After almost every presentation activist and writer Mia Birdsong gives to executives, think tanks, and policy makers, one of those leaders quietly confesses how much they long for the profound community she describes. They have family, friends, and colleagues, yet they still feel like they're standing alone. They're "winning" at the American Dream, but they're lonely, disconnected, and unsatisfied.

Enchantment. By Dr. Sharon Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency - one we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully engages the mythic imagination - but it is also deeply embodied in ecology, grounded in place and community.

Story
Myth is our wild way of telling the truth, of sharing stories that have our living earth speaking through them. There is an old insistence that we each have a twin we know nothing about. A wild, curious twin that was thrown out the window the night we were born, taking much of our energy with them. This story is a quest to find and court our wild twin, for they have something important to tell us. If there was something we were here to do in our few, brief years, we can be sure that the wild twin is holding the key.

Story
Inspiring hope, solace, and courage in living through our losses, author Martín Prechtel, trained in the Tzutujil Maya shamanic tradition, shares profound insights on the relationship between grief and praise in our culture - how the inability that many of us have to grieve and weep properly for the dead is deeply linked with the inability to give praise for living. In modern society, grief is something that we usually experience in private, alone, and without the support of a community.

As Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us - people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits - all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.

The most valuable book for understanding to mind and soul A practical framework with exercises

By: Richard C. Schwartz PhD, and others
Publisher's Summary
A 2017 Nautilus Gold Award winner.
Feel like you don’t belong? You’re not alone. The world has never been more connected, yet people are lonelier than ever. Whether we feel unworthy, alienated, or anxious about our place in the world, the absence of belonging is the great silent wound of our times.
Most people think of belonging as a mythical place, and they spend a lifetime searching for it in vain. But what if belonging isn’t a place at all? What if it’s a skill that has been lost or forgotten?
With her signature depth and eloquence, Toko-pa maps a path to belonging from the inside out. Drawing on myth, stories, and dreams, she takes us into the origins of our estrangement, reframing exile as a necessary initiation into authenticity. Then she shares the competencies of belonging: a set of ancestral practices to heal our wounds and restore true belonging to our lives and to the world.

Poor quality audio
The author was not taught breath control resulting in a never ending rhythm of gasps and thinly spoken words all held in a malaise like mood that had a depressing affect. Much of the content was interesting but ultimately the author is a fatalist and gives a nod to the incredible harmful new age myth that abuse or trauma are necessary part of one finding ones gifts and paths. To me this represents an unexamined need for certainty of meaning where respect for mystery and the limits of our understanding are a better fit.

Pseudo belonging
I can’t get past how often she puts down ‘friends’ (ie a friend is a lovely singer, but rather than celebrating her own voice, she tears down her friend by calling it sickeningly sweet and fake — one example of many). Some insights, yes, but a lot of vilifying others rather than accepting their faults as human. People can accidentally hurt you, and not be villains.
Less about community and belonging than I wanted, more about dealing with how to feel when people you love disappoint you, and you aren’t ready to forgive them.

Relevant content, flawed delivery
The content of this book is very relevant to the person seeking self knowledge / improvement. The problem with this audio version is not the message, but the messenger. The author/reader gasps quite loudly at the end of every sentence, and it takes away the attention from what she is saying. I was wondering if I had turned a bit too purist on the vocal quality, so I paid attention to the other book I was listening to at that point, one of Harry Potter's books read by Stephen Fry. If I pay close attention to the sound I can manage to hear the moment when he inhales after reading a whole paragraph, but it is soft enough to be ignored. Unfortunately in this book that is not the case (for me). I would suggest to you that (GASP) you'd be better reading the text version (GASP) of this very important material (GASP). At least, listen to a sample to gauge what I'm talking about.

Toko-pa’s book has become my bible and her self narrated audio version it’s song.
I cannot rate it high enough through my own inadequate words. And it’s not just for women. I gifted a copy to my neighbor and her husband READ IT FIRST!
Took-pa is tapped into a source you’ll recognize. And her astonishing, beautiful articulation not only lights the way home, but will embolden you to bravely trust that you can find it to too. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Deep nourishment in troubling times
I just finished listening to this absolutely fantastic book by the deeply cherished Toko-pa Turner .
It is hard to put into words what a tender and evocative gift she has woven with her luminous words and delicious voice. For hours I felt myself wrapped and held by her excellent reading, and the topics of belonging, living on this planet at this crucial moment in time, dreaming and most of the depth and breadth that make a life. Such a heartening, fortifying and just plain BEAUTIFUL book. Do yourself a huge favor, let Toko-Pa read to you.....even if you have read the book already, listen to it and blossom into a whole new appreciation of the wisdom and beauty through the tender care of her voice. ❤️❤️❤️

Horrible narration
My friend recommended this book to me and I was so excited to listen and I can’t get past the first chapter.
I can hear her smacking and breathing and gasping and I’ve never been so distracted by the way somebody speaks.
If you get it narrated professionally it will add immense value to your book, whether you’re narrating to be ‘in touch’ or just to spend less, I don’t know, I don’t care, I just think you should have done it right!

it is very rare, that the author has a nice voice, or can read beautifully. Unfortunately, Toko-pa keeps drawing breath loudly, and just sighs and breathes into the microphone. Seems like she is fighting for air. It renders the listening experience unbearable, quite impossible. I'll get the physical book , as it seems like a nice one. The narration gave me a headache

Amazing story, let down by recording
Who ever engineered this recording has let down what is an incredibly meaningful book. The recording is really poor. The vocals have not been compressed properly, and the edit it very amateur, with clearly audible background noise. I feel the narrator was set up poorly, making her force a whispered voice instead of feeling able to talk freely to express the book. (Have a listen to her voice on YouTube to compare).
You can hear a lot of breath and lip noises, lots of popping noises with P words which can make for a very distracting experience.
It’s such a shame because the story has a lot of depth and there’s so much to learn about where belonging comes from, and it’s always a treat to be able to hear from the author directly. Just wish she was setup and recorded professionally read the book in a way that it deserves.

Exquisitely insightful
I couldn’t wait to listen to this each day. It seemed that Toko-pa could relieve the knots and tangles of my thoughts and longings with her stories and wisdom. It was so illuminating, I didn’t want it to end! I have been talking about and recommending this book to all my friends and have bought a hard copy so I can reference it. Very grateful to have come across it.

A refuge for my soul
This was completely unexpected and I am so grateful to the universe for showing me this beautiful piece of art. For those who love poetry combined with a great depth of understanding of the human experience written and spoken in a way that shifts you from this busy mind state we exist in and if you really listen it will stop you in your tracks to allow something new within you to emerge. A quiet joy. A deep exhale and a feeling of pure loveliness.

Just Brilliant and exquisite.
What a gift and gifted soul is Toko-pa. This would be the most beautiful and incredibly awake book I have read. I waited for the audiobook and read by Toko- pa herself, it is a balm and a journey that will take you into those places that need to be held and held they will be. Bravo Toko-pa ! Encore please! ❤️🌹🙏

Deep gratitude to you, Toko-pa Turner
I wandered down a path, guided by Toko-pa as she uncovered hidden depths with love, compassion, eloquence, and deep empathy.
This generous gift will help anyone who feels unbelonging / unworthy / un-anything.
I love your voice, Toko-pa. I’m glad I listened. I’m not much of a reader!
Blessings ❤️🙏❤️ We All thrive on love and respect

Gorgeous content but whispery voice difficult to hear
First I bought this book and was looking forward to actually listening to it. But even though I have volume up max the readers voice goes so whispery it is hard to focus on what is being said.

Very insightful book
I was a little skeptical at first after reading a negative review but I found this a book very beautiful and lyrical. It offers many very well expressed concepts that have the potential to be transformative if put into practice. Read in the author’s own voice, which some may find challenging, I felt her truth and earnest communication of her vision very touching and something to be cherished. I will be listening to this book again.
