Story
The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes-in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body. This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering.

Story
In this accessible, fascinating look at the science of remembering, you'll learn how we turn perceptions into memories, how language shapes our experiences, and the crucial role forgetting plays in human recollection. You'll see how electricity, chemistry, and abstraction combine to form something more than the human brain - the human mind. And you'll gain surprising insight into what our brains can tell us about who we are.

Useful for deeper understanding of how memory works
Reviewed: 05-01-23
The book itself is useful and insightful.
The readers use of accents in reading quotations is offensive and detracts from the experience.

Story
The Lotus Sūtra is one of the most important Mahāyāna texts and the most widely read, chanted and revered, particularly in Asian Buddhist countries, notably China and Japan. It is certainly a remarkable document, replete with the Mahāyāna characteristics of fantastical images, extraordinary appearances, magical happenings, views of time and space which are galactic in size; and pronouncements which are definite, unequivocal, practical in some areas and dependent upon a faith commitment in others.

This is a wonderful presentation of the Dharma. The reader’s voice and pronunciation make a huge difference.

One midnight crash into a hallway wall sent him on an investigation into the strange science of sleep. In Dreamland, Randall explores the research that is investigating those dark hours that make up nearly a third of our lives.

The reader ruins this book
Reviewed: 12-14-19
As a psychotherapist I found the material of this book helpful in supporting my clients with sleep challenges. The reader of this book ruined my experience of the book. His use of accents was offensive, unnecessary, and distracting. Many of these voices not only felt cartoonist, but often like sexist, racist, and just plain annoying stereotypes that made what was an interesting read almost untenable. Audible should never use readers like this and should give refunds.
