Story5 out of 5 stars 62
Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and slept in your house for hours on end and gave birth to leverets in your study. For political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton, who spent lockdown deep in the English countryside, far away from her usual busy London life, this became her unexpected reality.

I wad there with Chloe caring for the hare the entire time.
I live in the desert in Las Vegas and I have one little wild rescue right now in one of my bedrooms. There is nothing like caring for one of these beautiful creatures! All the thoughts racing through her mind are my daily ones as well. To rescue or not to rescue? To intervene or not? What are the consequence in either scenario? Would they be in this situation if man and developments would not have brought us here? It's neverending and, oh, so relatable!
And the way she leaves us wanting to make the entire planet a safer and better place for these animals is astonishing.
Thank you, Chloe for shining the light on life itself through this beautiful story!

Story5 out of 5 stars 153
Dessert with Buddha takes the eccentric, sort-of-Buddhist monk, Volya Rinpoche, and his skeptical, middle-of-the-road brother-in-law, Otto Ringling, on another enlightening road trip filled with meals, humor, social commentary, and good times. On this journey, the couple that traveled from New York to North Dakota in Breakfast with Buddha, Seattle to North Dakota in Lunch with Buddha, and North Dakota to Las Vegas in Dinner with Buddha heads down the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to points south.

Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier - maybe even a lot happier. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it. Breaking through resistance, Kelly tells us, is essential to becoming the person that God created us to be. What is resistance? It's that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you.

Very Catholic oriented
Reviewed: 11-17-18
Started well and a few really good ideas in the beginning, but then it’s the “importance of mass” over and over again... very religious/Catholic Church ideas and thoughts. Just not for me...

Love IS powerful

Great book - WAAAY over produced
Reviewed: 01-10-18
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I love this book, the ideas in it are simple yet, extremely powerful. I am somehow reluctant though to even recommend it to people (I'd actually buy a hard copy to give them instead) because it's soooo cheesy and over produced. It's not Star Wars - it's a book. All the over dramatic music and sound effects are just beyond silly. That being said, it really is great content when they just let it be content. Well worth buying and listening to if you can get past all this. Otherwise, buy a Kindle/paperback version.
How could the performance have been better?
Content is good - way over-produced. Just read the thing and forget the symphony. If people want theater, they'll go to the theater. A good read is all that's necessary for a good book.
