Über diesen Titel
Brought to you by Penguin.
From Robert Sheehan, star of Misfits and The Umbrella Academy, and host of hit podcast The Earth Locker, comes a heartfelt journey to inner peace.
In Playing Dead, Robert Sheehan shares intimate reflections on his search for purpose, looking back at the adventures – and misadventures – of his life so far, and sharing the profoundly transformative lessons he has learnt along the way.
Meditation is at the heart of Robert's route to spiritual awakening. In Playing Dead he reveals the turbulence in his life that led him to seek calm and tranquility within. A beautiful, meandering memoir reflecting a rich tapestry of experience, uncovering how spirituality has become his anchor in the constant moving tide. Combining storytelling with letters, poetry, childhood memories and thoughtful musings on fame.
Through this compelling description of his quest for inner stillness, Robert shows us how we can welcome a practice of meditation into our own lives, with tools for soothing your nervous system and focusing a fretful mind. In a world where our attention is constantly up for grabs, Playing Dead shows how we can give our souls the deep rest we crave.
'A wit and wisdom that harkens back to an age of enlightenment' – RON PERLMAN, ACTOR
'A meditation guide from a man with a mind most unlikely to be conducive to meditation' – MANCHÁN MAGAN, WRITER AND BROADCASTER
'In this beautifully written story, Robert Sheehan shares his journey from chaos to stillness and how meditation can lead us to a place of connection and calm' – DEB DANA, AUTHOR OF ANCHORED
Playing Dead is a very personal book that describes Robert Sheehan's (ongoing) journey with meditation and is at the same time packed with in-depth knowledge conveyed in his unique very pleasant and entertaining style of storytelling. As with everything he tackles, Robert Sheehan obviously wholeheartedly embraced writing this book and clearly put a ton of time, thought, knowledge and work into it. And the result is absolutely awesome!
Having been a copy editor myself, I usually can't help but wanting to edit texts I read, but not Playing Dead. It not only has an extremely interesting and fascinating content, but is also extraordinarily well executed and perfectly balanced as Sheehan dances masterfully between personal anecdotes, descriptions of his meditation practices, bits of knowledge and short poems.
Interestingly this audiobook has been way more helpful for my own meditation practice than many actual “self-development” books, that claim to teach meditation. Of course, the fact that Robert Sheehan himself reads this is a huge plus for this audiobook, which makes it even more entertaining.
Playing Dead is perfect for everyone looking for some guidance on meditation, who doesn't resonate with classic approaches or methods. And for everyone who doesn't appreciate being lectured but rather want to learn from someone else's experience. It is perfect for everyone who is interested highly interesting musings from a very talented actor on the art of acting. But also for everyone who cares about the environment and the preservation/restoration of nature.
I am thrilled, that Robert is mentioning the absolutely brilliant concept of micro forests (tiny forests), which hopefully will be applied in every town and city of the planet to enhance biodiversity and wellbeing of people.
A truly magnificent audiobook which I'll definitely be listening to multiple times!
An entertaining and insightful masterpiece
