An Odyssey of Discovery

Revisado: 05-31-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

An exceptional achievement! Author Joanne Greene voices her own odyssey of recovery sparked, in her case, by a simple twist of fate. Joanne is a master storyteller and through her many voices she paints pictures—vibrant fragments of her life—that map out for us how extreme vulnerability can lead to a deeper truer strength. After a horrific car accident that she endures as a pedestrian walking toward her car after work, Greene faces a lengthy recovery for her shattered body. She comments early on that she “can hear the space between the seconds.” Taking advantage of those spaces, she rolls back time to share stories with us of her childhood in Boston, followed by a quick rise to meaningful work in San Francisco Bay area media, a seemingly idyllic marriage and growing family. Yet there is turmoil underneath the surfaces of her life and she does not shy away from diving deep. What follows is a riveting reassessment of how her strength and achievements stem largely from a fear hardened fragility that she has never truly explored. She does that task with us along for the ride. As she turns and turns in the widening gyres propelled by exceptional honesty and thirst for self-knowledge, she reveals once again that the road to wisdom is never a straight one. I guarantee that every twist and turn in this tale of self-discovery is worth your time and contemplation.
