The Lakota Way: Stories and Lessons for Living Audiobook

" This book seems like it was written to children. As I am neither a child nor am I of the Lakota tribe, I was glad when I finished this book. "

" I listened to the audio book, and the narration was great-- but the sound quality varied. On the one hand, listening to the author tell his tribe's stories was great, but I want a physical copy of the book too, because there are parts I want to note for myself. good book though "

" Highly recommend this book to anyone searching for more than today's culture and society provides. "

" Simple lessons and philosophies told through Lakota history, legends and teachings. Great insight into great minds. "

" This was a very good book which related the concepts of the Lakota's to the author's personal experiences and life. "

" I enjoyed this book greatly as it gave very good life lessons. "

" I liked this book very much and would like to hear the audio book to get the full benefit of these wonderful stories . It is a book to share. The stories, lessons and wisdom are wonderful. Plan to read more of his books. "

" Read by author, beautiful music included. Stories to live by. "

" Wonderful book, makes you realize how much wisdom there is and always has been in the world--and wonder why it is so difficult for us to acquire it. "

" This book distills so many values thst I wish we could all live by. "

" *Really* great story-telling that teaches about values that are important. This is a book I need to put on my shelf to re-read... "

" A very interesting book -- a glimpse into the Lakota culture and their virtues. Interesting to have a Lakota folk tale, a modern version, and then how it all fits together. Especially interesting to compare it to the Bible, which is what my book club did. "

" I was impressed with the timlessness and meaningful attributes in these stories. "

" The tales of American Indians are interesting to know, but systemizing them according to a set of virtues including "perseverance", "humility", etc. seems somewhat artificial. "

" A solid collection of stories - parables for teaching. Greatly enjoyed and will likely use them to illustrate points in my future discussions. "

" a truly beautiful book. it presents simple and universal values, explaining how they manifest in the lakota tradition. I reccommend any of Joseph M. Marshall III. I totally cried at the end of his biography of crazy horse! "

" This is one of the best Native American pieces of literature I have read. The book is a collection of stories that are broken up into sections and each section has its own lesson. Each lesson encourages its reader to live a simpler, happier life. "

" This was a good collection of stories from the Lakota. Some were very touching, all made you think. "

" A nice, short book of stories that can take you away to a time and land that the modern world has forgotten. Very interesting to compare western-European ethics with those of our country's original inhabitants (whom we robbed and poisoned and abused in such a thoroughly ethical manner). "

" Excellent Book. It really made me feel as though I wanted to try to pattern my life in more touch with the natural world and try to view life with more wisdom as I grow older. "
