Story4.5 out of 5 stars 43
Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

Innovation is the main event of the modern age, the reason we experience both dramatic improvements in our living standards and unsettling changes in our society. Forget short-term symptoms like Donald Trump and Brexit, it is innovation itself that explains them and that will itself shape the 21st century for good and ill. Yet innovation remains a mysterious process, poorly understood by policy makers and businessmen, hard to summon into existence to order, yet inevitable and inexorable when it does happen.

It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

in love with this book
Narration is excellent, knowing that it is by the author makes it that much more powerful for some reason. This story has inspired me in so many ways. My favourite quote I think is "If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation...If the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. "

Not a religious book, but Donald is Christian
What made the experience of listening to A Million Miles in a Thousand Years the most enjoyable?
This is not a religious book, I got this for my non-Christian friends. I read books about existential questions by authors who are New-age, Jews, Muslim, agnostic, or non-religious. Donald is Christian, and there are issues in life that he narrate from a Christian's perspective, like how God loves us, how God is present in our lives, but not in the mission to convert the audiences.
I love the fact that Donald narrated his own book, his monotone is embedded with his great sense of humour, and you can hear that subtle cheekiness in the beginning, slowly move to heavier issues he witnessed. He talks about his experiences in life without focusing solely on himself, but people he came across who live not only to write a better life story for themselves, but for strangers, too.
I listen to many of my audio books more than once, and this one, I listen to it a few times already.
What other book might you compare A Million Miles in a Thousand Years to and why?
This is not a self-help book, and author didn't reflect on his life was hard for him, and how others have wronged him, so I don't know what other books to compare this with.
What does Donald Miller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I like how he is not giving you an answer as if he knows what life is all about, but though his experiences and people he met, he realized there are some common elements to a good story line of one's life. He talks about his own struggles, his friend's baby's birth, and friend's wife's death, he talks in the way that brings us to the experience. I feel like I had a long walk with Donald and he told me all these things he observed.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The words brought me tears, the struggles in a broken family, the sadness of losing your love one. A very honest book.

A story about living a story
I spent a day at the park and listened to this book, start to finish. I laughed out loud, I cried a little, and I took with me some insights for my own life.
This book isn't for the cynical, but the hopeful. With an open heart and mind, you will -- at the very least -- enjoy a well-crafted journey of personal discovery. And if this book comes into your life at the right time, you'll get even more out of it.
I don't want to give anything away, because this book has the potential to delight, and I wouldn't want to rob anyone of that. If you enjoy thoughtful, self-aware writing with a message, this book is probably for you.

Makes you think, powerful, fun.
Don reads his own book and because of that he really makes it. The voice tone and inflection adds something that I did not expect. His cadence and flow make this GREAT story even better. I am sorry, but I don't get the title. The book has nothing to do with bikes, time or traveling.
It reminds you to live a good life, to live a good story - a story worth telling. It is a very human book.

It feeds the appetite of the soul.
If you could sum up A Million Miles in a Thousand Years in three words, what would they be?
More than religion.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Million Miles in a Thousand Years?
When he spoke of his journey with his dad; Donald did not try to sensationalize, but rather captures true feelings. He is just real.
Which scene was your favorite?
The experience of his dad.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I don't know.
Any additional comments?
One of the best reads I have ever experienced. In various subtle tones, it basically shared principles for life itself. In my case it came in handy at a time when listened to it out of a recommendation and despiration. last day in half, I devoured Miller's book. I listen to it an additional time since. I highly recommend the book.

Inspiring me to live a better story.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This book, while maybe geared for aspiring writers, will encourage you to get out there and live a better story.
What did you like best about this story?
Donald's stories are real and funny...and encouraging.
What about Donald Miller’s performance did you like?
I like books that are read by the author because it makes it more personal for me. Donald is clearly not a professional narrator, but even so, he is easy to listen to. And hearing the author's actual voice and story helps me flesh out the real author in my mind.

makes you think
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I really enjoyed this book and I am very glad I listened to it instead of reading it. It is narrated by the author and his "voice” for story telling is amazing. This is not a step by step book but rather a narrative to get you thinking about what "story” you are telling with your life. It really did make me ponder and think. A great read! My whole book group read it and I think my experience was the best because of the audio. But still, everyone from the group would recommend this book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Million Miles in a Thousand Years?
I like the reminder that we need a catalyst to change. When we are faced with challenges we should see what we can gain from them. Not a new concept but he words things in a different way.
Have you listened to any of Donald Miller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It is not that kind of book but I wouldn't have minded to listen to the whole thing in one sitting.
