I loved Listening From The Heart. Here is someone who can afford to be totally honest about what it is to be human -- flaws and all. Well written and very moving.

Technology is a wonderful thing. We can do a lot more now than ever before. One of the costs of being able to "do more" is that we have less time with ourselves and others. More communication happens with inanimate and impersonal objects, like computers and texting devices, than with living breathing things. We become expert at interacting with machines but we forget how to feel with our hearts. The more dispassionate our interactions, the more hard hearted we become. This book shows the reader how to evaluate feelings at the core. Identify the source of the feeling. And move forward after learning the benefit from and purposes of all our experiences. While it is painful at times to evaluate the details of our past, it can be empowering if we choose to build on the experience.

This book may of just come at the right time but it changed my attitude about life and changed my circumstances in one weekend read. I had been worried about lossing my job and about aggressive peers pushing me out. I was also going through a challegning family situation. Mr. Gottlieb's words were positive and heartful. I highlighted all of the areas that touched my heart and then loaned it to a friend. Once I got it back I reread my highlights and I am still in a much more positive mode. This is gentle book about living through learning, and with our fear. A kind and gentle book of lessons learned and dealing with the realities of life. 3 months later I am still positive, and reading his other book "Letters to Sam". Listen and you will learn more, and feel much better.
A moving read, highly recommended (2009-07-15) : 5/5
