About this listen
Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The listener is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

Great book. Distracting narrator.
LOVED this book. Absolutely good content. But left wondering how an answering machine gets work as a narrator for emotional intelligence audiobooks?

Narrator is hard to listen to
Great content but unfortunately the voice of the narrator I found very unpleasant. I really had to disconnect from it which detracted from the book.

Awful to listen to
I think this book may be very interesting, but the reading was so appalling that it was difficult to listen to and understand.

Interesting
Very interesting topic and lots of great info. Not a fan of the reading voice, but after a while the pronouncing of "body" became quite amusing

Great Explanation of Trauma
Loved it - lots of great info about trauma and how to integrate it. Narrator is not so great but sounded ok when played at 1.5 speed.

worst narrator ever
I love the works of Levine, but couldn't bare the tedious, slow drone of the narrator. I tried speeding the pace, but still dreadful. Unable to get passed chapter 3 as a result.

Many 'ah ha!' moments.
In a world becoming increasingly dependent upon the ever growing pharmaceutical company's, this book gives hope to those to reclaim that which cannot be be purchased, being human. Why this form of treatment is not mainstream is a marker of the power that big business has as the world grows sicker and their profits rise.

Great book, insufferable narrator
Truly the worst narrator I have heard in ages - drawling and nasal. Particularly “American”, elongated vowels - does not sound at all connected to what he’s reading. I cannot fathom this choice.
