Twenty-Five Years of Listening is a compilation of the wisest, poignant and, frequently, very funny things Glenn has heard in over a quarter century in the fellowship of Alcoholic Anonymous. There is somebody who knows better than anybody and that's everybody. The soul nurturing messages from beautifully flawed, vulnerable people transcend the struggle with addiction. What you will find is their humanity, humor, pain and joy as they "trudge the road to happy destiny." Glenn makes no claim to authorship. He says, "I'm not that smart, but I was present, and I was smart enough to record what I heard." Twenty-Five Years of Listening puts a real face on recovery in contemporary language with sketches of Glenn's fellow travelers to give human form to the ideas expressed. What they have to share has universal value to anyone searching to live a happier, peaceful and more fulfilling life. "I have 4 years sober in Humanist AA and I have stayed that way because of the importance of every line in Glenn's book. Twenty-Five Years of Listening paints a picture of the joy of sobriety."-- Robin K."This is a book that transcends survival, self-improvement, and all the other strategies of recovery we have. Twenty-Five Years of Listening is a revelation of wisdom in all its many-sided beauties, filled with surprise, laughter and the abundant mysteries of the human heart." -- David S."Over the years I have heard so many wonderful and inspiring stories in AA. Thankfully someone was taking notes. Twenty-Five Years of Listening revels in the humor, compassion and resilience that is available once we stop drinking, start listening and start living abundantly." -- Tony S."Listening is a lost art that Glenn eloquently returns to the world. Within these pages are the quiet moments of reflection. If you listen to the white space around the words and portraits it will seem to be saying, "Pull up a chair, stay a while, open your heart to human struggle and no doubt you will be moved, laugh (a lot) and if you're really lucky you'll sigh a sense of relief in finally finding your way home." -- Sheila W.For people who want candor and humor about not just hanging on but getting on.
