Resisting Happiness

De: Matthew Kelly

Narrado por: Matthew Kelly

A true story about why we sabotage ourselves, feel overwhelmed, set aside our dreams, and lack the courage to simply be ourselves...and how to start choosing happiness again!

Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier - maybe even a lot happier. Ordinary people and the finest philosophers have been exploring the question of happiness for thousands of years, and theories abound. But this is not a book of theory. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it.

Are you overwhelmed? Do you procrastinate? Do you sometimes feel like you are your own worst enemy? Are you ignoring your dreams? Have you lost the courage to truly be yourself? Do you feel that your life lacks meaning and purpose? Do you find yourself avoiding the real issues in your life and focusing on the superficial? Do you ever wonder what God has to do with any of this?

We all experience these feelings and doubts from time to time. But do you know what to do when you experience them? In this fascinating book, Matthew Kelly uses his signature combination of the profound and the practical to help us understand why we feel these things and how to rise above them.

Breaking through resistance, Kelly tells us, is essential to becoming the person that God created us to be.

What is resistance? It's that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you. It's the inclination to do something that you unabashedly know is not good for you. It's the desire and tendency to delay something you should be doing right now.

It is resistance that stands between you and happiness. In this audiobook you will learn not only what it is, but how to recognize and conquer it in your own life.

Excellent and practcal book

This book is easy to relate to and full of practical ways to grow as a person. It includes personal experiences of the author that are helpful. It is a book that makes you want to reread it and share it with others. H

Great points even for non-Catholics

The main point of this book is critical to truly finding happiness in our lives. For both Catholics and non-Catholics the tendency to procrastinate for unexplainable reasons keeps us all from truly achieving happiness. The strategies presented in this book to fight that procrastination or resistance to fulfilling our desires is a great jumping off point to getting control of our lives and moving toward happiness.

Insightful!!

Very insightful and unique way to identify what stops you and I from achieving what we know we are capable of in this life!

Nailed it!

Matthew Kelly really nails down the importance of breaking through resistance in your life. If things aren’t working the way you planned them, or you have a lot of dreams still to fulfill in that bucket list, then this book is for you.

Excellent read

Thank you Matthew Kelly. I have learned so very much about myself and my resistance. Pray that I am able to persevere in the fight against abortion. My calling! Thank you for your continual prayer. Heaven knows how much I need it and how grateful I am. See you in September 2017.

Sincere and Inspirational!

The narrator (author) is very easy and pleasant to listen to. I loved when he inserted a song sung with his son. Those personal touches are one of the reasons I love audible books so much.

Amazing!

This book accomplished all the author intended. Can't wait to read more of his books!
