For When Everything Is Burning

By: Scott Eilers

Narrated by: Angela Ellis

Length: 6 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

This one is a little different.

If you feel like the world forgot to prepare a spot for you, this is for you.

If you feel like you were born into the wrong timeline, the wrong culture, or on the wrong planet, this is for you.

If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your humanity and wondering if you are “something else”, this is for you.

If you feel like your life has been an endless quest for something you haven’t found, this is for you.

If you feel more aware of the pain, the suffering, the darkness, and the brokenness of the world, this is for you.

If you relate to these words, please know that I see you. That you aren’t anywhere near as alone as you feel. That there are others like you. Your pain is real and valid, even if nobody around you understands it.

You don’t have to hide anymore. You don’t have to keep wearing that brave face for everyone else’s benefit, even when it feels like you’re drowning inside. You can face the darkness head-on, and I can teach you how.

First, we have to identify the lies the world tells you and how to stop listening to them. There are six of them in particular that we hear over and over again:

• Everything is your fault
• You can’t change anything
• You're missing something
• What feels true is true
• You're not trying hard enough
• You aren't ready

Most people believe and align with these lies. You don't have to. If you learn how to recognize them and speak truth to them over and over again, they start to quiet down. This lets you be you again, instead of what the world tries to make you into.

Love his work

I’ve been following his work for some years now, I’ve hand the physical book more than a year but listening to it on the go, has been one of the best investments I’ve made all year. Grateful to him for his work, words, and contributions to my life, though I only know him through social media and this book. Eternally grateful to feel seen through his work.

Amazing content.

Lifesaving book, very much didn't care for the narration, not sure why the author didn't do himself, he has wonderful on-line content. Will need to buy the paperbook to fully digest.

Profound and tangible

I found this book at perhaps the lowest point of my life. I found it to be incredibly validating, and then to be very informative on how my mind works. I found it to be encouraging and at times humbling, but always very supportive. I love the focus on different external lies that get repeated as truth, and I found the strategies on how to strengthen my relationship with my true, inner self practical and open-ended enough to be flexible to where I am in my mental fitness journey. Thank you to the author for the contents, I plan on buying a physical copy to keep for reference and study.

I also appreciated the narrator’s voice. A timbre fitting for this book, she has a gentle and thoughtful tonality that made it easy to get lost in the book’s contents. I never felt distracted by the narration pace or quality. A few other books that don’t happen to be on some mega best seller list (which this book arguably should be, for all our health) dealing with therapy and mental fitness are narrated poorly or the audio of a distracting, grating quality that I can’t get into the book contents. No so here. Excellent narration.

A Completely Different Approach

Been fighting this fight for 73 years now and have read a library of books on this subject. This one is very different... very. You'll have to experience it for yourself and I highly recommend you try. I think you'll find something here that will help you in a very special way.

A blueprint for sanity!

I have been listening to the author’s YouTube’s and they have been very helpful. To actually get such insightful and powerful mental health counsel from someone who has been there is priceless.

I’m not crazy

Finally someone who understands narcissistic spousal abuse and men can be the victim. Thank you.

Easy to follow and understand

Can believe how much this book has help. I was always trying to figure myself out and determine how my brain worked. I have a better understanding of the person that is me…

Amazing, relevant, and so helpful

Dr. Scott has gone through it. You can tell he is speaking from a position of experience with the added benefit psychology knowledge. He presents new perspectives on things and gives a lot of good, new ideas. As someone living with treatment resistant depression, it was so refreshing to hear something different. It gave me hope. Thank you, Dr. Scott. I honestly hope to purchase an autographed copy someday.

Great Content

To be fair, this book is incredible. I discovered Dr. Scott through his YouTube channel, and he's so great at plugging into the experience of anxiety and depression and coming up with actionable steps to help people that actually feel doable, even when you're in the midst of a really bad mental health day…or week…or year…or lifetime. I was a little disappointed that he didn't narrate his own audiobook because I find his voice to be very calming and assuring. But the narrator was fine once I got used to her. EXCEPT one little thing lol. She mispronounced Gaston. Like, multiple times. And I just cannot respect someone who has obviously never seen Beauty and the Beast. I know that's petty lol but it really pulled me out of the audiobook. But anyway, it's a really great book and you should definitely read it. Just know going into it that the narrator has never seen Beauty and the Beast, and make your own judgments from that haha.

Relatable, practical, and well narrated

Sometimes when I'm feeling down I listen to part of this book just because I know it will help me feel hopeful again.

Its one of the most helpful I've found for improving my mental health.

I've listened to the whole thing several times to let things sink in, make new connections in my head, and find new things to work on.
