Is Your Life Working?

Most of us are trying to put together the jigsaw puzzle we call life without a very important piece. Over time this becomes incredibly frustrating. In this extraordinary book, Matthew Kelly powerfully demonstrates that we cannot live the life we have imagined, or experience the joy we yearn for, unless we learn to tend the soul. From there, with his classic style of practical wisdom, he teaches us how to remedy this problem.

When our bodies are hungry, our stomachs growl. When our souls are hungry, we become irritable, restless, confused, overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, discontent, and tend to focus on the things that matter least and neglect the things that matter most.

Are you taking care of your soul? Are you feeding it and nurturing it? Or are you ignoring it and neglecting it? The reality is, most people have never really been taught how to tend their souls. I Heard God Laugh will help you to do just that, and so much more.

If you ever wondered how Matthew Kelly has been able to write and speak the way he has over the past three decades, he is about to share his secret with you. As he shares what transformed his life, along with intimate details of his own journey and struggle, he teaches us how to apply the great spiritual lessons learned to our own lives.

At every turn he floods the reader with hope and demonstrates unmistakably that the best is yet to come!

Matthew Kelly is a best-selling author, speaker, thought leader, entrepreneur, consultant, spiritual leader, and innovator.

He has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves. Born in Sydney, Australia, he began speaking and writing in his late teens while he was attending business school. Since that time, 5 million people have attended his seminars and presentations in more than 50 countries.

Today, Kelly is an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and business consultant. His books have been published in more than 30 languages, have appeared on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists, and have sold more than 50 million copies.

In his early-twenties he developed "the-best-version-of-yourself" concept and has been sharing it in every arena of life for more than twenty-five years. It is quoted by presidents and celebrities, athletes and their coaches, business leaders and innovators, though perhaps it is never more powerfully quoted than when a mother or father asks a child, "Will that help you become the-best-version-of-yourself?"

Kelly's personal interests include golf, music, art, literature, investing, spirituality, and spending time with his wife, Meggie, and their children Walter, Isabel, Harry, Ralph, and Simon.

Unhappy and want refunded
The book arrived wet, sticky and dirty. Grossed out and it's in poor condition. I want a refund for how disgusting this was when I got it. Pictures don't do it justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best is yet to come!
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024

I just finished the "I heard God Laugh"
My main takeaways ...

My heart is less stressed. I've had such a peaceful day.
- 10 minutes of prayer using the prayer process page 41
Gratitude, Awareness, Significance, Peace, Freedom. Others
Is it only apparent to me that the first 4 are GASP. Then F - Forever & O- Overcome
??? I may never forget this

Then, you get to page 82 and TAKE A BREATH because it may be the most souls awakening prayer you'll ever pray...

"Take what you want to take ...I hold nothing back"

Stripping away all the THINGS that don't matter I will make a list and I'm fearful of what I will discover.

He's right. Very very little really matters 🤦‍♀️

Maybe there's a huge garage sale in my future or I just start taking bags of STUFF to the goodwill

Then, there's the business STUFF. where we just go remotely from day to day week to week without ever really thinking

Today I tried to ask God to come along with me on a couple of my daily routines and I explained how and what we would be doing. Whether I like it or not and to just be a part of it. I did so little today in this regard. I'll do more each day. I'll fall and get back up and fall again.

What I realized is that having less would give me more and all that I THINK I need I don't need at all. All that I treasure could be fit in a very tiny space with very little money or effort. Yet I make myself crazy to keep up with what society says I should be.

The saying let go and let God has never rung more true

God bless you all have a good night

Ps. Just talk to God and don't stop no matter what. It's the most important part of everyday. How we do it matters. This book helped to make the conversations with God more personal and will connect me to Gods will more than I could have ever hoped for. The difference is "I feel" that (as someone so important to me just said) the best is yet to come. Who says this at 65?!? those of us who believe - that's who!

A read much encouraged in our Catholic circle currently. I was excited by the beginning of the book. I lost interest when author Kelly writes, if you don't do this thing, or another, this won't happen for you. I rather think a suggestion would be more in mind than to dictate what will or won't work.

This is a quick read packed with powerful steps to learn how to connect with God. Step by step prayer to help you connect. Written in a conversational style. It is as if the author was speaking directly to my heart. Would make a great book study for a Sunday School class or book club.
