Gets Down to the Real Meaning

Fantastic interviews and ideas. Get out to nature now, be your true self, and live a more enriching life.

Pretty good but..

I enjoyed all chapters except for the one about “walking with weight” (aka rucking). The interviewee made no sense and the whole chapter sounded like an advertisement for their upcoming app.

Food for thought

When you think about how you can weaponize discomfort, it can become a way increase your potential

Great

This was interesting and engaging. I’ll definitely be listening to it again and will carry forward it’s lessons

Powerful definitely works. I’ve been doing it without knowing it and it’s good to put a language with what I was feeling.

The fact that audible will not just let me give a star rating they want me to do it paragraph and a half while I’m driving down the road because I like the book and I want to give them stars and then I wanna move on. I don’t wanna write a book about the book, just remember something will happen today

Would love this as a recurring series!

Binged through this series in a matter of hours. Would love to see this as a recurring audible series 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Making your life more of a challenge increases vitality

I could identify with what extreme athletes endure and be inspired to try harder to increase my physical trans mental training.

I have some work to do.

A lot of good information and some good ways to make small changes that will improve your life.

So helpful!

I loved both of Michael Easter’s books, and was excited to see this pop up for free on Audible! It was awesome to hear from the expert in their own voice. Very grateful for finding this!

Enlightening and informative

It was definitely informative and inspiring and confirmed many of the things I’m already doing if you’re struggling in life (especially with weight loss) give this a listen. It will help every little thing helps. Only downside to this book was it felt like half of it was just clips from his podcast. Not that theirs anything wrong with that I’m just not a fan of podcasts.
