Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Talking with Nina is a stimulating, entertaining and provocative experience. The people in this book - and the author who brought them together - share the gift, the courage, of believing in the possibility of a better world and a better life. We need to hear voices like theirs. We need to believe in change. Approach this book with an open mind, and you will come away rewarded. There is wisdom here, and hope, for those with eyes to see, and ears to hear." - Rob Killheffer, former Senior Editor, Omni magazine, from the Foreword

Journalist and writer Nina L. Diamond brings a rare insight and wit to the longest, most in-depth conversations ever published with fourteen prominent and innovative scientists, thinkers and healers, including best-selling authors James Redfield, Deepak Chopra, Brian Weiss, Caroline Myss, and physicist Michio Karu, as well as award-winning former CNN war correspondent and novelist Charles Jaco, NASA's JoAnn Mogan, leading neuroscientist Deborah Mash, and Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and director of the Gandhi Institute.

Each chapter-long symphony of ideas is an intellectual (an often irreverent) adventure that draws out their knowledge, passion and humor with ease, showing once again that there's nothing like a good conversation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lively and fascinating conversations, June 19, 2000

This review is from: Voices of Truth: Conversations with Scientists, Thinkers and Healers (Paperback)

Here is a collection of in-depth interviews with some of today's most visionary and progressive figures. From "the usual suspects" (Deepak Chopra, Carolyn Myss, et. al.) to folks like Arun Gandhi (grandson of the Mahatma) and pioneering neuroscientist Deborah Mash, these lengthy interviews provide a superb glimpse into the minds and thoughts of these controversial "truth-speakers." Most charming of all is author Diamond's down-to-earth, conversational, and at times genuinely humorous style. Don't miss her questioning Arun Gandhi about his grandfather's loincloth! Highly recommended.

This review is from: Voices of Truth: Conversations with Scientists, Thinkers and Healers (Paperback)

One of the most reader-friendly attributes of Voices of Truth is that you can read it - be entertained - and be informed while still having the ability to PUT IT ASIDE before you've finish it cover to cover. The writer's collection of interviews is assembled in such a way that while on a recent business trip, I was able to read selected segments completely from beginning to end - feel fulfilled - go on to other things and then come back to the book - over and over until I had completed reading the entire colletion of interviews. The Q & A style of this book made it seem as though I was in the room with the author and the interviewees. Quite extraordinary! Kudos to the author for presenting such a grand collection of impressive subjects!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Being A Fly On The Wall, April 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Voices of Truth: Conversations with Scientists, Thinkers and Healers (Paperback)

If you've ever wanted to have a conversation with someone whose work or ideas intrigued, then Voices of Truth is a great book for you. When you read it, you feel as though you are the one engrossed in the conversations. Journalist Nina Diamond asked 14 of our world's most intriguing people the same kinds of questions I would have asked had I been there. This book was the next best thing. She tackles very thought provoking issues and ideas often with humor and great wit that makes you feel each of her subjects--from James Redfield to Arun Ghandi-really opened up. Interesting and easy to read.
