Life changing

Self-love is the foundation, without it... nothing can stand. Blake puts it into words, reinforcing this truth. Thank you Blake. You help save me.

Awful

By chapter 3 it was clear this was not worth further investment of time and effort. By chapter 5 I’d had enough of Bauer stringing out the same simple message with contrived pseudospiritual verbal diarrhea. Save you money and listen to Ram Das, Tolle, or any number of more credible options

Any additional comments?

Truly dreadful. Not a shred of science just a lot of nonsense. Don't waste you time or Money

Practical handbook for those feeling unsure

Full of practical explanation, suggestions and exercises to help us return to who we truly are, to the person we feel sure we could be, but aren't, yet. .

We can all gain from the questions alone

Blake D Bauer has searched and found what it is to be a complete human being and in that much of what he shares is helpful whether you are really suffering or maybe just lightly living in fear. I will be keeping this book and listening to it again and again until I can feel true inside myself. Thank you Blake

Interesting take on things

I found this book really interesting to listen to. Quite different in terms of the material covered when compared with other "help" books. I am thinking of ordering the physical book as there are exercises at the end of most chapters which I would like to do, without having to listen and pause for each question. I think the Audible book should have these questions as a file we can download. I think this is the type of book that I will need to listen to more than once.

Just amazing

I cannot express how amazing this audio book is. Everyone should read this. Just fantastic

Great insight, so true

Great book. Easy to listen to and very insightful. it's so true what's said in the book, and so simple!

Just brilliant

For me - life changing. Everything you need to hear in one book. Perfect in audio. Thank you!

Good book but not for me

I could see this working for many people, but it didn't communicate as much to me.

Thought Provoking

Although I don't necessarily agree with everything in this book, there is a lot of truth here and I can see how this book will help a lot of people to feel better about themselves and lead happier and more fulfilled lives.

Disappointingly simplistic

Very disappointed in this. Found it very simplistic and superficial with very little of practical help. Just a formulaic American self help book: begin a chapter with a quote, spend several pages stating the obvious, then close with some affirmations. 95% of anything practical in this are the large number of affirmations however I personally have never found affirmations to be of any help other than in the very short term.
