Great place to start with IFS for intimate partnerships

Revisado: 03-12-24

After reading several of Richard Schwartz’s book, this is the one I will attempt to peddle to my husband. The porters might be better if you have ambitions to really digest the theory. Well worth it. IFS perspective is actively changing my life

Brilliant indeed!

Wow, this excellently produced podcast certainly opened up MY world and the way I understand it. I’m taking away a new found enthusiastic curiosity about neurology. Now I’m off to devour Oliver’s books. I’m expecting to come to some unique conclusions about my own experiences co-habiting with this brain of mine!

Predictable, yet amicable characters and held my interest.

Revisado: 02-27-23

Predictable but amicable characters held my interest. I doubt it will warrant a second read any time this decade, but I am looking forward to book 4 and I’ll likely explore more of Cobble’s writing. Simon Vance never disappoints!

Awful performance: “Its like murdering your mind”

Revisado: 02-01-23

Wow. That was painful. I suffered through to the end just in case it got better. Like many if you, I’m a huge Stormlight fan hungry for a broader picture of the cosmere. I was unaware that this book was so old and so early on in Sanderson’s career that it’s more like reading a first draft. The dreadful “ movie in your mind“ made in already cliché, underworked story and excruciating waste of time. If you still feel drawn to the story, after all, do yourself a favor and read the paper book. I am an avid audiobook listener, so it takes a lot for me to recommend reading the paper version instead.
I will say, if Sanderson and his entourage ever got around to rewriting, or re-engaging this world, there is an interesting and appealing underlying potential here. My hope so is that they would redeem the embarrassing attitude of the female heroine and the cliché petulant entitled tantrum throwing princess-needing-rescue situation. Yuck

Stunning as usual.

Dawn shard did not disappoint. I’m left wanting more, but not hanging off a cliff. This is good since as we know it could be awhile before the next adventure in the cosmere.

Meh. Disappointing.

Revisado: 01-20-23

Well, I’m not sure what I was expecting but feel disappointed. This whole series seems like a rough draft. I really wish he wouldn’t have quit by lobbing it to the publisher. The concepts and characters have such potential. I suppose maybe her wanted to move on to Light Bringer? You’ll hear no complaints from me regarding that. LB is a compete work of art, whereas this series feels like a sketchbook. Prost!

Much better than the first one!

Revisado: 01-12-23

I barely survived the first book, but my sister likes this series so I pushed through. This one is definitely better, but pales in comparison to the Light Bringer series. Hopefully the third book gets better still!

Not Light Bringer

Revisado: 01-07-23

I dragged myself through to the end because in my book, the Light Bringer series is second only to The Stormlight Archive. The narration performance was robotic and cold, survivable only on 1.3x speed. I’m not sure who Brent is appealing to with the artistic descriptions of child rape and butchery seemingly for its own sake. I’m all for violence when it adds to the story, but unfortunately the spectacle upstages his meager character development. I’m honestly shocked because the character development and the magic system in Lightbringer is brilliant. I realize he wrote this first, and I’m trying to leave run in my expectations for him to have grown as a writer. Instead, I find myself regretting the many times I’ve promoted him as an author, wishing I knew to give the caveat that I recommend Lightbringer, not all of Weeks work. I do have some level of interest in the characters and magic system, enough to start the next book. However, this is a tedious stressful read with not enough reward for my suffering. My hope is that his growth as a writer happens here in the writing of this trilogy. Here’s to hoping this awful taste in my mouth clears up in the next book.

It's hard to imagine a worse narrator.

Revisado: 02-08-21

The narration is unbearable. It's as if this is one of those Sleep Stories where the narrator is intentionally trying to put you to sleep. How does this even happen? This performance is the anthesis of the soul behind Meister Eckhart's enticing passion, awareness of beauty & mystery, eloquence. What a sad, lost opportunity to extend this work out of the narrow esoteric realm and into something more accessible. Clearly, the reader does not understand our feel what he is reading. Come to think of it, listening to this guy is a lot like listening to my kindergarten son read me one of his early reader books! Good grief.
