About this audiobook

Laugh and Learn with These Life Lessons

Insights from a veteran psychologist: Dr. David Levy is a media consultant who has appeared on over 70 television and radio broadcasts, from CNN to National Geographic, to provide psychological perspectives on current events. His previous works have been published internationally, many of them becoming bestsellers. In this book, Levy approaches readers on a more personal level but carries the same expertise that he’s shared with viewers and listeners worldwide.

Valuable life lessons: Levy’s book takes a different approach than others in the self-help genre. Rather than being instructional, Levy shares bits of wisdom through telling his own stories. In other words, he offers life lessons without lecturing or preaching. Written in a style that is engaging and humorous, readers will find relatable truths in Levy’s uplifting stories and wise advice.

A journey to wisdom: The path to living a smarter lifestyle is not always smooth. Levy encourages readers to embrace all the feelings his book may bring out as they read his stories, from laughing to wincing, and learning along the way. Discover the power of positive thinking as Levy shares a lifetime journey of personal reflections, growth, and wisdom.

Dive into Dr. David Levy’s latest book, Life Is a 4-Letter Word, and find…

  • 40 autobiographical essays, each one containing a relatable and applicable life lesson
  • A unique source of both humor and inspiration that reassures readers that life is good
  • A self-help book for men and women from a published professional in psychology

If books such as You are a Badass, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F—, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, and Sometimes You Win—Sometimes You Learn have interested you, then Life Is a 4-Letter Word should be your next read!

Editor's Note

We swear by this…

For fans of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” and“ You are a Badass,” “Life Is a 4-Letter Word” is the newest entry in the self-help genre of books that we swear by (see what we did there?). You’ll laugh and you’ll cringe through the 40 life lessons psychologist David Levy shares as he imparts his insightful, and practical, advice on how to get your sh*t together.

    Decent read, narration is a bit slow but on 1.5x speed it’s perfect. Overall, some well thought of content, nothing funny as stated in the title but kept me somewhat entertained enough to finish the book.
  • 5/5
    Great book. Amazing story. Enjoyed it a lot. Every word is worth reading.
  • 5/5
    I loved the book and the stories that explain the lessons. On intuition and life's data and instruments, so helpful. Feelings take too much room sometimes! Thank you
