About this listen
I am going to turn your world upside down. There have been countless books and articles written on how to solve your problems. Most of them detail expedient methods to rid yourself of the worries that concern you or how to box up your anxieties and quickly move on.
Positive thinking is a big factor, too. Always a good idea, but moving forward and not analyzing the cause may lead to a lesson not learned.
At the end, most of the programs center on to how to get back on your feet and make more money than you have ever dreamed of.
This book is different. Not that the others are bad or useless. Just that this book is different. It rests on an altered premise; life is a planned series of trials.
Trials or more precisely, deliberate classes to teach you exactly what you need to learn. All set up beforehand by the Supreme Intelligence.
Contrary to what most of us have been taught, we aren’t here to merely be born into a random family, survive childhood, escape our teenage years without major injury, and then it’s off to the world to be successful. We are on Earth, just as we were in previous lives, to modify ourselves. We are tasked to completely internalize the need to be a better, kinder, charitable, and honest soul.
To achieve this worthy goal takes more than one, two, three, or a dozen lives. It is a long process and each successive life brings its own types of schooling. The worst parts of your life are where you absorb the most difficult lessons. It is these times, to take stock of who we are and what we are being guided to learn.
Shrugging off a trial you have escaped unhurt and not being cognizant of the consequences of your behavior, in this life or in the past, that caused a challenging time constitutes a failure. This lack of self-awareness is a bomb that lies dormant and will explode later in your present or next life.
I am not telling you to enjoy bad times. I am pleading with you to look at them like running a marathon or an Ironman triathlon. Where the pain can be excruciating, the competition tough, and the bruises are evident on your body. But, at the end you feel that you made it, you lived up to your expectations, and you learned about the extent that you can push yourself.
The Spirituality has set our predestined lives to achieve exactly that. Before you were born, you signed up for the race and now, whether you like it or not, you have to complete it.
You are not allowed exit or take shortcuts. You don’t even want to know the penalties for departing early. So it’s time to get serious and throw our heart into the race. Be victorious and claim the prize that the spirit world says is a hundredfold more than any pain you experienced.
In this book, you will learn to analyze why you are experiencing, or have been through, the following types of events:
- Financial problems
- Failed relationship(s)/marriage(s)
- Family problems
- Illnesses – physical and mental
- Career setbacks
- Addiction
- Stress
And in doing so, you shall be able to make the first step in analyzing what you should have learned and how it will make you a better person. You are a spirit who will eventually return to the real world, the spirit world, ready to climb up the ladder to become a pure spirit.

Story
In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up".

Story
Marianne Williamson is a best-selling author, a world-renowned teacher, and one of the most important spiritual voices of our time. In Tears to Triumph, she argues that we - as a culture and as individuals - have learned to avoid facing pain. By doing so we are neglecting the spiritual work of healing. Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt, we numb it, medicate it, dismiss it, or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have to face it.

Stoicism is an active philosophy. That means that it is not enough to know its doctrines; one must also live them and develop habits that expand on and complete their ideas in practice. Practice, therefore, is also the focus of this audiobook, as well as the development of the listener's inner and outer lives, that they may follow their own path and discover what it means to “live life in accordance with nature”. You will discover Stoicism and how to apply it.

A wonderful insight into life's challenges!
I love all of Brian's book, and this one is no exception. It makes rational sense of the many challenges we face in our daily lives. Narrated by Brian in his own way, a great book, very easy to listen too, and very informative.
