About this listen

From eight-time best-selling author Jon Gordon comes a spiritual fable about the power of faith, hope, and love.

Meet Jay and Kay. They’re twins, and like many teenagers their age, they’re dealing with stress and anxiety. One day, on their way to school, they have a nice conversation with their old family friend and youth soccer coach Mr. Erwin, who shows them a special garden he created in his backyard.

The garden serves as both a place and a metaphor for Mr. Erwin to share a powerful paradigm and practical strategies to help the twins overcome their fear, stress, and anxiety.

The Garden is an enlightening and encouraging spiritual fable that reveals the 5 "D"s that can sabotage us and a proven plan to help us overcome and win the battle in our mind. Rooted in Jon Gordon’s faith tradition, this fable is a different kind of book than his previous business fables. However, in his familiar trademark style, he takes a complex subject and simplifies it to help people take action and improve their lives.

Everyone will struggle with fear, anxiety, or stress at some point in their lives, and everyone will have to overcome these challenges to create the life they were meant to live. Given that there are many contributing factors that influence how we think and feel, Jon wrote this book to share how the power of love, encouragement, truth, faith, and belief can be part of the solution.

Having worked with countless leaders, companies, sports teams, professional athletes, and high school students, Jon Gordon infuses this life-changing story with thought-provoking ideas, practical strategies, and a framework to overcome fear with faith.

Whether you are dealing with fear, stress, and anxiety yourself, have a family member who struggles, or are a mental health expert who works with clients, if any of the ideas in this book can be useful to you or the people you love and care about, then it’s worth a walk through The Garden with Jay, Kay, and Mr. Erwin to discover ways to persevere through life with the power of faith, hope, and love.

Absolutely loved The Energy Bus and Feed the Positive Dog which I have listened to repeatedly, so was keen to give this book a listen. Unfortunately unlike the other books, I found this one very disempowering.
