Publisher's Summary

When his pursuit of happiness in Corporate America feels counterproductive, Timber Hawkeye escapes the fluorescent-lit hell of his cubicle in Seattle and sets out to fully embrace the stress-free lifestyle of Hawaii. Intrigued and curious about what people believe (and why they believe what they do), he questions everything he ever thought was true and discovers the beauty of letting go.

If you consider yourself spiritual but not religious, then you're going to love this inspirational book. And if you want to lead a simple and uncomplicated life with happiness at your fingertips, then you'll want to hear this pause-resister more than once!

"It's not that I'm against religion; I simply don't have one (nor do I believe that we need it to be ethical). My faith is doctrine-free, with a definition of God that doesn't conjure a white man in the sky who dispenses blessings for good behavior and harsh judgments to condemn the bad. That's because I don't believe God does that; religion does. You see, faith is a spiritual practice of continually letting go of certainty, of ego, and of the underlying need to know, while religion is a ceremonial tradition of hanging on, clinging to concrete dogmas, stubborn rigidity, and ageless ritual."

Discover the difference between feelings and emotions, the disparity between truths and facts, and the countless benefits of mindful living.

Simply, a must read...

Would you listen to Faithfully Religionless again? Why?

Yes! In fact, I'm re-listening with my 8 yr old boy as he follows along, book in hand. Love sharing this with him.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Faithfully Religionless?

Listening to Hawkeye's retelling of his near-death experience. Powerful and relatable in all of it's tones and meanings, most importantly that of "letting go" in our day to day lives.

What does Timber Hawkeye bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Lots. Hawkeye's elocution, so crisp and controlled, yet natural, flowy, and subtly varied... truly feels like he's right there next to you, open and wholeheartedly sharing his story.

What did you learn from Faithfully Religionless that you would use in your daily life?

LET GO

Any additional comments?

Despite my extensive Audible library from the spiritial and metaphysical to the behavioral and "scientific", from Thich Nhat Hanh to Bertrand Russell to Brene Brown to Aaron Beck, I found Hawkeye's book uniquely refreshing and uniquely insightful. A stand alone of sorts!

Encore, Timber Hawkeye!

An amazing journey!

The greatest gift you can give yourself is letting go of the things that hold you back. 
The wisdom and insight found inside Faithfully Religionless is powerful yet simple enough to embrace. The whole book feels as if Timber Hawkeye is speaking to you as a mentor and as a friend. After reading it I realized that I need to let go and there are many things I need to unlearn.
The flow of this book makes it a quick read if you have a day to enjoy it. Though it is one you'll be want to read over and over again savoring it. Each time you will still learn something new.

Faithfully Religionless is a MUST-READ!

Freedom

At 13 I was told by some spoiled, impudent school girls that I was fat and ugly. At fourteen I was told again, this time by some malicious, malevolent teenagers, same things...that I was fat, gross and ugly. I lost weight, those students had nothing to say, but I still heard those words, because now I was saying them. At eighteen, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship with a man who was 8 years older than me. He told me I was worthless. He cheated blatantly, he even had a sixth month affair with my foster sister. I was never good enough, but no matter how many times I cried after he left me, I ran back as soon as he called. I felt ashamed and worthless. Long after it ended, I carried the shame and worthlessness with me in the same suitcase as the one that held fat, ugly, and gross. I am 45 now and those people are long gone from my life, but the story they told me became my truth. I no longer heard their voices, it was my own voice telling me the story. You are fat. You are gross, You are ugly. You are worthless. Logically, I know I am none of those things, but I have told myself that story for 25 years that is who I believe I am in my heart.
I named this review Freedom because it all made sense. All of the concepts resonated with the parts of my soul that needed someone to say the right thing that would be the key to set me free. This book set me free. I took pages of notes and finished this book in one day.(I stayed up all night listening). I will listen to it monthly to remind myself of all of the concepts and ideas that brought me to this place of freedom and peace. In 25 years no one has ever told me the story was told and then repeated to myself over my lifetime, was false, untrue. Well, it was and now I can let it go and begin a new story a choose to be happy. Because happiness is a choice. 😁 Thank you Timber Hawkeye

A truly inspiring read

Timber Hawkeyes shares his experiences honestly, openly, and with clarity. In his new book he provides a realistic view for examining ones own life situations through his own experiences. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Great personal story

A must read. Inspirational just like his first book but with great examples from his own life. if you liked Buddhist Boot camp, you'll like this one.

Heart warming and peaceful

I liked the simplicity and honesty of the message in this book, narration was also very nice

great!

Helpful, well written, nonjudgmental and easy read. Much of how I think about religion put in concise verbiage .

Respectful, thought provoking, and liberating!

Thank you! Every word of this book is insightful and encouraging. No fluff or padding, just true wisdom. Thank you.

Absolutely recommend this book. I think everyone should listen to it! It changes the way you look at life and everything surrounding you!

Great Book!

Loved this book and will listen again many times to remind myself of the important things in life. Really resonated with me.
Easy to listen to Timber speak and his enthusiasm is infectious.

An absolute must read/listen

Never really fully listened to an audio book before but since having encephalitis I lack the concentration to read for long.

I love Timber and it's like having a conversation with a best friend who gives the most amazing non judgemental advice ✌🏻️ I recommend Buddhist boot camp to everyone I know and this is just as amazing. Timbers books are life changing stuff - namaste
