This is a clearly explained description of the science of our brain’s experience and response to anxiety. It provides an explanation of the brain’s anatomy and the interconnectedness of the amygdala and the cortex, and how that connection creates and impacts anxiety. It then provides practical observations to apply to generate adaptations that will “re-wire” our response. Any students of meditation will recognize many of the approaches presented. The only challenge with an audible version is that many of the exercises are designed to be done with pen and paper, so not so good for driving, where I listen to 99% of my Audible books.

“The Pilgrimage” was for me a touching narrative about how Jorge Bergoglio grew, stumbled, fell and got back up again and then came to impact so many. The author provides a glimpse of who the person is that was chosen to lead an institution that is often (and quite rightly) characterized as archaic, out of touch and corrupt, and within days of being named its leader was able to breathe fresh life and signal profound change with early actions that were both symbolic and real - a true sense of living a modest existence, of embracing all and a "who am I to judge" acceptance.

As an audio-book, the author's descriptions of travel, interviews, etc lend a real sense of "you are there with the author" along the journey. And it is a personal journey, the author shares broad context not only from Powe Francis's background but also the author's - which makes the narrative helpfully honest and transparent.

Without needing a “spoiler alert”, the ending is surprising because it clearly sneaks up on the author as well and is nowhere near where a reader would expect a narrative about a leader’s development to end, but it is a fitting end to a pilgrimage, or “The Pilgrimage.”

I strongly recommend “The Pilgrimage” for its fresh voice and insights into Pope Francis and the journey of faith.
