About this listen

A New York Times best seller, Scary Close is Donald Miller at his best.

From the author of Blue Like Jazz comes a story about finding the keys to a healthy relationship and discovering they are also the keys to a healthy family, a healthy career, and a healthy mind. And it all feels like a conversation with the best kind of friend: smart, funny, true, important.

After decades of failed relationships and painful drama, Donald Miller decided he’d had enough. Impressing people wasn’t helping him connect with anyone. He’d built a life of public isolation, yet he dreamed of meaningful relationships. So at 40-years-old, he made a scary decision: to be himself no matter what it cost.

Scary Close is a book about the risk involved in choosing to impress fewer people and connect with more, about the freedom that comes when we stop acting and start loving. It is a story about knocking down old walls to create a healthy mind, a strong family, and a satisfying career. And it all feels like a conversation with the best kind of friend: smart, funny, true, important.

What a great story

I like how he tells a story more than give ideas. It prevents him from being presented as an objective expert on a very subjective area. You can take it or leave it as you please and it's just fun listening to his life. But, it brings up many key themes that I've identified in my life and many things that I can apply to myself and work on as well.
