review 1: I never thought I'd give a book that has writings by both Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson 2 stars, but honestly I was terribly bored with it's content. I chose to listen to the audiobook, so part of it could be the fact that I did not enjoy listening to Chopra and Ford (the 3rd author, of whom I was first introduced to with this book). Basically they say it is about the shadow we all have, but I believe the shadow they are speaking of is really the ego. As someone who has done a lot of reading about the ego, consciousness/awareness, and gratitude, this book was really remedial for me. I didn't learn anything from it, though I can see where it would have value to someone who is new to the aforementioned topics. I found Williamson's portion to be the most enlighte... morening, but there was not much new here in comparison to other works I've read of hers.
review 2: As I read through Chopra's section, I am appreciating how well-read he is, and thus can better appreciate his take on things.I am concurrently re-reading Marianne Williamson's Everyday Grace and am sure when I get to her part she will touch on some of the same things from that book. It is neat to see how things come together!I don't know much about Ford but after having read the introduction by her, I am looking forward to her section, as well. I appreciate the information presented in a different way by different people in order to help process and get through it. One thing I am hoping for is a method for parents to raise their children to KEEP them from having to go through the blame-game. How to teach a child right from wrong when what I'm reading in this book is that there is no separation? Need to find that book - anyone know of it? less
