The Emerald Tablet

Alchemy for Personal Transformation

By: Dennis William Hauck

Narrated by: Barry Morrison

The Emerald Tablet—an ancient document that contains the essence of the alchemical teachings—has had an important influence on many Western spiritual and religious traditions. Ostensibly concerned with turning base metals into gold, alchemy was in fact dedicated to transforming the lead of self into the gold of spirit. This brilliant history of alchemy traces its sources back to ancient Egypt, and presents alchemy as a useful, practical system of self-transformation. Each of the seven steps of alchemical transformation is explained, with hands-on techniques and exercises, treating alchemy as a living discipline for achieving a spiritual awakening.

Sounded like an AI reader

Suspect that the reader is AI and the name given as the narrator is to hide that fact. very disappointed in that.

Good material, terribly read

Some very interesting research and personal stories, a few mistakes, such as calling the book Iron John by Robert Bly, Ironman by John Bly. But the real problem with this audio is the constant mispronunciation. It sounds like bad AI that can’t tell the difference between when lead should be sounded as leed or led (as in the metal), which comes up frequently, including numerous other examples—and the basic concept of proper inflection and timing made it very difficult to finish. Better to read the book for oneself.

AI generated voice spoiled it

I absolutely love this book. I have the kindle edition as well as the paperback. I was so excited to see it as an audiobook and purchased it without hesitation.

But a computer voice just kills it.

AI narrator ruined this

The content in this book should be read by everyone, but find another audio version or buy the physical book. The AI narrator ruins pronunciation often and makes the read feel unnatural and hard to get through. Audible is not being fully honest as they do not list it as AI narration which is false advertising. Wish I could get my money back to read the physical book.

An unfortunate AI narration.

Great information, too bad the narrator was AI. Monotone with lots of mispronounciations. Such poor treatment for an excellent author!
