Publisher's summary

"Finding your heart's desires in a world turned upside down" is another good subtitle for this story in a book about all of our life adventures. The goal of this "Life Adventure Guidebook" is to open you up to an expanded sense of the wonder and magic that fills our lives and often goes unappreciated. This is a book aimed at helping you become a better player in this game of life we each find ourselves in.

As Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players", and that is the story of this book. But more than simply being involved in an improvisational performance, this book encourages us to become the writer and director of our story as well.

As George Bernard Shaw once said, "Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself." This is a book filled with insights for designing the life that brings you and those around you the most satisfaction and joy.

We each come into this life adventure with different starting points and as C. S. Lewis said, "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending". Let us suggest that you are a dreamer weaving a tale of imagination as one of the players is a grand adventure game being played out on Planet Earth. May your life be filled with wonderful adventures, and may this book help you find the path to realizing your heart's desires.

"Adventure of a Lifetime" draws on the stories of a wide-ranging group including David Bohm, Richard Bach, Dan Millman, Bob Marley, Hugh Hefner, Pam Grout, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Isaac Asimov and Hank Wesselman to weave a tale of adventure and wonder.

The Adventure of a Lifetime is ours to write. We are at a pivotal time in human history with the fate of humanity and the lifeforms we share the Earth with seemingly at risk. Using our heart's desires as our compass, we can learn to intentionally shape the future of our dreams.

A positive adventure for your life, should decide to take it.

A guide with insights and paths for one to consider if searching for a more happy, less complicated life. The informed author offers a “no strings attached”, less stressful way to achieve ones inner peace. Anyone, given time and a commitment to the ideas and methods put forth by this book could find what they have been looking for.

A Unique Adventure

This is a journey of self-realization and the power each has to create more positive experiences for our world, ourselves, and others through positivity and love. These themes are intricately woven throughout the stories involving well-known folks including David Bohm, Richard Bach, Bob Marley, and more.

The author, John A. Brodie, shares his life experiences, thoughts, and dreams. Several themes are threaded throughout with a heavy emphasis that self-discovery is essential in recognizing one’s capabilities and one's potential. Also included is the importance of personal development, shaping the world through recycling, and more.

Listening to the narrator/author, John A. Brodie, reminded me of those talks I would have with my grandparents when I was young sitting on the porch or out in the yard. Their words of advice, encouragement, and guidance. Involving a professional narrator would have detracted from the message and feeling of the audiobook completely. It was the down-to-earth voice that captured and projected the richness of the message. The one downside to this audiobook was the nature sounds. It was at times overwhelming white noise.

This audiobook triggered memories of my childhood which enhanced the message more intimately.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Inspiring and thought provoking

If you want to be inspired to accomplish all of your dreams, this is the book for you! John’s voice (both audibly and in writing) is wonderful to listen to. This book provides thoughtful examples that highlight the potential we all have to make our dreams come true. John discusses different people and stories that help the reader understand what actions they can take to reshape their beliefs and become the happiest and most fulfilled versions of themselves. This book left me inspired, more knowledgeable, and excited to go on the adventure of creating my own happier, satisfied reality. This book taught me valuable lessons and gave me the tools I need to expand my mind and embody my true self.

A Magical Tale for Re-Shaping One's Reality

This book has been an enlightening Journey for me. I felt like I was a combination of Dorothy on the Yellow Brick Rd to OZ and Alice going down the rabbit hole to a world of new landscapes where everyone was improvising a unique role in an evolving adventure. This is a world ruled by wonder, love and unlimited possibilities. You begin to see the appearance of everyone you meet as simply a costume temporarily being worn by another character very much like you. The only difference is the role we each construct for themselves from the unique circumstances that they were provided with entering a particular life adventure.

It seems we have each played this game many times before, trying out all kinds of parts and it seems that in each lifetime we have a string of ancestors cheering us on and offering us assistance if we are willing to listen. We also discover that there are many more levels of "reality" than available to our human senses. This "guidebook" suggests that our mission is to follow our heart's desires to find the right actions and objectives to contribute to a positively evolving tale of Creation. We have no obligations but the reward for playing the game well is a lifetime full of joy and love.
