When I first heard Mario Martinez speak (on the radio), it struck me that this guy is demonstrating a rare ability to speak the truth of Mind-Body neuropsychology in a way that an average person can easily follow along. I've rarely purchased expensive audiobooks but have absolutely no regret buying this, it's a bargain.
In these 6 discs, Martinez makes a valiant attempt to use his psychological grounding as a starting point to integrate facts from modern scientific research, historical and cultural observations, personal stories, and other "real world" data points. In the process, he gives the listener numerous opportunities to experience these facts for themselves, and to test them in their own lives. This is not a "woo-woo" and "feel-good" tape set, Martinez gently lays out the facts and ways in which they might be practically applied, and the way he does it is so simple and non-threatening that you can't help testing the waters. He's not telling you to take it on faith, but to test it yourself. Occasionally he does state something as a "fact" that I find issue with, but he strikes me as a man who would welcome a challenge to refine his statements and conclusions when a more accurate truth is discovered.
I'm not sure if I totally agree with him yet, but for example he's personally distilled all archetypal wounds down to 3: Shame, Abandonment and Betrayal. He says that modern science is now able to prove distinct chemical changes when the mind interprets an event as one of those. I've heard the "change your mind and change your life" angle from fields from psychology to parenting to philosophy to religion, but below is something simple that everyone can simply check out for themselves.
