I love this book for so many reasons! Knowing Lynn Robinson's other work, I ordered two copies immediately - one to give away and one to keep. When I opened the package I started looking through the book and could not put it down -- it is so easy to read, and filled with inspiring, real stories of how she and others have used their intuition and inner guidance to get through some really rough times. Divided into 27 short chapters ranging from "When Your World Turns Upside Down," to "Wise Guidance from Fellow Travelers," you can read it all the way through, or just pick up any section that appeals to you in the moment. It is packed with divinely inspired wisdom and quotes, practical tips and techniques, and journal exercises to help you tap into your own intuition.

What I really love is the compassionate, uplifting tone of the book. Just reading through the pages, I found myself becoming more positive and more enthusiastic about my own situation, seeing it (and the future) through the lens of hope and possibility. The writing itself gets you in the zone to see and receive your good. We are encouraged not with empty "rah rah" quips, but with inspired wisdom that rings with truth. If you are going through a transition, or just want to live a more authentic, peace-filled life, give yourself the gift of this book -- and listen to your own inner guidance. I wish you well on your journey!

Listen is one of those books that I just couldn't put down. I believe that with Lynn's writing,
she inspires us to trust our intuition in a way that gives us more confidence in believing in
ourselves. Lynn uses her own personal examples and stories from others to inspire us to know
that we may not be able to make sense of what's happening right now, but as always, when
one door closes, another one opens. In going through times of transition, we need all the guidance
we can get, so why not slow down and listen to ourselves and find out what's really going on inside
ourselves? Lynn gives us the "permission" we need to heal, grow and follow our dreams. This book
is priceless!

I initially picked up this book because of the beautiful shell on the cover. Once I took a closer look, I knew it was just what I needed. The information I found in "Listen" is just what I need to get back on track after a tough year. I've already started seeing results by listening and trusting my intuition.

Listen: Trusting Your Inner Voice in Times of Crisis is so clearly and simply written that even a person experiencing the brain fog of crisis should be able to follow the simple and helpful action steps found in each chapter, designed to lead them to a firmer footing and effective decisions. But don't assume you need to be having a crisis to benefit from it. It may be even more valuable to those who seek to become more attuned to their intuition when life is relatively calm and peaceful. Writers, artists, entrepreneurs -- anyone -- can benefit from sharpening this sense. Honing intuition before a crisis occurs will put you ahead of the game when one does arise, and that will surely happen. Lynn Robinson reminds readers that at some point in life we will all face a wrenching crisis such as the loss of a job or a loved one, marriage, betrayal, financial reversals, crushing illness or accident.

As a complement to the simply written process she outlines in each chapter, she urges readers to keep an Intuition Journal. Each chapter of the book concludes with specific instructions for using the journal to extend the benefits of material covered in that chapter. Each one of these journaling tips will lead to fascinating insights for anyone, quite apart from other material in the book.

Robinson's writing voice is so warm, it sounds as if your best friend is right by your side helping you navigate stormy waters. That is partly due to the fact that she includes many stories of her own experiences and times she faced down demons of fear, doubt and uncertainty. She also includes plenty of anecdotes about coaching clients who successfully used her techniques in a wide variety of circumstances. Through the combination of her deft writing skills and no-nonsense approach, she has demystified a topic that many consider a bit edgy and dubious. Whether you are currently in a crisis or simply curious, read this book for your own benefit, and then share it with your favorite skeptic.
