Audio book does not match the written book

I bought the Kindle edition of the book 1-2 years ago but never got around to finishing it (just read small sections). When I saw this audio version [has the exact title of the Kindle version], I thought of getting it and listen to the sections I skipped from the book but so far - I got the audio version yesterday - I found that the audio and the Kindle versions do not match.
Not sure why :(
It usually is not the case.

Fresh and uncomplicated

Everything about this book breaks the mold of traditional teachings about awakening.
The author is the narrator. His enthusiasm and vitality shine all the way through. Easy as pie to understand right off the bat,as there are none of the traditional terms to learn nor traditional terms used in a new way. One can pick it up and use it after just one chapter. I've studied and practiced a lot of different teachings on this subject and was often at a loss as to how to apply there understanding to my everyday life. Not so with Jeff Fosters's approach. I could start using it right away, and by the end of the book, he had covered every area and circumstance that i have ever found myself in or find myself in, today. I don't need any of the hundreds of books and recordings I have waded through for the last 33 years!

The Deepest Acceptance

This was my next step. I have been seeking for the truth through in The Course in Mircles
Unity The St Germaine books all my life. The paradox is I forgot to live & experience the present moment

Profound Truth. Freeing.

What did you love best about The Deepest Acceptance?

Foster really addresses the core of the free life, acceptance, in a way that is accessible to the layman and practitioner a like. Spoken with a peaceful British accent, it's an inviting audio that reminded me to be gentle with myself and lured me into self-acceptance in a refreshing way.

What did you like best about this story?

He busts the common myth of good vs. bad emotion, and really drives home that acceptance in the here and now is the ideal orientation...rather than trying to be happy all the time.

Have you listened to any of Jeff Foster’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. This is my first time to hear Jeff Foster.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

That every situation, every emotion that comes up during the day, is just a wave in the ocean that is life. Resisting a situation or an emotion, is as futile as resisting a wave in the open water. Recognize every wave is a part of who I am, and accept what I'm feeling and going through, in the here and now.

Any additional comments?

The audiobook seems repetitive to me. Seems like he's saying essentially the same thing many times over. It's a good message to hear though.

So sorry to be negative....

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The book was so expensive. He seems like a kind and gentle soul, but he repeats the same stuff over and over again and his voice starts to really push down, rather than lift up. I am so determined to overcome some issues that have been plaguing me and I believe mindfulness and meditation are the best paths forward. For that reason I was determined to hang in there. But I could only get about halfway through and had to stop. I couldn't listen to it for another minute. I really did not find this audio book to be helpful.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'm open to many new ideas. I love Pema Chodron, and will probably listen to all of her stuff.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Please see first comment above.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Again, see above.

Any additional comments?

I wish him only the best, but this audio book was expensive, and I felt the review of it was necessary for future potential consumers.

Helpful message

Drove me a bit crazy with the repetition. Would love to read/hear a well edited version.

Repetitive, but very good

Are you interested of listening to hours of your true nature talking to you through a different body mind than yours? If you are, then this is the right audiobook for you. If you have never heard of Jeff Foster then I think this would be a great introduction to his work. I am a deep and committed follower of Adyashanti, if you like his or Eckhart Tolle's work you should like this. Jeff does get very, very repetitive about the wave and ocean analogy, but you can't really blame him because the apology is as good as any other that describes what's it's like to experience from our true nature.

Probably reflects on me

I know most of his listeners loved this book, based on the stars, but I found it to be repetitive and not very engaging. I got the whole idea of being the ocean and not the waves, but it didn’t resonate that much for me, so the repetition of this idea (I hung in there for six chapters) was tiresome. I wouldn’t recommend listening to this while driving, either, as the author’s voice was a bit hypnotic.

No lo entiendo...

Sinceramente tenía muchas ilusiones con este libro porque había leído lindas reflexiones escritas por el autor. Lamentablemente no pude entender la profundidad del mensaje en detalle. Por supuesto que sí el concepto general, pero luego lo encontré sumamente repetitivo sobre lo mismo y no pude ir más allá.
