On the other side of the life you are trying to keep together, on the other side of the pain you think will never dissolve into peace, on the other side of everything you are forcing—is the life that is waiting. The life where you are not pushed by your fears, but moved by your vision. The life where the right things arrive, and remain, and you do not have to contort your truth to make them so.

It can begin with a one-time event - typically some form of sudden loss that disrupts our projection of what the future might be. However, the true work of healing is allowing that disruption to wake us from a deep state of unconsciousness, to release the personas we adapted into, and begin consciously piecing together the full truth of who we were meant to be.

Story
Ceremony is a collection for those on the cusp of becoming. It is a reminder that we were not meant to fit into this world perfectly, but to live in such a way that might forge a path all our own. It is a reminder that we are one with each other and nature itself. It is a reminder that we contain within us the latent potential of every future possibility we can conceive of. It is a reminder that we often must release what is not ours in order to receive what is, that we are all born with a unique imprint to leave upon the world, and that self-love is not an infatuation, but a homecoming.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

A masterful compilation of self-help essays, Brianna Wiest's 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is the perfect audiobook for anyone looking to expand their emotional intelligence, become more self aware, or generally improve positive thinking and mindset. Wiest focuses mainly on philosophy-based writing, offering emotional and motivational pieces that help shape each listener's inner self and push them towards greatness. An author and a poet, Brianna Wiest channels spirituality, mindfulness and intentionality in this series of essays. Each one will help listeners break bad habits and cultivate new thinking patterns. Together, the essays form a self-help book of sorts that actually teaches listeners how to use negative thinking—an inevitable occurrence—and shape it into real emotional maturity. This thought catalog will change the way you think about just about everything you once knew, opening your eyes to new possibilities and new ways of seeing the world. This audiobook adaptation is read by experienced narrator Abby Craden, whose calm, clear and soothing voice is the perfect compliment for Wiest's words. She brings the serene introspective vibes of these essays to life, helping listeners to fall into a peaceful, thoughtful state. A great book for anyone looking to dive deeper into mindful thought, 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is a true game changer.
