Story
Most of us live with the stubborn idea that we'll always have tomorrow to do our most important and valuable work. We fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it’s time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

Think of The War of Art as tough love...for yourself. Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat "resistance"; to recognize and knock down dream-blocking barriers and to silence the naysayers within us. Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

Present moment awareness is an essential ingredient in life if one expects to experience any degree of authentic peace and contentment. It has been acknowledged for centuries as the cornerstone of spiritual awakening in all traditions of Eastern thought. In the West, however, it is still a relatively unrecognized concept for living. The Western mind is always restless, never content with the moment.

In Try Softer, you'll learn how to: know and set emotional and relational boundaries; make sense of the difficult experiences you've had; identify your attachment style-and how that affects your relationships today; move through emotions rather than get stuck by them; and grow in self-compassion and talk back to your inner critic. Trying softer is sacred work. And while it won't be perfect or easy, it will be worth it. Because this is what we were made for: a living, breathing, moving, feeling, connected, beautifully incarnational life.

This is great.
Thank you so much Allison. This book is like a bauble to me. It’s simply a recurrent read, it’s encyclopaedic and a reference guide every now and then. The depth to which you go into the stories, the expression, and your tone of voice is simply great. The details and connections you make in your stories and language is really good.
I benefitted hugely from this. You write the book as if you knew me or had me in mind at time of writing. Very original and genuine.
I almost dropped this audio book in the first 5min when I started reading it. I had judged the book by its cover :). I taught it was one of those boring books that really don’t say much or have much of depth. The tone of voice was a bit awkward for me and not soothing at all. I don’t know if it’s the voice and tone of your read or the contents itself that makes this material so good to read. The content is excellent and the tone of voice is Great. Lol, Indestructible is already on my listening list. Thank God you mentioned it here, I wouldn’t have known about it probably otherwise.
Keep it up. You are God sent.
Thanks
