FANTASTIC ADVENTURE!

The experience of listening to Mike see the world through his daughter's eyes, was truly delightful! I moved through each chapter with blissful anticipation, enjoying the enthusiasm of his voice as he shared the raw emotion of participation in the simplest of first moments, or the eternal repetition of their Moana voyages in their pool! Thank you for your vulnerability, and letting us in on the greatest adventure of being a little girl's father, that offers healing for all of us, through your insights from years of unique reflection into our human experience!

Life Is Worth Living

Through short poem like paragraphs, love, loss, dreams, and anything else about life was beautifully put together. How one sees life is how one will experience life. This was beautiful.

Feelings of joy & caring as Mike Dooley read this!

I have many of Mike Dooley's books and "read" them all in the conventional way, myself. I chose to purchase "A Beginner's Guide to the Universe" on Audible to have it handy on my listening devices (laptop and iPhone) as I traveled. I truly made the right choice as the love for his daughter is brought out clearly in this Audible version. [Although I later did purchase a hardcover version to share with others.]
Mike shares so much wisdom about living a happy life -- for adults and children. Mike is a visionary who shares what he learns with all of us, so we may pass it on. A book I can listen to over and over again.
I highly recommend this book to those ready to take charge of their own life.
