Not Unabridged

I have the hard copy of this book. Its important to note that these are JUST the AFFIRMATIONS. The material at the beginning of each chapter is COMPLETELY left out. Unabridged means FULL content. Abridged means some parts are left out. Audible should learn the difference and advertise accordingly. This is an ABRIDGED version of the book. Compare it with the book. In each chapter most of the AFFIRMATIONS aren't even on this recording. And the frogs in the background of some chapters are LOUD, distracting and completely ANNOYING.

Background Noise is Disturbing

I do not like the sound of running water to the extend that I will not listen to this book. I was unable to get beyond maybe 3-4 minutes

Didn't love it.

As a mind body educator, I've used affirmation for years with students of all ages, however I don't feel that this particular piece would be good for beginners. While I felt that the affirmations themselves were well-written, and applicable to many different life situations, many people don't understand the foundational concept of affirmation, so some context would have been useful in the beginning of each section , especially for beginners wanting to explore the use of affirmation. I found the background noise to be very distracting, and not conducive to creating the emotions that affirmations need in order to take root. The reader, while the volume and steadiness of his voice was decent, didn't seem to embody the energy behind these affirmations. I would love to see this book remastered, with some context, better background sounds/ instrumental music, as well as the reader speaking with energy, authenticity and the emotion needed for the affirmations to take root.

Misleading

Note that these are just a few affirmations contained within the book and not the full book itself.
