5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Work, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Is Anyone Listening? (Hardcover)

An absolutely amazing, well written, and thought provoking book! Listening seems to be such a simple act, but it's surprising how often we forget, or take for granted the importance and value of listening to Life and its various facets. With an inspired use of text, photos, and original quotes the author has presented a gentle, beautiful, meaningful, and creative message that I think everyone should hear.

The book is incredibly gorgeous! I placed my copy on my fireplace mantle. It looks beautiful and serves as a daily reminder to 'Listen'.

By the way.....the audio cd is outstanding! Hearing the authors own voice added an extra element - her voice is very beautiful and easy to listen to. Coupled with her original quotes and beautiful background music this cd is one of my all-time favorite audio books.

"Is Anyone Listening?" is a beautiful coffee table book with an inspiring theme that captures even the casual reader. Dr. Sterling thoughtfully delivers a critical message for today's society and she does it by appealing to ALL the senses. I highly recommend the audio version as a complement to the book. "Is Anyone Listening?" is the perfect gift for any occasion. This is truly an investment with a high return. It does what it promises...it changes your life!
