Get RAPT at Amazon |
Rapt is one of the best audio reads (and hardbacks I'm sure) I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Rapt is cerebral yet refreshingly without pretense. It covers many aspects of life through the lens of human attention. Rapt discusses the gamut from relationships to work, pleasure, satisfaction, anger, attention deficits (including ADD), meditation and mindfulness, conscious creation of experience, and more. The reader's female voice is well-paced, nice-to listen to vocally, and the audio is good quality. Lots of quotes from the psychologist and philosopher William James, who I found I quite liked. WJ says, "Wisdom is the art of knowing what to overlook," and "I sing not because I'm happy, but am happy because I sing." The truth in these statements and the profound affect of the ability to shape our own worlds of experience through perception and intention is one of the most motivating truths I can think of. I was glad to be reminded of this divine fact of life. Thanks, Winnifred.
So, enough about Winnie and me...tell us what gets your rapt attention?
