Reason for Hope (Abridged): A Spiritual Journey Audiobook

" Great listen and enjoyed it more because Dr. Goodall narrated the book. She talks about various experiences that molded the way she sees the world. Her reasons for hope speak to an understanding of humanity and resonate with her work as a researcher and environmentalist. "

" I love Jane Goodall. She is an inspirational person without a doubt! "

" One of my absolute favorite books! I LOVE Jane Goodall! "

" Enlightening and inspiring. A life well-lived. "

" I don't remember it that well, but I did get a great quote from it. "

" I am sure hearing Jane Goodall speak recently and my longtime my admiration for her colored my view of the book. I like how her experiences were intertwined with reflection. Her overall message is that we can and must make the world a better place - - it's that simple. "

" A little slow, but inspiring and enjoyable all the same. "

" Was very interesting at the beginning but some of the hippie protesting stuff I don't agree with "

" "Always I have enjoyed aloneness... I was able to penetrate farther and farther into a magical world that no human had explored before." "

" Jane Goodall's Autobiography/spiritual journey... She was my hero when I was a kid, now re-connecting with her, I rememmber why. "

" A bit too churchy for me, but I like the sentiment overall. I'm a sucker for a good monkey tale. :) "

" One day in the future, when I'm not nursing an infant, I'll try again to eat mainly plants. Until then, I take inspiration from Jane's observations of chimp mothers. Raising a baby can be fun!! "

" I had trouble getting into this one. I guess I was expecting it to be more about her research than it is. I finally had to put it down when I got halfway through. For anyone interested in reading about someone elses spiritual journy this is probably a good choice. "

" I liked this book... but it was uneven... parts were very interesting... other sections less so... still how can one but admire Jane Goodall? "

" A good read about Goodall's personal and professional evolution. Jane has been my hero since the 60's and this book confirms my admmiration of her. "

" This woman is amazing. She is a personal hero of mine and I throughly enjoyed this book. It was both interesting and inspiring. I recommend it to those with an interest in philanthropy, primatology, ecology or spiritual growth. "

" Goodall has been one of my heros since childhood. I read this book while going through a tough time. It was really helpful. Deeply optimistic, with a healthy dose of realism. "

" Reading this autobiography of Jane Goodall really changed my life. "

" I liked this book but was disappointed at the last third of it. I wanted to hear more about the chimps and she went a different direction. I really respect her and think she's had an amazing life. "

" Back when it was way uncool to be an evironmentalist, Jane was and she made me one! Read why there is hope for a green planet! "

" It angers me that I never had the sense to pick up one of her books before this... so much lost time. Get the Kleenex. "

" It was a nice reminder of my anthropology days with a spiritual twist. I have heard Jane Goodall speak before & she is very inspirational. "

" Jane is quite an amazing lady! "

" This was a very good read. Jane Goodall takes you into her world and you are amazed. "

" A fantastic book. Equal parts memoir, philosophy and nature/biology book. This woman is incredible (I got to meet her once! Eeek!) and her books are all beautiful. Highly recommended. "

" I liked Jane Goodall before I read this book, but I like her even more now. She is a good writer, too. I highlighted quite a bit. I really admire how she has always been true to what she believes, even when it may "fly in the face" of accepted scientific belief. "

" Absolutely the most brilliant, hopeful, and spiritual book I have ever read. Makes the world a better place to be in. "
