review 1: This book comes at you like a one point sermon. It has one message. And the way the author expounds is like drawing a daisy - start at the center. Go out to form the petal, then come back to the center. Go out to form another petal, come back to center. Thankfully he didn't elaborate more than necessary. He gets the point across with stories. It could be summed up in an article, but the stories and his experience give credence to what he writes. Because it's one point, it's memorable and useful.
review 2: Brian McDonald’s book “The Golden Theme” claims to be a lesson on how to make your writing more accessible to people everywhere. But it is much more than that. It is a wonderful collection of stories and powerful anecdotes on how to live a more connect... moreed and fulfilling life.Referencing insights from Rod Serling to the Epic of Gilgamesh, McDonald directs you straight to the heart of what makes art resonate with people across cultures and centuries of time. Why does the eons old tale of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” still make sense to us in our techno-centric society? How is it possible that we continue to teach our children the lessons taught in the story of the “Tortoise and the Hare”? Because they are both derived out of the truth spoken in what McDonald has wisely named “The Golden Theme”. This book is nothing short of miraculous. It shines a bright spotlight on insights that are so seemingly obvious that we forget how important they are not only in our ability to create, but also in our ability to be human beings. I am very grateful to have been able to read this book. I know that I will be keeping it close at hand in m office so that I can open it often for inspiration and confirmation. I simply cannot recommend it enough. less
