Audiobooks by Anthony De Mello

"Every one of these stories is about you. (Anthony de Mello) Everyone loves stories, and in this audiobook, the best-selling author of Sadhana: A Way to God shares 124 stories and parables from a variety of traditions both ancient and modern. Each story resonates with life lessons that can teach us inescapable truths about ourselves and our world. De Mello's international acclaim rests on his unique approach to contemplation, and ability to heighten self-awareness and self-discovery. His is a holistic approach, and in the words of one reviewer, his mysticism cuts across all times and peoples, and is truly a universal invitation. The Song of the Bird uses the familiar yet enduring medium of the story to illustrate profound realities that bring us in touch with the problems and concerns of daily life, as well as with our common spiritual quest. The aim is to develop the art of tasting and feeling the message of each story to the point that we are transformed. Let the story speak to your heart, not to your brain, the author directs. This may make something of a mystic out of you. Beautifully narrated by Homer Todiwala, this is indeed a volume to treasure, to share, and to listen to many times over, for it is everyone's best companion on the road to spiritual growth. ©1982 Anthony de Mello. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont."

Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All Is Well

"Take a look around and see if you can find just one completely happy person, someone at peace with themselves, someone who is fearless and free from insecurity, depression, lack, and worry. You would be lucky if you found one in a hundred thousand. The irony is we were born happy; we lost touch with it. We were born surrounded by a divinity of peace, joy, and love; we lost sight of it. It's as if we've been hypnotized to see what is not there and not see what is there. We were brainwashed by society into building our life on the unquestioned belief that without money, power, success, approval, romance, etc., we cannot be happy. It's a false belief that has us constantly striving, constantly focused on what we don't have, constantly at the mercy of things and people as we try desperately to make life conform to society's formula for happiness, only to discover it offers nothing more in the way of a happy life than temporary respites from the fear of failing. Suppose there is a way of waking up from all that, where what is false and neurotic within you would drop with little or no effort on your part and your eyes would open to the reality of joy surrounding you. Here it is: Stop Fixing Yourself, the new book by Anthony De Mello that helps you rediscover the life you were meant to live."

Considéré comme l'un des grands maîtres spirituels de notre temps, il s'est rendu célèbre par ses cours, exercices et conférences sur la libération intérieure.

Il poursuit son auditeur jusque dans ses derniers refuges avec une perspicacité teinté d'ironie et de tendresse. Ce livre audio deviendra un compagnon de route indispensable pour qui veut cheminer dans la connaissance de soi."

Audiobook

[French] - Appel à l'amour

"Les dix méditations originales contenues dans ce titre audio sont aussi les mémoires d'un mystique qui a osé voir la réalité. Avec les années, leur auteur est devenu homme de compassion et d'amour, et ces réflexions jalonnent le chemin difficile qu'il a dû parcourir à la fin de sa vie pour se dépouiller de tout système de croyances, de toute idéologie, de toute dépendance, et naître ainsi à la vie, à l'amour, à la liberté, à la solitude. Ceux et celles qui ont connu Anthony De Mello ne s'étonneront pas de le voir bousculer les idées reçues. Aux réformateurs sociaux et aux révolutionnaires, chrétiens, hindous et athées, il propose une attitude fondamentale, la 'mystique de l'action désintéressée', qu'il juge indispensable à quiconque veut contribuer à édifier une société plus juste et plus humaine."

Anthony De Mello (Author), Gérard Poirier (Narrator)
