Story4.5 out of 5 stars 100
Through this book, you will gain an understanding of the dynamic forces that shape personalities and socialize people into the larger culture within which we live. With a modern take, you’ll not only learn about how traditional institutions such as the family and schools shape society but also come away informed about how mass media, including social media networks like Facebook and YouTube, are socializing our children and providing new means of interpersonal mass communication never seen before.

A lot of unnecessary fiction, and hard to understand at times!
Reviewed: 12-19-20
I listened to it all the way even though it was hard at times to keep listening to unnecessary fiction the author has added. The book would have been much better if it was read by someone who is easier to understand. The story was mainly about the Buddha’s childhood and before he became a Buddha which was not what I expected... it would have been better to name it Siddhārtha Gautama, and not Buddha!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 385
This is the classic introduction to Vipassana meditation: a full-length study of the teaching of S. N. Goenka, prepared under his guidance and with his approval. Useful for meditators and non-meditators alike. This was the first book to appear in English that accurately describes the practice of Vipassana at length for the general reader. It includes stories by Goenkaji as well as answers to students’ questions that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.

One of the greatest Dharma book I have every listened to!
Reviewed: 12-08-20
This book is a pure gem. Satipatthana is explained in a way that any layperson can have a full understanding of. I usually have to listen to Dharma books a few times to have as much as understanding as I listened to this book just once! Now that wont stop me from listening to it again, but it just shows the level of the understanding the author had.

I hate being bipolar! It feels good! Are you always feeling happy and then sad the next second? Unsure of your current state of emotions? Having issues with focus concentration? Want a change in your life? The real problem is not what is happening on the outside but it is on the inside. You do not have control over your mind even though you think otherwise. 99.99 percent of our decisions are made based on emotions without even realizing it. Why not...Discover our holistic therapy?

Reviewed: 12-07-20
This my first time leaving a 2 star review. In fact I only leave reviews for good books but this book was just awful! Aside from it being very basic, there are contradictions such as dont drink coffee, and then towards the end you will hear that taking “Ghahveh” is one of the recommended natural ways of healing... which Ghahveh translated into english means coffee.

What Hinduism needed, amidst the general disintegration of the modern era, was a rock where she could lie at anchor, an authoritative utterance in which she might recognize her self. And this was given to her in the words and writings of the Swami Vivekananda.

As a Buddhist I am in love with Swami Vivekananda’s teachings. His teachings are pure and easy to follow. Dont let the few reviews discourage you, not many look for teachings as deep as this great master’s.

Music is an integral part of humanity. Every culture has music, from the largest society to the smallest tribe. Its marvelous range of melodies, themes, and rhythms taps in to something universal. Babies are soothed by it. Young adults dance for hours to it. Older adults can relive their youth with the vivid memories it evokes. Music is part of our most important rituals, and it has been the medium of some of our greatest works of art.
