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.

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!

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.

Loved this book! There's something here for everyone. I've been giving copies to friends as gifts. It's unusual to read such honest in-depth interviews with well known people. Unlike other works of this kind, this book is refreshingly direct, has no hype, and really gets to the bottom of some important and often controversial ideas without sounding preachy or defensive. In her conversation with physicist Michio Kaku, the author even manages to make advanced physics not only understandable but exciting, ironic, and amusing.
