The reader was a perfect grandmothery voice, comforting and challenging. I got this book because I saw the companion video on Prime... Sensitive: the Untold Story. I had to find the book by Elaine Aron. I also downloaded the Kindle book, and ordered the print hardcover.
So heart opening, and explained the answers to questions I was finally asking about myself. I also got my degree in psychology to find out what was wrong with my family and me, why I became a loner as a child because no one in my family understood me at all and because there was no safe place to find someone who did.

This is so needed
Reviewed: 02-17-24
I'm only on the second podcast, but I really love this! I am caregiver for my husband, with dementia. I have been so wishing for support, because I feel all alone out here. I can relate to everything expressed here. We live on a mountaintop in central California. This is mostly a blessing, because my husband gets disoriented around other people.
I did not realize, until we bought our home, that he had dementia that had started developing probably a decade before. I didn't notice it, because I was the breadwinner, and I was running my retail store, keeping a roof over us. He was a prolific pen &ink artist when we met, and he gradually lost interest in drawing. This should have been my first clue. I thought he was just becoming lazy.
I think others may have noticed a change, but no one actually talked to me about it. Anyway, this is an excellent podcast. Thank you!

It was a complex family struggle that seemed truncated somehow. I listened in one sitting, and it was easy to follow. Spoiler alert, cv enters the picture and seems to make all problems magically disappear, by comparison. There was a lot undeveloped that could have given more depth. it was a little superficial... maybe the author is youngish? At the end there were many missing pieces that were abandoned.

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

But when you measure the military leadership by this standard, you become instantly aware that many leaders lack the integrity described here. Should be required reading in military academies. It probably is, if the teacher is gifted to teach.

Love. everything by Erich von Däniken! All the research on ancient cultures and their origins really began with Thor Heyerdahl and Erich, way back in the fifties and sixties. This book opened the door and laid a solid foundation for everyone that came later... I remember the book and the movie, and how he was ridiculed. Yet in this book he offered a multitude of evidence of ancient technology, extraterrestrial civilization, and the congruency of cultures separated by thousands of miles, that clearly had common origins... that ancient mankind was taught by advanced races that left monuments like the pyramids in hundreds of locations that bore unmistakable similarities of structures and practices. This book is a modern classic!

I loved the stories, many of them quite amazing. Vine Depot is is a very deep writer, and his lack by sentences are not easily read by the narrator. It comes out rather ponderously. It is worth listening to gain a sense of wonder about the miraculous nature of native medicine people, although mostly men in this book.

The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son, Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.

But once I saw the reality... that this is really what happened, and these were real people who lived and died...I became determine to acknowledge the brutality, and the abuse and murder of the Comanche people. Qannah Parker was heroic, but he was also a real person up against savage white men who treated them like they were stupid, which they weren't. It all has to be acknowledged .

Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.
