3-0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Stupid, Beautiful, Ugly, Moving and Disgusting.
This is quite a book by an obviously gifted author. It is not, in my opinion, as great as the vast majority of the people who have contributed reviews here seem to think.This is the story of a town, a people, and afamily that I hope is NOT representative of the South American experience.The story is difficult to maintain a grip on because of the confusioncaused by giving the same name to multiple characters. There are over 20characters with the name Aureliano.I found depressing the way the storyseems to continually turn back on itself, the way the characters keeprepeating not only their own mistakes, but the mistakes of theirforebearers as well. Everybody and everything ultimately lived ameaningless, pointless, depraved, and stupid life. There was no one and nothing to love in this book. Everyone and everything was poisoned from thestart. Even the parts that many seem to have found humor in were usuallyrooted in tragedy or were the consequence of one characters cruelty toanother.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Lovely to listen to
I particularly enjoy listening to Estes' voice as she reads her books.It brings a color and texture to the reading that shouldn't be missed.
5-0 out of 5 stars Dreams the language of the soul.
I have long wondered what some of my dreams meant at times they are silly, frightening, and mysterious at other times profound. I had not been taught how to interpret their meaning. Dr. Estes has again deciphered the magic that lies within. Our dreams guides to where we are in soul development, she explains the method to unraveling the messages we receive nightly. I have read so many books on dreams and did not feel much enlightened at the end. So many books just give standard meaning descriptions some from so long ago they did not have the same meaning to me. In these two tapes so much is explained in a way so easy to understand that the work she did in this area is brilliant. I recommended them to anyone who desires to know thyself better. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Calm, cool and refreshingly deepening
Initially upon first trial I was only moderately satisified with the guided meditations employed in this inclusive package. With continued and regular usage, however, I've begun to experience a restful deepening that provides refreshment even when I'm unable to sleep (which is frequently). One of the CD's is actually tailored for persons with sleep disorders, and I've used it a couple of times with success, but my focus has been on stress and general wellness and so have used those CD's more frequently. Repeat listening on a regular scheduled basis really is the only way to get the most out of this material so I've had to avoid getting off track in trying to use all of them in the same period of days and weeks. Bella Naperstak's voice is calm, authoritative, and restful allowing one to let go. I think that I'd still prefer more poetic images than she tends to use but then she does perhaps allow for a greater range of imagination by not being overly detailed in her descriptive language. Overall this set is an excellent buy and a solid introduction to Bella's approach to Guided Imagery.

1-0 out of 5 stars Save your Money
Save your money. While the first few minutes of listening may be relaxing, after a while, Belleruth's voice begins to drone on and on and becomes annoying. It has not proven to be at all helpful or therapuetic.I would recommend a good book on related issues or a walk in the park with a friend instead.

5-0 out of 5 stars Relaxing and Motivating
I purchased this set after listening to Belleruth Naparstek's Meditation to Ease Grief after the death of my brother.It was well worth the investment both financially and mentally.They have gotten me through some very rough times.I also enjoy the walking meditation for those times when I need to get a break from everything and need focus on myself.I would recommend this set. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Amazing resource for raising great kids without all the power struggles.
Not sure what the other reader was talking about.I am an agnostic so I am pretty aware of that kind of thing.I was also a teacher.Not only does Love and Logic work in the classroom but it does amazing things with my kids.I have 2 toddlers and I think the Love and Logic books and videos are an indespensible resource.It seems to me that the previous reviewer was just looking for a forum to rant about something totally unrelated to these books.He also wasn't reviewing this book - I guess some people will actually mislead people to try and get their voice heard.If click on "see my other reviews" under his name you will see that he has reviewed every book in the Love and Logic series with this rhetoric that is based on complete ignorance.Charles Fay and Foster Cline (founders of Love and Logic) are from Evergreen Colorado - not Colorado Springs and have nothing to do with the whole "family first" thing.There is no affiliation whatsoever.Again, not sure what the other reviewer was talking about - but it is a shame that he may turn people away from a resource that is the most effective tool I have come across to raise children who are responsible, able to make choices effectively, have great self-esteem, and to avoid all the arguments and power struggles that come with parenting.

1-0 out of 5 stars WASTE OF MONEY
I was mislead into wasting money on Jim Fay's audio book on toddlers and I think Amazon and other
5-0 out of 5 stars If you have kids, you need this tape!
As a Love and Logic instructor, a parent and school counselor, I am familiar with many of the L&L tapes and concepts.Because of this, it is unusual to have an "ah-hah" moment such as the one I had listening to "Homework Battles."As parents and educators, our dream is to find a way for our kids to do homework for their own benefit, and hopefully take ownership for grades, missing or late assignments, and to enjoy the benefits and fun of school.In an enjoyable and nonjudgemental format, the authors point out how parents can do the exact wrong things for the right reasons, making homework and grades into an adolescent power struggle or a drudgery by forcing our value systems and expectations down our child's throat at the exact time they are rejecting our values out of hand.The authors also point out how we, as parents, do not receive report cards in regards to our parenting skills, so we take ownership of our child's performance at school as a close surrogate. Bad idea, and fundementally counter-productive.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent for teachers of writing and writers...
This is a keeper.Although I purchased it for a grad class I am taking, I will use it for my teaching and my own writing.
5-0 out of 5 stars Written very well
Zinsser has certainly mastered the art of writing well, and therefore can speak on the topic authoritatively.This book is not only written with humor, but with empathy for people who are struggling with the ability to write well.The book certainly demonstrates that this ability is not inherent, but rather it is moreso the ability to work hard, understanding that writing is a process and a very messy one at that.This work can inspire the worst among us to really try at being the very best writer that we potentially can be.

1-0 out of 5 stars Talk about verbose
I am not a fan of this book. He begins by saying Do not use complicated words when a simple one will do. Then he continues by using complicated words throughout the entire book. He proceeds by telling the reader to do everything they were told not to do: use "I" and start sentences with "but." He is the only person I have heard of that is pro "I" and I refuse to do poorly on future essays because he likes it whereas no one else does. Much of his style is completely subjective--he doesn't explain well why he likes some phrases and dislikes others. One thing I'm sure of, no matter what I'd write, he'd hate it, including this review. In my opinion, the author can be described by words he uses frequently in the book: pompous and utterly (he'd say that word is unecessary but oh, I think it is) pretentious. ... Read more

Heard and liked CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, BOOK TWO by Neale Donald Walsch . . . whereas Book One dealt with personal matters, this dialogue takes on more political and global concerns . . . Edward Asner and Ellen Burstyn served as narrators, along with Walsch, and they certainly added to my enjoyment of the cassette program.

3-0 out of 5 stars Basic & very soft approach--worth 3.45 stars
Admittedly, this is entitled "The Roots..." so it's pretty basic--mostly Theravada per Kornfield's training/master but including some Mahayana.He's very calm & soft voiced, which strangely I found annoying.It seems very "Feeler" oriented from a Myers-Briggs/Jungian perspective.There isn't much new or profound but it might be good as a starter--on the other hand his very fine book "A Path with Heart" is much better.I'd also recommend the works of Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron such as "Taming the Mind" & "Working with Anger."

2-0 out of 5 stars Emasculated Spirituality
At one point in this tape set, Kornfield warns that the path of peace isnot a path of emasculated spirituality. Unfortunately, his whining,artificial, NPR-esque voice has already alerted the listener that in hiscase, it just might be. . . I was familiar with Kornfield through his book,"A Path With Heart," which is an excellent read. I was expectingthis tape set to be similarly 'enlightening.' It is not. The tapes dealsparingly with what Kornfield terms 'Buddhist psychology'; they deal atgreat length with various New Age concerns and Kornfield's attachments tocertain residual 60's fancies. Kornfield occasionally quotes from Buddhistmasters; he more frequently quotes from his apparent heros, Nelson Mandela,Gandhi, and the author of "Children's Letters to God." Myimpression from this tape series is that Kornfield is quite hung up on hispet causes and that he is using the mantle of Buddhism to promote his ownbeliefs. For California Buddhists, this series may be IT, but for anyoneseeking the genuine article, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

5-0 out of 5 stars wonderful, wise and compassionate teacher at his best

5-0 out of 5 stars A brave and wonderful book
This book is full of courageous advice on how to use and trust what is in your heart when you write. She has great insight into the difference between writing from your "head" and writing from your "heart".I agree with her that our greatest work comes when we avoid the fears and 'intellectualizing' that limits us to our "head", and instead use what we feel most powerfully in our heart.
4-0 out of 5 stars Better titled, "if you want to do well at something creative"
I'd highly recommend this book to any people working in a creative field, particularly those who feel overwhelemed by the difference between the quality of work that they're producing and the quality of what the professionals do. Within the frame of the writing profession, the author talks about the need for passion, practice, and diligence to build competence and then expertise. She also covers how to have a good life along the way. While those coming to this book looking for Strunk & White, volume 2, will be disappointed, those looking for a quick boost of inspiration will be well served.
