Conscious Living is a practical guide for the individual that brings new insights into a fundamental truth of daily life. Five simple lessons of "conscious living", rooted in the ancient traditions of Stoicism and Taoism, help us overcome obstacles and fears and awaken our own creativity.

An awake for this rush life we are having

Some of my favorite philosophers and used Gay’s work in my book Sage Advice and I use his work in my coaching. This is amazing work if you apply it and prove it to yourself. The results of your experiments will change your life as Gay suggests “prove it to yourself.”

Gurdjieff, Epictetus, and Rainer Maria Rilke

Hendricks work is wonderful with so much depth and honesty.

How on earth can the woeful narration get off first base?! It’s soooo bad!! What is audible thinking? He continually puts full stops where they don’t exist!t It often sounds quite bizarre.

Nonetheless I’m persevering for the sake of the content.... but boy is it hard!

I would love it if it could be re recorded so that I can feel free to recommend it to others!

Great book, WOEFUL narration

First of all I liked the narrator's voice immensely.

Gay Hendricks' theorems hit home in many ways. It helped too that I was in a guided class that was combined with In the Flow of Life, by Eric Butterworth.
I loved working through the various exercises he suggests along the way that bring me back to living in the present.
Too often while planning for our futures we forget to get beck to living in the present. The exercises helped me understand where I might have gotten lost in the future while looking at and emphasizing parts of my past. This allows me to see what my future can hold as long as I acknowledge my past influencers that have brought me to my current situation. We/ I can hit our/my homerun by acknowledging how I arrived at this point and what it's doing for my life now, then if I want to change it declare where I am and then declare the change I am making.
Becoming aware of how I am living and how I can make it better allows me to live consciously and well.

You might find the narrator a little bit of a goober to listen to but the content is great. Highly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve their personal relationship with the self as well as others.

Narrator is a bit of a goober but good stuff.

To live consciously is to be aware of your thoughts and feelings, embrace them, enjoy them (both the good and bad) and let them pass. Holding on to things causes many problems. That’s the key insight I received along with many others. I’m feeling great from it.

I love gay hendricks and all of his books. The narration was tough to listen to though. Going to purchase the paperback for future reference

Must read

The narration of the book is so very challenging because it sounds robotic. It helps a little to increase the speed, but I am giving up.

Get an actual paper copy of this book.

I was a skeptic when I started listening and now I can’t think of a concept more relevant to the human experience. I thought I was a radical going against the grain but I just wanted to escape the pain of reality, now I’m on the journey I longed for all along. Thank you Gay Hendricks for making this accesible to me! Honestly, I don’t think I would have read the book my wife gave me but I’ve listened to this twice and conscious loving three times now.
