About this listen
Find your way through the mess to embrace the fulfilling life you've always dreamed of. Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge as he shares practical, simple, and refreshing tips with you for living fully.
How would you say you are doing these days?
Are you happy most of the time?
Do you feel deeply loved?
Are you excited about your future?
How often do you feel lighthearted?
These questions almost seem unfair. Life is so hard on all of us, rough on our humanity. We live in soul-scorching times. The mad pace of it all, the number of demands on our time and energy, and the overwhelming torrent of information coming at us 24-7 have left us all ragged, wrung-out, and emptied. This isn't the life we want, but how do we get off the roller coaster?
In Get Your Life Back, John Eldredge shows you how to move forward into the life you so desperately need. By incorporating a few simple practices—what John calls "graces"—you can begin to recover your soul, disentangle from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty.
These simple practices are yours for the taking. You don't need to abandon your life to get it back--in fact, John shares that you can start restoring your life here and now. Get Your Life Back will give you the tools you need to:
- Learn how to insert the One Minute Pause into your day
- Begin practicing "benevolent detachment" and truly let it all go
- Offer kindness toward yourself in the choices you make
- Drink in the simple beauty available to you every day
- Take realistic steps to unplug from technology overload
God wants to strengthen and renew your soul, and Jesus longs to give you more of himself. The world may be harsh, but God is gentle; he knows what your daily life is like. All we need to do is put ourselves in places that allow us to receive his help. You can live freely and lightly. Let Get Your Life Back show you how. Your soul will thank you for it.

So timely for this hour
Absolutely loved this book and John narrating it. John is so easy to listen to and brings home a lot of facts and simple truths that one can grasp. The practical application is so achievable for anyone - like the one minute pause - as it makes cultivating intimacy with God possible for the busiest person! My favorite part... benevolent detachment... therein is so much freedom!
Thanks John, great work and partnership with God on this one!

great tool for a spiritual re-set
Already planning to listen again with a notebook & pen. Often lyrical and always insightful about the assault of contemporary life on the soul. A great resource for those genuinely seeking union with Christ.
