Summary

Get on the path to being well.

We’re the most technologically advanced society in history, but we’ve never been more stressed, medicated, or lonely. We have 1,000 Facebook friends but no one to help us move our couch. The pace of life is making us exhausted.

We’re all carrying the weight of our trauma based on the stories we were told by others and the ones we tell ourselves—and those stories are like bricks in a backpack that keep us from being happy and healthy. In his new book, national best-selling author Dr. John Delony provides a clear, five-step path to being well.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Redefine what trauma is and how to identify it in your life.
  • Grieve and heal from past hurt and trauma.
  • Make friends as an adult—it’s not easy, but it is necessary.
  • Change your thoughts—it’s possible.
  • Assess and evaluate your actions—these can change too.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. Your thoughts and actions will be challenged. And if you take the steps John outlines, you’ll learn how to leave the past where it belongs and get on the path to healing.

Incredible

I’ve listened to Dr John Delony’s podcast since the beginning and couldn’t wait to hear this. I was not disappointed. This book articulates how the brain stores and acts on trauma in such a simple and understandable way. Everything in this book makes so much sense and I can’t wait to relisten again to take more away and incorporate these steps into my life.

Engaging, highly information-filled and actionable

I've enjoyed it so far, can't wait to listen to the remaining chapters. Challenges a lot of "stories" we hear or tell ourselves.
Narration was odd at first but after a few chapters I could see that the nuance of Dr. Delony reading his own book is more important than a professional narrator.

A heartfelt book and performance

I came across John Delony on my YouTube feed, just a couple of days ago and really liked his passion and sincerity when in discussion with a relatively newly married couple.

I decided to look into some of his books, and have found this book to be very enlightening. He is extremely warm and infectious, with a genuine desire to help others, which is easy to hear in his book. I have listened to it once, and I will listen to it again many times I’m certain. This next listen, I will be doing the exercises and taking the time to write down the questions, and more importantly, give the time required for my truthful answers. I am looking forward to my journey, in an attempt to leave loneliness and pain in the past. Only time will tell if I get there, but without moving forward, I’m only sitting still.

If you are considering buying this book, you really should just do it. There will definitely be something in here for literally anyone that decides to listen to it. Thank you very much for an inspiring, warm and heartfelt message Dr John Delony

Engaging, encouraging; pragmatic

Dr John Delony writes a terrifically vibrant narrative, blending personal experience with gentle compassionate trustworthy advice. Dr Delony's narration is a real treat which brings the narrative alive and adds to the ambiance of the book. Totally engaging, encouraging, and pragmatic. Will certainly listen again.

Nothing new.

Nothing new. Repeats himself. This type of thing has been done before. But better. Very disappointed.
