Insight from Hindsight

Stories That Reveal What Life Is Trying to Teach You

De: Bob Olson

Narrado por: Alan Adelberg

Bob Olson shares twenty-three of his favorite stories drawn from real-life experiences, each offering valuable insights about life. These stories reveal how everyday interactions and events can teach us profound lessons, transforming our perspectives. Through engaging, humorous, and sometimes thrilling narratives, he illustrates how reflecting on and writing about these experiences can uncover hidden wisdom-insight from hindsight. Ultimately, the book aims to entertain, uplift, and provide listeners with a new tool for personal guidance and growth, inspiring them to see their own experiences in a new light.

In the author's words: In the 1990s, I wrote an article about a woman from my neighborhood who had been killed in a hit-and-run accident, which was published in the local newspaper. When I wrote the story about my relationship with the woman, a powerful insight into everyday social interactions came through in my writing. It seemed like a stroke of luck that I learned a lesson about life by writing the story. I gained insight by looking at the story in hindsight.

Over time, I wrote dozens of stories about my real-life experiences that taught me insights about life. I even shared some of them with my audience over the years. I discovered that the wisdom I gained from these stories wasn’t a stroke of luck after all; gaining insight became an expected result of the process I underwent in writing about my experiences.

While I’ve written dozens of stories, this book contains twenty-three of my favorites. These stories have been known to engage minds, warm hearts, and make people feel better about humanity. More importantly, however, these stories are examples of the transformative insights hidden below the surface of our experiences..

I look forward to sharing these stories with you,
Bob Olson

Simple AND Profound

I’ve been familiar with this author for years, through podcasts and his writings. This book is my favorite, so far. I just shared it with my 31 yo daughter. I’m 74 and our time together in this life is limited. These stories and insights are all that I would hope to pass on to her and more. Bob, I believe is one of my spiritual “peeps” and his wisdom and love never fail to show through in his work. This serves humanity to help guide us to our highest purpose. Thanks to both Bob and Melissa for being such gifted listeners to their inner voices. XXOO
