About this listen
The first edition of Radical Honesty became a nationwide best seller in 1995 because it was not a kinder, gentler self-help book. It was a shocker! In it, Dr. Brad Blanton, a psychotherapist and expert on stress management, explored the myths, superstitions and lies by which we all live. And this newly revised edition is even worse!
Blanton shows us how stress comes not from the environment, but from the self-built jail of the mind. What keeps us in our self-built jails is lying.
"We all lie like hell," Dr. Blanton says. "It wears us out...it is the major source of all human stress. It kills us." Not telling our friends, lovers, spouses, or bosses about what we do, feel, or think keeps us locked in that mind jail. The way out is to get good at telling the truth, and Dr. Blanton provides the tools we can use to escape from that jail of the mind. This book is the cake with the file in it.
In Radical Honesty, Dr. Blanton coaches us on how to have lives that work, how to have relationships that are alive and passionate, and how to create intimacy where none exists. As we have been taught by the philosophical and spiritual sources of our culture for thousands of years, from Plato to Nietzsche, from the Bible to Emerson, the truth shall set you free.

Awesome book, poorly read.
The content is seriously incredible but it is so hard to listen to. I tried to continue but honestly couldn’t. I appreciated the rawness, but some form of editing and attempt to hold attention would have been nice. I’ll buy the e book.

If you are ready to feel uncomfortable and grow, get into this book. Brad doesn't mince words. He paints an amazing picture of human growth and you can see yourself in many of the professional anecdotes he provides from his work. I enjoyed the shit out of his sense of humour. Extremely helpful. Now I just need to be honest with myself.

The other reviews are right
The narration was endearing at best and impractical and cumbersome at worst.
The content was great, and I too, like other reviewers, wish I'd read the book instead. That said, I never would've read the book so I'm grateful to have been exposed to the author's thinking via the audio book.
I found myself often disagreeing with the content but felt it wasn't shying away from criticism either. And that's the point. Learning to put it out there and expose one's self to the world through telling the truth. This book embodies it's own preaching, with even the rustic narration shining a light on every right and every thing wrong with the author.
A lot to learn from this audio book. Would recommend to anyone who has an inkling of wanting a little more reality in their lives. A warning though, it's goes to some dark places, although not without reprieve if you look hard enough.

Shocking narrative
This is narrated so badly . This is the first book I have bought on audible and maybe my last . I am struggling to listen to it as the narrator is just terrible .. there are very apparent pauses and changes to the volume .. his voice sounds like he has a cold and then jumps to being a bit better .. he sounds like he is struggling to read some words and phrases .. he coughs and corrects himself etc etc .. i honestly could do a better job of reading this out loud . If there was a way to get my money back on this book I’d like to know how because this is a shocker . I would NOT recommend listening to this book .

Well worth reading
The basic concept is well worth understanding and applying. The explanations are compelling and even amusing sometimes. The performance is personable but unprofessional and actually interferes with comprehension. I think there may actually have been two books tangled into one here.

Diamonds in the rough
Seems this cranky old bugger is living his own advice and doesn't give one *"#@ if we don't like his dodgy recording skills and equipment. 🤣 Every bad review was spot on about his coughing and sniffing in your ear. That being said, what he's got to say is worth hearing and one kinda gets used to the recording quality as the text unfolds. If you have even an inkling you might be interested, grab this book. 👍👍
