Love view of spirituality!

Being new to AA, I am working on 2nd step where I come to understand what my higher power will be. This book provided a view of spirituality I never heard of before. I started listening to it for a second time right away. Beautiful stories! Great connections between AA approach and other wisdom traditions. So much to gain from this book!

You better be a fan of Bill Wilson & AA

Maybe I missed it in the book summary before I purchased this book, but the constant fawning references to Bill W’s and AA’s spirituality was off- putting to me. Glad AA exists and helps many, but as a female and former heavy drinker, now alcohol free, their philosophy is heavily bent to affluent males. In my opinion, most women and disenfranchised people that use alcohol need to be “empowered” not become even more “powerless.”

I really tried to remain open-minded and learn something new about spiritual commonalities that would further my spiritual quest, but I kept hearing the same, tired views.

It read more like a student’s book report than offering any insights. Again, my opinion.

Anecdotes galore!

I love this book. The stories are very engaging and the premise of imperfect spirituality as the true human condition resonates deeply. Due to the varied stories, the narration could have been more dynamic.

the world needs more imperfections

this is an amazing book. really helped me get over myself and understand what peace can be. my struggles has never been just my own. now I see the power of sharing my stories.

Lots of great nuggets.

Do not read this as you would most books. I love just putting it on and hearing it over and over eventually the stories become ingrained in my memory and I find all manner of places to use them. Definitely one I’ll keep pulling out to give another listen.

Refreshing and hopeful.

The writing was very familiar having spent three decades in recovery already. The approach and subject matter brought a fresh and insightful perspective to many of the text and stories being referenced. Thanks

A refreshing reminder of what really matters and how we are all connected in this world.
