About this listen

In today’s culture of instant gratification, where credit cards let you pay with money you don’t yet have, where articles have to be short or you’ll never read them, and where you spend more time deleting emails than you actually have for reading those you need to, patience has become a dying art. We’ve been trained to want something five minutes ago, though yesterday would be even better. Impatience has become ingrained in us.

Problem is, this isn't working to our benefit. From a health perspective, impatience contributes to stress, high blood pressure, and premature aging, among other deleterious impacts. From a psychological standpoint, impatience leads to unnecessary risks and poor decisions. From a social point of view, being impatient is a guaranteed way of losing friends and making enemies. It simply isn't an attractive trait.

But believe it or not, you have far greater control over your own character than you might be aware of, or that you probably care to admit. Fortunately, your mood, attitude, and knee jerk reactions are not set in stone. The impatience that you’ve learned can actually be unlearned. Even better, your bad habits can be replaced by good ones. It takes a little patience, of course, but I'm going to help you along the way. Let's get started!

Hey covers lots of topics in short order and it is very helpful. He hits the topics and list them different points and that’s good that’s all I needed. Excellent read on learning how to live free of lack. This was a good book for me today in my life.

I liked that the author was very straight to the point but also had a good sense of humor. I'm actively working to become a better listener and less angry overall and that has everything to do with being patient. I didn't even multitask while listening to this book because I wanted to really focus and absorb the information; the book is already working!

I can see myself repeat listening to be reminded.

Book said pretty much if you’re impatient, make a list and think about positive excuses for circumstances or scenarios that annoyed you.

Lacked entertainment and enthusiasm. Basic advice that most of us have been told or understood- maybe unless you have severe anger issues. Then it might be good to start with the basics.

The advice wasn’t mind blowing or insightful at all. Very obvious pointers.

This book is ideal if you have no idea what patience or impatience is, and if you do not know that taking a deep breath can help calm you. Other than that, this book has no value.
