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.

3.0 out of 5 starsShallow reading for those who are just curious...
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018
This is not the book for the serious practitioner. If you are looking for real wisdom you may find this book too simple and shallow. Some of the concepts used here like "the story of the Eagle and the Snake" are completely misleading due to perhaps lack of historical knowledge form the Author. The story of the Eagle and the serpent is a religious fabrication from Christianity. In Native American culture the Serpent was never seen as a negative symbol. The negativity of the snake symbol comes from the Bible, not from American shamans. For those who are looking into deeper understanding and higher knowledge, I strongly recommend "Shamanism As a Spiritual Practice for Daily Life" by Thomas Dale Cowan and Tom Cowan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The wisdom you seek is inside you - don Jose Ruiz
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2018

This book is very easy to read, it is interesting and educational on every page. I enjoyed learning about don Jose Ruizs hometown and the messages he brings from there. It is an interesting story of how the great city of the Aztecs, Tenochtitlan, started - which is where Mexico City is now. The shamans message from the fire to his people was "When the eagle of truth devours the snake of lies in the garden of your mind, then you will find a home within yourself- you will find your own personal freedom." The message from this book is the wisdom you seek is inside you. I look forward to sharing this book with my teenage boys, as well. Thank you don Jose Ruiz!

This book is beyond phenomenal. From reading The Four Agreements to this, I have helped myself to heal and start living life. I love the way the author told stories to help explain his points. I love how easy and smooth the reading was. I purchased this book on the nook but plan to purchase a hard copy. The best investments i have made are purchasing this book and The Four Agreements. All I can say is thank you thank you thank you

Thank you for sharing your culture, thank you for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for helping me to help myself.

I loved this book! It just popped and was in tune with a lot of things I had been struggling with. The way the lessons are laid out just made sense. It was like one of those AHA! moments where everything just clicked and I understood whereas before I had been missing the mark, not by much but I just wasn't making that connection and through the stories and the lessons I was finally able to connect the dots. It is definitely a spiritual journey and very well written.

I bought the book wisdom of the shamans during the flash sale. I was thinking of adding that book to my Christmas list so my husband could get it for me. Once I saw the flash sale I bought it right away. I finished reading the entire book today. Coming from a Mexican background that book hit me in so many ways. It made me happy, it made me cry, it helped me open my eyes in the areas I am holding myself back in my life. Thank you for writing such an inspirational, & amazing book.

This is my new favorite. I especially appreciate the exercises at the end of each chapter. Talk about a deep dive. Wow! I'm going to be reading this one several times to absorb all of the jewels of wisdom.
