Original Self Audiobook Summary
According to Thomas Moore, people today have lost the deep, direct, and vivid sense of what it means to live with passion and originality. Moore believes that beneath the many thick layers of indoctrination about who we are and who we should be lies an original self, a person who came into this world full of possibility and destined for a particular life.
The fifty mediations in this collection offer fresh interpretations of living with that original self rather than conformity. he presents multidimensional portraits of the creative self and different angles from which to tap one’s primal emotions and possibilities. This audio demonstrates what it means to live from the burning essence of the heart, with the creativity that comes from allowing the soul to blossom in its own colors and shapes.
With his usual grace and insight, Moore counters the prevailing assumptions of the day and offers strikingly unorthodox views on what is virtuous and healthy, opening up possibilities for a renewal of the way we live socially and in our private lives.

Another book everyone should read! How to live from the soul in a soulless world.

“Original Self” is a book of essays, all around 2-3 pages long. A gift from my father, I took it up after he passed away and kept it on my bedside table for over a year, reading one essay every time I caught sight of it. They may be short, but each is packed with wisdom and insights that provoke deep deliberations about the Self and about celebrating our creativity and originality. It is a spiritual book, though not affiliated to any particular religion. It stresses that we are complete when we are born; our Original Self is flawless. In our human experience we sometimes lose parts of our soul, and fall into destructive patterns to convince ourselves that we’re not enough, that we don’t measure up, engendering neuroses and anxiety. Moore reminds us that there are possibilities and passion in everyday life, if we strive towards an awakened heart.

A great book of small essays and ideas. Each one different from the next leading the reader through the life lessons that Thomas Moore has picked up or formulated along the way. I enjoyed this as you could hear influences, but it felt very much his own. Very much his own words and thoughts.

Read as a kind of daily reflection. Chapters are short and filled with wisdom. Lots of thoughts to ponder, and ideas to circle back upon.

A well-written, contemplative book. Some meditations were profound, others didn't do it for me. But, overall, worth a read.

The wisdom of paradoxes and the meaningful lessons of authencity derived from the ironies of life, has never been met with such depth and measure of insights and spritual sensitivity as any other author, than Moore. Thomas Moore is a lighthouse of the sacred workings of the heart, often navigating amidst tenacious terrains of ache, and the softness of a broken heart i touch with life, and the elixir of mystery.
