Still Breathin' The Wisdom and Teachings of a Perfectly Flawed Man Brenden M Dilley 0783324865851 Books Reviews

• Brenden’s simplistic, vulgar infused “wisdom and teachings” can only appeal to a certain type of deplorable.
• Although I waited 21 days to receive my order of this book, it was well worth the wait. Not only does the author put himself out there in a honest and sometimes self-deprecating manner he does so with humor and humility. I found myself identifying with the same realizations in life and appreciated the validation that there are others who face disappointments and adversity and come out a better version of themselves.
  Not bitter but wiser, able to forgive and yet share life's grace and God's blessings.
  Thank you Brenden for a really honest 'self-help' book. You should teach a course as a professor at a nice community college that isn't an indoctrination center, the students would highly benefit from your insight. #MAGA
• One of his chapters was deep enough that it actually made me cry, the one on self-forgiveness. The rest of the book was more light-hearted. There’s wisdom in it.

  "I'm Wrong
  And I Couldn't Be Happier
  ***
  The phone never rings,
  The door never knocks,
  Losing track of time,
  While staring at the clock.
  An eye toward the future,
  With a firm hand on the past,
  Stuck in between moments,
  That rarely last.
  But what if they did,
  Would you, could you accept the truth,
  That all you've got are fuzzy memories,
  And a scarred heart that bears the proof?"
  End quote.
  
  Anyone who can write from this kind of deep place is destined to change the world.
  If you are willing to open your heart and put aside judgement, Brenden Dilley will rock your world.
• I absolutely LOVED this book! I originally bought the book because I watch Brenden Dilleys Scopes on Twitter @therealhublife and I wanted to support him. The book is pretty real, just like he is in his scopes. Some people complain about the language, well, it's not THAT bad! 🙄 I guess if you can't take a little cussing, then don't bother, but you're missing out, especially the younger generation. I would have loved to have had this book in my 20s! Loved your short stories, they had me laughing out loud, just like your scopes. Thank you!
• I really enjoyed this book, and recommend it to young women and young men before they begin dating and start building relationships that may or may not fail. Most of us have experienced lost loves or non-reciprocal love. A few of his words were a little spicy, but I am old enough to take it. Nothing I haven’t heard before. Though I have no relationship problems....married many years, Dilley’s words are uplifting, frank, and even harsh at times, but they made me ask myself if I was too controlling even after all these years. His words come from his heart, and he has lived what was written. He made me smile with him, cry with him, and empathize with him. Very wise for his age. Afraid to make changes in your life?? Don’t be. Just read this book and receive the kind of motivation you need to take your life to esteemable levels. Maybe there should be a volume 2 for us senior citizens!
• Awesome book that doesn't pull any punches. Teaches you forgiveness of yourself and your past mistakes, which is really the only way you can start to move on and improve your life going forward.
  
  About the swearing if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen, but know you are missing out on practical advice from someone who has really lived. Sometimes what you really need is someone to shock you out of your comfort zone & hold you accountable. Brendan Dilley does this in spades. He is the swift kick in the butt you need to make an actual change & actually learn.
  
  Highly recommend. Funny, thorough, compassionate, & real. Well worth the money. You will read it repeatedly, because it is just that awesome.
• I ordered the kindle version because I wanted to read his book right away. I follow Brenden Dilley on periscope and although I cringe with all th f bombs, he makes a lot of sense. I thought that I would just read his book quickly and that was it. I enjoyed reading the life lessons and the candor and realness of his delivery. I like the truth and honesty. And I learned something by watching him on periscope and by reading his book. I tell myself, "get real". It's not like I haven't said those words myself. I listen to the content of the message and the heart of the messenger. It's all about thinking and speaking positively to others and most of all to yourself. Accept that you are fllawed, the only righteousness we can claim is the Righteousness through the Blood of Jesus. Rest in that and move on with your life , following the path that our Heavenly Father leads us in with the help of the Holy Spirit. Realize that being flawed doesn't change the way God loves us. He will always and forever love us. It just gets easier as we daily follow His guidance and ask the Holy Spirit for help. I realize that many will get all "religous" and not want to read or hear Brenden because of the f bombs. God is real and He wants us to be real. Sorry, I still cringe with the f bombs, but that shouldn't prevent me from reading and listening to Brenden who loves truth and justice. Truth and Love is Jesus to me. Justice and Righteousness is God's MO. God is Love. God bless you and your family, Brenden. Thanks for writing this book. Looking forward to reading many more. PS. I forgot to say, you are hilarious! Stay real.
