Story4.5 out of 5 stars 899
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

A checkpoint on my way to the truth

Jordan Peterson's voice led me straight to the right mental representation.
Listening to this is accepting his guidance through my inner world.
I realized what made me weak, which is myself.
Know the truth and it shall set you free.

The narrator has a calm voice. I can understand every word of his. The rhythm allows me to imagine what is being said. The tone is just right to let me focus on the content. I also listen while walking through the city. It helps me stay concentrated.
I am an Aspie and listening to this helps me to better understand myself. I know what makes my behaviour and I know what I'm capable of.
I am grateful for listening to this book. Thank you.

Many useful exercises detailed along.
I appreciate she opened up to us, talking about her life.
It is a life changing experience to listen to it, as long as you start doing those changes.

Sir Ken Robinson's way of speaking is unique and captivating.
A thorough research on education and finding your element, through which you can express freely and really live.
I advise you to leave everything aside when listening and simply absorb what you hear.
For me is another brick in my development process. Once laid, it stays fixed and can be further built upon.

Dr. Elaine Aron's audiobook Psychotherapy and the Highly Sensitive Person redefines the term highly sensitive for the professional researcher and practitioner. She dispels common misconceptions about the relationship between sensitivity and other personality traits, such as introversion and shyness, and further defines the trait for the benefit of both the clinician and patient.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2
La alta sensibilidad es un rasgo de la personalidad que afecta a un 15-20 por ciento de la gente. No es un trastorno. Se trata de una característica neutral que no significa ser especial ni tampoco mejor. Pero una persona altamente sensible (PAS), con la emocionalidad a flor de piel, ha de reconocerse como tal para entender las cosas que le pasan; saber dónde están sus límites; explicarse por qué a menudo siente que el mundo está lleno de alfileres que hacen daño.

It talks about HSP's work, relationship, childhood, parenthood and more.
It helps knowing. A good tool for improving yourself.

In 1993, Ryan records a diary on an old tape. He talks about his mother's death, about his dreams, about his love for a new girl at school who doesn't even know he exists. In 2013, Ameliah moves in with her grandmother after her parents die. There, she finds a tape in the spare room. A tape with a boy's voice on it - a voice she can't quite hear, but which seems to be speaking to her. Ryan and Ameliah are connected by more than just a tape. This is their story.

Where do we go when we die? Or is there nowhere to go? Is death something we can do or is it just something that happens to us? Now in his ninth decade, former Bishop of Edinburgh, Richard Holloway, has spent a lifetime at the bedsides of the dying, guiding countless men and women towards peaceful deaths. In The Last Bus, he presents a positive, meditative and profound exploration of the many important lessons we can learn from death.

A book that I needed to listen to.
It helped me to take a break from life’s race and think what am I headed towards.
Death has always been a preferred subject to discuss with close friends.
I recommend this to anyone worried too much about life’s purpose.
There is no purpose. That’s when you realise you can add one to it.
Calmly read by the author, with a warm deep tone, this book is worth five stars.
