How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starslook for this author on podcasts or in audio interviews
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017
I heard the author on a podcast and i really, really liked what she had to say. So I bought her book.

The book is very long. It contains considerably more information than the hour long interview I heard, which is good. I dislike when an interesting speaker has nothing further to say in a book they are promoting than the promotional material itself.

My problem, the reason I rated the book only 3.5 out of 5 is compared to the very dynamic manner in which the author speaks, the writing is very dry. I read a lot and I read widely, and I don't think of my self as particularly finicky but this book is hard going for me. I take it along where ever I go and attempt to delve further. Sometimes I jump ahead, hoping for a more engaging part. . .you might wonder why I still persevere, when it's clearly such a chore.

I keep going because the material is important. The material teaches one resilience, and how to rewire one's own brain. The results are wonderful. I very much appreciate my newly minted resilience. I recommend doing the work. You won't be sorry.

Was recommended to me, but found it unhelpful, repetitious. Could have easily been half the length without loss.

This is a fantastic resource for learning about resilience. It has deepened my understanding of the beneficial blend of mindfulness, modern neuroscience and psychotherapy. It has empowered me to learn more about resilience and its application in my life and use with students that I work with within the educational system. Linda's book is a valuable resource jam packed with useful exercises and tips, tools for anyone wishing to grow in their understanding of their own mind and self development. Truly a valuable book! Thank You!

5.0 out of 5 stars This should be required reading at some point in life
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013

This book shows why mediation and tools from psychology work so well together and can help so many different kinds of emotional and personal problems. We are all subject to them, and it shows in a smart and supportive way how to understand what is happening on a bodily and emotional level when we interact with, are affected by, and affect others. There are so many helpful insights to being a grounded, wise, emotionally intelligent person, it should be required reading.

My only problem is with the title. I think it will throw many readers off, especially those who already feel resilient. Graham is talking about a much deeper set of issues than simply bouncing back. It should have been titled something like "Interconnected: Buddhism, Psychology, and You (in plain English)".

Brava Linda Graham! You've outlined and combined so many great teachings and gems from research in an accessible way.

Linda Graham beautifully presents support, guidance and strategies for connecting to and building your resilience. This book is a must read for anyone who believes that once depressed always depressed. Linda Graham outlines ways to rewire your brain, strategies to support changes in attitude, perspective and long term outcomes that prove resilience is a muscle that we can all exercise and grow.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can rewire my tangled past into a logical, hopeful future.
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018
Verified Purchase
In this informative book, I learned the way my brain is wired, why the wiring needs remediation, and how to get my brain to a healthier place. It takes deep thought to process this book, and a strong implementation plan to apply the strategies. But it's worth the work to process the bad things that have happened and come out with a new outlook and a new life.

Eve Siegel, Certified Life Coach
5.0 out of 5 stars Support for Handling Life's Challenges and Risks
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2013

Linda Graham's new book, Bouncing Back-- Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being-- is really great-- clear, engaging, and compassionate in its concern for the growth and well-being of humanity. Bouncing Back rises to the challenge of bringing together the wisdom of psychotherapy, neuroscience, and mindfulness practice into a powerful new way of building inner strategies to cope with, and emerge stronger from, the inevitable aggravations and emotional upsets, even traumas, that can otherwise derail your life.

As a career and life transitions coach, I've been successfully using some of this book's dozens of helpful exercises with my clients to help them build confidence in making major changes in their lives-- a process that usually involves a lot of reaching out, falling down, and having to get back up again. These exercises are easy to use and really work. They can be used on their own or enhanced by the author's excellent text on why they work-- from psychological, neuroscience, and mindfulness research and experiential evidence. Bouncing Back has taken its place as a major tool on my professional bookshelf! I highly recommend it for coaches, therapists, and anyone who wishes to be able to rise to life's challenges and handle life's inevitable risks with more grace, grounding, and centering.

It has wonderful exercises to help a person learn to focus and make choices in life to reduce suffering and increase joy. Of course, the secret is to work with the exercises. Just reading through them will not work. I would recommend this book to anyone who sincerely wants to improve their inner life.

This book does a great job of providing real-world clinical interventions. Focused on factors of neuropsychology, attachment, and resilience. The experiential practices are detailed and practical. I refer to this book often in my clinical practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable, Alluring, Fascinating
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2013

Compliments Rick Hanson's "Buddha Brain," or perhaps similar, however this one is easier for me to read (appears not to be as academic) - lots of exercises to do by myself or with an/other, very inspiring, riveting, many moment of identifying and feeling at home-if you know what I mean. I encourage you to watch You Tub of Linda Graham talking about this process/book; it really inspired me to buy it. Good gift for spouse, significant other, family member, a co-worker. Give it anonymously if that might feel better. Some people might think their wiring is just fine . . .
