Living on the Edge: How to Fight and Win the Battle for Your Mind and Heart Kindle Edition

by Gary Roe (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (92)
We're all living on the edge.

Life is tough. Bad things happen. To us. To those we love and care about.

We wonder what's coming next. We're scared, anxious, angry, and sad.

We try, but never feel good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. We wear masks. We try to fit in. We live lies.

We're on a downward spiral. Maybe you're on a downward spiral.

You've felt this. Perhaps you're feeling it now.

There's a fierce battle going on in your mind. Your heart is at stake. This is a battle you must win.

It's time to expose the lies and embrace the truth. It's time to become who you really are.

For more than 30 years, multiple award-winning author, speaker, and grief counselor Gary Roe has been helping teens and adults heal from past wounds, discover who they are, and live with passion and purpose. With more than a dozen books and 600 articles in print, he has become a trusted, inspirational voice to thousands of wounded hearts. "Life is about overcoming," Gary frequently says. Let him help you face your battles, beginning with this book.

In Living on the Edge, you'll learn...
* Why you struggle with feelings of sadness, worthlessness, or hopelessness at times.
* How your struggles come from lies you've been fed and embraced along the way.
* How to identify the specific lies tripping you up and keeping you stuck.
* How to begin to replace these lies with the truth.
* How to deal with self-harming or suicidal thoughts that can derail your life.
* Where to go from here to become the Difference Maker you were meant to be.

It's time to move from walking on the edge of a cliff to living on the edge of your seat. There is much to look forward to. More than you realize.

The battle is raging. You can win it. Begin today...

"Living on the Edge is simple, smart, easy-to-read, and practical. No one is beyond repair. Anyone can heal. Everyone can make a difference. These are the messages we all need to hear." - Paul Casale, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist

    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2019

    Bullying. Media messages. Magazine images. Our very culture aims to tear down as many people as possible in its efforts to hold up a Photoshopped, Madison Avenue paragon of humanity. And all around us are the walking wounded. Some people just give up trying to be enough, believe the lies of our culture, and settle for becoming nothing at all. I think if we’re honest, all those thoughts have crossed our minds at one point or another.
    It's heartbreaking, and so many of us feel helpless to effect change. Gary's book can help. It speaks directly to the heart of the reader in clear, precise, direct language without being condescending. It addresses the thoughts the person may be having in a compassionate and understanding way. The book then gives the reader tools to combat those thoughts with truth, never diminishing the struggle. But more than just a toolbox, this book gives HOPE.
    I highly recommend it to anyone who lives on this earth. The messages of destruction are everywhere. It's an inexpensive book, but a priceless tool to fight those messages.

    In Living on the edge, Gary walks you through a step by step process to change your life in a simple to understand and easy to read book.

    He has a deep understanding and empathy for being on the rollercoaster of life and he shares his own story and stays by your side as you delve into yours.

    I recommend this to anyone who is living on the edge and wants a different life.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Encouragement When Life Seems Pointless
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    Living on the Edge is short, easy to read, yet compelling. It reminds us, without condemnation, of things many of us already know but easily forget. It reminds us that, as unique individuals, we each have purpose in this world, that we can each be a Difference Maker. It reminds us that lies we believe hold us back from fulfilling our purposes and these lies can even lead us to self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Instead of just spoon feeding us information, Gary Roe provides questions and short activities for us to engage with the material. He understands that we must take active steps in this process for it to “stick.” I highly recommend Living on the Edge as an introduction to Gary’s other works and as an encouragement for anyone struggling with questions like “Why am I Here?”, “What do I matter?”, or “What is the point of life?”

    I just finished reading Living on the Edge. I hadn’t realized that I was struggling with some feelings of hopelessness and not living up to my potential. Once I began to read, I kept experiencing those “aha” moments. I now have new insights into myself and hope for what I can become in the future.

    We all have been hurt one way or another and struggle with that pain, Gary writes in a way that helps each of us deal with the pain and struggles we each face. The questions he has you ask yourself really help you look inside and find hope and healing.

    This book provides practical and sound advice for anyone going through tough times with a deep sense of hopelessness and despair. The message presented is one of renewed hope, in that it is possible to break free from the lies we tell ourselves
    and overcome adversity using the helpful solutions provided in the book. Another powerful message
    is that we are all unique, valuable, precious and built
    for connection. This is a timely reminder when going through tough times. I would definitely recommend this book.
