About this listen

In this broken world, each of us has the same moment-by-moment choice. We can either unfurl the white flag of surrender and allow the bad things to roll over us or we can dig in our heels, stand our ground, and put up a fight. How? It's all about the attitude we decide to embrace. We can't change the inevitable. But we can change how we respond.

After all, life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. Since pastor and bestselling author Charles Swindoll wrote those inspiring words, they've been shared over sixty-five million times across the globe. Now, join Swindoll as he explores the life-changing impact of looking at life through the lens of our reactions.

This isn't your average self-help book. Each chapter of Life Is 10% What Happens to You and 90% How You React is filled with timeless teachings, applicable Scripture, and thoughtful reflection questions. Reimagined from content found in Swindoll's bestsellers Active Spirituality and Laugh Again, Life Is 10% What Happens to You and 90% How You React gives you the tools and encouragement you need to:

  • Find joy no matter what season you're living through
  • Overcome life's dilemmas and build inner resilience
  • Defuse disharmony and free yourself from drama
  • Maintain balance, extend grace to yourself, and be prosperous
  • Lean on your Christian faith and its foundational views

Within this book, Swindoll isn't promising joy or endless bliss. Instead, he offers practical wisdom that will equip you with the basic fundamentals to make better decisions, move past your past, and find peace in every day. Because life isn't simply about what happens to you...it's about how you react.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Most insightful, balanced book I’ve ever read

I’ve been waiting for this since I first heard Chucks quote back in 2002. This book delivers on an intimate level with the listener.

One of those books that needs to be re-read

So much value in this book! One of those books I should probably read or listen to yearly.

Chuck Swindoll’s teaching voice

The orator has a nice voice but really appreciate Chuck Swindoll speaking his own words because of his voice, reflective remarks & historical context. He has a tremendous voice in my history as a Christian!

Good but...

I simply love Dr. Charles Swindoll. But truly did not care for the narration. His voice sounded tiresome and weary. He sounded like he had something in his mouth. The content was very good and encouraging.
