From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations.

Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Story
If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Great listen!
Loved listening to this book on my road trip down to Florida. The author's tone is engaging and entertaining throughout. It was interesting to see what Brett's exercise regimen looks like, and it inspired me to refresh my routines. Highly recommend it for anyone who is struggling with addiction or has in the past. A real eye-opening book.

Important work
The author tells his story unashamed and raw. Hopefully his story can reach others and help them find their way. I’ve lost two close friends and one family member to alcohol and hope this book can reach as many people as possible.

Overcoming addiction through fitness routine
The Fitness Routine That Got Me out of Addiction, into Recovery, and How to Create Your Own by Brett Grau is an intimate story of a brave man who overcame alcohol and weed addiction through sports. I think personal stories are very important when it comes to addiction because they show how exactly it was 'before' and the whole way to becoming 'after'. The second part of the book is about the different possibilities of starting a healthy lifestyle, tips and tricks to avoid addiction triggers and finding your way to be passionate about health and sports.
Here is my favourite quote: "Alcohol is so ingrained into our society that people are baffled and must ask you, “Why you’re not drinking?” Those in early sobriety absolutely hate the question and it can be a deterrent to sobriety. It’s like being forced into a full therapy session without a therapist and in front of a crowd of people. Well, here’s an easy answer, “I’m on a health and fitness kick.”
Overall the audiobook is easy, enjoyable listening that triggers your mind and inspires you to make a change and be aware. The ideas of simple fitness routines are affordable for anyone and simple to start and to follow.

An Inspirational Tearjerker
The author's story had me feeling emotional right from the start. You need this sort of emotion in order to trigger the changes you'd like to make in yourself.
He goes on to pragmatically explain how he overcame his alcohol and marijuana addictions and refocused that energy into something great. There are some really cool practical workout suggestions, even incorporating things such as chores/housework, yoga, and sex.
I found this book to be highly inspirational, and I've gotten some great ideas from it which I will implement in my own life!

He takes a different route to sobriety, incorporating fitness with his sobriety maintenance. The author provides a systematic and doable program for those who are striving to begin and/or maintain their sobriety. A book definitely worth the listening!
