About this listen
After the publication of his wildly successful memoir, Blue Like Jazz, Donald Miller's life began to stall. During what should have been the height of his success, he found himself avoiding responsibility and even questioning the meaning of life. But when two producers proposed turning his memoir into a movie, Miller found himself launched into a new story filled with risk, possibility, beauty, and meaning.
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years chronicles Miller's rare opportunity to edit his life into a great story and to reinvent himself so nobody shrugs their shoulders when the credits roll. When his producers begin fictionalizing Don's life for the film—changing a meandering memoir into a structured narrative—the real-life Don starts a journey to make his actual life into a better story.
In this book, we have a front-row seat to Miller's journey—from sleeping all day to riding his bike across America, from living in romantic daydreams to facing love head-on, from wasting his money to founding a life-changing nonprofit.
Guided by a host of outlandish but very real characters, Miller teaches us:
- Why God hasn't fixed us yet
- The power of speaking something into nothing
- The redemptive beauty that can come from tragic circumstances
- How to get a second chance at life the first time around
Through heart-wrenching honesty and hilarious self-inspection, Miller takes listeners through the life that emerges when it turns from boring reality into a meaningful narrative.

The many examples of how story defines us
I liked the authors sense of humour and his willingness to expose the inner workings of what it takes to craft our own narrative that helps live a flourishing life

Author narrates an amazing story full of insight
Wow! What a great book! I feel so challenged and also enlightened. It was refreshing to hear such a great and new perspective on what meaning is and how we are alive when we are in conflict

Slow and boring
I don’t know how he’s managed to write a whole book with such little engaging content
Not worth buying

Boring
Miller wrote a boring book about his boring life, and how to improve a boring life.... Unfortunately, some people just boring. This story has no substance and lacks any real plot.
