I considered featuring this book as one of Iphelia.com’s Editor’s Bookshelf selections but have yet to finish it. The book is very well written and intriguing; however, I found I couldn’t stay the course as the book went deeper into the specifics (numbers, etc.) of shamanism. I hope to revisit it one day and finish what I started. Alberto Villoldo writes with obvious passion for his subject and is a gifted storyteller. Many will find what they’re looking for in The Heart of the Shaman’s pages.

This is a wonderful book. I have read several of the author's other books so was delighted when I found this one. The first part is full of history, stories and the authors experiences with shamans of the Amazon. The book is very well written with just the right amount of information and it held my interest all the way through. The second part included exercises and information about forming your own sacred dream and waking up from the slumber our lives have become. It is beautifully written and will resonate with many people. I will definitely read it again soon and would recommend it to everyone. Many Thanks

5 Stars. An interesting read that imparts the lush wisdom of the Andes along with anecdotes from the author’s experiences with Q'ero medicine man, Don Manuel. Shaman or not, if you havent given Alberto Villoldo’s books a go before, I urge you to give this one a try. Highly recommend.

This book shows you how to dream. It shows you how to find "your sacred dream". It is a wonderful joyful book. I loved it. I can't wait to read it again.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

An extraordinary book of dreaming about the things in life that we need. Health, love and security are things we hope for but are unable to find. Things we all want yet cannot seem to find. It's about joy and peace. Reading this book was an honor. I hope to be able to do the things that he is teaching. Anyone reading this book will see how to find that which we dream of. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation otherwise.
