All You'll Never Be (Audible Edition) is a beautiful interpretation of what it means to get the most out of your life. E.L. Neve captures the essence of tapping into the idea that your life is far more than the reality you believe it to be; there is so much more to you and your story than you realize. Her thoughts on what we perceive as our reality challenge you to discover the beauty of life for yourself.

There is a lot to like about this creative story. The Audible edition includes short musical melodies that help the reader feel peaceful, just as her illustrations help the reader feel a sense of calm in the print edition. Neve does an outstanding job of narrating it herself. I listened to the story but was interested in viewing the illustrations in the print edition, so I also read that version. The sweet melodies and creative illustrations elicit a feeling of serenity, which allows for a nice break from the typical chaos of life for many people.

The author shares her thoughts on five philosophical questions broken down into five chapters, with my favorite being When It All Goes Wrong, Maybe It's Right. This chapter focuses on shifting your perspective; when things don't go how you want them to, it's time to discover what other great things life has in store for you! I struggle with the concept of things not working out how I want them to, so hearing that maybe they're not supposed to in an original way is a great reminder to shift my mindset.

Due to the author's brilliant presentation of intricate topics, excellent narration, and beautiful writing, I believe this book deserves nothing less than five out of five stars. I have no complaints or suggestions for improvement regarding this book. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to dive deeper into how to get the most out of life. I do not recommend it to young children because the philosophical subjects Neve shares could be beyond their understanding. To encourage you to read it, I will leave you with this parting quote from the book that resonates with me: "You have the freedom to choose but not the freedom to ignore the essence of your choice. And every choice you make is what it is-and isn't everything else."
