About this listen

"ESCAPE - Breaking Free from a Self-Made Prison" is a stirring and deeply personal memoir that chronicles a remarkable journey of resilience, healing, and self-discovery. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in his twenties, Tim Kaufman's life spiraled into a vortex of painkillers, alcohol, and fast food addiction, leading him to a critical juncture at over 400 pounds, riddled with chronic diseases, and near immobility.

This book is not just a recounting of despair but a testament to the power of making small, consistent changes. Adopting a whole food plant-based diet, embracing gratitude, and finding his purpose, Tim transformed his life, evolving from an addict to an athlete competing in marathons, Ironmans, and ultramarathons.

His journey is a beacon of hope, illustrating that it's never too late to rewrite your life story. Alongside his personal narrative, he offers invaluable advice and a practical roadmap for transformation, making this book a source of inspiration and guidance for anyone seeking to overcome their life challenges. Tim is passionate and confident that change is just a choice away for everyone, and that if he can change you can too! He lays out a simple, concise, and effective roadmap for anyone seeking to change their life regardless of their situation or circumstance.

Join him on this extraordinary journey of redemption and discover the path to a healthier, happier life.

What A Great Recount

This bare bones recount of the hell of addiction and how to turn one's life around is truly amazing. I am going to listen to the whole thing again and probably will from time to time. Tim is an amazing human and now an amazing narrator.

Life Changing Perspective Giving

Tim is so open and authentic in his sharing of his journey. If you are looking for some hope or perspective this is your book. I laughed and cried and learnt. His love for Hetty is so touching, his perseverance inspiring, his gratitude and selflessness contagious. Tim’s reading of his book is great, Definitely worth a listen.
