Summary
What if you’re not broken, and never actually were, even if it’s felt that way? What if stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and even chronic pain were never inescapable facts of life or irreversible lifelong diseases? What if you don’t have to talk through it all, or even know where it started to be free of it? And what if there’s a way to retrain your body and mind to produce happiness, peace, and total wellbeing on autopilot?
Well, there is. It took me a lifetime to figure that out. Decades caught in addiction, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Divorced almost twice. Then, a terrifying turnaround. Years spent training, traversing the globe for answers, and testing everything on myself. Now, 100s of workshops, seminars, and classes taught. Thousands of clients given the tools to walk free of their own pain. And, finally, this romping little audiobook adventure, where I weave it all together so that this body-based approach to joy and wellbeing isn’t lost again.
Built for Freedom is a no-holds-barred look at the root of all this suffering and the way I’ve found to leave it behind without having to turn your life into an unpaid career of therapy, recovery, and healing. The stories inside are an invitation to quit the fight and finally enjoy your birthright of freedom. Because you are already built for it.
About Bob: I’m Bob Gardner, a self-confessed expert at lame dad jokes, and also someone who spent decades of life struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and compulsive use of pornography and drugs to help me cope. I started studying this stuff out of desperation to not have to live the rest of my life with the daily mental and emotional struggle to “keep it together.”
As I picked up bits and pieces that worked, I started sharing them with students. That was over a decade ago. That includes everything I've learned from 30 plus years of martial arts and movement training, mindfulness, meditation, functional psychology, healing therapies, and more. It’s a hodgepodge of simple, direct skills that have now helped thousands of people graduate from the endless cycle of pain, drama, and relapse. When I’m not busy helping people find their long-lost freedom from anxiety, past trauma, depression, and addiction, I love spending time with my six awesome kids and my beautiful wife, Jasmine (and yes… that does include an occasional long walk on the beach).

Disappointing
As has been mentioned before very little information around the how this is done. This is anecdotes and basicially a tool for up selling courses and retreats. Also I find the use of accents particularly south Asian one completely unnecessary and in poor taste it is at best off putting.

Longest advert ever
Well written and read, but seems I was robbed of learning techniques to bring me
Into my body. Instead, the anecdotes last the whole book and basically you need to pay lots of money to get online content or go to a retreat.
I just feel it wasn’t honest from the start about that, it made it seem
Like it would talk about those techniques, we can’t all afford to go on retreats or pay for content in the hundreds of dollars.
Very well read though with entertaining stories
