I couldn’t finish this. I listened to it for about two hours. The author is writing as though he just discovered awareness for the first time and it’s a brand new idea. He just goes on and on about how he’s a person who has awareness of his thoughts. Not helpful.

Mixed bag. Not about Integrity in the traditional.

Some of this landed for me, some of it missed the mark. I share some of the values of the author, but her mysticism and her endorsement of dropping a good job if it’s not your passion lost me. Listeners should read up on the author externally , decide for yourself if what you learn affects her credibility for you.

I wanted to like the story. The backstory and plot line were promising, but it’s turns out they are just the infrastructure to support a pathetic, gushing romance.

The narration was excellent. The author wrapped up the story pretty well. For me, this book was imbalanced; way too many losses for the good guys, and too few wins. I also feel that the explanations were too slow in coming.

I got sucked in and couldn’t stop listening. I think some of the math/science detail is unnecessary and detracts from the story, but I still enjoyed it very much. Narration was some of the best I’ve ever heard.

The premise of the story really appealed to me. The writing, however, seemed juvenile and very YA. The narrator was unable to read men’s voices: they all sound like dying old geezers. I couldn’t finish the book.

I enjoyed the story enough to finish it. Had to speed it up quite a bit because it was as so slow for the first half. For me it read like a YA book with adult language sprinkled in. Literally like a children’s book made a little darker and a lot longer. Great narration.

Pema Chodron is a great author and teacher. Unfortunately everything I’ve read of hers involves working with the mild neurotic anxieties of a privileged person with few serious problems. If your biggest problems are also craving a dessert or envying your neighbors meditation cushion, you might really benefit from her work. If you have a serious medical problem or are facing poverty, or have another very serious problem in life, you might not be able to relate to Pema’s work

Narration was very good. Story is fine. The book reads like YA fiction; lacking complexity and depth.

A book on spirituality that is rich and full of meaningful teachings. Both of these spiritual leaders are humble, loving, gifted teachers. In this book they share their most heartfelt beliefs about how to live a good life and how to find joy through compassion.
