It would be great if ‘not thinking ‘ was this easy . I understand his concept but I didn’t find this helpful in any way. In fact , I listened twice to make sure I didn’t miss something. It really just made me more anxious and angry.

The story was interesting and had great concepts in regard to living a fulfilled life . I wasn’t expecting the turns it took.
My only change would be NOT to have a musical interlude to indicate chapter changes. I listen to fall asleep and it was so startling !

Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Predictable romance

I don’t go for romance novels so I’m not a fair judge of this book. But, if you like that sort of story it’s ok.
Not my cup of tea.

Story
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

Blown Away
Reviewed: 01-20-18
I was totally blown away by this book. The writing, the honesty and insight of Bruce’s story is unrivaled. It was made even better by his narration. I had a new friend telling me a story that I did not want to end.
I will suggest that all my friends read it whether they are into his music or not. The poignancy of his love and revelation for his father alone makes this a great read .
