Like many of the other negative reviews, which I wished I had read before buying this book, I feel mislead. Not one word in the description does it say this is a Christian book. Even still once I discovered that it is Christian-based in the early pages, I thought well the concepts make sense and I will continue reading and give it a chance. But when I read on page 70 the author's key point, "People who regularly read the Bible make better decisions.", I said that is enough. So what about the many priest who regularly read the "Bible" but yet decided to molest children? And what about reading the Koran, or the Talmud, the Bhagavad Gita? Don't those religious texts provide a basis from which one can make a "good" decision? The author's premise in this book could have been made much more effective and helpful had he taken out the Christian references and been more open to accepting that other religious beliefs also lead to living a good life with happiness.
The subtitle of this book is "A True Story about Why We Sabotage Ourselves, Feel Overwhelmed, Set Aside Our Dreams, and Lack the Courage to Simply Be Ourselves... and How to Start Choosing Happiness Again" and that is quite a mouthful. But having read a number of Matthew Kelly's books over the last few years I was very excited to read this one. I must admit I read this book while rereading Rediscover Jesus, I read it through once and could not put it down, and am now reading it through a chapter a day. It was very interesting reading these two books in parallel. Matthew Kelly states in the introduction that this book is the most personal book that he has written to date. Having read a number of the others I completely agree. He has opened up and been transparent about his own faith journey, his successes, growth and failures. He is teaching by example, his example. And what a brave, courageous and motivating example it is.Matthew also shares a number of stories that he has shared before. But this is the most exhaustive collection of them, and some of them go into more details or extended versions of the stories. So this book is part autobiography, part spiritual history and part a guidebook for those of us who wish to grow in the Christian life. Matthew states in the introduction: "The hardest war to win is one you don't even realize you are fighting, and the hardest enemy to defeat is the one you don't even know exists. Every day you are at war with resistance." And he goes on from there to show us this pattern from his own life. And like many of Kelly's other writings the focus is not on him but on God, and our relationship with God, "When I did something that I knew was God's will, something that would clearly help me become a-better-version-of-myself, I was filled with joy. When I did something that I knew was wrong or was clearly not good for me, that joy began to evaporate." And is that not what Jesus promised in Matthew 5:6 'For the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.' How many of us would say we are truly living the abundant life? That we are living from a place of Joy? Kelly also declares "It is clear that God does not want us to be negative thinkers. But he also doesn't want our thinking to be neutral. He wants us to be positive thinkers on an epic scale." Would you say you are living that way? If not this book might open your eyes and your heart to following the Holy Spirit more.In speaking specifically about parenting and working with children Kelly says "I suppose we all need a chance to get outside ourselves and serve other people. It seems the earlier in life we get this chance in a real and tangible way- a chance to serve others, know that we have worth, discover our innate ability to make a difference in other people's lives- the better off we are." And I think about my own children and How I want them to learn to live to become the best version of themselves. We regularly read Kelly's Why Am I Here as a family, and my children often talk about decisions that help them or hinder them from being that best version of themselves. But by growing in it from the learning in this book, hopefully and prayerfully I can be a better example.One of the key takeaways I got from read this book was about self discipline, even self discipline in the little things. Matthew says "These realizations about denying ourselves, self-control, delayed gratification, and fasting are not new. They are wrapped up in two thousand years of Catholic genius. Saint Augustine wrote, "Conquer yourself and the world lies at your feet."" And learning from his examples we can start small and build to bigger disciplines. But on that same note Kelly says if we are striving to grow in discipline we will also experience greater resistance "Resistance hates discipline. It hates self-control. Resistance abhors delayed gratification and any type of self-denial that makes your heart, mind, and soul strong." He also advises us that if we want to see change we need to be part of making that change happen. "If you want to be part of an excellent parish, stop waiting for someone else to make it one. Get involved and make it an excellent parish. Resistance encourages us to take it easy and settle for mediocrity. But God created us for happiness, and he fills us with great joy as we strive for excellence, especially in the spiritual life." Matthew insists:"God wants you to live an excellent life. In that quest for excellence you will find a rare happiness."He also stresses the importance of being gentle with ourselves as part of the processs. "One of the most important reasons to be gentle with ourselves is because if we cannot forgive ourselves, we will struggle to forgive others. And if we cannot forgive ourselves or others, we will resist even God's forgiveness. When we are gentle with ourselves, when we are patient with ourselves, we develop awareness, and awareness breeds compassion. And every person who ever crosses your path needs a little compassion." And also"Be gentle with yourself, be gentle with others, and never stop striving to be all that God created you to be: the-very-best-version-of-yourself."And again he always cycles back to being who God calls us to be. He says "God designed human beings for specific purposes. When we stray from them, things tend to go wrong and we start to feel dissatisfied at best and miserable at worst. You were made for mission. You will never have lasting happiness until you realize this and act on it.".This book was an excellent read, and I know already that I will read it again soon. Matthew draws examples from his own life and a few examples from outside his life. Each chapter has a main teaching followed by a reminder of the Key Point and Action Step at the end of the chapter. This is a great read and it will inspire you.On a side note I am still waiting in anticipation for The Narrow Path that Dynamic Catholic promoted for almost a year but keeps getting pushed back but books like this one and Rediscover Jesus. But both Rediscover Jesus and this book are excellent reads, that will have immediate impact on all areas of your life if you read them with an open hear. So give this book a read or a listen all you have to lose is your resistance. And you have a world of joy and happiness to gain, true joy found only in God.
I wish someone had told me it was a religious book first. I don't mind that it is, but I might've had a different outlook with different expectations. The first couple chapters were probably the most useful but it quickly went downhill in terms of quality useable content.I remember looking at a page and thinking, "did this guy really waste 1/2-1 whole page talking about a few restaurants he knows of and could recommend...what in the world does this have to do with anything...". Easily could've been cut down to 1-2 sentences to make his 'point' of loving food. And that is how I feel about the whole book. Could've been half the number of pages, and full of a lot of useless rambles. Also, if you aren't a regular member of a church or more specifically christian, you won't be able to apply most of what is in here.Again, I don't have a problem with religion per se, but I would've appreciated a heads up to avoid this book since I don't think one religion should be touted as the cornerstone of every single persons happiness, when so many exist throughout the world.
. Matthew Kelly has once again surpassed himself. I couldn't put down this book. Our church ordered this book for our parishioners could grow in their spiritual & everyday life. This book is the gift that keeps on giving. If you thought Joyce Meyers " Battlefields of the mind" was good- you will love Matthew Kelly's Resisting Happiness .
My shortlist highlight are:- Great emphasis and a reminder on having a Loving God for anyone to fully appreciate and embrace the verse of "thy will be done".- Great content about self awareness and aligning it to the commitment of being the best versions of ourselves based on God's teachings.
Another inspirational book by Matthew Kelly. If your life, and especially your spiritual life, seems to be "stuck in the mud" this is the inspiration you have been looking for to put one foot in front of the other and continue your faith journey on the right path. Matthew Kelly takes us by the hand and helps us to see and recognize all the pot-holes and detours that cause us to wander off the path that God has prepared specifically for you and for me! Trust me, you will want to share this with others.
Great read. Love Matthew Kelly's take on how we fight against being happy.I'm reading it over and over as each chapter is very short, almost like adevotional.
This book presents a small amount of useful information, but it is a regurgitation of information you could find in any other self help book. On top of that, the author spends a lot of the book touting his own success. His writing oversimplifies issues of the human experience, shaming the reader into believing “if I could just pray more, serve more, behave more, be better, etc etc†then I’d be happy.
