What an incredible audible production. Pure gold!

Every now and again Audible really comes up with the gold! It keeps us subscribed! I'm a practicing Catholic and yet I found this work on Mussar: the hebrew for instruction (see Proverbs 4, 13) to be utterly edifying and absolutely relevant to my own walk towards righteousness in the Lord and character development.
It was eminently practical and not full of excessive waffle. Neither was it filled with pie in the sky space-out mysticism (even though I do like a bit of abstract Theology). Mussar is brass tacks: examine yourself and go to work methodically, calmly, honestly. As a Christian I will be incorporating elements of this into my own faith walk. Many elements of this mussar can be found in Ignatian spiritual exercises and the saints but it's just nice to here this wisdom from the Jewish tradition emanating from Torah and the Tenakh. Mussar is a biblical practice and concept as I've shown above.
The first part introduces Mussar and then goes over many spiritual and moral traits: one per chapter. Awesome! The second part then goes into how to work on your own character in self examination and working on overcoming the sins/flaws and strengthening concrete virtues as their antithesis. The narrator does a fine job.
