Insight and empathy spring from the clash of different perspectives. In a world where it's easier than ever for people to share their opinions, we should be reaping the benefits of diverse views. Instead, we too often find ourselves mired in hostility or - worse - avoiding disagreement altogether. Ian Leslie argues that this is because most of us never learn how to air our differences in a way that leads to progress.

Story
Legions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop.

Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

If there is one thing that most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff - the latest, the newest, the best yet - is all too often peddled as the surefire route to happiness. So why then, in our consumer-driven society, is depression, stress and anxiety ever more common, affecting every strata of society and every age, even, worryingly, the very young?

In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us - people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits - all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole. Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps.

Summary
In this Audible Original audiobook, Emma J. Bell tackles the ultimate question: why go through life merely surviving, when you could be thriving?
Drawing on the insights of 50 inspiring people who have suffered a wide range of trauma but are thriving nonetheless, Emma J. Bell has extracted nine enlightening secrets from their experiences. You’ll listen as they talk about how they found renewed purpose in life; how they learned to forgive rather than hold on to resentment; and how they developed practices to create calm and live authentically. Whether you want to apply their life changing lessons to your relationships, your work or the way you deal with setbacks or challenging past experiences, each story offers something different and inspiring for you to draw on.
These nine secrets, and the easy to apply practices that accompany them, will help you live your life to the fullest. If you no longer want to settle for just going through the motions and living on autopilot, and if you are determined to thrive instead, this is the audiobook for you!

Inspiring and full of invaluably helpful lessons
Emma has taken some of the most jaw-dropping tales of adversity and from each draws out some powerful lessons in survival and mental robustness. The audiobook is superbly narrated and that really brings the stories to life, the fact that it also contains the thrivers recounting their own tips and lessons in their own voice just makes it all the more powerful.
Couldn’t stop listening to it and have bookmarked lessons that were particularly relevant to me and will revisit them in times of stress or difficulty.

Pick & Mix
I always make the mistake with this type of book by thinking that all of it is relevant to me, but then I realise, because I don't have many problems (some may disagree!) that most of it isn't & a lot just seems like common sense. I'm sure a lot of people get a lot from it though & Emma seems like a very likeable person. I disagree with the bit about keeping a journal though, I did it for a few years (don't know why really) then found I was getting stressed with remembering to do it every day. I then realised I never looked at it & it was totally pointless so I stopped. Also don't agree with the bit at the end about spiritualism & religion and found myself thinking 'Oh, is this what this is all about then, trying to push religion?'

A look at the bigger picture
I have gained so much from listening g to this incredible production - It’s so easy to get caught up in our heads about what we can’t do and what we should do - it’s so easy to forget what we can focus on - these stories give us real insight to people choosing to thrive after incredible hard situations -people choosing to love life ! Love themselves and love others - some might say they have discovered that yes hell is on earth but so is heaven and we get to choose where we live most - they choose heaven ! I was so humbled by the stories and love how Emma Bell is weaving all of these secrets into her life daily!

An inspiring way to personally grow
Emma has a calming and positive way of sharing with you the harrowing story of the 50 individuals and the resources they choose to use to enable them to thrive not just survive or go under from their ordeals.
Hopefully some new insights will be revealed to; other insights will reinforce those you know; and other insights will be a reminder, a reawakening of things you knew however have for sometime forgotten. It’s definitely a book I will enjoy listening to again in a year or 2 time.
