O.A. Bud Ham
About this listen
In his rustic, storyteller fashion, Bud Ham shows listeners how to reduce or eliminate fear in their lives by the simple process of making love-based decisions.
"The passion of my mission had its roots in my youth when I rejected the dogma and doctrine of organized religion. I drifited in and out of several Christian denominations, always seeking answers to questions which religious people could not answer to my satisfaction. My joy and enthusiasm for life and learning have been sharply curtailed by the sobering reality that we live in a troubled world from which I cannot escape. I frequently think of the many children who go to sleep hungry every night, many of them wet and cold. I also think about the many sons and daughters of God who wander homeless, hungry, and confused in every major city.
I am also painfully aware of the horrendous wave of violence sweeping the country, bringing unspeakable pain to victims and perpetrators. I pray for both. I also pray for the safety of the policemen and policewomen who are caught up in the mayhem.
The mission of my writing was to tell people there must be, there had to be, a better way. I believe what we are doing as a society isn't working and so we must try something different. I am locked into a mind-set which tells me, if what we are doing isn't working it's just common sense to experiment, test, try something different, but don't continue doing what isn't working.
If you chose to learn and grow toward the quality of life you desire to create, where you are now is the right place. It cannot be otherwise. You are in the starting gate. The only questions are, will you decide to run? If so, when?"

Story
Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier - maybe even a lot happier. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it. Breaking through resistance, Kelly tells us, is essential to becoming the person that God created us to be. What is resistance? It's that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you.

Women have made great strides toward equal rights over the past 100 years, especially in the West. But when considering the ongoing fight over reproductive rights and equal pay - and the prevalence of sexual violence and domestic abuse - it is clear that a significant gap still exists. With scripture often cited as justification for the marginalization of women, it is time to acknowledge that one of the final barriers to full equality for women is religion.

I especially loved his suggestion to ask your partner or child to be your consultant (to improve intimacy) - to ask them how you are doing as a partner/parent and accept their comments.
I initially hesitated to request this book. So often self-help books, etc., blather on with the “if you do as I say, you too can improve your life...” or “in a moment I will explain...” and it takes 20/22 chapters until they do so, and then the content is still often lacking. The narrator, Mr. Bosco, suggested I listen to this and said he thought I would enjoy the book, so I decided to trust him. He was correct. If the book was edited down to only the suggestions or self improvement recommendations, the book would probably be an hour long, but I think then it would loose some validity. There is a degree of “where are you going with this” but hearing his background and experiences gives context and truth-fullness. And not once did he throw out one of the “Seen-On-TV style sales-pitchy” comments.
This is the second book I’ve listened to by this narrator and I would gladly listen to another. In fact, I have one in my library queue right now. He does a great job narrating this content to keep it engaging and flowing well.
He speaks clearly so I was able to increase the listening speed to 1.5x without difficulty understanding what was being said.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

This was an interesting listen. The book is definitely autobiographical but told more from a parable perspective. As in, the author relays life experiences to get across his ultimate message. It lends a "speaking from experience" feel to the content and made it resonate more with me than it would had he just told people what to do. The introspective feel, and the excellent narration are what makes this book for me.
A nice listen
