Story
Rumi's inspiring and deceptively simple poems have been called ecstatic, mystical, and devotional. To writer and activist Melody Moezzi, they became a lifeline. In The Rumi Prescription, we follow her path of discovery as she translates Rumi's works for herself - to gain wisdom and insight in the face of a creative and spiritual roadblock. With the help of her father, who is a lifelong fan of Rumi's poetry, she immerses herself in this rich body of work, and discovers a 13th-century prescription for modern life.

To fully experience the ecstatic poetry of the Middle and Near East, you must hear it as originally intended: stirred ablaze by inspired music and rhythms before a live audience. In I Want Burning, Coleman Barks fuses his passionate scholarship with a deep feeling for the poetry of Rumi, Hafiz (a 14th-century Sufi mystic, called "one of the jewels in the necklace of Persian poetry"), and Lalla (an exquisite Kashmiri female poet of the 14th century).

Maya Angelou’s unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS’s American Masters. “It is true poetry she is writing,” M. F.K . Fisher has observed, “not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity.... It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night...it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.”

Spiritual Verses

Overall
-
Performance
-
Story
Rumi's Spiritual Verses is the greatest mystical poem in Islamic culture - and of all time. Rumi examines our human separation from reality, love, and truth. He shows how love - neither erotic nor sentimental but divine, by which the universe is held together - enlightens ignorance and dissolves suffering. The first book of the Masnavi is the key to the whole work: It takes off from simple, amusing tales into realms unimaginable, but wholly familiar to the human heart.

Story
Ever noticed that trying to calm down often produces more agitation? Or that real fulfillment can be elusive, despite living a successful life? Often, such difficulties stem from the human brain's hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Modern science demonstrates that this survival mechanism served the needs of our earliest ancestors, but is at the root of many problems that we face today, such as depression, compulsive and addictive behaviors, chronic pain, and stress and anxiety.

Candide and his tutor Pangloss travel the globe trying to follow the philosophy "All is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds". However, they are stung and let down at every turn, being robbed, tortured, and ridiculed, amongst other trials. On hearing about their often disasterous travels, a listener feels unfortunately less than empathetic, and can't help themselves laughing out loud at this very funny account of the trail our optimistic travellers take.

Rumi great; original pieces opposite

Publisher's Summary
Rumi has been described as "the most popular poet" in the United States.
Rumi's popularity has gone beyond national and ethnic borders. He is considered to be one of the greatest classical poets, by the speakers of Persian language in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. His poetry is still read worldwide today and has been translated into a wide variety of languages including Turkish, Persian, Russian, Asian, English, and Spanish languages. Likely due to the pure universal natural themes in his poetry, Rumi's works are simplistic and beautiful at the same time.
A collection of 101 quotes of wisdom from Rumi on life, love, and happiness.
"Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands looks for something, will find it. "
"Now is the time to unite the soul and the world. Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows."
"Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being. If not, leave this gathering."
"Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absentminded. Someone sober will worry about things going badly. Let the lover be."
"Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom."

Beware the loud Bing!
The poetry is great but there is a loud, high pitched Bing Between each spoken line that is so annoying and immediately cancels out the beauty of the words. This could have been done a thousand times better! The sound of turning a page would have worked so much better, or even no sound just silence and stop.

" Like a mental multivitamin !"
A quick audible that serves up the inspirational word seekers out there , such as myself. The only thing I found indifferent from perfection was the "ding" to seperate the quotes.. Seeing as something had to seperate them and keep you tuned in, it still got the highest rating in my opinion. I have listened to this book 3 times and I bought it yesterday.
-Rumi has a way with words, so simple and effective. He is my 13th century crush.
I highly recommend this book! Find yourself a quote from him that pertains directly to you- because I assure you, there will be one. Such a great poet, such a great book.. Thankful his collection has been made available to us in this day and age.
