About this listen
Please note: This is an analysis and key takeaways of the book and not the original book.
Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Shauna Niequist's Present over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "About the Author" section.
About the book summarized here: Those familiar with Brene Brown's Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, or work on shame, vulnerability, empathy, and resilience, might wonder if Shauna Niequist read or listened to Brown's book and immediately sat down to write her own book, Present over Perfect. Then a more astute listener might go back and listen again to the foreword, from Brene Brown. Niequist calls Present over Perfect a love story about letting us be loved with all our imperfections.
Self-help Christianity might be the best classification of this book: an honest, heartfelt sharing of one woman's realization that she can't have it all and the deliberate process of redefining her life. At 36, Shauna Niequist was a successful writer, speaking at colleges, retreats, and churches; she was also at her breaking point, stressed to the point of physical ailments. She had tried the external tricks of busy moms - better time management, having the cleaners come more often - but when reaching out for guidance, what spoke to her most was her mentor's suggestion that she remake her life from the inside out. Niequist chronicles her three-plus-year journey in a series of vignettes, many crafted while on vacations or retreats, that focus on what she had to leave behind to make her life more meaningful, connected, present, and deeply grounded in God's love.

Story
Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

It's no secret that women today are juggling a lot. We now make up more than half the workforce in the United States and are busier than ever with partners, children, family and friends, often putting the needs of others ahead of our own. And if we feel overwhelmed by it all or fall short of perfection, many of us have learned to be our own worst critic rather than our own best friend. In Warrior Goddess Training, best-selling author HeatherAsh Amara provides the antidote to the flawed idea that you are not enough.

An increasing number of American Christians are frustrated. Even as they read their Bibles, listen to sermons, and hang out with other Christians, they become painfully aware that something is missing: joy. As a result, many have given up on their faith being a source of joy, and instead they seek meaning, purpose, and joy through their Christian service, work, relationships, hobbies, possessions, or even more destructive and hollow substitutes.

The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything shows us how this is possible, with user-friendly examples, humorous stories and anecdotes from the heroic and inspiring lives of Jesuit saints and average priests and brothers, as well as examples from Martin's twenty years as a Jesuit. The traditional wisdom that Jesuits use to help other people in their daily lives is easily applied, but not often explained well to the general public.

NOT A FAN!
I wasn't a fan of the noncharismatic narrator or choppy pieced together recording. My energy was best suited to read the actual book which was wonderful.
