Quotes

“Broadcast journalist Maria Shriver gives a commanding narration of her meditation on how to live a meaningful life. Shriver’s soothing delivery has a gentle tone as she shares her personal reflections on life’s work and how to make a difference in the world. At times, when she’s conveying her immense respect and gratitude for her family and her role as a mother, she gets choked up. These heartfelt moments are deeply moving and help make her message about the power of blessings and gratitude so much more poignant. Shriver’s choices of spiritual prayers are also delivered with her signature personable style, which conveys their inspiring messages. A beautiful listening experience for all times. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
