Overcoming Life's Disappointments Audiobook

" Truly enjoyed this perspective and learned a lot! "

" I really enjoy Rabbi Kushner's take on the world - in all his books that I've read. This is no exception - I was in tears in some parts. My only complaint about the book is that I think sometimes he takes the Moses analogy too far, to a point that became uninteresting for me. But a few pages of uninteresting are definitely worth the rest of the book's insights. "

" I liked Kushner's earlier book "when bad things Happen to Good People", this one not so much. Seemed a bit disjointed. "

" I'm a huge fan of Rabbi Kushner's - his books are all about finding what is truly important and focusing on that, letting go of the our superficial and hurtful urges. "

" "Humility is the realization that not everything that happens in life is all about you. Things may work out well, but you may not have been the primary reason for their success. Things may fail, but the failure may not have been your fault." (p. 120) "

" itself disappointing. when bad things happen to good people was so good. "

" Always like Kushner, and this one no exception. Daughter was reading it so decided to give it "a go." Based on the story of Moses. The theme will be helpful for class I will be doing in the fall. "

" Rabbi Kushner gives interesting stories & advice based on Moses & how he dealt with life. I liked the perspective & the stories, even though I'm not a believer of Old Testament stories, there are valuable grains of truth in stories. Also, my version was an audio CD, not cassettes. "

" Excellent! Practical and inspirational. "

" I listened to he audio version of this book and it was wonderful. If there ever was a 5-star read (or listen, in my case) it is this. Truly moving. "

" Not as good as his classic When Bad Things Happen to Good People, but nice and insightful. Uses the story of Moses to teach about overcoming the frustrations of life. "

" I did not finish the book, but I thought the early part had some good concepts. "

" It has been years since I have read a Rabbi Kushner book. I enjoyed this one. "

" I heard Harold Kushner speaking on the radio and decided to read his book. I had read When Bad things happen to Good People many years ago. I enjoyed his religious spin on this book. I think this book will give anyone who is disappointed with how life is should read this book. I know it helped me. "

" ah the world of self-help books which are so marginally helpful...nothing new in this one. just a different way to frame things. aka "what would Moses do?" "

" kind of like a jewish self-help book "

" Another excellent Kushner book. "

" I love two of Kushner's books, but everything else has been kind of a dud. Even though I finished about 70% of this one, I couldn't generate the interest to finish it up. Eh. "
