Live Free

Exceed Your Highest Expectations

By: DeVon Franklin

Narrated by: DeVon Franklin

The best-selling author returns with his biggest book yet in which he teaches us the secret to living a happier life: Get rid of as many expectations as possible - of ourselves, our future, our relationships, our career, and our family.

Expectations are the secret software, running on the hardware of our minds, controlling our emotions, decisions, and actions. How?

Think about your life. How much of the sadness you feel derives from what you think should have happened - than with what actually happened?

Think about your career. How much of the discontent you feel comes from your belief about where you’d be at this point - than with the progress you’ve actually made?

Think about your relationships. How much of your dissatisfaction with friends, family, significant others, or spouses has to do with your unspoken presumptions - than with the people themselves?

Having so many expectations is distorting your perspective, decreasing your happiness and disrupting your joy.

You can live a life of true freedom, greater peace and less stress: Release as many expectations as possible.

This, DeVon Franklin argues, is the secret to a better life now.

In a culture obsessed with more, Live Free is a bold counterintuitive book that can start a cultural revolution, Franklin contends.

Everyone struggles with unnecessary expectations. But once you learn to let go of them, you can set the stage for the life you’ve always wanted.

Mrs.Perfect(Wytisha Williams)

As I read the book, it was as if he was speaking about my life. I wonder how many have said this after reading the book lol!Seriously though, the dysfunction, trauma, etc.I remember growing up when people would call me “Mrs.Know it All” and “Mrs.Perfect.”They still do until this day.But it has always been my hunger for knowledge and never settling for what people tell me, but to learn on my own.This book gave me insight on my life from a different lens and it most definitely helped me analyze myself as it relates to my past relationships and even friendships.I owe some people some apologies.It was an eye opener.Who would have known that there was a male version of me!Who would have known that other people experienced what I’ve been experiencing all of my life on this level!I thought I was all alone.Now I understand why my spirit was drawn to this book.I too am the the middle child and experienced several traumas growing up even near death experiences and who would have known the correlation to striving to be perfect was to mask
imperfection beneath.This book was breathtaking.I had butterflies the entire time because it seemed too surreal to be reading about the male version of myself.My expectation is to one day sit across from Mr.Franklin and share our similarities.I feel that is a realistic expectation(all smiles over here).Thanks for the great read Mr.Franklin.Now on to “The Wait”!

Blessed my soul!🙏🏾👏🏾🔥💘💪🏾👑

This book was shared to me right after a conversation I had with GOD, when I tell you......this Book Blessed my soul!🙏🏾👏🏾🔥💘💪🏾👑

Motivational

The story is very inspirational and uplifting. I really love listening to it as I worked and will be listening again.

Timely And So Practical!

Loved it! No one could have read it better. Him reading it makes it so personal and real! I needed this.

Must listen!

This book reinforces that unset and unspoken expectations can lead to much disappointment across all aspects of life. It helps build self awareness and guides you towards a better decision making. I love that DeVon was brutally honest about his own struggles. His story inspires me to continue aligning with the truest version of self.
