Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

A recording of a spontaneous 1996 lecture by the two authors, this short recording captures a small part of the wisdom these two spiritual teachers have amassed over the years. Using examples from medicine, society, and the animal world, they speak about the interconnectedness of people and how conscious thoughts shared by many can have a powerful impact on our leaders and our society. Though the recording is crude, the weightiness and universality of these ideas carry the lesson into the deepest reaches of our awareness. It's a worthy addition, along with virtually everything these authors record individually and together, to anyone's library of inspirational and transformational audios.

1.0 out of 5 stars This tape misses the mark, August 15, 2001

This review is from: Living Without Limits (Chopra, Deepak) (Audio Cassette)

I respect both these speakers, but this tape is just a commercialized excerpt of their chatter. They admit up front that it is an unstructured talk, and it's just that - a snippet of a presentation they made somewhere, which doesn't even cover both sides of the cassette. Dyer is full of himself and thinks he's witty, and Chopra is sometimes hard to understand and/or follow. Both of them could have done much more to prepare and deliver quality content, rather than a few anecdotes and quotes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Gateway to Something Better, January 17, 2005

By 

lifetime beginner - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living Without Limits (Chopra, Deepak) (Audio Cassette)

I can see the points that the previous reviewers have made, and would even agree with them. This tape is by no means meant to be a real "how to" guide as much as a "gateway to something better", i.e. more of their material or others'. With that in mind, this is a phenomenal intro. to and reminder of the very simple yet powerful ways we each possess within us to change ourselves and others. I would highly recommend this tape for a quick refresh when you're feeling down, and for someone who hasn't really been exposed to many of the deep concepts outlined, e.g. quantum healing / meditation / physics / psychology / etc.... Even having read and heard a lot about this type of material, the tape provided a lot of the behind-the-scenes detail by naming studies, doctors, and terms that are used to describe each phenomenon, i.e. coherence in physics, placebo/nocebo response in medicine, etc. I wouldn't give this tape 5 stars because there are a few parts that are confusing because there is a poor use of wording, but it is very, very small compared to the value of the message that you can still get out of it. Finally, if you want to know what Dr. Dyer and Dr. Chopra both allude to when they speak of what they practice for meditation and insight to life, it is TM (www.tm.org).

Having searched for a long time through Hindu and Buddhist sects to find a meditation technique that is simple and effective, this is by far the best. My recommendation is to buy this tape and the book "Science of Being and Art of Living" by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. If it is good enough for and explains all the success of the authors, then it is good enough for the rest of us. The only thing I can't understand is why they don't tell us about it directly, unless of course it remains the "secret" to their success. Either way, you will see for yourself that this is the closest they come to saying it without using the words to spell it out, i.e. "20 minutes in the morning and night", "vedic (aka Yogic) flying", etc. If you are looking to tap into your divine nature, then TM is the easiest way. Best of luck. God Bless.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY INSPIRING, January 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Living Without Limits (Chopra, Deepak) (Audio Cassette)

As always, Dyer and Chopra are very inspiring and give you much to think about, even in one short tape. The person writing another review wants a "how to", but in one tape, that's impossible. Plus, spiritual matters are less about "how to" than easing the psyche into a fuller life.
