Coming to Audible in May — Narrated by Author Keith Freeman
"Looking whole and being whole are two very different things."
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 2026
TINLEY PARK, IL — Author Keith Freeman announces that his critically acclaimed book, Humanity’s Guide to Avoid Becoming a Spiritual Donut: Why Looking Whole Isn’t the Same as Being Whole, is now available as an audiobook exclusively on Audible. Narrated by Freeman himself, the audiobook delivers the full depth and wit of the original text in an intimate, personal listening experience — in Freeman’s own voice and on his own terms.
The audiobook release marks a significant milestone in Freeman’s mission to bring honest, unfiltered spiritual insight to as wide an audience as possible. For readers who prefer to listen — during a commute, a workout, or a quiet evening — the audiobook format opens the conversation to an entirely new segment of seekers, skeptics, and curious minds.
“This message isn’t just for readers. Everyone deserves the chance to sit with these ideas — whether they’re flipping pages or plugging in their earbuds on the way to work. Making the audiobook available on Audible means no one has to miss this conversation simply because of how they choose to consume it. A spiritual donut doesn’t care what format it comes in, and neither do I.”
About the Book
Humanity’s Guide to Avoid Becoming a Spiritual Donut is a bold, refreshingly candid exploration of what it truly means to be spiritually whole — versus simply appearing that way. With sharp humor and hard-won wisdom, Freeman dismantles the polished exterior of performative spirituality and challenges readers (and listeners) to do the real work of becoming whole from the inside out. The “spiritual donut” is anyone who looks complete on the outside but is hollow within — and Freeman’s guide is the antidote.

How to Avoid Becoming a Spiritual Donut by Keith Freeman
What does it mean to build a life that looks whole from the outside but feels hollow from within? That is the question at the center of Keith Freeman's debut book, How to Avoid Becoming a Spiritual Donut — a short, unflinching, and deeply personal account of ambition, faith, and the quiet cost of performing a life instead of living one.
Freeman introduces the concept of the "spiritual donut" — the version of success that fills the calendar, pads the résumé, and satisfies every external measure, yet leaves its owner strangely unfed. Writing in a confessional first-person voice, he traces the specific loneliness of being capable, driven, and spiritually adrift at the same time.
How to Avoid Becoming a Spiritual Donut is not a devotional. It offers no five-step program and arrives at no tidy resolution. What it offers instead is rarer: honesty. About the gap that busyness creates between a person and God. About what it actually takes — in the real and unglamorous sense — to close it.
"I didn't write this book because I had the answers," Freeman says. "I wrote it because I finally stopped pretending I did."
The book is written for the driven, the capable, and the people who are very good at appearing fine. Short enough to read in an afternoon. Dense enough to stay with you for years.
How to Avoid Becoming a Spiritual Donut is available now on Amazon.
