The Little Problem with Big Dreams

A Novel

De: Michael Ivanov

Narrado por: Michael V. Ivanov

In The Little Problem with Big Dreams, best-selling author Michael Ivanov invites listeners on an emotional, soul-stirring road trip with Thomas—a restless young man haunted by a dream he refuses to abandon.

With a beat-up truck, a nearly empty bank account, and a manuscript in his backpack, Thomas sets out for New York City on a final gamble—to face his fears, risk rejection, and discover whether chasing his dream will finally set him free…or cost him everything.

The Little Problem with Big Dreams is a story about the power of belief, the battle with self-doubt, the courage to face your fears—and the strangers who become turning points in our lives. Along the way, you’ll encounter 11 “Little Problems” every dreamer must face—and overcome. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the little problems aren’t so little… and they might be the very thing standing between us and the life we were made for.

Along the way, you’ll encounter Eleven “Little Problems” that every dreamer must face—and overcome:

1. You must be willing to step into the unknown.
2. You’ll start to believe the world is conspiring against you.
3. You’ve got to be okay with being misunderstood.
4. You can’t settle for ‘bread and circuses’.
5. You have to know the odds of success are stacked against you, but be naïve enough to believe you can beat them anyway.
6. You’re going to change in the process, for better or for worse.
7. Life is both short and long.
8. You’ve got to get out of the crab pot.
9. When they push you down, you’ve got to be willing to double down.
10. Time will test you. You’ve got to be willing to do it right, for long enough.
11. You’ve got to lose yourself before you can find yourself.

OG mandino felt!

I came across Michael's book the cabin on the train a few months ago and started diving into his others work. This book was another check up that we ought not to settle for less, not to turn back and give up with the slightest bit of resistance but to keep pushing through the difficulties of life.
I look forward to reading and reading his other books.
