Publisher's summary

Blunt, shocking, and sometimes profane, this exciting audiobook blasts self-help and feel-good remedies to expose the lies with which we imprison ourselves. It talks straight, hard, and true to the heart of the human condition, pulling no punches. It gives us simple yet revolutionary tools to break out of our minds and into a direct and immediate perception of exactly where we are - then shows us how we can together create a world that works for everyone.

The audiobook is divided into five sections:

  1. True Individuality
  2. Community and Compassion
  3. Creating Your Own Destiny
  4. How to Speak and Listen Your Projects into Reality
  5. Paradigms and Contexts: The Revolution of Consciousness as Political Change

Branches away from Radical Honesty

A disclosure: this book is not as much about ways to practice radical honesty - it branches off into other areas mainly focused on mindfulness.

That being said, it isn't a bad book for what it does talk about. He spends a lot of time discussing his existential beliefs (a blend of Buddhism with agnosticism if you ask me). Doesn't talk much about the higher self concept or other high power. He does discuss consciousness and awareness as our primary identity.

I wish he would talk about the importance of emotional awareness and processing as keys to self-realization, and radically honesty, as he talks about the benefit of BEING. I feel these are the missing pieces of the past generation - we don't know how to feel our feelings without reactance and without resistance. We may not even be aware of our feelings, which motivate many of our actions (such as telling little white lies). We also don't know how to interpret and understand their meanings, or how to think our way out of darker emotions, in order to prevent future suffering and improve our ability to manifest happiness - and to be more authentic! If we did understand the emotional foundation that motivates lying, we could be more radically honest. However, Brad does a great job discussing the importance of BEING with our body and its sensations, without too much thinking, so that our mind may be a tool for our Being, rather than the opposite. I felt he had a lot of good advice and thoughts in this area.

He presents a great project write-up idea to organize your life goals and purpose, and he also talks about some of the neat things he does in his workshops - such as a naked self-disclosure group event.

It's a good book, it's not as great as his first (which really is fantastic) - but still, you can gain a lot. I wish he incorporated suggestions for applying TACT when being radically honest - this can serve as the bridge to meet us halfway on our journey to Truth Land.

Honestly

The book’s information is truly valuable. The author however should not be reading this . His voice is bland and dull and sounds droaning on and on and ugh on instead of motivating. It’s frustrating wanting to gain benefit of the ideas presented and fighting the desire to stop the droaning.
Please get someone else to read this!

Good info but not good “audible”

I agree with the others, some of the information here is GOLD, however the narration voice has too thick of a drawl to where it’s distracting. Seems like it was a self-recorded upload: background noises (at times), stumbles overs some sentences (at times), and sounds exhausted (at times).

The beginning is good. It then gets really boring. The narrative voice sounds like he’s dying.

You will get the best at the beginning. The guy reading the book has the most boring voice I’ve ever heard.

Muddling through

I’m not done with this yet but the narration is painful and so telling it’s done by the author! This choice is lacking in self-awareness, which is a nutty juxtaposition to the content…painfully self-aware, but there’s value in the text so i may have to get a hard copy. Take a cue from Ms. Britney Spears, an actual recording artist, hire a narration professional, for the sake of the work!
