Insight Books

This set of audio CDs are talks given by a very unique spiritual teacher trying to help solve the modern problems we face. These definitely are not your typical "New Age" pep talks, nor are they austerely "spiritual." In fact, Rama defines what might seem to be a new set of spiritual issues that people today identify with much more readily than traditional categories. For example, instead of classic discussions of desire and aversion, Rama talks about "Storing Power" and "Seeing." Instead of using the traditional framework of spiritual aspiration, he talks about "How to Make Friends with God." Certain hot-button issues, both in contemporary social and classic spiritual circles, are taken on directly. Sexuality is given its own talk, and the big issue for those who practice Zen--how long does it take to become Enlightened?--is tackled in "Instant Enlightenment." The result is an exhilarating and refreshing take on how to try to become enlightened while living in the high-pressure urban world. Rama's voice has a certain presence to it, and hearing how he explains subtle spiritual concepts as well as the psychological issues we all confront always has a sense of deep understanding. He is also very, very funny, which helps immensely in putting yourself in perspective. Overall, it is having someone who really is a master of Buddhism and made it work in modern life showing you how to do it too.

I got this book for Christmas and I'm only on the C's. I recommend this book for anyone who loves to hear what wise women had to say. My only criticism would be that they use a lot of quotes from books, rather than speeches.

This is a combination of the set of audio CDs and the book version of talks given by a very unique spiritual teacher trying to help solve the modern problems we face. These definitely are not your typical "New Age" pep talks, nor are they austerely "spiritual."

He is also very, very funny, which helps immensely in putting yourself in perspective. In book form, you can go at your own pace, absorbing a few pages at a time if you wish. Either way, it is having someone who really is a master of Buddhism and made it work in modern life showing you how to do it too.

A very fine read...helpful in everyday life's experiences and road blocks.
Thank you

This is an excellent source/guide for men. Sound, common sense advise. All men should read this book, it's great. No girlie stuff here. Come on guys, get started on a great new year by reading this common sense guide to help you through those trying times! Short and to the point!

I really enjoyed Reeni Fenholt's book. It addresses an issue that we have seen many times from a secularistic viewpoint, but rarely from a Christian viewpoint.

I too am an ex-minister's wife and I am horrified by the abuses in the Christian homes across the nation. More appalling, is the fact that it is also in the homes of men we call pastors, evangelists, and teachers. I believe it starts at the pulpit and filters down through the church. It is time for the ex-wives of these "divinely called" men to speak out. I admire and respect Reeni greatly for being one of the first to do so.

Reeni's book should be read by all. Not only should it be read by women that are being abused, but by others so that they can understand the devastating ramifications of this abhorrent pattern that permeates our churches and society at large.

I've use this book a number of times in group workshops
discussing how group dynamics change by adding new members
in terms of purpose and internal solidarity.

Published in 1966, but still valuable today

I use a chapter of this with undergraduates. It is a very successful assignment. They like its clarity and its familiar form. I recommend it for those studying on their own or in groups.

an audio CD by former recruiter and hiring manager that shares everything you need to know about getting a job- it IS absolutely the best information on the market. This little blue CD contains all the answers to all the interview questions you will for sure be asked on all the interviews you go through before you finally get a job offer. I think the Managers I interviewed with listened to this CD and then used these questions because they were all on Interview Insight! I could not believe it. But they believed my answers because I got a very good job offer within two weeks of buying this CD. Yes I highly recommend it. Five stars!
