Summary

"You know those people who always radiate cheerful optimism? Nauseating, aren't they?" So proclaims Isabel Losada, Starbucks addict, exercise-allergic and self-confessed sceptic as she sets out on the road to enlightenment. This work is suitable for those who have been tempted to dip a toe in the waters of self-discovery.

The paperback was good, the audio book is great

If you could sum up The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment in three words, what would they be?

Insightful, Humorous, Eloquent. Lightly humorous, gently insightful, beautifully read by the author.

What other book might you compare The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment to, and why?

There's nothing else in my audio library quite like this book.

Have you listened to any of Isabel Losada’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is Isabel's first Audible book ... and I sincerely hope not her last!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"A weekender's voyage of discovery"

Any additional comments?

I look forward to hearing "For Tibet With Love" next.

Very Convincing Performance by the Narrator

The narrator in this Audio version seems to understand Isabel very well and gives a very convincing performance as Isabel. So convincing intact that it could almost be the author herself reading it. ;-)

Engaging, thought provoking and entertaining

Any additional comments?

Love this very engaging and thought provoking as well as occasional laugh out loud. Really well written and I really enjoyed Isobels style.

Road to Battersea (of enlightenment)

My wife and I enjoyed listening to Isabel read to us very much (she's a natural story teller). I didn’t think I would be able to just sit and listen, but Isabel made the experience relaxing and fun, even thought we had read the book ourselves a few years ago (it was great to revisit); now I’m hooked.

One of my favourite book

Where does The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment is funny, witty and so engaging. It made me smile and cry. :) I would have liked it to go on forever. This is a book I get for my friends birthday and Christmas. I highly recommend this Audiobook!

What about Isabel Losada’s performance did you like?

The voice is relaxing and engaging. It's also really nice to hear the writer herself go through the story.

She's brilliant

I loved Isabel's books, but hearing her read her own book is even better. She's passionate, funny and interesting, and I highly recommend this! You might even learn a thing or two about yourself, too!

An Exploration of Many Roads to Enlightenment...

Where does The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Amongst the very best. Isabel's enthusiasm and humour are present throughout her audio Delivery....err except when she's depressed, withdrawn, serious, etc. Excellent entertainment if you're interested in any of Isabel's Books, becoming Enlightened, seeking Happiness, or Self Improvement in general.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment?

Far too many to mention, But for a Journalist, Isabel has the disarming knack of relaying each and every embarrassing detail of her journey through various treatments and courses on her quest to Enlightenment. She holds nothing back and leaves herself wide open for those with a critical view. This makes you feel like you're listening to a friend.

Which character – as performed by Isabel Losada – was your favourite?

The Book and Audiobook are both mainly based on Isabel's first hand experiences. With additional input from various friends, family etc.

(But I'm really looking forward to her portrayal of HH The Dalai Lama, in her next audiobook).

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I have all of Isabel's Books and have enjoyed them all immensely. But listening to her first Audio Book was a joy.

Any additional comments?

Excellent in every way.
