The Power of Kindness is a stirring examination of a simple but profound concept. Piero Ferrucci, one of the world's most respected transpersonal psychologists, explores the many surprising facets of kindness and argues that it is this trait that will not only lead to our own individual happiness and the happiness of those around us, but will guide us in a world that has become cold, anxious, difficult, and frightening.

"Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering," says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork - all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach's 20 years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.

He’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming.... This monster, though, is something different. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

On Getting Unstuck, Pema Chodron introduces a rare Tibetan teaching she received from her teacher, Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche, and one that has become critical to her practice. Here, she unveils the mystery of an ineffable quality; a "pre-emotional" feeling that arises in us, brings us discomfort, and causes us to react by escaping the discomfort, often with harmful habits. With Getting Unstuck, she offers us a first look at "both the itch and the scratch": what Tibetan Buddhists call shenpa.

The other side of Jesus
- By Laura on 05-19-06
Publisher's Summary
The best-selling psychotherapist and author of The Power of Kindness offers a concrete program for developing the will - a faculty we greatly need to face life’s hurdles and to embark on our most meaningful projects All of us experience periods of gloom, fear, and uncertainty. But we each possess deep reserves of inner strength and wisdom for dealing with such setbacks. Indeed, it is the very arrival of darkened circumstances that can summon our untapped energies. In Your Inner Will, therapist and philosopher Piero Ferrucci explores how to play on the iron chords of our interior selves. In this stirring and deeply practical work, Ferrucci provides a full program for the cultivation of the will by employing insights from classical mythology and wisdom teachings, neuroscience research, case studies, and psychological exercises. Chapters include: "Mastery", "Autonomy", "Freedom", "Courage", "Integrity", and "Resilience". Ferrucci describes the pitfalls we face when our inner strength is lacking, and shows us what we can expect when it is healthfully developed. An effective will can guide us in our search for inner freedom; it helps us to take risks and to renew ourselves; it makes us feel strong and confident. Your Inner Will is an immensely practical study that helps listeners navigate crises and pursue more purposeful lives.

Disappointing...
What would have made Your Inner Will better?
Better organization. Ferrucci's random, almost stream-of-consciousness musings were presented in a haphazard way, lacking logical progression or a strong central theme or premise. He leans quite heavily on mythology and legend rather than his far more interesting clinical experiences and breadth of knowledge, which is a shame.
What was most disappointing about Piero Ferrucci’s story?
There didn't seem to BE a story or message of any discernible import...
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator seemed to be making the best of an abysmal situation, so I can't fault him.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Extreme disappointment. I listened from beginning to end and came away with nothing new.
Any additional comments?
I'd heard the book promoted on NPR so thought I'd give it a listen. I'm sorry I did.

In our fast-paced, often impersonal world it's easy to lose track of how much power we each have to craft a happier life. This optimistic view is very helpful and I will listen again. Thank you, Piero; I will buy your other audible offering as well!
