Publisher's Summary

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!

Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier - maybe even a lot happier. Ordinary people and the finest philosophers have been exploring the question of happiness for thousands of years, and theories abound. But this is not a book of theory. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it. 

Are you overwhelmed? Do you procrastinate? Do you sometimes feel like you are your own worst enemy? Are you ignoring your dreams? Have you lost the courage to truly be yourself? Do you feel that your life lacks meaning and purpose? Do you find yourself avoiding the real issues in your life and focusing on the superficial? Do you ever wonder what God has to do with any of this? 

We all experience these feelings and doubts from time to time. But do you know what to do when you experience them? In this fascinating book, Matthew Kelly uses his signature combination of the profound and the practical to help us understand why we feel these things and how to rise above them. 

Breaking through resistance, Kelly tells us, is essential to becoming the person that God created us to be. 

What is resistance? It's that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you. It's the inclination to do something that you unabashedly know is not good for you. It's the desire and tendency to delay something you should be doing right now. 

It is resistance that stands between you and happiness. In this audiobook you will learn not only what it is, but how to recognize and conquer it in your own life.

The spiritual uplift we all need

In simple words imbued with deep meaning, spoken in his soft, impressive voice, Matthew Kelly encourages the reader to do the much-desired reflection about their inner and outer worlds. Listening to the book was a much-needed evaluation of my spiritual self. As a committed Catholic, Kelly quotes extensivley from the Bible to delve upon spiritualism. However, the Bible verses cited by him resonate with the teachings of the scriptures of other religions. As is evident from his narration, Kelly has tried his utmost to live the life as a true Catholic, and he has not hesitated in recounting his weaknesses. He has also created such an environment in his home that is conducive for the spiritual growth of his children. Listening to his two and half years old son Harry sing with him "This little light of mine..." at bed time is an ethereal experience (chapter 32).
