of the Soul. It allows listeners to develop, step by step, the ability to break free of habitual, self-defeating patterns of thoughts and actions that hold them back and limit their pleasure and success in life, however that may be defined.

The Mind of the Soul: Responsible Choice is also a companion book to The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness, which guides the listener through the process of becoming aware of everything that he or she is feeling at each moment.

This audiobook can be absorbed as a stand-alone program, or in conjunction with The Seat of the Soul, The Heart of the Soul, or both.

Critic reviews

"The Mind of the Soul empowers the reader with freedom of choices and authenticity unparalleled by any other means....truly a groundbreaking accomplishment." (T. Byram Karasu, M.D., University Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Albert Einstein College of Medicine)

Soul is the Absolute

I love the practical exercises recommended for issues one has . Gary and Linda share inspiring issues regarding the soul and how we have the power within to enhance and chang the way we live.

There are some issues that are evident of some stereotypes and socialisation but it can be forgiven because more than anything it's the expression of their views.

I recommend the book and it is an eye opener in terms of the power within and ways on how we can face our demons to lead greater lives.

Excelente

As all their books amazing messages that put you to deep thinking on your issues

Extraordinary

Loved it ! completed it in one sitting. It was just too good to stop. I will be listening to it again. Very easy for me to understand and see how I have already applied this process to my own life. Shallow minds BEWARE.

Depends Of Your Previous Consumption

Depends on your previous consumption of similar self-help books, you might find it illuminating or same old, same old.

I had my share of reading such books by now so I wasn't entirely blown away by the message. Still, something resonated with me here more than before and it has to do with the emphasis of how every choice we make creates a certain experience and to the extent that we want this experience or that, that's how we should act.

Wish I had learned in school

I’m a yoga teacher with a wide variety of students. They vary in age and ability. All of them agree that what they learned in the yoga studio would have been beneficial had they learned it in kindergarten. I feel these same sentiments about The Mind of the Soul.

Reflective

Great exercises for journaling & becoming more aware! I would recommend this to everyone as a tool To measure your awareness of choices.

A Gift for the mind and the Soul

To be ready to receive this teaching is my prayer for all who find themselves here. This is a true and vibrant treasure for life. But most importantly it is a long awaited for roadmap. Both comprehensive and visionary.

Soul changing!!

love how deep but tangible Gary and Linda make it. I have been re-listening to all their books for years and there is always something new to learn or remind. Much Love!

Must read

I finally got around to checking this author out and I feel like I have found the exactly what I have been looking for the last few years.

In the last two weeks, I have read three of his books.
The Mind of the Soul, a very clear explanation of how we are always making choices and how that dictates our lives. For me, it also spoke to how we are evolving and how that is playing out in what is happening right now.
Then Heart of the Soul, explains emotions as messengers and step by step how to work with them.
Spiritual Partnership the journey to authentic power, it is about all human relationship and the evolution of the concept of relationships that is happening as we speak.

For me, all three books are working together to paint a picture that up till now has only been in my head. Therefore it has been hard to stay on track with this picture. But these books with there very clear explanations and step by step suggestion are really helping me to bring forth that picture.

he's awesome!!!
