Dead Set on Living

Making the Difficult but Beautiful Journey from F#*king Up to Waking Up

By: Chris Grosso, Alice Peck

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

In his recovery from drugs and alcohol, Chris Grosso has stumbled, staggered, and started all over again. In an effort to understand why he relapses, and why many of us return to the myriad of other self-defeating behaviors despite our better judgment, he went to best-selling authors, spiritual teachers, psychologists, doctors, and more, and asked them why we tend to repeat mistakes in our lives, even when we know these actions will harm us and the ones we love.

In Dead Set on Living, Chris shares these intimate conversations and the practices that have taught him to be more loving, compassionate, and forgiving with himself as well as new meditation and healing techniques he learned through his journey.

Unabashedly honest and inspiring, Dead Set on Living is essential listening for anyone seeking a path towards triumph over adversity, understanding the human condition, and rebuilding relationships after promises have been broken.

What a recovery tool

Changed my perspective tremendously. A blessing. A perfect compliment to any and all recovery types. A re- and re-read over and over...

down to earth

one of the best, relatable, self help books I have ever read/(listened to) I hope Audible will get his other 2 books soon.

Real talk and valuable lessons

One of the most refreshing books on the topic of spiritual growth and navigating life's challenges I've read in quite some time. Highly recommend.

Addiction is not only substance abuse.

Started listening to this book to understand the mindset of addiction to understand someone I care about more. Not only did it give me that insight, it helped me understand and start to recognize my own addictions and really appreciating addiction is not just correlated with substance abuse. He gives a lot of ways to understand and utilize tools to help when in a stress response.

eye opening

Looking for an audible that will inspire you, help you feel understood, relate to you? listen to this. some may hear familiar thoughts/beliefs which is reassuring and comforting.
