TICKLED A Commonsense Guide to the Present Moment

Being stimulated into a delightful state--tickled--always happens in the moment and is different from the counting and analyzing we do every day, says business author Duff McDonald. In this moving account he describes how last year's COVID isolation inspired him to change the way he lives. The author's charm and calm thought processing are captured by narrator Sean Pratt. His performance has the believability and warmth needed for the author's relaxing message to be fully absorbed by the overstressed listeners the author aims to reach. McDonald says our habit of quantifying our experiences, past and present, keeps us from allowing joy into our lives. This process and our obsession with micromanaging the external world make us chronically angry and disappointed, and prevent us from connecting with a benevolent universe. T.W.
