De: Lisa Oz, Mehmet Oz - introduction

Narrado por: Lisa Oz

"The key to real and lasting change lies somewhere between what you know and what you do. It’s what you think." —Lisa Oz

Being social creatures, we yearn for connection but often fall into bad habits that interfere with our ability to have rewarding relationships. We begin to see ourselves as alone, isolated, or at odds with the rest of the universe. How can we learn to live in relationship in a more enlightened way?

In US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships That Matter Most, Lisa Oz, the bestselling coauthor of the YOU: The Owner’s Manual series, takes readers on a transformational journey as she explores the three relationships that matter most: with the self, with others, and with the Divine. Interrelated and inseparable, these fundamental relationships determine the quality and the measure of our emotional and spiritual lives.

Drawing from ancient traditions, spiritual and holistic thinkers, and personal insights, Lisa Oz guides you on an engaging, thought-provoking, and ultimately inspirational path toward changing your self, your relationships, and your life. With remarkable candor and humor, Lisa offers personal anecdotes that highlight the truth and consequences of familiar interactions. She also includes imaginative exercises meant to help you gain new insight into old behavior patterns and to encourage you to be an active, empowered agent for positive change in your relationships.

Lisa’s writing on topics such as personal well-being, identifying your authentic self, conscious parenting, marital bonding, and truly compassionate living are persuasive because they are suggestive rather than prescriptive. By holding a mirror to her relationships, Lisa hopes to inspire you to reflect on your own, observing that we are all works in progress, living in relationship together.

Informative and transformative, US offers an enriched and fulfilling vision of friendship, marriage, family, and spiritual progress. In these pages, the evolution of YOU blossoms into the community of US.

Right on Taget

I enjoyed every minute of this book! Lisa explains how we can go about the business of strengthening the relationships that are the foundation to a fulfilling life. I found the book both informative and entertaining.

This is Exceptionally Well Done!!!!!

I have listened to and read many different kinds of books on the development of the self... This audio/book is by far my FAVORITE and I will listen over and over again until all of what Lisa speaks about becomes 2nd nature... I have never found one book to speak so well about how we as individuals interact with the world around us and how we through our thoughts and interactions can change our lives AND so completely!! 5 STARS!!!! Thank You Lisa!! I wish I knew her (Lisa Oz) as she has such a funny truthful humor!!

I had wanted to love this book

I not sure of the full message that Lisa is trying to give, she comes from an educated and privileged background that most people only dream about, I enjoyed a lot of what she had to say however-most people in the US cannot afford to go outside of mainstream medical health never mind go from doctor to doctor to evenually end up at a naturopathic doctor.Most of us could find the time to do some of the suggested tasks if we did not work 50+ hours a week and clean our own homes.
Most 19 years that are enaging in risky behavior and steal cars end up in jail not give training by a surgeon and a salary of over $100,000.00 to stop. Lisa background enables her to have full connections to A listers and the top medical doctors.
I do applause Lisa and her husband for their work in understanding medical diseases and prevention.
The book is great if you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

Lisa Oz for President!

If you could sum up US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter Most in three words, what would they be?

What did you like best about this story?

There is so much relevant life guidance in this book that I will need to listen to it many times.

What does Lisa Oz bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Lisa orates her book wonderfully. Only an author can bring such feeling to there works.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Lisa's Enneagram references were very enlightening. She has peaked my curiosity on the subject and I fully intend to research it further.

Any additional comments?

Lisa's candor and wit are very refreshing. If they would allow write in Presidential candidates, She would get my vote.

Tells it like it is.

Lisa tells it like it is, which may not be the way we may like to hear it but..... She has a gentle and yet convincing way to try it even if you at first would be saying to yourself "no way, she's crazy" But I have learn and re-learned many things from her. And she has given me more confidence to explore my relationships.

Awesome! Very inspirational. I am looking at life through a whole new lens. Her voice is calming and she shares stories about herself, mistakes she's made, how she's gone about changing her views, etc... Hearing this helps me realize that we ARE all the same, we come from the same place and none of us are perfect. We all have insecurities and if you'd like to open yourself up to having more intimacy in your life, I definitely recommend this book. She challenges us to take that next step and move through the fear in order to have a better quality of life. She uses analogies that help to visualize certain relationships or situations. She speaks about God and allows us to determine who it is for us (Universe, higher power, etc.) She talks about non-traditional medications and alternative ways to help yourself feel your best. She also talks about sex and whether you're comfortable with it or not, how to make it a part of everyday life with your partner. She talks about relationships with family too. This is an all encompassing book on relationships. Great, great, great!

Fun and Insightful

If you could sum up US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter Most in three words, what would they be?

Time well spent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! Lisa's voice is friendly and pleasant and she's included just the right balance of humor, drama, insight, and advice. I also purchased a hard copy of the book so I could go through the exercises at my own pace, while continuing listening to the book. She recommends you do only the ones that appeal to you, but they're all interesting.

Any additional comments?

I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for deeper insight into relationships, including the one we have with ourselves.
