    About this audiobook

    The bestselling author returns with his biggest book yet in which he teaches us the secret to living a happier life: get rid of as many expectations as possible—of ourselves, our future, our relationships, our career and our family.

    Expectations are the secret software, running on the hardware of our minds, controlling our emotions, decisions, and actions. How? 

    Think about your life. How much of the sadness you feel derives from what you think should have happened—than with what actually happened?

    Think about your career. How much of the discontent you feel comes from your belief about where you’d be at this point–than with the progress you’ve actually made?

    Think about your relationships. How much of your dissatisfaction with friends, family, significant others, or spouses has to do with your unspoken presumptions—than with the people themselves?

    Having so many expectations is distorting your perspective, decreasing your happiness and disrupting your joy. 

    You can live a life of true freedom, greater peace and less stress: release as many expectations as possible.

    This, DeVon Franklin argues, is the secret to a better life now.

    In a culture obsessed with more, Live Free is a bold counterintuitive book that can start a cultural revolution, Franklin contends. 

    Everyone struggles with unnecessary expectations. But once you learn to let go of them, you can set the stage for the life you’ve always wanted.

      I loved it! This was very timely, I'm in a situation currently that has unrealistic expectations and I wish that I could pass the workbook on from this book to heal personal family members. Thank you I and I will share with others who will receive.

      This book was absolutely amazing! It gave us tools on how to manage our expectations in life that hinder us from pursuing and receiving all that God has for us. He showed us how our expectations could be something that isn't meant for us and rechanneling that energy into adjustment of our mindset. We also learned that we can be driven by others' expectations of us or our lives of what they want, but is it really what we want or God want? We have to learn not to live for others' approval or let others' expectations dictate our lives. We need to free ourselves from our own expectations and expectations of others, and we will exceed every imagination in life and live the life of freedom!
