Summary

Full of beautiful, heart-wrenching, and hilarious stories, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years details one man's opportunity to edit his life as if her were a character in a movie. Years after writing his best-selling memoir, Donald Miller went into a funk and spent months sleeping in and avoiding his publisher. One story had ended, and Don was unsure how to start another. But he gets rescued by two movie producers who want to make a movie based on his memoir. When they start fictionalizing Don's life for film - changing a meandering memoir into a structured narrative - the real-life Don starts a journey to edit his actual life into a better story.

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years details that journey and challenges listeners to reconsider what they strive for in life. It shows how to get a second chance at life the first time around.

A really interesting view on life

The author's voice at the beginning was a little off-putting, a bit monotone. Yet after this initial observation was forgotten about, the stories & his views on them were enlightening.
A really good read.

Not my usual genre

I rarely go for this kind of book but this was recommend on the Noah Kagan podcast so thought I'd give it a go.
I enjoyed this book enormously, the idea of living your story really struck a chord and I feel like it will help me to stop wallowing around and make some more interesting memories.

it's not Don's best book, but still a good one

you learn about good story telling and a little about what makes a life good. It's encouraging. In his books Blue Like Jazz and Crazy Close you will see Don more as he is even if he talks less about himself and and we can feel more of his diamonds, fears and hopes, but even in this book it's good to hear him giving insights in his experiences, his heart and in knowledge.

Seeing your world through stories will change your life.

I didn’t know about the book but it was recommended on a podcast. I took a chance and the book clicked instantly with how I saw the world through story telling, but it opened this small hole to a vaster universe of meaning, that a life with meaning is only one understood through a good story, or that you need to give your life a good story to find meaning in it, not just for yourself, but for those in your life and in your story. This is really well told and read. I struggle with complex books or topics but this is written well and it fell into my head like rain tap dancing on a tin roof. I will go back and listen to this again. I will quit my job and change my story and do something good, and hopefully help others change their story too.

Are you feeling stuck? Or perhaps adrift?

If you are feeling stuck or adrift then Donald Miller's earthy, self-depricating story-telling might just be what you need. I always listen with a wry smile.

Awesome narration

Notwithstanding a great and thought provoking piece the narrator was first class. Every word was read and gave the book more meaning than it has
