About this listen

Written with wisdom, warmth, and clarity, this inspirational and practical handbook offers tools for overcoming problems and enjoying more fulfilling lives. Judy Tatelbaum contends that while hurt is inevitable in life, suffering is not. We cannot control our circumstances and tragedies, but we can choose how much we suffer over them. The author suggests "We can use powerful experiences like losses, illness, hardship, and disappointment as stepping stones to our own growth."

Editor reviews

Judy Tatelbaum is a psychotherapist and author who has made a career out of helping people heal. In this audiobook, performed by the acclaimed narrator Cassandra Campbell, Tatelbaum guides listeners back from the brink of their life crises, whether they’re recently divorced, bereaved, or prone to self-destruction.

Campbell’s warmth coaxes listeners into a state of openness and comfort, much like the voice of a good therapist. She has performed more than 100 audiobooks and has won three Best Voice awards. In this performance she leads listeners away from regret and toward self-acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately, to peace.

The story is very engaging and helpful but the narrator's voice is very mechanic and monotonous, as if narrated by a robot.

Very good book

A real comfort & game changer

Might work for first world whites living in safe communities who only dealt with one-time events they need to get over. Author even recommends inventing a fake past if yours isn't happy enough. People forgiving and forgetting the bad and what causes it makes history repeat itself.

Stopped without finishing because this approach can be even harmful. If you got CPTSD, have Dark Triad people in your life or are experiencing systemic abuse on a permanent basis, you need a more grounded and realistic approach.
