A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey toward an Undivided Life Audiobook

" It opened my heart to a new way of thinking. A very good book for me to read. "

" Honestly, I found this book about connecting with your inner soul to be kind of weird. The concept itself was good but it seemed very drawn out and I found myself reading it simply for the sake of finishing it. If you wanted to lead a "circle of trust" group which allows you to discover your soul through community it is a good 'how to' book complete with a chapter guide in the back of the book. "

" living a genuine life takes work...but it is WORTH IT! "

" Excellent! A wonderful call to arms (or... more rightly, action) for those who crave more purpose in the daily grind of professions that we once chose for nobler, loftier reasons! "

" This book reminded me of the importance in asking other people open, honest questions - questions that I couldn't possibly have an answer. Examples from Mr. Palmer: "Have you ever had an experience that felt like your current dilemma?" or "Did you learn anything from that prior experience that feels useful to you right now?" "

" Loved Loved Loved this book. Just found it again so excited to delve in again. "

" Facinating and difficult stuff to achieve, but worth the effort. The one thing Palmer doesn't address is what you do with the rest of the world that is content to live a divided life. "

" If you are ever unsure about what you do or what you should be doing this is the read for you. Especially for teachers, Parker Palmer is so inspirational. "

" In our multi-tasking world, Palmer invites us to welcome the Soul back into our lives. He offers insights as to how to live our lives authentically, aligning our private and public worlds. Palmer's compassion is evident throughout as he encourages readers to live a life "divided no more." "

" Very well-written book about reconciling one's place/effect on the world and the world's effect on self. I plan on reading other books by this fellow. "

" Parker Palmer is my favorite Quaker. He is the only Quaker I know; nevertheless, he is still amazingly insightful in his writing. If your into raising your self-awareness this is a great book to start with in my humble opinion. "

" Interesting perspective on the power of dialogue in small groups. "

" Amazing book! I've been reading mostly from the library, but this is on my "to buy" list now, so I can read it over and over. "

" What Palmer says in this book about our "divided life" and not living out of our true selves is absolutely true and right on target, but his suggested approach for dealing with/correcting it is something that won't connect with many personalities, and especially a lot of men. "

" I absolutely loved this book. Parker Palmer does an excellent job of painting a picture of what safe communities of people look like and how they help individuals toward living an undivided life of integrity. Recommended for anyone who leads any sort of group. "

" I was riveted for the first third of the book. I was not as excited about the "circle of trust" solution Palmer proposes, but I'm sure it works for many people. "

" This book is one of my top recommendations to friends and clients. I refer to this book in my Wheel of Initiation, particularly for those who are considering joining a group. Every book he has put out is worth the read. "

" A great before bed read. Very thoughtful as to creating supportive groups for problem solving, discernment, etc. "

" Parker Palmer never ceases to amaze me. For anyone who is searching... this is a must. "

" Very influential in introducing me to Parker Palmer and Quaker thought. I keep this on my iPod and listen to again and again from time to time. Palmer is a thoughtful, wise and insightful mind. "

" My powerful Artist's Way group from last winter will work our way through the chapters of Hidden Wholeness - and then it will be spring. "

" It opened my heart to a new way of thinking. A very good book for me to read. "

" Only a five because "6" isn't an option. "

" Very clear thoughtful work on how we can help each other on our spiritual journeys. Nice for therapists also on the power of non-judgmental, attentive listening, creating an open and accepting space for people to do their own work without needing to "fix" them. "

" The BOH staff is reading through this over the next year. We are and we work with wounded people and this is just what we need to be discussing with each other. It's all about strengthening the soul through strong communities. "
