On Fire

The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life

De: John O'Leary

Narrado por: John O'Leary

In the best-selling tradition of Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and Nick Vujicic's Life Without Limits comes a rousing seven-step plan for living a life on fire, filled with hope and possibility - from an inspirational speaker who survived a near-fatal fire at the age of nine and now runs a successful business inspiring people all around the world.

When John O'Leary was nine years old, he was almost killed in a devastating house fire. With burns on 100 percent of his body, O'Leary mustered an almost unimaginable amount of inner strength just to survive the ordeal. The insights he gained through this experience and the heroes who stepped into his life to help him through the journey - his family, the medical staff, and total strangers - changed his life. Now he is committed to living life to the fullest and inspiring others to do the same.

An incredible and emotionally honest account of triumph over tragedy, On Fire contains O'Leary's reflections on being that little boy, the life-giving choices made then, and the resulting lessons he learned. O'Leary very clearly shares that without the right people providing the right guidance at the right time, he never would have made it through those five months in the hospital, let alone the years that followed as he struggled to regain mobility, embrace his story, and ignite clarity of his life's purpose.

On Fire encourages us to seize the power to choose our paths and transform our lives from mundane to extraordinary. Once we stop thinking solely on the big moments in our lives, we can begin to focus on those smaller opportunities that tend to pass us by. These are the events - the inflection points in our lives - that can determine how we feel about life now, where we are headed in the future, and how many lives we can impact along the way. We can't always choose the paths we walk, but we can choose how we walk them. Empowering, inspiring, remarkably honest, and heartfelt, O'Leary's strength and incredible spirit shine through in every minute.

everyone should read this

loved it! caused many tears to form, but I am also a burn survivor. a victor, actually. I have always said I was going to write a book & though our stories are different, John's perspective is spot on to where I am in my life right now. especially to the way I ask Why Me? thank you for sharing your story and your perspective John. you've definitely inspired me to write my own book eventually.

Real motivation with real wisdom

This audiobook read by the author, John, is one of the most outstanding pieces of literature to remind us that we are alive. To remember that we are alive and to live like we are alive. It is a must read for everyone and ultimately points to the abundant life that is only available through Christ.

This is a must read book

I will personally be recommending this book to everyone I know. Everyone should be living life on fire.

Love this book.

Made me cry, laugh, reflect. You had me engaged the entire time. Thank you for sharing your story and helping us wake up to live on fire!

Total inspiration!

What a story! John does a great job interweaving a personal tragedy with life lessons learned and that everyone can apply to their own lives. A real treat to hear this in the author's own voice.
A treasure and a book I'll listen too (and read!) over and over!

Wonderfully inspiring

I was in tears out of sympathy at first, and then I was in tears out of the love that John describes that he experienced from athletes, care givers, and family members after the fire. I highly recommend this audio book. It's emotional but totally inspiring

This book is on fire

This book made me laugh and cry in my car to and from work. People must have thought I was having a bad day. Great listen and had to pause and rewind quite a few times.

Great inspiration!

Awesome book... Always love when the author narrates their own book! Definitely a must read!
