Tell the Truth, Let the Peace Fall Where it May: How Authentic Living Creates the Passion, Fulfillment & Love You Seek

by Bryan Reeves

Tell the Truth, Let the Peace Fall Where it May is about coming clean down to the roots of your being. It's about walking through the world, through your entire life, in the fullness of who you really are. You were born for greatness. But you can't build greatness on a foundation of bullshit. This book is about three essential things: (1) how and why most people live disconnected from their authentic truth everyday. (2) what that chronic disconnection costs in joy, intimacy, fulfillment, vitality and more. (3) what it could look like to live every moment in our authentic truth. Ultimately, this book outlines what it can look like to live confidently in your full, authentic truth, throughout your life, everyday, trusting that the inevitable consequence of living in truth is that "peace" will effortlessly wrap itself all over you and wherever else it may ... without you having to do anything else to make that happen.

I really enjoyed this book. It definitely made me think about things from a different perspective. I can see how living in an unreal state is incredibly stressful, and it made me realize how often we do things because we think we're supposed to instead of because we want to. There is a real level of challenge to live authentically, and yet he describes it so simply it seems to be the easier way to live. He does a wonderful job of explaining how we are caught in a web of inauthentic choices from childhood on, by culture and the people around us, and how we are afraid to speak our truths because we are afraid of losing something we think we need from the people around us. This is not a preachy self help book, instead it's like Mr. Reeves is talking to a friend and just explaining how this has effected his life and maybe it can help yours too.

I would recommend this book to anyone who feels out of synch with life, is stressed by the expectations and commitments they are in, or just wants to think about a simpler way of going through life. This book is probably best for adults or older teens, simply because the language is blunt and direct, and he discusses in passing how people sometimes mistake sex for connection - not in a detailed way or anything, just simply that sex is a thing people do and sometimes people do it for the wrong reasons, but it is just adult enough that I would not give it to my 13 year old brother just yet. There are journaling question prompts that might help you process what is being discussed and see how it effects your own life, but it is up to you if you do that. I would suggest at least reading them, because they do help you think through what has been said.

I did receive this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. This in no way influenced my review, and a review was not required, but it did give me the chance to read this awesome book that I most likely would not have found otherwise.

It’s time to be vulnerable

Really enjoy the insights this book as about telling our authentic truth. Other good insights on encouraging others to do the same. I recommend this book because the least it will do is open your mind to Joe and why you want to tell your authentic truth.
