The bestselling author returns with his biggest book yet in which he teaches us the secret to living a happier life: get rid of as many expectations as possible—of ourselves, our future, our relationships, our career and our family.

Expectations are the secret software, running on the hardware of our minds, controlling our emotions, decisions, and actions. How? 

Think about your life. How much of the sadness you feel derives from what you think should have happened—than with what actually happened?

Think about your career. How much of the discontent you feel comes from your belief about where you’d be at this point—than with the progress you’ve actually made?

Think about your relationships. How much of your dissatisfaction with friends, family, significant others, or spouses has to do with your unspoken presumptions—than with the people themselves?

Having so many expectations is distorting your perspective, decreasing your happiness and disrupting your joy. 

You can live a life of true freedom, greater peace and less stress: release as many expectations as possible.

This, DeVon Franklin argues, is the secret to a better life now.

In a culture obsessed with more, Live Free is a bold counterintuitive book that can start a cultural revolution, Franklin contends. 

Everyone struggles with unnecessary expectations. But once you learn to let go of them, you can set the stage for the life you’ve always wanted.

Review

"DeVon Franklin brilliantly offers an Expectation Revelation that pushes us to courageously face our truths in search of freedom while offering a happiness game plan." — Mehmet Oz, M.D., Emmy Award–winning Host of The Dr. Oz Show

“In his book, Live Free, DeVon Franklin offers empowering guidance on how to undo controlling expectations to release blocks in the way of your peace. This book will offer you the freedom to surrender and trust that there is a beautiful plan unfolding naturally.” — Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back

“Your good plan is not always GOD’s plan for you and our expectations of ourselves are often too small for the plans GOD has for us. DeVon is showing us how to let go and let God work so we can be the best, divine versions of ourselves!!” — Lenard “CThaGod” Mckelvey 

"An insightful motivational guide to living a happier, more fulfilling life by evaluating and understanding one’s expectations. Effusive and convincing…any self-help reader feeling overwhelmed will welcome these practical strategies." — Publishers Weekly

This book will truly take your life to a whole new level. The transparency of Devon Franklin as he shares his experience and what he learned is truly "life-changing". The book is written to keep the reader inspired and motivated. Easy reading and very hard to put down. 5 - Stars is truly not a rating high enough for this book.

God has moved greatly upon Devon Franklin and his wife, Meagan Good. Without the household being in order, in alignment with God, there would be no book that is this anointed.

I remember glancing at an Instagram feed from Devon Franklin that his team must have pushed for him (because I know he and his wife are very busy) and I thought “what is this?” A lot of the times I scroll and keep scrolling unless the Holy Spirit brings something to my attention. Nowadays, there is not much you really want to be paying attention to on the internet because of the distractions, the energy that comes through from some social media accounts.... so some things get left unchecked. But not this time, although I only missed the very first zoom that Devon did with the promotion of this book, every zoom after specifically for the singles zoom I have been apart of. I will say that those zooms will go down in memory lane and were a blessing to be a part of.

I am not sure all of what God had in mind when He guided DeVon to write and publish this book in the time frame that He did, but what I can see and read so far, is that God had a word for him to push forth.

I am full time Active Duty Military, A full time author, in school (currently taking two classes) and a few other things on my plate and God really has given me grace to read this book from start to finish. I am currently on part III but wanted to write a review because it is time and this is important. We make time for the things that are important to us.

I know that this book will not be intended for everyone. However, for those that it is for, I pray you read it twice if you need to in order to receive the knowledge God needs for you to obtain. I pray that this book blesses you tremendously.

DeVon gives his life testimonies as well as practical guidelines along each chapter that will guide you to living a freer life in Christ Jesus. There is no life outside of Jesus. You will gain so much from this book and I can testify that as I go about my day to day life, that there are some practical principles that the Holy Spirit will bring to my remembrance from this book to apply it immediately and I know that is nothing but the goodness of God. This book WILL work only if YOU WORK it by the grace of God’s .

I originally saw this as a recommended staff pick at a library and read the book at the library. I wasn't expecting anywhere near the knowledge, wisdom and actionable advice I received from this book. I decided to buy the kindle version so that it will be a part of my permanent future library so that I will remember to read it again.

DeVon is one of the most inspiring people on the planet, so I'm not surprised that this book of his demonstrates more of that & more of his integrity in how transparent & honest he is about his own struggles. There are questions to reflect on & answer at the end of each chapter that help you to engage with the content on a deeper level, so it really is like you are being coached directly by him. DeVon is a kindred spirit for many followers of Christ who are also called to the arts & entertainment industry.
