Find and Allow Your Joy!

What did you like about this audiobook?

I thought this book was wonderful! Listening to it connected me to a deep feeling of security. It was a warmth born from the self-assurance that I can trust myself. It gave me a confident sense that I can embrace life and all the pleasures it contains. Blackburn’s deep baritone is very soothing as his voice guides the listener through concepts and exercises to release and acknowledge our pleasures. We all have the ability to experience more joy all the time. Whether you are unhappy seeking happiness or generally jolly seeking ecstasy, I think this book will provide you with more direction to achieve your goals.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

I have heard Mr. Blackburn intends to write more about how we may use the concepts presented in Huna to enhance our lives. I am looking forward to these publications. I am also researching more about Serge Kahili King.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

The material presented captivated me with its real life examples that I could easily relate to.
