The adventure of parenting has been the most challenging, the most rewarding, the most meaningful, and the most lesson-packed, and now, in my latest book, "Boundless Parenting," I’m handing you a compass, a survival guide, and a field manual to the most rewarding expedition of all—raising self-actualized and flourishing children. This isn't just your run-of-the-mill parenting guide—far from it. Over the past three years, I've journeyed through the myriad philosophies, styles, and strategies of some truly exceptional parents. The mission? To offer you a wellspring of wisdom and practical insights that can illuminate your own parenting path. Be it single parents, grandparents, celebrities, entrepreneurs, pastors, teachers, or survivalists, each chapter is an exploration of the unique experiences and strategies of a different parenting archetype. Now, Boundless Parenting is available as the ultimate audio experience, as each chapter's narration comes not just from me and my wife Jessa, but also from each contributing parent's voice. That’s right, you get to hear most of the parent read their chapter from their own perspective, making this audiobook come to life like none I’ve ever experienced. The parents, including my very own mom, my dad, myself, my wife, and many other models of practical parenting wisdom, delve into the fascinating realms of education, discipline, parenting, legacy, and so much more.  Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/audiobook Episode sponsors: Timeline Nutrition: Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.
