Maxwell, will teach listeners how to expand their thinking and achieve their dreams. Members Reviews: Practical It gives clear guidelines and directions in our way of our thinking to gain full benefit of God's gift to us. Classic Kickstart to Think for Success John Maxwell details for you how to learn to adjust your thinking and the ways that you think to be more successful. It is a great way to get your mindset adjusted to be more effective and more productive. Who cannot learn from John Maxwell? John Maxwell is the master at showing us how we can our interactions with others, as well as how we can change our lives for the better. I highly recommend this book. Good content, but narration is a little too slow. John Maxwell is always an informative or insightful read. However, the narrator's slow pace and long pauses between sentences and topics (true to Maxwell formatting) is, unfortunately, quite distracting. If you are a Maxwellian, like myself, you may find it better and more digestible to read this book in its paper format. The content of the book is certainly good and Maxwell provides some excellent advice on how to intentionally and thoroughly think about any topic, creatively or analytically. Overall, the book is worth adding to the collection, but I would recommend a physical copy over this audio version. Thought Provoking! Where does How Successful People Think rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far? This is an excellent listen book. I will need to listen to it a few more times to capture all the different thinking styles presented. What was one of the most memorable moments of How Successful People Think? Being able to reconized the different styles of thinking and when to use them Which scene was your favorite? Reflective Thinking Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No it is best to absorb it in one or two thinking styles

Title: Rise Sister Rise Subtitle: A Guide to Unleashing the Wise, Wild Woman Within Author: Rebecca Campbell Narrator: Rebecca Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: Hay House UK Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 215 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Rise for you, rise for me; when you rise first, you rise for she. Many women have spent their lives trying to succeed by "making it" in a man's world. But things are changing - more and more women are realizing that this way of being is no longer sustainable. We are experiencing a global shift that mystics through the ages have predicted: the return of the mother and the rise of the sacred feminine. Rise Sister Rise is a call to arms for women to rise up, tell their truth, and lead. It is a guide to cocreating a whole new archetype for women in these awakening times - a woman who does not keep herself small in order to make others feel more comfortable, a woman who knows that she is not her body weight, her sexual partners, or her career. A woman who understands the true meaning of sisterhood and that alone we are strong but together we are fierce. It is a manual for healing the insecurities, the fears, and the limiting inherited patterns that stop women from trusting their innate power and wisdom and being the people they came here to be. Full of tools, contemplative questions, rituals, and exercises, Rise Sister Rise will inspire you to listen to your intuition and act on it, to gather the courage to be seen and heard, to know your worth, and to heal the world around you by first healing yourself. Members Reviews: Love the call to sisterhood This book struck me from the foreword. The narration is great, the thought-provoking questions just what I needed. My only complaint is that the author rejects Christianity as being while and complete without understanding it fully. it just stung a little, personally. But that's because Christ is part of MY journey. I realize He's not in everyones'. :) An absolute MUST I haven't come across a book that completely captivated me and spoke to my soul in a very very long time! This book is mandatory! ready to rise This is exactly what I needed. An inspirational guide to awakening the sleeping powerful woman inside. Thank you. I am now looking to attend a retreat! Life Changing Book Get it. Hear it. Do it. You will not regret this one. I went through a decade of anger after abandoning my extremist Baptist and Presbyterian upbringing through which I learned mostly judgement and fear... I am finally back on my path toward a wholesome spiritual existence and this book brought me miles in just 2 days of listening. I have joined the sisterhood and can't wait to see what lies ahead. Good Intro Spiritual Book Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Possibly. It's a good book...but it covers so much rather quickly I think maybe it is not as powerful as more focused/intensive books. What does Rebecca Campbell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She has a great energy and seems very genuine. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Yes. It would be unlike any movies currently out there. Any additional comments? Good book with sound overall message, but I wanted a little more...

You Were Born Rich Audiobook by Bob Proctor

Title: You Were Born Rich Author: Bob Proctor Narrator: Bob Proctor Format: Original Recording Length: 10 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-15 Publisher: Gildan Seminars Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 519 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Zig Ziglar may be the master motivator, Mark Victor Hansen of Chicken Soup for the Soul the master storyteller; Anthony Robbins may be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master thinker. When it comes to systematizing life, no one else can touch him. He is simply the best. Bob Proctor collects thoughts like Imelda Marcos used to collect shoes. He strings them together in exquisite arrays, one thought leading logically to the next until a whole method has been constructed. In You Were Born Rich, Bob Proctor has done it again, this time taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always reaching out for something that you don't have but rather only reaching over and rearranging the pieces already there. The great value of this audiobook is that you can instantly apply the conclusions to your own life. It will begin to impact you long before you reach the last chapter. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: a $15k seminar in a audio format , awesome Review by @taratodaylive FB and @tarapannell on twitter the book was very engaging and I had no problem getting through it as I was irritated when I needed to step away from it to do other things. Because the book was read by the author it was lively and entertaining . The lessons in this book are invaluable and I am so happy we have access to Bob Proctor, material. This has been life changing for me. Thank you, I couldn't ask for more for my few dollars spent on this . older seminar obviously an older seminar that was pieced together I really thought the concert was good spot on some of the editing could have been done better Thank you for this! Absolutely the best! I listen to this every morning and I love it!!!! I feel like a new and improved person. Best approach to teaching the powers of the mind I have listened to this book 3 times through and certain sections countless times (from chapter 9 on I have lost count on how many repeat times I have listened). I am so excited to be able to pass the wisdom on to my children who are 2 and 4. When they are old enough to understand, they will be inundated with this book and the strategies taught. Absolutely life changing! Loved it. Starting it over right now! The picture concept changed me forever. Wish I had come across this in my 20's.

The Power of Intention Audiobook by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Title: The Power of Intention Subtitle: Learning to Co-Create Your World Your Way Author: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer Narrator: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-04 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1151 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Intention is generally viewed as a pit bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this audiobook. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. This audiobook explores intention, not as something you do, but as an energy you're a part of. We're all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first audiobook to look at intention as a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with the power of intention. Critic Reviews: "Dyer's soothing voice and gentle prescriptions for happiness remain uniquely his own." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: You Must Read This! This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Wayne Dyer is a brillant thinker and a very enlighten person. If you are interested in tuning in to your purpose, understanding your own power, and learning how to connect to the power of intention - read this book. You won't agree with everything Dyer says, but take all the rest and put it to work and you will be amazed at the difference you'll see in your life. Helpful Recently I found myself asking questions as to what I really want. I recently broke off a long term relationship with someone very dear to me and this has forced me to reassess certain goals and figure out what it all meant for the future. It seems like this major life change has coincided with listening to alot of self development and spiritual audio books. The Power of Intention is something I reccomend for how direct the message is. I want to make clear I have some caveats however. I don't think Dyer is that original. I think he takes from alot of great minds in compiling his philosophy and most of his ideas. Nevertheless his presentation did genuinely affect me; helping me sort through concepts I already had realized but hadn't clarified. What are the messages I most responded to? Well, letting yourself live life without getting bogged down by outter deterrents. The biggest revelation I'm taking form Power Of Intention is the need to live life inward-out, rather than Outward-In. I've known many people that strive for things based on what people think of them, what they have, and whether or not their job pays enough. The basis for action here is on outside stimuli and approval with no thought given to the inner drive that informs all healthy action. Dyer's message was just what I needed at a time when my ego took a big hit. I could have easily wasted further time feeling undue pain. Now my mindset is a million times lighter, and for that I'm thankful. You may be put off by how much Dyer quotes and his vocabulary with regard to certain concepts is sometimes unintentionally funny, but in the end there's enough truth here to overcome details like that. I especially reccomend it for people that are going through an especially stressful time.

Light Is the New Black Audiobook by Rebecca Campbell

Title: Light Is the New Black Subtitle: A Guide to Answering Your Soul's Callings and Working Your Light Author: Rebecca Campbell Narrator: Rebecca Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-17 Publisher: Hay House UK Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 274 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Follow what lights you up, and you'll light up the world. Light Is the New Black is a guidebook for a new breed of women who are here to be bright lights in the world - modern-day lightworkers who agreed to be here at this time in history. In order to thrive in this new age, everything we do must be an authentic expression of who we truly are. Light Is the New Black will guide you back home to the callings of your soul, so you can light up the world with your presence. Rebecca Campbell had her first awakening when she was a teenager, but without anyone to guide her, she ignored her soul's callings and dimmed her light in order to fit in. Then, just before her 30th birthday, the life she had so consciously created began to crumble around her. It was as if the Universe turned off all the lights, so she had no choice but to rediscover her own. In this book, Rebecca shares her own journey alongside practical tools to help you reconnect with the core of your being and channelled messages from the Universe. Once you rediscover what you already know at soul level, you can offer the world something that only you can give. Members Reviews: Everything I needed and more! If you're someone who feels like something is missing, or if you're someone who is looking for your calling, searching for your tribe, interested in finding your "super powers", or just someone who second guesses yourself a lot - this book is for you! It's definitely geared towards women, but open minded men might gain insight from it as well. I think this book is a great asset for reigniting that creative, playful fire that may have been dimmed over the years! A hard copy would be good to have as there are many highlight worthy parts. But the narrator, who is also the author, is Australian so listening to her read it to you is a fun bonus! highly recommend! Very powerful ...felt like author was speaking directly to me with every page! must read for anyone wanting to wake up to the awesome life that is waiting for them Probably better in book form than audio Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes and No. The author includes "Work Your Light" exercises. Because there is no pdf of the exercises, as authors sometimes do, I tried to "clip"/bookmark the spots where the exercises began so I could revisit later. I don't recommend doing this. Not fun or efficient. Would you recommend Light Is the New Black to your friends? Why or why not? Only in book form What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The author provides a fresh perspective on some well-known "new age" wisdom. She has a great accent, but I had to replay from time to time because I misunderstood or couldn't figure out something she said the first time. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Maybe Any additional comments? If one is looking to implement the practices she recommends, I would recommend the book version NOT the audio. (Unfortunate for those of us who prefer audiobooks because we don't have time to read) Fantastic At the perfect point in my life. Autentic, honest, with sazz and love. Thank you Rebecca. Absoulety AMAZING This book has spoken to my soul, it's helped me awaken to my soul calling

Peace Is Every Step Audiobook by Thich Nhat Hanh

Title: Peace Is Every Step Subtitle: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life Author: Thich Nhat Hanh Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 04-30-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1434 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. A ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness" - the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now. Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries, meditations, personal anecdotes, and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the listener already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking - and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. The deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage listeners to work for peace in the world as they continue to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindful. Members Reviews: Great approach to mindfulness Would you consider the audio edition of Peace Is Every Step to be better than the print version? I actually think this would be a great book to have in print. Everything is broken into small sections, so I could see myself bookmarking various pages, highlighting things, and then referring back to them often What was one of the most memorable moments of Peace Is Every Step? Overall I liked how the book was formatted. Small mini paragraphs that focused on mindfulness in various aspects of everyday life Which scene was your favorite? I really enjoyed the section where he talked about 'interbeing' and how everything is related to everything else If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? N/A Any additional comments? This is a book I can see myself going back to many times in the future. Full of great life advice, tidbits of wisdom, learned knowledge, and general advice on living a more mindful existence and being a better person. Great for people who are just becoming interested in mindfulness and meditation as well as for people more familiar with the topic. A must have addition to anyone's library Perfect on all counts Thich Nhat Han is always without peer, but this isn't always true of Audible narrators. Mr. Ballerina was perfect as the narrator. His voice is mature, natural, and warm. Honestly I was expecting more What disappointed you about Peace Is Every Step? This is not a bad book, if you never read anything about meditation it's a great way to start but I would definitely not rate it 5 stars as most people did. The book could have been shortened quite a bit (and it's already short). I think the narrator did a good job and it's not his fault if the book could have had a richer content.

The Desire Map Experience Audiobook by Danielle LaPorte

Title: The Desire Map Experience Subtitle: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul Author: Danielle LaPorte Narrator: Danielle LaPorte Format: Original Recording Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 12-13-13 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 394 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: How do you feel about setting goals? Ive heard people say they feel energized, depressed, confused, terrified, pumped, ambivalent, lost...or all of the above. Heres what Ive realized: Our relationship to success is inside-out. When we make our New Years resolutions, bucket lists, big plans, or weekly to-dos, were hoping that when we "arrive" well be fulfilled. Our hearts will swell as we cross the finish line, and then we can finally relax and savor our happiness. Except more often than not, that doesnt happen. Even when we meet our objectives, we wonder if we aimed too low, or took too long, or if we could have done it better. And when we fall short, we come down on ourselves like a ton of bricks. So we make the next goal, hoping itll give us everything the last one didnt. Its a self-defeating cycle thats burning us out. How do we change it? Heres the whole cosmic, life-liberating revelation: Youre not actually chasing the goal. Youre chasing the feeling that you hope attaining the goal will give you. Every craving, aspiration, or goal you have - from what you eat, wear, and own, to all the things you want to create or do - is driven by a desire to feel a certain way. Thats it. And thats where the Desire Map process starts. In The Desire Map Experience, Ill share a process that youll use to transform the way you relate to every aspect of your life. Its not about learning a new time-budgeting method, filling out a questionnaire, or making another list to stick on your fridge. Instead, youll get crystal clear about how you want to feel about everything you do. The Desire Map is holistic life planning. Heres how it works: Youll make this process your own. Its not a one-size-fits-all deal. Youll create your Desire Map in the way that lets your soul speak loud and clear in every day of your life. Feeling good along the way to your goals doesnt mean you wont need to work your ass off - but when you do, youll do the work joyously. Youll be creating goals that are life-affirming, nourishing, practical, forgiving, and true to who you are. Members Reviews: Yellow brick road to the home of our own Desire. I have been following Danielle LaPorte online for years. I have heard her speak in person, and been wowed. I have been the blessed recipient of three Pay What You Can days, with The Firestarter Sessions (which I then also bought as an audiobook), Your Big Beautiful Book Plan, and The Desire Map. Turns out, I don't really like to read books on my computer. I prefer good, old fashioned paper. And so when the Desire Map was released in December of 2013, I ordered a paper copy for myself immediately, and because I was so enchanted with the program (and wanted to give back for all the lovely PWYC day gifts), I ordered a paper copy to give to a friend. Then the Day Planner for myself. Then the e-book version for a friend. Then the audiobook versions of the Desire Map Experience and Desire Map Daily from Audible, because I love audiobooks. Then 5 more planners to give away to friends. And 6 workbooks to use and give away to friends. Love, love, everywhere. THE WHOLE PREMISE OF THE DESIRE MAP IS CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR THE SELF-AWARE. Let me say it again: The Desire Map is critical information for the self-aware, and for those wishing to become more self-aware.

Unbeatable Mind: Forge Resiliency and Mental Toughness to Succeed at an Elite Level (Third Edition:

Title: Unbeatable Mind: Forge Resiliency and Mental Toughness to Succeed at an Elite Level (Third Edition: Updated & Revised) Author: Mark Divine Narrator: Brock Armstrong Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 03-12-15 Publisher: Frozen Puck Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 932 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: In this revised and updated third edition of Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine offers his philosophy and methods for developing maximum potential through integrated warrior development. This work was created through trial and error, proving to thousands of clients that they are capable of 20 times more than what they believe. The powerful principles for forging deep character, mental toughness, and an elite team provided in this book are the foundation of the Unbeatable Mind "working in" program of Divine's SEALFIT Academies and renowned Kokoro Camp. They are being employed by a growing number of coaches, professors, therapists, doctors, and business professionals worldwide. Commander Divine is a retired Navy SEAL and human performance expert who works with elite military, sport, and corporate teams, SEAL/SOF candidates, and others seeking to maximize their potential, leading to more balanced success and happiness. The training is leading to breakthroughs in all walks of life and cultivating a robust community of practitioners. This book will specifically help you develop: Members Reviews: GREAT BOOK. HORRIBLE READER Any additional comments? This book is totally inspiring. The narrator that is reading it talks like a robot with absolutely no normal inflection or human emotion, turning something that could be awesomely inspiring into an annoying snoozefest. Almost unlistenable. Strong book terrible narrator I wish the author would have read it himself. The betray or sounded like a robot and it was very distracting. It took away from the book and message Decent book, horrible narration It was listening to a computer read you the book. Terrible experience, despite the underlying content being good. New narrator please One of my most highly recommended books on personal and leadership development is distracted by mispronounced words and at times very odd pace, pitch, and modulation. Navy ranks are mispronounced. On plus side it provides mental focus training by forcing listener to ignore narrator while hearing message of author. PLEASE HIRE A VOICE ACTOR I've tried 3 times to listen to this, but I just can't get through it. The read is horrendous. There are a number of mispronounced words, for example Ensign, which is a rank in the Navy, and he sounds like he's saying enzyme. He sounds like he's reading from the book. Which he's is, but he's not supposed to sound like it. I loved Way Of The Seal. It had great information and was performed very well. This just makes it near impossible to listen to CDR Divine's guidance and skills. Very, very unfortunate.

Necessary Endings Audiobook by Henry Cloud

Title: Necessary Endings Subtitle: The Employees, Businesses, and Relationships That All of Us Have to Give Up in Order to Move Forward Author: Henry Cloud Narrator: Henry Cloud Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-11 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 863 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: End Pain. Foster Personal and Professional Growth. Live Better. While endings are a natural part of business and life, we often experience them with a sense of hesitation, sadness, resignation, or regret. But consultant, psychologist, and best-selling author Dr. Henry Cloud sees endings differently. He argues that our personal and professional lives can only improve to the degree that we can see endings as a necessary and strategic step to something better. If we cannot see endings in a positive light and execute them well, he asserts, the "better" will never come, either in business growth or our personal lives. In this insightful and deeply empathetic book, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when executed well, "necessary endings" allow us to proactively correct the bad and the broken in our lives in order to make room for the professional and personal growth we seek. However, when endings are avoided or handled poorly - as is too often the case - good opportunities may be lost, and misery repeated. Drawing on years of experience as an executive coach and a psychologist, Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advice and case studies to help listeners: Knowing when and how to let go when something, or someone, isn't working - a personal relationship, a job, or a business venture - is essential for happiness and success. Necessary Endings gives listeners the tools they need to say good-bye and move on. Members Reviews: A Good One What made the experience of listening to Necessary Endings the most enjoyable? Sometimes you need to let go to move on What was one of the most memorable moments of Necessary Endings? The explanation on What about Henry Clouds performance did you like? The way he communicates each of the ideas and scenario Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? Evil People, avoid them, but if you are in a relationship with them, neighbor, Business partner, Colleague, or any toxic individual you are in a relationship with--- they are not going to get better, protect yourself with the law, money, etc. I used to try and change people, sometimes it is better to let go for your own sake. The longer you stay, the higher the cost. Any additional comments? It is amazing how one book from a particular author lead to the next. I started with Better editing required If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Necessary Endings? The basic premise of the book is good and correct, however the metaphors used by the author to illustrate his points are carried on long after their usefulness has expired. This is basically true in every chapter, but is most apparent in the first few chapters where the analogy of pruning a rose bush is examined from every conceivable angle. In addition there is a paucity of real psychological data to support some of the recommendations in the book, and only the mental constructs of the author, which I personally found unconvincing, to explain why it is difficult to for many of us to achieve necessary endings. A related and IMO far more useful book is Great for any large or minor life changes. I kept finding myself relate to this book almost too much. It made me realize a lot about myself and how I have never dealt with endings, either with jobs, relationships, or personal choices.

Title: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind Author: Joseph Murphy Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 12-24-09 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1352 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Here is the complete, original text of the millions-selling self-help guide that reveals your invisible power to attain any goal - paired with a compelling bonus work, How to Attract Money. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, one of the most beloved and best-selling inspirational guides of all time, shows how changing your thought patterns can produce dramatic improvements in your life. Using practical, easy-to-understand techniques and real-world case studies, Dr. Joseph Murphy reveals the vast influences of the subconscious mind on all aspects of existence - money, relationships, jobs, happiness - and how you can apply and direct its power to achieve your goals and dreams. A life-changing classic since its initial publication in 1963, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind has opened millions to the unseen force within them. Members Reviews: Start with this one! I listen to inspirational/motivational books every day while driving to keep me from bursting into flames while engulfed in road rage on the streets of Los Angeles. They help. Really. Many of the them are repetitive and I catch myself being lulled into a sort of dance like state by the materials. Not a bad thing, I guess, especially considering that it keeps me from ramming my CRV into nearby motorists. This book was different. It was... more. I heard about the book when a kooky, older man came in to the bar where I work. he struck up a conversation and started telling me things about myself like he was psychic. I later learned that this was his job. All well and good but i was not paying someone to tell me that I wold meet a tall, handsome stranger after he saw my ringless finger. This man told me that I was on a life changing journey and in year 6 of a 7 year cycle. This was the year I would "regain my power." Okay. And what does this have to do with anything? Anyway, he told me that a lot of the changes that were going on in my life were necessary at this time but then said that if I really wanted to see a big difference in a short period of time then I should check this book out. " It's life altering." ( I later found out that this guy was an advisor for Tony Robbins for many years.) I was looking for a new book. This recommendation came the day before my monthly credit came in so it was right on time. I read the reviews and saw how long the book had been around. It was worth a shot. I just have to say that I was so pleasantly surprised by the logic and flow of how the material was presented. Although I like books that inspire positive thinking and encourage visualization. I cannot stand airy fairy books with rambling babble that sound like yoda wrote them. Give it to me straight but give me a little reason with my "faith." This book was great! It is the grandaddy to books like "The Secret." It was a million times better than any of its offshoots. I noticed an immediate change in my productivity and attitude. I cannot recommend this book more highly. It is definitely worth the price.

It's OK That You're Not OK Audiobook by Megan Devine

Title: It's OK That You're Not OK Subtitle: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand Author: Megan Devine Narrator: Megan Devine Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-17 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A New Resource for Those Experiencing Loss With It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides - as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner - Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, "happy" life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. On this unabridged audio recording read by the author, Megan offers stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices to guide us through an experience we all must face. With Megan's gentle but direct guidance, you'll learn: Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to "solve" grief. Megan writes, "Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution." It's OK That You're Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves - and each other - better. Members Reviews: Transfigurative treatise on grief This audio book is articulated with poignant authenticity. It is a seminal work on living with tragic loss. It has personal reflection, research, powerful quotes, and useful activities. I highly recommend this book. I plan to listen to it often. Thank-you! someone understands this book is a beautifully understanding and gentle reminder that grief is not something you just get over. it has brought me comfort and helped me with some ways I can move forward with my grief. Thank you! She really got it. All the sad and ugly truth of losing someone. Im really glad I found this book. I like her bluntness What did you love best about It's OK That You're Not OK? I relate to putting things out there bluntly and honestly. She does that well. She puts things out there in a way that I can understand and relate to well. Multiple loved ones have died in recent times and I have been grappling with grief. This book helps put things in perspective for me. I did struggle a bit with some of the performance. It was like the first part of words were cut off early on and then again in early chapter 4. I first thought it was my device but it wasn't. It sounded like the recorder was turned on the moment she started the first word of some sentences. _elief, _att, _rive.... Drove me nuts and I almost returned it. Fortunately it isn't consistent and didn't continue throughout the book. The content being excellent make up for this aspect of it for me. I haven't finished the book yet but I already find it one of the most helpful for me. From a broken heart This book has helped me with the loss of my daughter. It is a suggested must read for those that grieve

Title: Ikigai Subtitle: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life Author: Francesc Miralles, Héctor García Narrator: Walter Dixon Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-21-17 Publisher: Gildan Media LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 57 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally best-selling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai - the happiness of always being busy - as revealed by the daily habits of the world's longest-living people. "Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years." (Japanese proverb) According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai - a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world's longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai - the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect - means that each day is infused with meaning. It's the reason we get up in the morning. It's also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there's no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they've found a real purpose in life - the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds - one of the world's Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and - their best-kept secret - how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn't want to find happiness in every day? Members Reviews: Added beyond the value I had expected Thanks. forever thanks. I started my Ikigai journey a long time ago without knowing and now I am fully conscient about it Pretty Good I've read Flow and Mans Search for Meaning years ago so it was nice to get a reminder but I didn't expect them to be so integral to the explanation of Ikigai. Wish it was a little more original. Great if you've never heard of them before. Valuable life lessons! Research by authors is incredible. Should be required reading for high schoolers looking for their purpose! Ikigai Leads to the True Purpose Driven Life I've worked in the fields of Resilience and Mindfulness since 2011, and of all the works and studies I've read, to date this one has been the most enlightening. Ikigai is beyond bouncing back in the face of adversity. It is the mindset that moves one from "fight or flight" to "flow and go". This book helped me to see that I am in my purpose. To García and Miralles: ¡Gracias!

E-Squared Audiobook by Pam Grout

Title: E-Squared Subtitle: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality Author: Pam Grout Narrator: Pam Grout Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 04-02-14 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1252 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: This audiobook could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments that prove reality is malleable, consciousness trumps matter, and you shape your life with your mind. Yes, you read that right. It says prove. The nine experiments, each of which can be conducted with absolutely no money and very little time expenditure, demonstrate that spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity, as consistent as Newton's laws of motion. Rather than take it on faith, E-Squared invites you to prove the following principles: Members Reviews: Food for thought Would you try another book from Pam Grout and/or Pam Grout? I enjoyed this book and the correlation with the spiritual part of life. I thought the experiments were a unique process for the readers. I confess trying a few with no result, though I'm a big believer. What do you think the narrator could have done better? One negative would be the author reading her own work. Need to have a professional narrate to add meaning. I was absolutely amazed! Would you consider the audio edition of E-Squared to be better than the print version? I have read it all, or so I thought. CWG started this process for me 15 years ago, Esther Hicks, Seth, ect. have all placed interesting perspectives to what my "gut" has been telling me was correct yet society has yet to acknowledge in the larger scheme of it. I eagerly took on experiment 1 (love her humor and delivery) and believe it, or believe it, within 1 hour and 45 minutes I received a phone call advising me that I had won a an all expence paid cruise (minus tax, gambling, and gratuities)- Not a scam, as I have verified that one. I am thrilled to have put myself within this information and am very grateful to you Pam.. You are changing the lives and opinions of people and it is absolutely fantastic to have the sense of this type of freedom! Changed my life Any additional comments? E squared was such an inspiring book. Pam puts things into perspective for the most skeptical readers. The experiments are easy to follow and 3 of my experiments manifested in one day. Imagine the possibilities! Highly recommend! Positive Thinking, God and the Universe made easy An easy listen with easy to follow instructions. Actually had to put it aside when my first exercise worked so impactfully and give it a think. Put the Bible's instructions to love and stay on the positive side of the world in thought and deed - in a whole new light. Love this book. would give it 4.5 if I could. Enjoyable overall, but the 'proof' was a bit shaky I am convinced that we create our reality and was so before reading this book. Pam Grout is an excellent writer, an enjoyable narrator and quite the humorist. The book was enjoyable. The experiments, however, didn't really work well for me. I didn't do all of them, but those I did do had zero or sketchy results. This is all perfectly fine with me. I still believe that we are attracting our reality 100 percent of the time. I do believe, however, that in order to manifest you need to feel consistent positive emotion around that which you are hoping for. Most of the experiments involved things I didn't really give a hoot about one way or another, so that may have affected my ability to pull them in.

Jump Audiobook by Steve Harvey

Title: Jump Subtitle: Take the Leap of Faith to Achieve Your Life of Abundance Author: Steve Harvey Narrator: Mike Hodge Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1239 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: The number-one New York Times best-selling author shares the secret of his success and teaches you how to achieve the blessed, full life that belongs to you. On January 13, 2016, at the close of a taping of Family Feud, Steve Harvey spontaneously began to speak. Not knowing that the cameras were still rolling, the $100 million host offered his studio audience insights into his own happiness and success. His staff, also moved by Steve's passionate words, shared the riveting six-minute video on social media. The clip immediately went viral, with more than 58 million views worldwide! In this very personal and illuminating guide, the number-one New York Times best-selling author elaborates on those spontaneous remarks. His message is simple: You need to jump like your life depends on it - because it does - if you truly want a life of peace and abundance. Jump explores seven vulnerable "seasons" in the Emmy Award-winner's life: being homeless and living out of his car, flunking out of college, enduring the emotional turmoil of a second failed marriage, risking stability to pursue his dream of television stardom, overcoming the Miss Universe mishap, blending his family, and owing the Internal Revenue Service $20 million. Steve uses these uncomfortable moments to explain his core principles and teach you what it means to jump: At the heart of this mesmerizing listen is faith - the confidence in knowing that leaping will elevate our lives and that we will be caught when we fall. Don't stand on the cliff of life and watch others soar by, Steve tells us. If you take a leap of faith, God will open your parachute and "give you life more abundantly". Life is an incredible journey. It's not good enough to exist; you need to live. You need to jump - to take a leap of faith, a risk toward the rich life God has planned for you. Members Reviews: I wish Steve read it As an entrepreneurial, I loved the motivation to Jump. I was one of the millions to share you video because I was so inspired. My only wish for this audio book was that it was read by Steve Harvey himself. The inflection in his voice can't be replacated and I felt it was missing something without it. Otherwise, I loved it. Great content! Awesome content, but there is too much first person for Steve Harvey to not be the narrator. Excellent motivational and inspirational book! Loved the book! Wanted to hear Steve's voice since this book "sounds"so much like him. Must reed If you thinking about taking that next step to your future Greatness this is the book to read. In life you have to fine a way to take the leap of faith to your next level that god has for you. Stop existing and jump Inspiration Loved it. Encouraging, inspiring takes some of the fear out of jumping. LIFE a four letter word. LIVE another four letter word.

Title: Wayne Dyer's Ultimate Library Author: Wayne Dyer Narrator: Wayne Dyer Format: Original Recording Length: 10 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Nightingale-Conant Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Wayne Dyer has had an incredible impact on the hundreds of thousands of Nightingale-Conant customers over our many years in the industry. Nightingale-Conant proudly presents to you an incredible collection of Wayne Dyer's extraordinary work in one library: The Ultimate Wayne Dyer Library. This program is composed of classic audio segments from more than 12 of Wayne's best-selling programs and consists of many of the best ideas from throughout Wayne Dyer's long and illustrious career. It not only contains ideas for you, but also for those you love - whether it be your lifetime spouse or partner, or even your children. About the Author Wayne Dyer was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the fields of self-development and spiritual growth. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books, including 21 New York Times best sellers. He created many audio programs and video programs and appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. Wayne Dyer was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Despite spending much of his childhood in orphanages and foster homes, he overcame so many obstacles to make his dreams come true and spent most of his life helping others do the same. His main message was that every person has the potential to live an extraordinary life. What's more, it's possible for all of us to manifest our deepest desires - if we honor our inner divinity and consciously choose to live from our "Higher Self." When not traveling, the globe delivering his uplifting words, Dyer wrote from his home in Maui - enjoying the beauty of nature, his swims with the sea creatures, and happy visits from his children and grandchildren. Sadly, Wayne was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009. In 2015, he suffered a heart attack, and, as Wayne would have put it, he left his body, returning to Infinite Source to embark on his next adventure. Fortunately, we have decades of his greatest works at our fingertips. Enjoy listening to his powerful message in this library and get ready to start your journey to a better emotional and spiritual life. Members Reviews: Bravo!Absolutley The Best of the Best I am a big fan of Wayne Dyer up until he signed up with Hay House.I once owned all of his nightingale-conant audio programs but one.I can clearly say you are getting all of the best excerpts from these programs.Plenty of wealthy material properly sequenced to the greatest effect.A perfect tribute to the lagacy of Dr.Dyer.Thanks N/C! Enjoyed this compilation I always struggle when debating which book to buy with my monthly subscription. I chose this one with my most recent credit and I'm so happy I did. This compilation of Wayne's greatest messages had so many new ideas that I've never heard before (even though I think I own all his hardcover books). This book is in segments. They segments are divided by pleasing melodies. There is a small amount of appropriate narration in between each segment to introduce the segments. The way that this book flows is very pleasing to me as a reader. I love the work of Wayne dyer and I really love how this book brings together all of his best teachings. I would recommend this to someone unfamiliar with dyer as well as someone very familiar with dyer.

Stop Saying You're Fine Audiobook by Mel Robbins

Title: Stop Saying You're Fine Subtitle: Discover a More Powerful You Author: Mel Robbins Narrator: Joyce Bean Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 701 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Right now, over 100 million Americans secretly feel frustrated and bored with their lives. If you've come to regard yourself as your own worst enemy; if you constantly daydream and wonder, "Is this all there is?"; if you have a tendency, when asked how you're doing, to just say "Fine," you may be one of them. If this sounds familiar, there's clearly something missing from your life. This book will help you discover what it is, and how to win it back. Written by Mel Robbins, one of America's top relationship experts, this hands-on guide not only shows you how to put your finger on the problem, it reveals what to do about it. Mel Robbins has spent her career teaching people how to push past their self-imposed limits to get what they truly desire. She has an in-depth understanding of the psychological and social factors that repeatedly hold you back, and more importantly, a unique set of tools for getting you where you want to be. In Stop Saying You're Fine, she draws on the latest neuroscientific research, interviews with countless everyday people, and ideas she's tested in her own life to show what works and what doesn't. The key, she explains, is understanding how your own brain works against you. Because evolution has biased your mental gears against taking action, what you need are techniques to outsmart yourself. That may sound impossible, but Mel has created a remarkably effective method to help you do just that---and some of her discoveries will astonish you. By ignoring how you feel and seizing small amounts of rich possibility---a process she calls "leaning in"---you can make tiny course corrections add up to huge change. Among this book's other topics: how everything can depend on not hitting the snooze button; the science of connecting with other people; what children can teach us about getting things done; and why five seconds is the maximum time you should wait before acting on a great idea. Critic Reviews: "Mel Robbins has the guts to tell you why your brain is your biggest problem---but only if you listen to it." (Chris Brogan, author of Trust Agent) Members Reviews: STOP and buy The Five Second Rule instead. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I LOVE Mel Robbins. However, I first listened to her newest book The Five Second Rule and the bulk of this material is in The Five Second Rule but is fresher in that new text and has been rebranded. This is What The Five Second Rule was Before I Called It That. What didnt you like about Joyce Beans performance? She isn't Mel Robbins. Mel is a renowned speaker and has an amazing way of delivering her message that is very engaging. Hearing someone else "pretend" to be Mel isn't Mel. Shame she didn't record the audiobook of this herself but she does in her next title that I mentioned above. Any additional comments? Don't get me wrong, love her, love the message, love the content but so much is repeated it's just better to buy the newer book with newer name and you'll still get 90% of the information in Mel's own voice. humble pie never tatsed so sweet I'm a huge fan of Mel's work since i first started reading her articles in Success magazine. (top fav by the way) This listening was a well deserved punch in the gut.

Title: Rhinoceros Success Subtitle: The Secret to Charging Full Speed toward Every Opportunity Author: Scott Alexander Narrator: Scott Alexander Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-14 Publisher: Lampo Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 945 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Author Scott Alexander wants you to wake up tomorrow morning as a full-grown, 6,000-pound rhinoceros! Rhinos have purpose. Rhinos have dreams. And rhinos put everything they've got into everything they do. If you have ever thought I can do better, if you have ever felt the stirrings of rhino blood in your veins and your heart quicken at the scent of success, then you are ready. Listen to Rhinoceros Success and get charging! Members Reviews: Different prospect It's good to have a different prospect in life. The story of the book is awesome be ready for the voice and tone of the narrator its a little different the what we hear. Great Motivation What about Scott Alexanders performance did you like? Scott did a great job at keeping my attention. Any additional comments? The book is silly but that is what I liked about it. It brought a great message across with a silly delivery. I'll be listening to this one again. Almost mired in clichés, yet brilliant I almost quit listening to this book after the hundredth familiar motivational cliché but the curiosity and stamina of this rhino kept me going. There are some great nuggets in there, worth the read or listen. I paraphrase... Watch out for the disease of being cool - only dead animals are cool. Etc etc The only reason I didn't give it a five star is that it's chock-full of short phrases and ideas, do this do that rather than using any sort of effective storyline. Not impressed This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? People with low self esteem. People who think they are a cow in a pasture. People who need lessons from the Bible. There are a lot of Bible references. What was most disappointing about Scott Alexanders story? The premise that people are either a rhinoceros or a cow. People are either hard chargers or a waste of space is what the author is really saying. People are more complicated than that. I was done with it after a couple of chapters. This was a work suggestion for me. If you're looking for motivation look elsewhere. If you're looking for a good leadership book try Turn the Ship Around by L. David Marquet. How could the performance have been better? The author reads the book which I normally like. The author is passionate about his material and does a good job. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Rhinoceros Success? None. It is what it is. Any additional comments? The world is not black and white. It's not Rhino and Cow. Worthless Unless you're looking for a tortured metaphor and an avalanche of cliches, this book serves no purpose

Members Reviews: Its too slow and feels like it just doesnt get to the point I am listening to the audio version, i'm in chapter five, and cant take it anymore. I am done. I think the author is well intentioned and this may work for some, but I dont think it ever gets to the point. It just kind of rambles and seems to just give analogy after analogy, all seems general. Its possible I stopped too soon, but I am looking for some instructions sooner rather than later. Nope- don't spend credits or cash on this. Would you try another book from John Hargrave and/or John Hargrave? He mentions that the book is free online. It it worth free. What could John Hargrave have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? more strategy less fluff Mind hacking or mind numbing? Whomever told this guy he should write a book... & then whomever thought it was a good idea to publish it please get out of the writing/publishing business. The majority of this book is a waste of time. You can get more information from a 30 class on Transcendental meditation than you can from the hours & hours wasted on this book. All the useless backstory to try to make this seem like he invented something new makes you want your money back. Sadly the writer/narrator tries too hard to be funny & just makes you want to start in with a huge bong rip just to see if this book is salvageable... I assure you, it's not. I'm so thankful I got this on a 2 for 1 special. If you want to reset your mind & learn new habits try Mindfulness or Transcendental meditation. Mind hacking? Where? I was excited to listen this book to find out how to change my way of thinking but I did NOT get that! I got one hour in and I can't force myself to continue listening for the rest of the TWELVE HOURS! First of all, 12 hours is far too long, second, in the first hour I didn't learn anything about "mind hacking". By the one hour mark there should be at least some real content. I've stopped listening because the first hour is spent talking about technology and the history of hacking computers... that's not why I'm here.

Title: Do the Work Author: Steven Pressfield Narrator: Steven Pressfield Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1906 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start? The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by best-selling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that its not about better ideas, its about actually doing the work. Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance - a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door. There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours. For other titles like Do the Work, visit thedominoproject.com for more information. Members Reviews: Powerhouse of Motivation Short. To the point. Helpful with getting through the pondering and oft times paralyzed stage of projects and creation. Upbeat and encouraging. A book I have listened to several times and will definitely play again. A highly recommended positive motivator. Good Information Read Pressfield's 'The War of Art' first; this book is a good follow-up to that. 'The War of Art' delineates the enemy of creative work as internal Resistance; it defines Resistance's various incarnations (procrastinating, creating drama, keeping busy with less-important tasks, etc.), and points the way toward defeating Resistance by "turning pro". 'Do the Work' moves on from there to give more detailed instructions and advice on how to overcome Resistance. This includes the counterintuitive admonition to: "Stay stupid": Ignorance & arrogance are the artists & entrepreneurs indispensible allies. Be clueless enough not to know how difficult the project will be, & cocky enough to believe you can pull it off anyway. "Begin before you're ready". Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it now. Dont over-think, over-prepare, or let research become resistance. Begin at the finish: Figure out where you want to go, then work backwards from there. This book has many other gems, such as the Seven Principles of Resistance, the Two Tests of Resistance, the inevitability of the Big Crash (the 'wall' you'll hit when everything seems to be going well) and the two axioms to keep in mind while working through it. Will 'Do the Work' revolutionize your life or your creative work? Maybe not. But it's great inspiration and a new way of looking at the problem of making art, and for that it's definitely worth it. Get your butt in gear and do the work. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Definitely recommended for anybody doing any type of creative work. What did you like best about this story? The straightforward talk about resistance to getting work done. What about Steven Pressfields performance did you like? I like his frank, nearly choppy, style. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! Any additional comments? This book echos in my head! Good, Small Book A little bit more than one hour, with lots of contents.

Title: A Course in Weight Loss Subtitle: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever Author: Marianne Williamson Narrator: Marianne Williamson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-10 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 729 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior - that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop - can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up.... This audio is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 30 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 30 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise - they will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what youve been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all! Members Reviews: A spiritual key to weight loss...and surrender I am really enjoying this Course as part of my spiritual journey and my quest to allow my body freedom forever from compulsive dieting and overeating. I have, it seems, been on a lifelong journey to "get skinny," and though I gave up diets years ago, I still struggle with fear-based overeating. In my heart I always knew that my extra pounds around my mid-section were due to a spiritual dis-ease, rather than anything I was or wasn't doing in the physical world (I am a very active dancer and teacher who carries about 20 lbs. of extra fluff around the middle). I have found much comfort and catharsis in Ms. Williamson's prayers and journaling lessons. She is helping me face the fear of other people and of life that underlies my use of food as a pacifier. In my opinion, one does not have to be Christian to enjoy this program; however, one does have to be open to the concept of surrender to Spirit, much as in a 12-step program, which is what I am finding particularly inspiring and so different from other weight-loss efforts I've made. Overall, this audiobook has very much inspired and comforted me in my ever-deepening spiritual quest to live free from fear and in Love. >^.,.^< Maria At last the GENUINE solution! Marianne Williamson has given us a great gift in the form of a beautiful weight loss transformation that heals the ROOT of the problem in a warm humorous healing way. The weight is dropping off me effortlessly as I realize that the body problem is a product of my own erroneous belief system. This is a sacred healing text and I AM so grateful for it! course in weight loss Excellent book! We all can diet, and we also know diets don't work long term. This course which will requre YOU to do the work and change your subconscious to make a change,to root out fear and embrace love. As Marianne said " .This course is not about our relationship with food, its about our relationship with love.

Title: Way of the Peaceful Warrior Subtitle: A Book That Changes Lives Author: Dan Millman Narrator: Dan Millman Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-04 Publisher: New World Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1669 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: This audio edition of the international best seller Way of the Peaceful Warrior is based on the story of Dan Millman, a world-class gymnast who has it all, but is troubled by a vague sense of dissatisfaction with his everyday life. He meets an eccentric old mentor named Socrates, who sets him on a spiritual odyssey that will ultimately deliver or destroy him. Along the way Dan encounters realms of light and darkness, of romance and magic, as he learns what it means to live as a peaceful warrior. Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a rare story with the power to transform lives. It conveys piercing truths with drama, heart, and humor and speaks directly to the universal quest for fulfillment and happiness, for finding our place in the world. It is a story for all times that can inspire joy, expand perspectives, and remind us of the deeper truth we already know, that real freedom lies within us right now. Critic Reviews: "As narrator as well as author, [Millman] has ample skill and showmanship." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: My Favorite Audiobook At this point, I have read, and re-read this book enough times to know most of it by heart - not just the main story line which is pretty simple, but the lessons contained within the story that are really what the book is all about. I initially made the mistake of trying to figure out which parts of the story were claimed to have actually happened vs which parts were just there to illustrate a point. Eventually I came to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter how much or little was fact - The basic point of the book is to guide the reader to a philosophy that is aligned to the world around them instead of living one that is opposed to natural order. Without challenging religious beliefs, the book can lead you to look at how you live, how you interact with others, and to think carefully about all aspects of your life - from breathing to eating, to exercise, to how you look at the world every minute of the day Read it, think about it, then read it again. I don't normally take the time to write reviews of the hundreds of audiobooks I have read, but I feel very strongly about this one Very realistic and fun Just finished listening to this audiobook. It was wonderful... so realistic despite having elements of fiction. It is incredibly fun and entertaining to read, even if read just as a novel. Reflecting on the book lessons, I realized that many of its revelations are valid even in the world we live in. Many of my questions about life got answered in this book, and it brought me closer to awakening. Enjoy!!! Way of Simple Happiness Not many unabridged titles can be listen to, with such ease and pleasure. The 'Way of the Peaceful Warrior' is a story about finding pleasures in every aspect of our lives. This title shows a great way how to distance yourself, from everyday chaos and madness. It shows step by step, how to rediscover happiness and simple pleasures. In my personal case, I was able to better understand what I really, really, really want... Very Fun This is a very fun book. I thouroughly enjoyed it and pretty much needed it. This is the book that I thought "motorcycle maintenance" was going to be and turned out to suck wind. Have a great time with this book. There's a gem here and there for you to carry forever. Great stuff. An Inspiration I truly love this book.

Title: How to Get Sh*t Done Subtitle: Why Women Need to Stop Doing Everything So They Can Achieve Anything Author: Erin Falconer Narrator: Lauren Fortgang Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Erin Falconer, editor in chief and co-owner of the highly respected self-improvement site Pick the Brain (with over 1.8 million monthly page views), shows overscheduled, overwhelmed women how to do less so that they can achieve more. Women live in a state of constant guilt: that we're not doing enough, that we're not good enough, that we can't keep up. If we're not climbing the corporate ladder, building our side hustle, preparing home-cooked meals, tucking the kids in at night, meditating daily, and scheduling playdates, date nights, and girls' nights every week, we feel like we're not living our best lives. Yet traditional productivity books - written by men - barely touch the tangle of cultural pressures that women feel when facing down a to-do list. Finally, in the first productivity book by a woman in a decade, Erin Falconer will show you how to do less - a lot less. In fact, How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to offload, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest. As the founder of two technology start-ups and one of Refinery29's Top 10 Women Changing the Digital Landscape for Good, Erin has seen what happens when women chase an outdated, patriarchal model of productivity, and in How to Get Sh*t Done she shows how even the most perfectionistic among us can tap in to our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses rather than drudges. Packed with real-life advice, honest stories from Erin's successful career, and dozens of actionable resources, How to Get Sh*t Done will forever reframe productivity so that you can stop doing everything for everyone and start doing what matters to you. Members Reviews: A Must-Read for Women with Cluttered Lives This book is a must-read for women who want to truly understand why their minds and their lives feel so cluttered, making it nearly impossible to get anything done. Erin dissects the reasons behind our frantic, "busy" lives, and she shines a giant spotlight on some of the societal factors and expectations that uniquely affect women. She gives you permission to finally stop worrying so much about what other people think of you and what other people think you should be doing, and start focusing on the things that are actually important to YOU. Highly recommend! Put Your Oxygen Mask on First... I chose this book as a resource for starting the new year off right. I definitely was not disappointed. I have taken lots of courses and read a few books on prioritizing and getting things done, but Erin Falconer is the only woman centered one that I will definitely be recommending. Her practical plan, relateable anecdotes and conversational writing style made the book a pleasure to read. There are so many things I will be implementing. I think that this is a great reference piece for any woman, no matter how she defines her profession. Much more than a book on productivity Itâs not just another productivity book - Itâs much more. This book is packed with great suggestions on how to get the most important items on your list done.

Rejection Proof Audiobook by Jia Jiang

Title: Rejection Proof Subtitle: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection Author: Jia Jiang Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2197 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Rejection Proof is Jia Jiang's entertaining and inspiring account of conquering his fear of rejection, offering a completely new perspective on how to turn a no into a yes. Jia Jiang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. Despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed and spiraled into a period of deep self-doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his "100 days of rejection" experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis - from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loudspeaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings (yes, with a viral video to prove it). Jia learned that even the most preposterous wish may be granted if you ask in the right way, and here he shares the secret of successful asking, how to pick targets, and how to tell when an initial no can be converted into something positive. But more important, he learned techniques for steeling himself against rejection and ways to develop his own confidence - a plan that can't be derailed by a single setback. Filled with great stories and valuable insight, Rejection Proof is a fun and thoughtful examination of how to overcome fear and dare to live more boldly. Members Reviews: Never Waste A Rejection! This was such an enlightening little book. It goes beyond embracing fear, embracing rejection, and flows straight into embracing life: What a concept! You'll be tickled pink at how creative Jia Jiang gets in TRYING to find things to fail at. There's a positive joy in it. The key thing is that it takes practice to be resilient, practice to find joy and confidence despite the outcome. I've read/listened to many, many (oh GOD: MANY!) self-development books on fear, and this is the only one that has humor in it. Don't get me wrong, he started off as somebody absolutely dedicated to not trying, to living his life for other people, but he blossomed in a truly magnificent way. During each failure exercise, he analyzed and learned something new, and we can too. Personally, I have six rejection slips from agents, and the book got me thinking: What? Why so few?!? I have GOT to get out there and practice what this little book teaches. It's a wonderful text, narrated well, and it cracked me up. Inspiring...! No rejection here...! Easy and quick read. Kept me engaged and created excitement. Had me view rejection in a different light. Love the Cialdini reference :) An excellent book. This book demonstrates how changing one's perception of an obstacle can help overcome it. Great book for recently unemployed/career change If you have a friend who is struggling with unemployment or career change give this book to them. Action Cures Fear! Surprisingly enlightening! Rejection Proof was surprisingly enlightening! Along other things I discovered that overcoming fear and having fun are the keys to success!

I'm not one to write reviews, but this book is amazing! I couldn't stop listening! I really don't think you would be disappointed with this purchase. Awesome! One of the best books out there on finding your purpose and giving you the tools in "how to" follow through to do it...loved it! Hugely disappointing and poorly narrated This book was insanely disappointing. Filled with references to god and believing in a higher power that will guide you. The narrative is patchy made even patchier by the author's inability to stay on topic. He kept saying "back to the book now", that's how many times he diverted form the story. He was overly excited borderline shouting. I had turn down the volume so many times. I'm so disappointed! I'm returning this book

Title: The Defining Decade Subtitle: Why Your Twenties Matter - and How to Make the Most of Them Now Author: Meg Jay Narrator: Meg Jay Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 04-17-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1232 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Our "30-is-the-new-20" culture tells us that the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are an extended adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. But 30 is not the new 20. In this enlightening book, Dr. Meg Jay reveals how many twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation that has trivialized what are actually the most defining years of adulthood. Drawing from more than 10 years of work with hundreds of twentysomething clients and students, Dr. Jay weaves the science of the twentysomething years with compelling, behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings themselves. She shares what psychologists, sociologists, neurologists, reproductive specialists, human-resources executives, and economists know about the unique power of our 20s and how they change our lives. The result is a provocative and sometimes poignant listen that shows us why our 20s do matter. Our 20s are a time when the things we do - and the things we don't do - will have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come. Members Reviews: Essential reading for every 20 something Meg Jay is the shot of adrenaline that every struggling 20 something needs. She doesn't push, or lecture but rather presents sobering facts and nudges helpfully. Excellent - Time Well Spent What made the experience of listening to The Defining Decade the most enjoyable? Any additional comments? My twenty two year old daughter just graduated from college and will be moving out of state. My wife listened to the audio version and bought two hard cover copies, one for our daughter and one for our twenty something son who lives in another city. It must have struck a chord as these young adults couldn't put it down, and asked if Meg Jay had any other books (not yet). Essential for twenty-somethings everywhere If you are in your twenties or thirties or have a friend or child in their 20's, this is a must-read book. Meg Jay puts into perspective the effects of our choices (or lack thereof) in these critical years. It's a great wake-up call for people struggling to grow up and it tackes the hard issues like careers, marriage, and feeling like your life is worth something. Excellent book. Loved it! Something I definitely needed reinforced I already knew most of the things she talks about, but hearing the statistics and just a bit of encouragement and help to get things done always helps. I recommend this book to any twenty-something looking to set priorities, meet their goals and to get a game plan to succeed in their life. A must read for 20-somethings Any person going into or in their 20s should read this. It's not the sort of book that makes me think I should do everything it says. Rather, it gives you a few things to think about. I would listen to this repeatedly, just to see how the information grows on me.

Becoming Myself is a hope-filled audiobook for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change - if she will ever change. In Stasi Eldredges most intimate work yet, she shares her own struggles with self-worth, addiction, and her past as she shows listeners how God is faithfully bringing us to a life of freedom and wholeness. God desires to restore us, and he is able to restore us - the real us. As he heals our inner life he calls us to "rise to the occasion" of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the one into becoming her true self through the love of God. Its a beautiful paradox: The more Gods you become, the more yourself you become - the woman he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. Members Reviews: Powerful!! Would you consider the audio edition of Becoming Myself to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print version yet, but Stasi's passion and heart for her readers is crystal clear in her reading of Becoming.... Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes....I listened while working with constant pauses and interruptions so I listened again!! There is a powerful healing message in this book and I will listen again.... Awesome. This audible book really touched my heart!! Great message we are going to do a bible study on it and share this wonderful news with other women. I know it will bless them and open their eyes like it did me thank you Lord for the insight and direction of the Holy Spirit that you gave to Staci. A Life Changing Book!!! This book is truely inspirational. I read Captivating in college and loved it. Now married as a pastor's wife this book is inspirational, challenging and moving as you take those steps of becoming the woman God wants you to be. God has placed this much needed book, for any woman, at the right time in my life. Thank you so much Stasi for writting this book and being willing to read it aloud all the more powerful. Everyone you love I can't give this book enough praise. More than once, I was brought to tears in the truths that I needed to receive. Over and over Stasi spoke directly to my heart. All of the questions that tumble around in the back of my mind day after day, second guessing "Am I enough?" "Am I what I want to be?" "Am I where I want to be?" I want to know better and want to do better in Jesus's name. As a young girl, all of the positive affirmations given through Christ were just words to me. I could not make sense of them. They have all come alive now within me and Stasi has put the life into them for me! I thank God for her and this book! Read it, read it again, and then buy a copy for everyone you love! I Learned Who God Says My Wife Is I'd recommend this book for any woman who doesn't know that God sees her as priceless and captivating.

In Fast Focus, you'll discover: Members Reviews: Fundamentals for Focusing The book is organized in a simple, logical structure. It is divided into three parts: understanding focus, creating an environment for focus, and employing tactics to focus. It is important to experiment and select the techniques that work for you. The common causes for a lack of focus are lack of interest, negative emotions, poor organization, low energy levels, and lack of control. The top 10 obstacles to staying focused are mental fatigue, restlessness (boredom or feeling of anxiety), stress, interruptions, lack of mental clarity, unresolved problems, poor planning, physical clutter, social media (unable to resist checking apps), and your smartphone (when it rings or vibrates). Some elements to consider when creating an environment that will help you to fight distractions and concentrate: 1. Have sufficient lighting and take advantage of natural light 2. Minimize background noise that breaks your concentration (e.g., wearing headphones to listen to classical music or white noise to drown out conversations around you) 3. Be comfortable (e.g., fit of your clothes, height of chair and desk, and position of the monitor) 4. Ambient temperature (environment that is too warm or too cold temperature could affect productivity) 5. Air quality (get fresh air) 6. Scents that may improve mood - peppermint, cinnamon, pine, rosemary, basil, citrus, lavender, and cypress 7. Organize your workspace to allow you to focus on your work 8. Have a clock visible to track the time you allotted for tasks There are 23 tactics that can help improve your focus, such as set a timer, have five daily tasks, exercise, capture ideas quickly, identify triggers that lead to distractions, commit to single tasks, batch process similar tasks, arrange calendar into time chunks, disconnect, meditate, and create routines. Excellent I loved this book and it was very helpful in getting me organized with my full time job and going to graduate school. Fast Focus A very to the point approach to improve focus and reduce distractions. It was packed with a lot of information in a couple hours of listening Good tips Good overall tips. Great narration. Really enjoyed when the author stated what their preferred action was. I did learn new tips to old knowledge, like listening to classical music pieces in loops so as to not draw attention to the music. Probably has a Pavlovian response in your brain. Gréât Very good book.

Join Caroline Myss for this heart- and spirit-expanding event as she explores: Critic Reviews: "Caroline has done it again. With her brilliant writing style she is forging ahead to a new frontier of spirituality: awakening your full potential and revealing your contract with God." (Sylvia Browne, author of Life on the Other Side) Members Reviews: Great how and why spiritual read I've read bit and pieces of some of the author's teachings in other books, however no other author does such an excellent job of bringing it together. The author is one of the best I have ever heard at giving you a visual representation or example of meanings. Read the description given by Audible as this is not a replacement for the book but a compliment and the author will refer you to the book for some of the charts. By all means get both as they are excellent. You can benefit and enjoy the audio file here alone, but if you desire to do some of the chart work that is so helpful, buy the written book as well. Soul Agreements An absolutely amazing concept! After surviving a coma last year & being given the incredible gift of a Near Death Experience, I can tell you that her concepts are completely true. There are NO accidents. There are NO coincidences. EVERYTHING happens for a reason. We are 100% responsible for our lives because we co-created with The Creative Life Force Of The Universe the situations & relationships we agreed to experience during this & every incarnation. We do this for our own, the other beings & the Universes growth. I'm mystified as to how she gleaned this information. One thing she doesn't mention is that it's not just our relationships with other human beings that are crucial, but our relationships with ALL sentient beings. Dr. Myss beautifully expresses the information given to me on the other side. AN ACCEPTABLE CONCEPT TO UNDERSTAND LIFE Myss has developed a concept that allows the listener to develop a reason to be here in this life and to understand the events, both good and bad, that occur. The concept is an agreement that we make, prior to our incarnation into life, to learn and experience lessons. Others have agreed to appear in our life to assist us to learn the lessons and have the experiences. In the same way we have agreed to help others have their experiences. How does this help us to live? There are events that occur in our lives that are difficult to accept or to explain. Myss gives a framework that can be used to encompass all of life's events and to accept them within that framework even if we do not like the events themselves. Afterall we do not necessarily come to only experience nice events but also horrid ones. The lesson for the soul is more clinical than the lesson for the emotions and it helps to be able to understand the separation. Well worth the cost and the time to listen and re-listen. Do you know your archetypes? This audio book is meant to be read as a supplement to the book Sacred Contracts. It contains a lot of exercises involving archetypal patterns.

Title: The Champion's Mind Subtitle: How Great Athletes Think, Train, and Thrive Author: Jim Afremow Narrator: Eric Michael Summerer Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 06-11-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 361 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Sports participation - from the recreational to the collegiate Division I level - is at an all-time high. While the caliber of their game may differ, athletes at every level have one thing in common: they want to excel. In The Champion's Mind, sports psychologist Jim Afremow, PhD, LPC, now offers the same advice he uses with Olympians, Heisman Trophy winners, and professional athletes, including tips and techniques based on high-performance psychology research, such as how to get in a "zone", thrive on a team, and stay humble; how to progress within a sport and sustain excellence long-term, and customizable pre-performance routines to hit full power when the gun goes off or the puck is dropped. The Champion's Mind distills actionable advice into clear and concise steps for athletes looking to find confidence, concentration, and mental preparedness - the mental edge that sets champions apart. Critic Reviews: " The Champion's Mind is loaded with great lessons, advice, and perspectives on how to be successful." (Dan Jansen) Members Reviews: Excellent content, mediocre narrator Would you listen to The Champion's Mind again? Why? Yes, I listen to it frequently. While not an athlete, I find the concepts in the book very effective at keeping me focused and motivated in my work and life. What other book might you compare The Champion's Mind to and why? Win Forever, by Pete Carroll. More motivation and concepts to achieving greatness. Would you be willing to try another one of Eric Michael Summerers performances? Yes, but I'd prefer other narrators. Eric's narration is clear and understandable, but often sounds a bit mechanical and unnatural. Sometimes it's as if my computer is narrating for me. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I get extremely pumped and motivated for my week Any additional comments? Would be 10/10 if the narration were a bit better, but it's not so bad. I still listen to it frequently. must read extremely motivating book. well narrated. excellent for anyone wanting to gain a better mindset. go for gold Awesome Great advice for coaches and athletes...I recommend it for anyone who is serious about improving ...a must for every coach Good Book - Would Prefer In Print, Perhaps Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. It provides plenty of good ways to look at life. Very motivating not just for the athlete - but anyone looking to get ahead in whatever the endeavor. Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? Think Gold, and settle for nothing less. Any additional comments? Because there are many exercises and things that make more sense if you review them several times in a row, I bought the book. I would suggest listening to a chapter in the book first. THEN, using the book as mental refreshers to do the exercises and re-read the quotes. But overall, a very good instructional book for life. Enjoyed A lot of content and many great ideas. No get rich quick schemes and nor overwhelming. Em

Dr. Branden introduces the six pillars of self-esteem - six action-based practices for daily living. Here for the first time are simple but powerful exercises for increasing personal awareness and effectiveness. Exploring the importance of self-esteem in the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and society, Dr. Branden provides guidelines for those responsible for fostering self-esteem in others - and shows why a culture of self-esteem is imperative for survival in the 21st century. Critic Reviews: "The father of the concept of self-esteem has written his masterpiece." (Warren Bennis) "The ultimate work on self-esteem. Truly a classic." (T. George Harris, former editor of American Health and Psychology Today) Members Reviews: Like listening to a psych professor but no help. Spend your money on a book that offers you a way or ways to improve your self esteem. This book simply explains why yours is low. if that's what you want to know, then this is a good book. Note how many books this author has written on this topic...... Not very motivational High expectations The book was not very engaging nor motivational, too scholastic and dry as presentation. The ideas are on another hand precious and useful, would apply some. Really DULL!!!! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone who is having trouble getting to sleep - believe me this will help!!! Any additional comments? Very boring. The narration was dull but the actual script he had to work with was so boring! ok i did get a few things from it but generally this was no help at all. It was written like it was for a child, not an adult with actual self-esteem issues. Waste of money! :( Do not recommend Really regret this purchase. Content was so dry that it was difficult to pay attention. I found out in 2nd to last chapter the author had committed infidelity and felt as if I had wasted so much time listening to anything he had to say. Glad he learned something from it but I have no respect for that and definitely wish I had saved my money! Not for me. Any additional comments? Like a lot of other reviewers, I found this very old fashioned and boring, not really anything new or relevant to the world we live in today.

Title: Willpower Subtitle: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength Author: Roy Baumeister, John Tierney Narrator: Denis O'Hare Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-06-11 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1594 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: For years, our concept of the self and well-being has been dominated by the notion of self-esteem, while the old fashioned value of willpower has been disparaged by psychologists who argued that were largely driven by unconscious forces beyond our control. In Willpower Baumeister and Tierney turn this misinformation on its head to reveal self-control as arguably the single most powerful indicator of success. Baumeister discovered that willpower actually has a physical basis to it: it is like a muscle that can be strengthened with practice, and fatigued from overuse. Thats why eating and sleeping - and especially failing to do either of those - have such dramatic effects on self-control. Yet, while self-control is biologically rooted, we have the capacity to manipulate our nature. Willpower features personal stories from entrepreneurs, executives, parents and children who have managed to do just that. The characters range from Victorian explorers to modern homemakers, from college students pulling all nighters to entertainers. The practical lessons in self-control conditioning they provide are nothing short of life changing. Combining the best of modern social science with the practical wisdom of David Allen, Ben Franklin, and others, Baumeister and Tierney here share the definitive compendium of modern lessons in willpower. Members Reviews: Self-help without the hooey I listened to this book because of a positive review I read, and I am glad I did. I am always skeptical of the "7 Habits" kind of stuff about making improvements, so I was a little concerned about where this book might be going. But the authors aren't really pretending to change your life with extravagant claims. They lay out some of the science behind how self-control works in human beings in an accessible but not fluffy way, and they make a few practical suggestions about how you might make use of that knowledge. You could change your life considerably, but it is mostly up to you. This was an entertaining, practical look at something we all have experience with but about which most of us (until now) haven't understood very much. The Holy Grail Okay, there is no Holy Grail! I know that I find value in an audiobook when I have listened to it several times. This is one of a couple that fall in that category. I've had a recent explosion in my life. I'm happier, more positive, I'm doing better, I'm getting things done, I'm more confident, and as I alluded to in a previous review, I kid you not, I've had more smiles thrown my way than in my lifetime! Yes, I've shed a few pounds, but I think there is a little positive aura following me instead of that dark cloud. In fairness, It's not just one book. In fact, the initial spark was me needing change. I was at one of those points in life where I needed to be more productive, happier, etc. Point is, I needed to go somewhere - I just didn't know where or how, and a few books are helping me pave a path. I got sick of listening to "rah, rah" books, instead searching for books that provide scientific proof of why I act in certain manners, many times contrary to my goals. This is one of several books that are relevant in my recent successes: Positive Intelligence, Positivity, Getting Things Done and The Power of Habit are others.

Title: The Practicing Mind Subtitle: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life Author: Thomas M. Sterner Narrator: Thomas M. Sterner Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 11-12-10 Publisher: Mountain Sage Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6248 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Present moment awareness is an essential ingredient in life if one expects to experience any degree of authentic peace and contentment. It has been acknowledged for centuries as the cornerstone of spiritual awakening in all traditions of Eastern thought. In the West, however, it is still a relatively unrecognized concept for living. The Western mind is always restless, never content with the moment. Its internal dialogue is always firing off thoughts filled with emotional content and pulling the individual out of the present and into the past or future. But individuals raised in Western culture are becoming increasingly aware of their overall sense of mental exhaustion, their lack of discipline and their inability to focus on demand. They are willing to expend the energy necessary to experience inner peace and a quiet mind that is waiting to follow the direction of their will. They are realizing that the endless struggle to fulfill the insatiable appetite of instant gratification is fruitless and tiresome at best. They are ripe for a new path in life and eager for a new set of instructions. This is the purpose of The Practicing Mind. It comprehensively deals with helping the individual understand exactly what present-moment awareness is, how we are raised in a manner contradictory to this, and how we change our mindset to make this a part of our daily living. This book is accessible to listeners of all philosophical backgrounds. Regardless of your perspective, you will find the book's insights most compelling. Members Reviews: Some great takeaways despite the robotic narration The positive: - I tend to get overwhelmed with large or stressful tasks and either procrastinate on starting or fail to complete them. The concept of taking your time and going slowly about your activities one little section at a time to get more done was a great take-away for me. - Many books on mindfulness are philosophical treatises, where this one gave some very practical exercises to practice during everyday activities, allowing the reader to immediately test the ideas and put them to use. - I also appreciated the comparisons of cultures being process oriented versus wanting fast results and how this affects the quality of the finished product. That section was worth reflection and perhaps a second listen. The slight negative: While I appreciate narrators who speak clearly and annunciate their words, the author over annunciated to the point of distraction. I had to listen at 1.25 speed to make it more tolerable to listen to. This remedied the problem for me. Overall, very worth the listen. I recommend this book for the wisdom and insights that the practical exercises will bring you. Simple & Profound I tend to be bitterly disappointed by self-help books but decided to try this one when events and challenges in my life began to get the best of me. Inspired by one of the reviews about the power of Sterner's ideas, I purchased the audiobook. Today I'm so happy I did so. The book is definitely a keeper, and I plan to listen to it over and over again until cultivation of "the practicing mind" replaces the habit of self-judgment and fear of failure.

You Can Be Happy No Matter What Audiobook by Richard Carlson

Title: You Can Be Happy No Matter What Subtitle: Five Principles Your Therapist Never Told You Author: Richard Carlson Narrator: Richard Carlson Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-12 Publisher: New World Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 222 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Most of us believe that our happiness depends on the outside world - and that by solving our problems, improving our relationships, or achieving success, we will find contentment. In You Can Be Happy No Matter What, Dr. Richard Carlson shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control. His simple and practical guide teaches 5 principles - Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment - for discovering a new mode of living that doesn't repress natural emotions, yet where feelings and thoughts don't overwhelm us. Dr. Carlson is the best-selling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. Critic Reviews: "...Shows us...how to remove the blocks to the awareness of our natural state, happiness." (Gerald Jampolsky, Love is Letting Go of Fear) "...[Counterbalances] the therapy junkie's tendency to wallow in 'processing' while life's beauty passes them by." (Yoga Journal) Members Reviews: Brilliant and Life Changing Three Principals Book A great introduction to Syd Bank's Three Principles. If you have listened or read Elsie Spittle, Michael Neill or Damian Mark Smyth's " Do Nothing" then you will love this book. It takes the Three Principles ideas of Mind, Consciousness and Thought and turns them into a primer for living our every day lives with happiness, joy and contentment. One of the best books ever on the Three Principles and a real life changer if you follow with action in your life. I can't imagine how wonderful the world would be if everyone in the world read and followed the practical ideas in their everyday lives. Important information with Well, this title is not as brilliant and vibrant as "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!. It's rather like a textbook on a good topic. But if you give it a fair chance, you'll get as much stuff as Richard Carlson's masterpiece works. His approach for "handling stress" in later chapters is quite original. I simply loved it. LIFE CHANGER Richard's Carlson's writing has changed my life over the last 20 years by introducing and supporting the idea that my thinking is not reality and my thoughts are not real. A must read The earlier in life you read this book the better! It should be re-read at the beginning of each year as a re-fresher. Easy to grasp and freeing! The science about how thoughts occur was fascinating. I have been giving my thoughts too much credibility!

But only if it is legitimate. Sometimes misinterpreted and often misunderstood, ambition - true ambition - is not a selfish quality. It is not another word for ruthless; it is not something to be shunned or subdued. Legitimate ambition is an honorable trait. At its very best, our ambition serves us and other people. In fact, pursuing your ambition is one of the most selfless things you can do. In The Power of Ambition: Unleashing the Conquering Drive Within You, renowned speaker and author Jim Rohn reevaluates the role of ambition in all aspects of our lives, exploring the facts, debunking the fiction and revealing the six life-changing steps anyone can take to build their legitimate ambition. Let Jim Rohn be your guide as you learn how to use your ambition not only to change what is going on around you, but what is going on within you. Along the way, you will also learn: True ambition is a disciplined, eager desire for achievement. It is a state of mind, a way of life. With The Power of Ambition you can take charge of your own personal happiness, chart your own course through life and let your legitimate ambition create whatever you desire, take you wherever you want to go. Members Reviews: Amazing Jim Rohn is a master teacher, a million dollar mentor. If you have a humble heart and are teachable, Jim will help you in ways you could not imagine as he narrates his own work. It's as if he has sat you down at the kitchen table and lays it our for you just you. Listen to it many times - start a journal and take notes and apply....watch yourself grow. It has changed my life emotionally, spiritually and financially. Powerful , awakens the Hunger to become more !!! We should be teaching our children The Power of Ambition !! Amazing how late in life we start leaning the things that count. what an amazing man. Of all the personal development books that I've listened to (nearly 25 in the last 10 months) this is the only one that actually gets me to jump up and do the work, to not procrastinate, and to feel confident and ambitious. The other books definitely make me feel good and think about what to do, but this one actually makes me jump up and do stuff that I've put off. A must read. Turning Drive into Over Drive on Steroids Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I highly recommend Jim Rohn's programs. This one is especially great to help you get off dead center. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power of Ambition? Success is: steady progress toward your own personal goals, the person you want to be, daily, weekly, monthly, annually, your life. This hits home and breaks it down to practical application. What about Jim Rohns performance did you like? He's easy going, easy to listen to and has been one of my favorites for over 25 years. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Going into a new year, this was my shot in the arm to become better in all areas of my life. Any additional comments? Buy it today and take action in your life. Covered everything I would never have thought of. Would you listen to The Power of Ambition again? Why? I don't normally write reviews. This was so well written, I felt I had to. I will definitely be listening to this book again, many times.

Title: Unf--k Your Habitat Subtitle: You're Better Than Your Mess Author: Rachel Hoffman Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Finally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those of us who'd describe our current living situation as a "f--king mess" that we "really need to get around to fixing one day". Unf--k Your Habitat is for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems - the ones that ignore single people with full-time jobs, people without kids but living with roommates, and people with mental illnesses or physical limitations. Most organizational books are aimed at stay-at-home moms and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins to match our table runners, and can keep plants alive for longer than a week. Basically, they ignore most of us living here in the real world. Interspersed with lists and challenges, this practical, no-nonsense guide helps you develop lifelong habits. It motivates you to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections so you can start applying the tactics as you progress. This philosophy is more realistic than aspirational, but the goal is the same: not everyone will have a showcase of a home, but whatever your habitat, you deserve for it to bring you happiness, not stress. Critic Reviews: "Unf--k Your Habitat has the potential to change your life and to improve your mental outlook in truly beautiful ways." (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs) Members Reviews: It Works I saw a few bad reviews of this audio book, so I almost didn't pick it up, but I do love the ufyh blog, so I thought I'd give it a shot. THEN I saw it was narrated by Emily Woo Zeller, who also narrated another self-help-for-messy-people book in my library, and I was sold. Zeller has an engaging voice, and I really enjoy her readings. But the ultimate test of a self-help book is whether or not it initiated any change in attitude or behavior. And this one did. I actually cleaned stuff! I cleaned lots of stuff. I did like five loads of laundry, folded it, and the put it away! (I know you don't know me, but if you did, you would be flabbergasted) Are you going to learn a magical secret that will make cleaning happen like magic? No. But when have you ever heard anything in a self-help book that you didn't already know? What you will get is a friendly slap on the back of the head that WILL help you start dealing with your clutter and mess in a positive, healthy way, and if you're looking for a book on how to clean your house, that's what you really need, isn't it? I highly recommend listening to this audio book while you clean. It kept me engaged and giggling through what would have otherwise been a horrible process. Better than most decluttering books. Have depression? How about anxiety? Got a situation that most decluttering books don't address? This book is written for those of us who live in the real world. If you aren't sensitive to the occasional f-bomb, then this is the book for you. fabulous a great and hilarious read. totally useful advise for anyone of any age who wants some cleanliness in thier life. Good advice, lost in the clutter This book is 80% "don't be so hard on yourself, life is SO HAAAARD" and 20% good advice.

A lot of funny parts and stories that resonated. Awesome! I love the way he narrates -it makes me laugh while the point he makes resonates. I sometimes pause to take it in and apply to current events. Helpful guide to facing inner fears that many times hold us back. Very practical I believe that this book is a complete practical guide for building self confidence. While I'm happy with my present life and success, every topic/problem/solution discussed by Dr. Aziz in this book resonates one hundred percent with me and reminds me that I can be much better happier person. I highly recommend everyone to read this book or listen :-) Finally! This book really is life changing! I've read a lot of books about motivation, self development and trying to 'fix' whatever isn't working in your life. Most of them spend 90% trying to help you figure out why you might have whatever issues you have, and 10% giving any actionable solution. This book is 100% about giving you real, usable tools to make the changes in your life. This book actually got me off my @$$ and into real action. I feel better than I have in years and am so thankful to Dr. Aziz. This isn't a quick fix that will fizzle out once the novelty wears off either......it creates real, lasting change. I hope that anyone struggling with anything in their life will read/listen to this book. It's my new 'users manual' for my life! And on a side note, Dr. Aziz is very pleasant to listen to....he reads this book like a friend just having a conversation with you. This Book is AMAZING!!! I love this author and his advice! He is amazing and I am buying all of his books. Could not more highly recommend this book! And I have read a lot of books.

The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness Audiobook by Timothy Keller

Title: The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness Subtitle: The Path to True Christian Joy Author: Timothy Keller Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 42 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-13 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 479 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: 'What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?' This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He's not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep-rooted, life-altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to "make it", the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self-forgetfulness. In this short and punchy audiobook, best-selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel-humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self-condemnation. A truly gospel-humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person. This freedom can be yours. Members Reviews: A great little audiobook Any additional comments? This is an excellent little book, well worth taking the time to listen. Although short in length it is packed with wisdom, well read, and challenging. Keller's focus is on developing a healthy sense of self by taking our focus off ourselves, freedom in self-forgetfulness. Great teaching! Nice book! I listen to it regularly to be reminded of this essential truth! I really recommend it! A must read for Christians struggling with low self esteem This book is the biblical answer to self help but it goes so much deeper than self help ever could. By identifying why believing in ourselves is never enough Tim Keller has opened my eyes to some real truths that give me peace. Killed my ego--saved my future! I'm competitive. No, I'm hyper-competitive. And it's mostly about my ego. I simply want to win. As a pastor and leader my bent is to want to compete in that arena as well. But my ego can get in the way of hearing from God clearly. Keller's insights in The Freedom of Self-forgetfulness have helped me kill my ego driven hyper competitive spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to take the reigns again. And I'm regaining a peaceful and joyful spirit in its place. Henry and Richard Blackaby tell us that leadership is the ability to move people onto God's agenda in their excellent book, Spiritual Leadership. I agree with that definition and now thanks to a spirit that isn't as ego driven I'm able to hear from God more clearly about His agenda for me and for the church I'm called to lead. Life changing As someone who has battled "low self-esteem," this book is transformative. Such a wonderful reminder of why we are called to "fix our eyes on Jesus." When our gaze is on self, wether we think too high or too low of ourselves, it is pride.

We yearn for progress. And yet, many of us fail to achieve the transformations we desire.

Title: For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y'all Too Subtitle: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education Author: Christopher Emdin Narrator: JD Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 188 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A New York Times Best Seller Featured in: MotherJones.com, Education Week, Weekend All Things Considered with Michel Martin, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, PBS NewsHour.com, Slate, The Washington Post, Scholastic Administrator Magazine, Essence Magazine, Salon, ColorLines, Ebony.com, Huffington Post Education Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, a prominent scholar offers a new approach to teaching and learning for every stakeholder in urban education. Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color, and merging his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America, award-winning educator Christopher Emdin offers a new lens on an approach to teaching and learning in urban schools. He begins by taking to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student's culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning. Putting forth his theory of reality pedagogy, Emdin provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators alike - both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the "Seven C's" of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education. Lively, accessible, and revelatory, For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y'all Too is the much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the landscape of urban education for the better. Critic Reviews: "JD Jackson narrates Emdin's words with such focus that listeners will be all the more keenly drawn to the discussion. Jackson's deep and raspy voice has a gentle tone that makes it sound like the quintessential teacher voice - one that draws attention with kindness and hope and speaks with students, not at them. Author and narrator will strongly connect with educators..." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Worth the listen I purchased the audiobook For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education by Christopher Emdin, Narrated by JD Jackson last school year when it first became available on Audible. The sample had me engaged almost immediately, but I waited to listen to it until now because with summer break it ending, I wanted these ideas fresh in my mind as the new school year begins. I am going into my 19th year teaching high school Spanish and English. I am a white teacher who works in the hood; I am one of the reasons this book exists. After hearing the sample, I thought the overall tone of this book was going to be informative, but entertaining, and perhaps even a bit humerous and inspirational.

Playing Big Audiobook by Tara Mohr

Title: Playing Big Subtitle: Find Your Voice, Your Mission, Your Message Author: Tara Mohr Narrator: Tara Mohr Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-14 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 302 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A groundbreaking women's leadership expert and popular conference speaker gives women the practical skills to voice and implement the changes they want to see - in themselves and in the world. In her coaching and programs for women, Tara Mohr saw how women were "playing small" in their lives and careers, were frustrated by it, and wanted to "play bigger". She has devised a proven way for them to achieve their dreams by playing big from the inside out. Mohr's work helping women play bigger has earned acclaim from the likes of Maria Shriver and Jillian Michaels, and has been featured on the Today show, CNN, and a host of other media outlets. Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In gave many women new awareness about what kinds of changes they need to make to become more successful; yet most women need help implementing them. In the tradition of Brené Brown's Daring Greatly, Playing Big provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, "unhook" from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive good girl habits, and begin taking bold action. While not all women aspire to end up in the corner office, every woman aspires to something. Playing Big fills a major gap among women's career books; it isn't just for corporate women. The audiobook offers tools to help every woman play bigger - whether she's an executive, community volunteer, artist, or stay-at-home mom. Thousands of women across the country have been transformed by Mohr's program, and now this book makes the ideas and practices available to everyone who is ready to play big. Members Reviews: Life-altering in all the good ways Would you listen to Playing Big again? Why? Yes I'm already on my second listen and I brought the paperback too so I could refer to the journalling questions. Every now and then I come across a book that makes a huge impact on me and this is one. I will be referring back to it many times I'm sure, and I have already recommended it to many friends. What was one of the most memorable moments of Playing Big? Identifying the Inner Critic has been the biggest moment for me so far but I still have work to do. I love how Tara doesn't just talk about the theory of an Inner Critic but also gives you real practical tools for identifying and characterising that voice so that you can be more aware of your default self-criticisms and what they really mean. Which scene was your favorite? The Inner Critic chapter and the Inner Mentor chapter are mind blowing; plus the chapter on the two different types of Fear and also Leaping. What insight do you think youll apply from Playing Big? I have already applied many of the breakthroughs I've had to my personal and professional life; particularly in taking Leaps, and unhooking from Praise and Criticism. I was also surprised by many things I learnt from exploring my Inner Critic and Inner Mentor -and this process has helped me approach pretty much everything in my life with more calm and a greater compassion for myself. Any additional comments? I'm so grateful I found this book. If you struggle with self doubt, uncertainty with your purpose or anxiety about feedback then I am certain this book will help you, especially if you are a woman. It is smart, practical and also has a nice balance of spiritual content.

Flourish Audiobook by Martin Seligman

Title: Flourish Subtitle: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being Author: Martin Seligman Narrator: Jesse Boggs Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-11 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 500 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: This book will help you flourish. With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his first book in 10 years - and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman has led for 15 years, is different: its about actually raising the bar for the human condition. Flourish builds on Dr. Seligmans game-changing work on optimism, motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life, unveiling an electrifying new theory of what makes a good life - for individuals, for communities, and for nations. In a fascinating evolution of thought and practice, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about. While certainly a part of well-being, happiness alone doesnt give life meaning. Seligman now asks, What is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish? Well-being takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or Positive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishmentor PERMA, the permanent building blocks for a life of profound fulfillment. Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and public policy - the very fabric of society - Flourish tells inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action, including how the entire U.S. Army is now trained in emotional resilience; how innovative schools can educate for fulfillment in life and not just for workplace success; and how corporations can improve performance at the same time as they raise employee well-being. With interactive exercises to help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the understanding of happiness as well as a tool for getting the most out of life. On the cutting edge of a science that has changed millions of lives, Dr. Seligman now creates the ultimate extension and capstone of his best-selling classics, Authentic Happiness and Learned Optimism. Critic Reviews: Brilliant, beautiful, useful, and true. How many books can you say that about? Well, you can say it for sure about Flourish. Written by a master of research as well as a thoroughly joyful man, Flourish will allow you to flourish if you simply read the book and follow its sane, sage, ground-breaking advice. Skeptics, beware! This book will prove you wrong. You actually can plan your way to a joyful and fulfilling life. Read and rejoice! (Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Shine: Using Brain Science to Bring the Best from Your People) Members Reviews: A rambling tease. Having read (listened to) Selignan's AUTHENTIC HAPPINESS, I was already convinced that Dr. S. is onto something, and hoping that in this book he'd show us how to put his theories into practice.

Living the Law of One 101 Audiobook by Carla L. Rueckert

Rueckert Narrator: Jim McCarty Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-17 Publisher: L/L Research Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Written with the intent of creating an entry-level report concerning the core principles of the Law of One and Confederation philosophy in general, this book takes the listener through a discussion of Law of One principles such as unity, free will, love, light, and polarity. It then works with the Confederation version of the concept that each person has an energy body with seven chakras. It discusses this concept and its implications for the seeker, chakra by chakra. It turns the player into a Player! This is a light-hearted book about the Game of Life. It is an easy listen, and yet the principles of the Law of One are not simplified. Rather, they are offered in an order which makes coherent sense. Principle builds upon principle to offer an overall view of Confederation philosophy which is a bit easier to grasp as a whole than the original Law of One books, where the question-and-answer format offers the same information in a somewhat fragmented form, although with endless interest. If you would like to play the Game of Life with Carla, please give this book a try! Members Reviews: Thank You Thank you Carla, your sweet soul and words are an immeasurable gift to this distortion, and those of the Ra soul group beyond. In Light and Love. Colossal Hugs Authentic The information rang true. I learned more about the nature of each energy chakra than I had elsewhere. A Big Picture book in the truest sense. I'm grateful to have heard it. Monotonous Narration - Poor Summary of Law of One I hope people dont hate me for my criticisms of this audiobook, however I feel that the narration was monotonous and although I have great respect for the law of one teaching this, this summary is not a very good summary of the Law of One. Perhaps its just the format of channeled material. I know that several books, in this series, were planned but never completed. So perhaps thats what makes this book fall short, in my opinion. Several chapters were devoted entirely to the colors and the meanings of the chakras. I feel that this time and space couldve been better spent teaching Law of One principles. Regardless, its hard to really feel good about saying anything negative about the Law of One. However, I have even encountered better teachings regarding the Law of One through free videos! So in short, I suppose that theres no real short cut. Just read all of the Law of One books and that way one wont miss the principles or messages. That information is best absorbed using printed books! law of one for dummies this book is a must read if you haven't read law of one then this will definitely intrigue you. Finally here. I read the book, but I prefer a human voice - this is finally here and it's wonderful. !!

Title: The Voice of Knowledge Subtitle: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace Author: Don Miguel Ruiz Narrator: Peter Coyote Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-22-05 Publisher: Amber Allen Publishing Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 935 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Before we learn to speak, our true nature is to love and be happy, to explore and enjoy life. As little children, we are completely authentic. Our actions are guided by instinct and emotions, we listen to the silent "voice of our integrity". Once we learn to speak, the people around us hook our attention and program us with knowledge. The "voice of knowledge" comes alive inside our head, and what is that voice telling us? Mostly lies. That voice never stops talking, judging, gossiping, and abusing us. It constantly sabotages our happiness and keeps us from enjoying a reality of truth and love. Ruiz shows us how to recover the silent voice of our integrity and find inner peace. When the voice of knowledge no longer controls us, our life becomes an expression of our authentic self, just as it was before we learned to speak. Then we return to the truth, we return to love, and we live in happiness again. Members Reviews: lovely but abridged I loved the other Don Miguel Ruiz audios and they are transforming me... but I would not have ordered this one had I realized it was abridged. The others are not, so I didn't even check. With that said, I still gleaned a lot from the book but wanted to mention the abridgement in case that is important to other potential listeners. You will feel much more in touch with your real 'Self' after listening to Toltec wisdom. change the story! Change the story in your head and stop believing all the lies you have told yourself, and other people have told you. Believe in light and love and kindness; pray to be shown the way. A very inspirational book!!! A new way to see yourself and others This is a beautiful and gentle way of seeing others and yourself in a much more compassionate way. Knowing that everything we are programmed with is just a habit that has been deeply entrenched over the millenia. The beauty about a habit is that it's changeable when you do another behaviour instead. This resonated with me I found the first chapter to be kind of a strugle but it definitely got better from there. The author's metaphore is simple and altruistic. I liked his view of the "Truth" and "lies" and found it refreshing and simple way of dealing with one's self and surroundings. I hope I can silence the "lies" as he puts it. Easily worth the time and money for me. Beautiful and profound This is a must for all seekers. There are no words to explain, what Miguel does in this book.

Title: Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude Author: Napoleon Hill Narrator: David White Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-08 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 604 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Your mind has a secret invisible talisman. On one side is emblazoned the letters PMA (positive mental attitude) and on the other the letters NMA (negative mental attitude). A positive attitude will naturally attract the good and the beautiful. The negative attitude will rob you of all that makes life worth living. Your success, health, happiness, and wealth depend on how you make up your mind! When motivational pioneer Napoleon Hill and millionaire CEO W. Clement Stone teamed up to form one of the most remarkable partnerships of all time, the result was Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, the phenomenon that proposed to the world that with the right attitude, anyone can achieve his or her dreams. Now you can take advantage of the program that has brought success to generations of people seeking, and finding, a better way to live. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: Happiness and endless possibilities await Even though I was already a generally happy person, I bought this book to help improve my attitude regarding the things I didn't like at work. This book has not only taught me how to get rid of those negative feelings, but also how to turn dissatisfaction into motivation to excel. I now enjoy all aspects of my job, and I'm completing more tasks with higher quality. But the book's lessons do not only apply to the office. I have a new outlook on life, because the book made me realize the endless possibilities that are available to my family and me. It provides both motivation and principles that when followed have but no choice than to lead to success. Different people will relate to different topics in the book, so some sections are less interesting than others, but I definitely recommend this book to everyone! Excellent book Very inspiring book and motivational. This self help book not only helps to motivate but it really puts in perspective on, "what do you really stand for in this life?" " does your life have any meaning in the position that you are in?" And that what makes a change I am buying this book for my family members what I needed Thank you Lord God is so Faithful Am This book found me right were I was, in need of getting my mind right...I had just left my therapist for anxiety...all is better now, and getting better everyday Its another standard you have to absorb. Another one to get under your belt for self improvement and different ways of looking at things. It is nice to know this stuff was out there for decades ago. I wish I read it when I was young. It will give you more indepth info on the PMA concept and you should do it, even if some examples seem older. A Classic There isn't going to be much for me to add to what has already been said about this book and these two authors. It may be an older title, and some of the examples given in the book reference companies that are no longer in existence but the core ideas, values, and lessons remain timeless. I guess that speaks volumes about the authors and what a firm grip on their subject matter they had. This is one of those classics that you'll want to hear at least every year. It might be my favorite Audible title of this genre.

Title: Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life Subtitle: The New Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Author: Spencer Smith, Steven C. Hayes Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 200 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a new approach to psychotherapy that reevaluates our most basic assumptions about mental health, and details how ACT can help you to embrace life and everything it has to offer. Critic Reviews: "If you're tired of standard psychological parlance and still frustrated with your quality of life, this book can be a godsend." (Martha Beck, columnist for O Magazine) "Trying to 'change' negative thoughts through cognitive gymnastics is like trying to win a war single-handedly. Why waste a life trying the impossible? In Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, advocate Dr. Steven Hayes escorts the mildly depressed, angry, and anxiety prone through a new approach to handling suffering - universal human suffering caused by language's illusions. Rather than fighting off bad thoughts and feelings with internal pep talks, Hayes beautifully explains how to embrace those pessimistic and foreboding mental voices (much like welcoming home one's cranky, play-worn children), 'defuse' them with respectful attention, and commit to leading a purposeful life that includes their occasional ranting." (Amazon.com review) Members Reviews: Mindfulness Psychology - But Get The Book Would you listen to Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life again? Why? There are many insights to gain from this book from a mindfulness standpoint. I have read many books on meditation and mindfulness but nothing that has put so much into easy use to help mindfulness yourself from your thoughts.Why Buy The Book? - See Narrator Comments. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Boehmer? The narrator has very pleasant voice - but there is no emotion, the pace is so constant with little inflection that it is very robotic. The Narration is so robotic it really could have been a robo-voice, but if you ever listened to Text-To-Speech from TextAloud, it is more natural than the narrator. I returned the book because I could not listen to the mind numbing pace, even at 1.10 speed it was faster, but the pace is the same. You need someone with a PASSION for this work to read the book. The Gub-Gub goes Whooooooo! Amazing book a must read for anyone struggling with unhealthy thoughts! Full of very helpful strategies to stop avoiding fearful situations.. This book can help change your life A great book for anyone with a word machine This is very interesting and will probably help millions of people. As a therapist I find this book very usefull, for myself and my clients. A great supplement to traditional cbt, with many good examples and explanations. ACT can be like a Matrix experience for some people. This book is serious written with humor in a caring way. Love is not every thing, its the only thing. -Steven Hayes, 2016 Best self-help book for anxiety I have found I have problem with anxiety (generalized and social) and about year ago I started reading and listening books about this topic. This book was second one I picked and turn out to be the best. I listened it several times and each time I find something new. ACT therapy is not easy so if someone seriously struggle maybe it is better to look for therapist to help work with material and provide guidance.

Break out of your shell and live boldly. All the goals you have, all the people you are jealous of, and the life you want to live are unlocked by one simple key: Bulletproof Confidence. Everybody wants it, but how do you get it? More than "fake it 'til you make it" or "just smile more". Bulletproof Confidence is filled with real, actionable advice for your life today. It's not generic, borderline useless advice you can read in any blog post online. This book will take you on a deep dive into the depth of confidence, self-perception, and the psychology of confidence - understand yourself so you can break through your mental barriers. Everything from psychology, biology, and even cognitive behavioral therapy is referenced in giving you the tools to feel more invincible on a daily basis. Finally feel comfortable in your own skin. Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and sought-after social skills coach and trainer. He was also one of the roundest children you've ever seen, and understands the pains and processes of confidence like few others. This book was written by someone who knows exactly what you're thinking and how you're hurting. Members Reviews: Confidence Can Be Learned Some authors pad the material they want to convey to the reader with loosely associated connections to their subject. This book is not very long that is true. It also is not padded with useless information, it gets right to the point and stays on point throughout the book. The information is concise yet thorough. There is no need for the author to try and make the material complicated. The primary message is that results is based upon taking action. The author lays out a practical and useful plan that when placed into action will help the reader either gain the once elusive quality of confidence or improve an already attained partial confidence. Once again the narration was superb, which makes it all the more easy to comprehend and take in the concept and process of developing confidence. The narrator is terrible I couldnt get past the first 30 minutes of the book because I was so annoyed by the narrator loved it! You dont need to be lacking confidence to enjoy this book. I found that it is beneficial in trying to understand others, as well. New found confidence I really enjoyed Patricks book on confidence and gave me some brand new tools that I can use in my search to become a better version of myself.

Title: Creative Confidence Subtitle: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All Author: David Kelley, Tom Kelley Narrator: Dan Woren Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-15-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 533 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: IDEO founder and Stanford d.school creator David Kelley and his brother Tom Kelley, IDEO partner and the author of the bestselling The Art of Innovation, have written a powerful and compelling book on unleashing the creativity that lies within each and every one of us. Too often, companies and individuals assume that creativity and innovation are the domain of the "creative types." But two of the leading experts in innovation, design, and creativity on the planet show us that each and every one of us is creative. In an incredibly entertaining and inspiring narrative that draws on countless stories from their work at IDEO, the Stanford d.school, and with many of the world's top companies, David and Tom Kelley identify the principles and strategies that will allow us to tap into our creative potential in our work lives, and in our personal lives, and allow us to innovate in terms of how we approach and solve problems. It is a book that will help each of us be more productive and successful in our lives and in our careers. Critic Reviews: " Creative Confidence is a myth-busting, muscle-building gem of a book. It shatters the false belief that only some people are creative. Then it provides a smart, practical action plan for boosting your innovative capacities. If you want to be more creative, read the Kelley brothers' words, follow their advice, and thenas they'd tell you - do something!" (Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive, A Whole New Mind, and To Sell is Human) Members Reviews: A dull pointless book What would have made Creative Confidence better? The book was just plain repetitive. Beyond make a rapid prototype, research your end user and test the work quickly they have very little to offer. What could Tom Kelley and David Kelley have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I was hoping for concrete examples, even anecdotes of their thinking in action. These are few and far between. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dan Woren? I would have cast someone with a more lively delivery. Dan Woren was monotonous and dull. Just not enough there for me My expectation was history, examples, methods on stirring creative juices from some of the biggest design innovators out there. There were a few very good tips/techniques on starting and fostering creativity within teams and on the job. But not a lot, and nothing really out of the ordinary or truly eye-opening. Beyond that, a lot of time spent in the story on other subjects about how to be good, respected people. Likely the worst audiobook I've listened to Would you try another book from Tom Kelley and David Kelley and/or Dan Woren? Not after listening to this one. Would you ever listen to anything by Tom Kelley and David Kelley again? Doubt it. Would you be willing to try another one of Dan Worens performances? Yes, performance was fine. The content of this book is horrendous. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Annoyance that these mindless ideas were compiled into a book. I had high hopes after seeing a few recommendations, but honestly, I have no idea how this book could impress anyone. Many examples are from IT, technology and large corporations, so they have little bearing on solopreneurs or small businesses.

The Pilgrimage Audiobook by Paulo Coelho

Title: The Pilgrimage Author: Paulo Coelho Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-09 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 684 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Step inside this captivating account of Paulo Coehlo's pilgrimage along the road to Santiago. This fascinating parable explores the need to find one's own path. In the end, we discover that the extraordinary is always found in the ordinary and simple ways of everyday people. Part adventure story, part guide to self-discovery, this compelling tale delivers the perfect combination of enchantment and insight. Members Reviews: Excellent, Favorite Coelho Book So Far! What did you love best about The Pilgrimage? Fantastic example of a well written "hero's journey" style novel. What other book might you compare The Pilgrimage to and why? The Alchemist is similar yet very different, loved them both. What insight do you think youll apply from The Pilgrimage? Sometimes it takes a real "break" from the routine to appreciate what's already in front of your face! Any additional comments? Me = middle aged, educated, married, husband and dad, professional, executive always seeking, learning, finding depth and meaning to life ... if that describes you too, then READ THIS BOOK! A different path of the Peaceful Warrior This was my first book from the author and I'm not even sure what drew me to it, but sometimes the universe just works that way and you go with it. Much like The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior, the book tells a story about a man on a quest he doesn't really fully understand. Along the way, he finds a guide who leads, pushes, and forces inner exploration that takes him to a higher place than he imagined. The book is definitely spiritual, but not religious. Despite being about a pilgrimage along the Road to Santiago with some religious references, the story isn't about church or practices of the church. Rather, it's about one man's quest to find his own connection with the divine within and all around. Good story, distracting narration The tone of the narration remains throughout that which would be used for a Halloween ghost story. If you can bear it and focus on Coehlo's story, then you'll have listened to a good book with an inspiring message. Hard-hitting and amazing What made the experience of listening to The Pilgrimage the most enjoyable? The narrator's voice was spot on for such a book. It really captured the confusion, desperation and "lost" of that Paulo was experiencing throughout the events, and it instantly starts with such emotion which flows through the entire book. Every time you stop to listen to it, bang, you're right back into the world where you know nothing and are questioning everything, purely because of the superb narration. What other book might you compare The Pilgrimage to and why? It's like the Alchemist, but head on full on hard hitting lessons - lessons that make you cringe at times, but worth it. Which scene was your favorite? All of it. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It definitely made me uneasy at times... and laugh a few times. Inspirational Thought provoking and enlightening. I would recommend this book for those who are open minded

Through uplifting stories, parables, and personal anecdotes, the Zanders invite us to become passionate communicators, leaders, and performers whose lives radiate possibility into the world. Members Reviews: Transformative! What did you love best about The Art of Possibility? This book opened my thoughts, feelings, and made me feel like I could reinvent my life for the better. Mostly, the book stirred my joy and excitement! What was one of the most memorable moments of The Art of Possibility? There are so many memorable moments in this book. There is so much to learn and take in, I am still processing what I have learned and trying to apply it to my life. But, I think the most memorable practices in their teachings are "It's all invented" and "Giving an A" because these were the first and easiest for me to put into practice, and have made a positive impact. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, I wanted to savor it over a few days. And I am reading it again. Any additional comments? This book is beautifully produced and read by the authors. Each practice is underscored by classical music, great storytelling, and believable, authentic narrations by both authors. Excellent Book I originally purchased this book for professional purposes, but I got so much from it to serve me in many aspects of my life Stand Out Magnificent! Would you consider the audio edition of The Art of Possibility to be better than the print version? Yes. Both authors bring their own story and personalities to life as well as the music in this audiobook, tells so much of the story and makes it real. I couldn't imagine how it could be so engaging in print. If you have it in print, catch the wow factor with the audio! What does Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Their personalities, their inflections and tonality brings the examples to present time and real life. They became my companions and advisors through out the book. What insight do you think youll apply from The Art of Possibility? The Practices are brilliant. I did take some notes on my iPhone as I listened.

Title: Going to Pieces without Falling Apart Subtitle: A Buddhist Perspective on Wholeness Author: Mark Epstein MD Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 197 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart shows us that happiness doesn't come from any kind of acquisitiveness, be it material or psychological. Happiness comes from letting go. Weaving together the accumulated wisdom of his two worlds - Buddhism and Western psychotherapy - Mark Epstein shows how "the happiness that we seek depends on our ability to balance the ego's need to do with our inherent capacity to be." He encourages us to relax the ever-vigilant mind in order to experience the freedom that comes only from relinquishing control. Drawing on events in Epstein's own life and stories from his patients, Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart teaches us that only by letting go can we start on the path to a more peaceful and spiritually satisfying life. Critic Reviews: "An insightful blending of two disciplines, one analytical, one spiritual." (Booklist) Members Reviews: beautiful and insightful Would you listen to Going to Pieces without Falling Apart again? Why? I am definitely going to listen to this book multiple times because it was full of insights about the way our minds work, and was written and read in a beautiful way, full of anecdotes and stories to illustrate his points, which for me is a super helpful way of teaching. What does Patrick Lawlor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He's a very enjoyable reader and I loved his voice as the narrator of this book - it just felt right. Any additional comments? I am reading all of Mark Epstein's books that I can get my hands on and so far this is my absolute favorite. It is inspiring, beautifully written, with exquisite insights into the human psyche. It made me very interested in the Buddhism/meditation/psychology similarities and relationships. It was super positive, soothing but engaging and full of exciting new ideas...basically one of the best books I've ever read. amazing amazing read, amazing author, all together a truly wonderful experience. I can read this multiple times and always learn something new. Good Feel it somehow lacks room for breathing and thinking.. But maybe I should just learn to pause more and take more thinking breaks Tiresome to listen to Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Glad I made it to the end How did the narrator detract from the book? voice did not keep my attention Was Going to Pieces without Falling Apart worth the listening time? There were several key points I pulled from it. I will go back and listen to certain sections again. Any additional comments? Buy the book and skip the audible. More than 10% happier Author combines modern psychology with case studies and Bhudism for a multi faceted read. 5 stars

Dyer Format: Abridged Length: 1 hr and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 742 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: This best-selling guide sends a simple but profound message: Avoid the trap of negative thinking, and master the art of self-actualization. Self-actualization is the ability to cut through the psychological limitations you place on yourself, break free of the past, and eliminate guilt in order to become who and what you really can be. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has achieved greatness both in his field and in his personal life, and now he shares his methods for achieving everything he ever wanted. After listening to this invaluable guide, you, too, can live triumphantly, finally overcoming the negativity and limitations that inhibit your potential. Critic Reviews: "Some may think Your Erroneous Zones is better than sex - at least longer lasting." (The Atlanta Journal) Members Reviews: Not the book at all. More like a self interview. If you could sum up Your Erroneous Zones in three words, what would they be? NOT THE BOOK What did you like best about this story? I like listening to Wayne talk. He's got a charismatic way about him, a pleasant voice, and overall I enjoyed listening to this. However, if you want the book erroneous zones, this is not it, you should go back to Amazon and get the kindle or actual printed book. This is more like Wayne musing on the topic of the book, and that I found helpful and entertaining. It helps to put a personality with the book, and it does help to flesh out a few of the ideas in the book, but it's certainly no substitute. What does Dr. Wayne W. Dyer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Dr. Dyer's lecturing is very engaging, so that made this enjoyable to listen to. Any additional comments? This should be called Disappointing This is a 90-minute, off-the-cuff summary of the book by the author. Very disappointing. Disapointed This reading is not the book, but a summary of it. I was believing it to be the actual book when I purchased it. If you are into summaries it is well done, if your into the book itself, not so much. Wayne summarizes the book Would you consider the audio edition of Your Erroneous Zones to be better than the print version? I had read and reread the book years ago. I also listened to this back when initially released. I am not sure if someone who wasn't already familiar with it would get as much out of it. I liked his condensing of some of the chapters of the book...it is very effective and much easier to remember and apply. What was one of the most memorable moments of Your Erroneous Zones? Guilt and worry What about Dr. Wayne W. Dyers performance did you like? He is always easy to listen to--warm and humorous style Knowledge & encouragement in a short strong book. As always encouraging and a strong message, evey powerful words. Thanks RIP Dr. Dyer

They were utterly electrified. Word of it spread like wildfire, and everyone who heard it was positively ignited into action. Requests for a recording of the message came pouring in - thousands of requests per week. Within no time, more than 200,000 people had called, written, or just walked right into Earl's office to request a copy. As years went by, that number soared above 1,000,000. Today, more than 40 years later, The Strangest Secret remains one of the most powerful and influential messages ever recorded. It continues to transform the lives of everyone who hears and heeds it. Members Reviews: Classic Recording for Motivation and Success The first 30 minutes are superb. There is a short middle section about the company that created the recording and then the third part is an interview that is excellent as well. The third part is very different than the first part but you can really hear a lot of wisdom in that excellent interview. For the cost and the time commitment for this short recording, the investment returns should be exponential if you are a person who truly is willing to take action to achieve your definition of success. Very necessary for anyone I am a business owner, just had a stroke 8 months ago. Have come to realize that I was just going thru the motions living a decent life. This second chance I got is a blessing. Just by listening to this already have a road map to a greater life for everyone in our company and families. Very interesting approach to live What did you love best about The Strangest Secret and This I Believe? People were listening to audiobooks before cassette tape What other book might you compare The Strangest Secret and This I Believe to and why? Harv 's millionaire mind What about Earl Nightingale and Vic Conant s performance did you like? Great performance Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I had to because I could not stop beside it was very short compare to my other audiobooks Any additional comments? I recommend this book to anybody Absolutely awesome! I loved it, I believe it will have a great impact in both my personal and business life. Very inspiring. But this NOW! In my opinion, this is still one of the best. My advice would be to listen carefully and listen often.

Steve Sims' day job is to make the impossible possible. With his help and expertise, his clients' fantasies and wildest dreams come true. Getting married by the Pope in the Vatican, being serenaded by Elton John, and connecting with powerful business moguls like Elon Musk are just a few of the many projects he has worked on.

Members Reviews: Well worth the listen! Steve is one of my favorite people to study because his resource isnt money, but resourcefulness. Which is freely available to all of us. He has managed all he has done in life because he is focused on his clients and the people in his life. To me this strips away any excuse I have of not having the money or knowledge to do something and that is very inspiring. This book is a rear view mirror look at the principles and tactics that lead to Steves resourcefulness. Tony Robbins says resourcefulness is the ultimate human resource and Steves life lives that principle out over and over. Great listen. I dont like some of the crass language he uses but I do appreciate his authenticity and his good nature comes through despite the occasional loving use of four letter words. Worth the time! Amazing read! STEVE, makes stuff happen any where in the world, only with cool people who have a passion. After all her life without passion is not how life without living. Gave me tons of things to think about and apply to my life and my businesses. Thank you Steve. Or should I say blue fisherman Secret sauce. Steve sims has done a lot, met many people, and figured out how to get magic things done. He spells out exactly how he does what he does in a very easy to implement way. Anyone could benefit from this book. Lots of wisdom from experience. An inspiring book! I've long known about Steve Sims but only took an interest in him when he appeared on a Q&A live session with a social media agency. He's real, genuine, motivating, and inspiring.

Dyer Narrator: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer Format: Original Recording Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-04 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1705 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: In this live lecture, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explores intention as an all-pervading force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. Intention, he explains, is not something you do, but an energy you're a part of. Not only do you emanate from the field of intention, but if you align yourself to it, your desires become fulfilled and you find yourself at peace. Healing, manifesting your desires, and creating miracles are genuine possibilities, and indeed, probabilities, when you listen to Dr. Dyer and connect to the power of intention. Members Reviews: I love it! I have found that my way of thinking is a lot more positive since listening to this. I do the housework, go shopping, drive etc. while listening and I actually feel my life changing - I am automatically feeling more grateful for my life. I love it!! Share it! This is a book that you want to share with those you care about. I have listened to over two dozen audio books and this is one of the best in terms of impact on my daily life. Easy listening, great insights. Fantastic! I purchased both ?The Power of Intention? and this audio program. I liked this one better. In this live lecture Dr. Dyer covers the same material found in the book, but does it in a much more engaging and motivating fashion. The regular audio book is scripted and I find myself drifting my attention. I would read the actual book and listen to this audio book. The program is most definitely worth an audible credit! Inspiring Dr. Dyer is an excellent motivator and that's what I find so attractive about this lecture. There is so much good to be found inside. He talks of kindness, of attracting good people into your life, prayer, meditation/pondering, returning love for hateful actions. There's a couple dozen things that I just love about this book that I can't explain all in one paragraph. I do believe it to be an inspired work. Must hear! If you could sum up The Secrets of the Power of Intention in three words, what would they be? change your thinking What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secrets of the Power of Intention? the simplicity in which Dr Dyer explains how the faces of intention determine how we live our lives, if you intend to get pain, suffering, little money, you are right, you will get that. If you intend on feeling good, access abundance, (expecting it to be there, not looking for it), you will live a life free of burdensome thinking. endless searching for the moment you cannot find, it is now. you already have it! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes because I read the Power of Intention and this is just a hearing of the different way he brings it across, it is 7 hours so not in one sitting but I get his point in the first sitting. Any additional comments? This is a must read, I first read Excuses Begone, this is my first recommendation of his teachings. I was in Deep Depression and had struggled with it for most of my life. This time it was so bad, I only got out of bed to work part time from home, eat, essentials. I started reading Excuses begone and realized I was holding on to old negative thinking patterns that basically got me to this point. Once I let go of them, they were GONE! I felt instant peace and never go back to the pain of the past anymore. If you are struggling with yourself, constant thinking, worrying.

Learned Optimism Audiobook by Martin E. P. Seligman

Title: Learned Optimism Subtitle: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life Author: Martin E. P. Seligman Narrator: Martin E. P. Seligman Format: Abridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-01 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 561 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: You can acquire optimism and significantly improve your life! Are you an optimist or a pessimist? How often do you take on exciting new projects or celebrate your successes? Now psychologist Martin E.P. Seligman, one of the world's experts on motivation, shows you how to chart a new approach to living with "flexible optimism." Dr. Seligman's principles of reasoned, flexible optimism will help you rise above pessimism and the depression that accompanies negative thoughts. Learned Optimism shows you how to: Members Reviews: I ve found the test online I have been optimistic and thought the test should be somewhere online :) I ve found it here: www.stanford.edu/class/msande271/onlinetools/LearnedOpt.html Outdated audiobook..... try Covey instead! I am a big fan of Martin Seligman and the field of Positive Psychology. Having read the excellent "Authentic Happiness" by Seligman, I decided to give "Learned Optimism" a try on audiobook. Not very happy with what was offered here. This is a 1991 release, all of the material is also covered in "Authentic Happiness". Also, when you are listening to audiobooks in the car like I do, scoring the optimism test while driving is not going to work! As an advice to prospective listeners: you are much better off downloading Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits" or a more recent Seligman release. What you should know. What disappointed you about Learned Optimism? I had not looked at how long the recording was before I downloaded it. I was under the impression that the whole book would be read. Really, it is an addition to the book that is from the author explaining how to determine if you were an optimist or a pessimist. This would not be a suitable download if you are wanting the whole book read to you. What about Martin E. P. Seligmans performance did you like? Easy pace. Easy to understand and follow. Any additional comments? I would have really liked to have the whole book read to me. Good Advice Clearly Stated The author narrates this audio in a comfortable and gentle style. Dr. Seligman has condensed the insight of many years of study and experience into a short presentation. He stays on topic and does not resort to jargon or obscure scientific theorizing. If you will use the test (available free using the link on this page) and listen with an open heart and mind to his message, Dr. Seligman can help you develop a more hope filled optimistic lifestyle. Without booklet, not worth it This book was probably pretty good with the self-diagnostic survey, but without it, the first 30 minutes--of a 1.5 hour tape--are not so meaningful. I'm not even sure I should bother to listen to the rest. It was a waste of my book credit.

Title: Breathing Under Water Subtitle: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps Author: Richard Rohr Narrator: John Quigley O.F.M. Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 11-09-11 Publisher: St. Anthony Messenger Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 376 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: We are all addicted in some way. When we learn to identify our addiction, embrace our brokenness, and surrender to God, we begin to bring healing to ourselves and our world. In Breathing Under Water, Franciscan Father Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve Steps can free anyone from any addiction from an obvious dependence on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction that we all have to sin. Members Reviews: Great content! Because I have heard Richard Rohr read his own books, I didn't care for the narrator. I don't think it is because the narrator wasn't good, I just happen to enjoy listening to Richard read his own stuff. But the book provides insights for those seeking to reconcile the scriptures with the wisdom of the 12 steps! Richard Rohr is especially gifted as a writer and as a spiritual guide. Will listen to again and again. If you could sum up Breathing Under Water in three words, what would they be? Fearless unapologetic raw Who was your favorite character and why? God. What three words best describe John Quigleys voice? enunciates too carefully What did you learn from Breathing Under Water that you would use in your daily life? Humility. So much in a relatively short book. I will definitely view step 10 the way he did that rather than being a repeat of the fearless inventory (sometimes referred to as ruthless inventory) in step 4, it is more of a continual observation of my actions and thoughts and experiences calmly, objectively and compassionately. The author's discussion of consciousness leading up to this is so interesting. Any additional comments? I will read more of Richard Rohr's work. Great Spirituality for 12 steppers & others also! Would you listen to Breathing Under Water again? Why? Great wisdom What was one of the most memorable moments of Breathing Under Water? na Which character as performed by John Quigley was your favorite? na What insight do you think youll apply from Breathing Under Water? Seeing 12 steps in a whole new light tying the spiritual principles to the teachings of Jesus. Worst narrator ever....human? Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Great book content made COMPLETELY impossible to listen to due to narrator who obeyed no conventions of cadence or phrasing.... Do not buy the audible version. Get the actual book and save yourself the frustration. Contemporary contemplative goldmine Right breathes life into the 12 Steps for contemporary contemplatives. Whether you're in recovery or not, If you're following a contemplative path, this is an essential companion guide.

The Five Invitations Audiobook by Frank Ostaseski

Title: The Five Invitations Subtitle: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully Author: Frank Ostaseski Narrator: Frank Ostaseski Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 03-14-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight, helping us to discover what matters most. Life and death are a package deal. They cannot be pulled apart, and we cannot truly live unless we are aware of death. The Five Invitations is an exhilarating meditation on the meaning of life and how maintaining an ever-present consciousness of death can bring us closer to our truest selves. As a renowned teacher of compassionate caregiving and the cofounder of the Zen Hospice Project, Frank Ostaseski has sat on the precipice of death with more than a thousand people. In The Five Invitations, he distills the lessons gleaned over the course of his career, offering an evocative and stirring guide that points to a radical path to transformation. The Five Invitations: Members Reviews: Another great book Another great story teller. I will be revisiting this one again at least once. We could all be so fortunate to have someone around like Frank when our time comes. Great insights on how to be with someone who is dying or has passed. Thank you Frank for your knowing experience and your wise, honest not knowing. Powerful for those facing losing a loved one! I read an average of a book a week. Only a handful of books do I know that I will re-read and study. This book is one of those books. I first listened on Audible, which I highly recommend. The author reads the book and his voice was soothing and brought the stories to life because I could hear his tone and his inflections of voice. I then bought a copy of the book so I could mark it up and study it in more depth in the coming months. I highly recommend this book especially if you are facing the death of someone you love. Dealing with Death This book is profound and I recommend it highly. It is not a spiritual book. It shows us death and how to truly live. Life changing This book was a priceless, invaluable gift to me in the months following the death of my 45 year old sister from breast cancer. Being broken open, I was ready to take in Ostaseski's words and teachings. Every human should read this enlightening book. I switched from the hard cope to the audiobook halfway thorough, and I'm so glad I did. Beautiful. Life Lessons from Death Lessons I heard the author on Sam Harris podcast Waking Up, and decided to buy this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and Franks voice is very easy to listen to. One doesnt have to be a Buddhist to get something from this book. In fact, not every one who went to the Zen Hospice Center was a Buddhist. One just has to want to learn how to be more open-minded and open-hearted. Sometimes death can teach you a lot about life.

Through 40 accessible lessons and inspirational anecdotes from prominent athletes - many of whom he has worked with - you will learn the same techniques and exercises Mack uses to help elite athletes build mental "muscle." Mind Gym will give you the "head edge" over the competition. Members Reviews: awesome read a perfect read for an athlete in any sport! Personal I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Inspiring and at the same time dated Would you consider the audio edition of Mind Gym to be better than the print version? I actually feel that I could have learned more if I had read the book. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The conclusion did well to tie everything together. It took awhile to get to that place - it would seem he saved the best for last. Which character as performed by Kevin Young was your favorite? There were far to many to choose one. Suffice it to say they supported well his thesis throughout the book. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. It takes time and it would be too deep to listen in one sitting. Any additional comments? This is a good book. Others who I would recommend would be Nerve by Taylor Clark and The Art of Mental Training by D.C. Gonzalez. Similar books and more to the specifics on how to better exercise and train you thoughts for daily tasks. Helpful My volleyball team read this book together it helped us gain confidence and find great new ways to stay positive. This book is not just for athletes This book is good for any goal setting individual. Nice stories and tips. Pleasant voice. Flattered Great book for athletes and people looking for inspiration. You will love it too much

Happiness in This Life Audiobook by Pope Francis, Oonagh Stransky - translator

Title: Happiness in This Life Subtitle: A Passionate Meditation on Earthly Existence Author: Pope Francis, Oonagh Stransky - translator Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A collection of homilies, speeches, and "messages of the day" that brings together Pope Francis' wisdom on finding happiness in the here and now For Pope Francis, appreciating our everyday lives is a spiritual undertaking. Joy is a divine attribute, and creating joy around us is part of faith. Every homily and speech in this book delivers a key lesson in warm, engaging language - accessible to believers and nonbelievers alike - and instructs listeners on finding love and happiness in the chaotic and frustrating real world. Along the way, Pope Francis discusses the importance of women's rights, talks about how the love of sports can create a sense of community, and explains why we must fight against discrimination. He weaves in personal stories and anecdotes from his own life, including observations on his parents and why flawed families make you a better person. The core ideas of his papacy - mercy, support for marginalized people, and diplomacy - shine through. Members Reviews: Five Stars This is exactly what I expected - perfect! Five Stars My friend was thrilled to receive the book. I ORDERED IT OFF AMAZON AT A GREAT PRICE. ENJOY THE BOOK SEEN THIS BOOK AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE. I ORDERED IT OFF AMAZON AT A GREAT PRICE. ENJOY THE BOOK. Words from the âPeopleâs Popeâ I am no longer Catholic, but I was raised as such. While I do not agree with all of the beliefs of the Catholic church, I have the utmost respect for Pope Francis and many of his views. I like how down-to-earth he is (like washing the feet of inmates and refusing to live in the fancy papal apartments). I especially appreciated his âWho I am to judge?â comment and how he stresses love and acceptance (over judging and hypocrisy). So when this book, "Happiness in This Life: A Passionate Meditation on Earthly Existenceâ, appeared in my Amazon Vine selection, I was interested in reading it. Per the translator, Oonagh Stransky, this book is a collection of âexcerpts from homilies, speeches, meetings, addresses, and exhortations delivered by Pope Francis since 2013.â These words explain how to find happiness in THIS life and are broken down into five sections: * Introduction: The Path of Happiness * Your Search for a Meaningful Life * You and Others: Happiness in Your Relationships * A Hundredfold Reward â Plus Suffering * They Who Pray Live Serenely Great collection, culminating in a selection of prayers (some written by the Pope himself), which many people are sure to find inspirational. This book emphaizes being happy This easy to read collection of parts of sermons, speeches, meetings, addresses, and exhortations by Pope Francis since 2013 do, of course, emphasize the importance of adoring and serving Jesus and his mother Mary and being a good Catholic. The book contains very conservative notions such as his warning to women who assume âroles that have been copied from the male domain and that ignore the precious feminine traits that characterize womanhood.â It includes religious ideas such as âThey who pray live serenely.â And âThe real Christian prayer says: Father.â But it also has many remarks that could be helpful to non-Catholics, even atheists, because the book speaks about living a happy life and how to do it.

Now three of her most popular teachings are available in one audiobook set. The Pema Chodron Collection includes: ©2004 Pema Chodron; (P)2004 Sounds True Critic Reviews: "Chodron demonstrates how effective the Buddhist point of view can be in bringing order into disordered lives." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Ancient insights for a Modern Audience Im not a Buddhist, and Ive never really meditated. A few years back, however, a good friend gave me a book by Pema Chodron called, When Things Fall Apart. I loved it and found much of what the author had to say both interesting and helpful. When I found more of her work on Audible, I dove in, thinking it would be something different and something perfect for audio. I was right. Ive gone back and listened more than once and each time I learn something a little different. An American born Buddhist nun, Pema is uniquely attuned to a Western audience. She brings an authentic Buddhist perspective tailored to people like me. These are speeches, or talks that the Author gave during a retreat. They were recorded live, so the quality is not as good as with a professional recorded and produced audiobook. There was no chance for the author to stop and start over, so its not perfect. Still, her voice itself and the skill she has in explaining these spiritual concepts are excellent. Ive tried to listen to other meditation programs, thinking it would be an interesting audio experience, but this is the first Ive been able to get all the way through. There is no hocus-pocus or uncomfortable chanting. Pema Chodron sounds like a normal woman, with great insight into these ancient ideas as reflected in todays world. Its a pleasure to listen to her. Great This is very long, but there is very little repetition of ideas. Her insights are amazing and so helpful. This audio has so much info that I will need to listen at least one more time. This is a recording of a retreat session, so there is a bit of an issue of recording quality, but it does not take away one bit from the quality of ideas being presented. Delightful! Bringing the concepts of Buddhism into the modern age with humor, wisdom, and compassion. A terrific read. A Pleasant Listen with a Warm Personality The Pema Chodron Audio Collection made for great listening to take the edge off the most hectic days. As the title implies, this collection is three lectures in one, all recorded live. Lecture 1--Pure Meditation--discusses the fundamentals of meditation, becoming aware of our always-thinking mind, and coming to accept ourselves at face value. As Pema discusses, meditation serves five reasons: steadfastness with oneself, clear seeing, allowing the experience of emotional distress, and attention to the here and now. Lecture 2--Good Medicine--focuses on maitri: unwavering self-acceptance. GM teaches how happiness lies not in the "seven dharmas" (pleasure/pain, praise/blame, etc.), and discusses the need to positively train your mind "like a dog," to constantly "stay" with you through good times and bad, and not have any self-aggression.

Title: Thank & Grow Rich Subtitle: A 30-Day Experiment in Shameless Gratitude and Unabashed Joy Author: Pam Grout Narrator: Pam Grout Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-16 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 486 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Important disclaimer: This book is not for everyone - just those who want to have more fun, more adventures, and more magic in their life. Thank & Grow Rich is for anyone interested in hooking up with the magnanimous energy field of the cosmos. Author Pam Grout, who likes to call herself the Warren Buffet of Happiness, says it all starts with getting on the frequency of joy and gratitude. Thanking (rather than thinking) puts us on an energetic frequency - a vibration - that calls in miracles. Science has proven that when we observe the world from a place of gratitude, when we use our attention to spot beauty and gaze at wonder, we develop the capacity to radically rev up our day-to-day experience. Brazen gratitude, it seems, provides a portal - an entry point - straight into the heart of the field of infinite possibilities described in Grout's best-seller E-Squared. This book also offers an updated perspective on abundance, which goes way beyond financial capital. It shows listeners how to grow and expand their creative capital, their social capital, their spiritual capital, and much, much more! Your credit union might offer a butter dish or a koozie, but an investment in this book comes with your own personal sign from the universe, an answer to an important question, a customized totem, and a one-of-a-kind gift from the natural world. But more importantly, this 30-day experiment will upgrade your life experience from ho-hum to wahoo! From life sucks to life rocks! From woe is me to yippie-ti-yi-yay! Members Reviews: IT IS OKAY!!! Oh man I love this woman!! I have read THOUSANDS of personal development books, have a very successful business and am living life to the fullest. I believe that when you hear or see the signs of life you JUMP and listening to this book was just that sign. WONDERFUL READ!! THANK YOU!! Amanda Smith So Easy to Get Everything Pam Grout is a joy to listen to! I've been putting her Thank and Grow Rich fun Party Games to play and manifesting the heck out of my life! She is a delight and makes co-creating the most magical fun ever! This should be required for everyone! I will be listening over and over again because I completely enjoy the truth she speaks and the fun it brings to my life! Thank Pam Grout, you simply Rock! Simple As That! Just reading the first couple of chapters I was filled with gratitude! You feel so much better and think to yourself, "Man it's just that simple. I love everything and everyone! " Stop that, Start this now! Pam Grout is so down to Earth. This book will make you think twice about moping around. She makes it a point to show you that there is no reason to wait a minute when you can just get on with it now. I would recommend this book to anyone that thinks they're not good enough, don't have enough, or don't have a reason to feel like the luckiest person in the universe. She will have you fist pumping throughout the entire audiobook and will motivate you to get on with it already. I enjoyed this book so much to the point where I'm on my 14th round of listening. I learn something new every single time.

Yet it is the least understood, the most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time. That one thing is Trust. Like the ripple in the pond the "Speed of Trust" begins within each of us personally, continues in to our relationships, expands into our organizations and ultimately encompasses our global society. In this live program, Covey teaches the 13 Behaviors common to high-trust leaders throughout the world and demonstrates actionable insights that will enable you to shift your behavior to increase trust in all your relationships. Members Reviews: An overview It's good, but it is a recording of a seminar. I would be up for the entire book on audio. It just a Ted talk, but much longer I thought the book would be read. Instead it was just his speaking engagements put together. I thought it was pretty expensive for what was delivered. Reasonable Got it. Much is repeated. I would suggest the action plan info is valuable if somewhat common sense. I did not like the chat on Audible version over the last hour or so. That was less punchy. Good, quick overview The Speed of Trust This is a really good Live seminar and discussion between the Covey's. I can't wait for the full audiobook of The Speed of Trust. The breathy voice The man's voice makes this almost impossible to listen to.. It was a little salesy, but good area to investigate - trust.

The Power of Habit Audiobook by Charles Duhigg

Title: The Power of Habit Subtitle: Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change Author: Charles Duhigg Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-12 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 403 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distil vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives. Critic Reviews: "Its a fascinating insight into making and breaking habits and offers practical advice, funny stories and critical thinking." (Press Association) Members Reviews: Only stories, no evidence This book is from beginning to the end an example for all kind of cognitive fallacies and biases. Don't get me wrong: I believe that most of the author's hypotheses are true. But, the author does a very poor job of showing convincing evidence for his hypotheses. You encounter instead hindsight bias, availability bias, non-sequiturs and anecdotal evidence. For example, the author gives several examples of success stories, like "CEO "x" was very successful. CEO "x" used to do "y". Therefore, doing "y" is the reason why CEO "x" was successful. " What about all the other CEOs who did "y" but weren't successful? What else did CEO "x" do? Maybe one of THOSE things also contributed to the success as well? I found myself repeatedly saying: "You cannot conclude that from what you just told me!" Only few examples are given, where a scientific approach and unbiased logic were used. I also think, that some anecdotes lighten up the flow of a non-fiction-book. But an entire book full of anecdotes? Furthermore, most of the stories are soooo tedious. E.g.

I Hope I Screw This Up Audiobook by Kyle Cease

Title: I Hope I Screw This Up Subtitle: How Falling in Love with Your Fears Can Change the World Author: Kyle Cease Narrator: Kyle Cease Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 104 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly best seller! If Eckhart Tolle and Jim Carrey had a baby, that baby would be Kyle Cease. After 25 years of achieving what he thought were his dreams of being a headlining touring comedian and actor, Kyle Cease suddenly discovered that the belief that "when something happens, I will be happy" is a complete lie. With nothing more than an intuition, he decided to quit his stand-up career at its peak, and now - as a transformational comedian - he brings his one-of-a-kind self-help wisdom to sold-out audiences in his Evolving Out Loud Live stage show. In I Hope I Screw This Up, he disarms listeners as he leads them to their own personal breakthroughs, helping them to recognize that actual happiness and fulfillment is available to them - not in some distant future, but right now. As he has shown audiences all over the world, when you embrace your pain, fear, and vulnerability instead of pushing it away, you will discover an authentic creativity and power that is truly unstoppable. Using self-deprecating personal stories and hilarious observations on life, Kyle unravels the deepest issues standing between us and emotional freedom. From discovering the never-ending opportunities that come from playing - and going with whatever comes up in the moment - to learning to let go of what feels heavy in our lives, this book is a journey into the endless possibility that can appear if we just dare to let go of our fear of screwing up. This is not motivation. This is not inspiration. This is true transformation. Members Reviews: Don't drink and listen or spit-takes will result I'm listening to the foreword and love it already!!! I have read the hard copy of the book, and know it's awesome, but I have a feeling there are many delightful surprises tucked away in the audio version. Kyle is so damn funny and super insightful! I'll update this when I'm done, if that's possible, but get this book! Get it now! Was not expecting this! I was not expecting this! The title caught my attention but within the first 5 minutes I was already a fan. I hope Kyle puts out more books as I would read them all. Made so many bookmarks that I'll have to go back and really dive in. Wanders, Hits A Truth, Then Wanders Again I generally think comedians have genuine and hyper-intelligent observations that the rest of us can only appreciate, not demonstrate on our own. And such it is with Kyle Cease's I Hope I Screw This Up. But that's the bad part, the part that keeps this from becoming a super tool for self-awareness and personal growth. There's plenty of good here but, just as Cease comes upon a truth, wham! He's off to the races on some humorous meanderings that keep you from being able to ingest what he has to offer. And there are plenty of poignant bits in this book that make that such a pity. He keeps saying things like: Back to the point, and: What I started out saying. How disappointing; how diverting. I'd keep coming up on genuine connections then I'd be distracted by yes, quite chuckle-inducing bits. But I'm a Self-Development person and focus is key for true enlightenment. The guy can't help it that he's funny.

Would you use it? Move beyond only study and begin to wield the Word of God! "If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!" - Jesus If there ever was a time for women to be armed, it's now. Yet the Word of God is a sword we often are more comfortable studying than wielding. It's time we give girls swords and watch them connect heaven to earth. Worldwide, women are the targets of prejudice, sex trafficking, abuse, and even gendercide. Lisa Bevere writes that these attacks say more about who women might be in the future than who they have been in the past. In Girls with Swords, she explains a spiritual enemy is seeking to disarm women on every level. It's time women become the heroes God created them to be and stand - courageous, discerning, forgiving, and wise. Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you: Its time to take up your sword and be a hero. Members Reviews: We can be the heroes in our day what the Heroes of faith were in their day. I highly recommend this book. It's about boldly carrying the cross for Christ. Knowing that you are a target for the enemy because you are destined for great things. Learning how to fight with your sword, and use it effectively against the enemies plans to throw you off course. It will empower you, prepare you, and wake the warrior that is in you already. As you read it, a seed of transformation will begin to grow. You will become the mighty warrior you were destined to be. I feel empowered. I didn't read anything particular that I didn't already know as a long time Christian, but still found the book to be life changing. I have a lot more confidence and feel better equipped to be a prayer warrior. loved it.. Good message need to listen to it twice to soak it in and apply it Life changing! I love that Lisa reads the book herself! Just bought it for my daughter and all my dearest friends. Learn how to use your sword against the enemy This was good. I liked the empowerment it gives to ladies as they stand against the enemy. Read this book.

Title: The Five Levels of Attachment Subtitle: Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World Author: don Miguel Ruiz Jr. Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 03-01-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 699 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Building on the principles found in his fathers best-selling book The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz, Jr., invites us to gauge how attached we are to our own point of view. In The Five Levels of Attachment, he will help you gain awareness of the agreements you have been implicitly making all these years that shape your reality and affect your future and show you how to release the attachments which no longer reflect who you really are. This method is 20 years in the making. When don Miguel Ruiz, Jr., began his apprenticeship into his familys Toltec tradition, he was just 14 years old. His first task was translating his grandmothers talks from Spanish into English. One day, as he struggled to keep up with her, she asked him: Are you using knowledge, or is knowledge using you?Finding the answer to this question would shape the destiny of his life. In this groundbreaking work, Ruiz explains each of the Five Levels of Attachment in detail and shows that as our level of attachment to a belief or idea increases, "who we are" becomes directly linked to "what we know". Our attachment to beliefs - our own and the beliefs of others - manifests as a mask we dont realize we can take off. But with don Miguel Ruizs help, and some Toltec wisdom along the way, we can return to our True, Authentic Selves, unhindered by judgment and free to pursue our true lifes calling. Members Reviews: don Miguel Jr. Message is authentic and powerful! If you could sum up The Five Levels of Attachment in three words, what would they be? Weather or not you've read his father's book "The Four Agreements", this book or audio book is one you'll treasure and read or listen to several times. I personally find it a great addition to the Four Agreements, and find that Miguel Jr. delivers a message that is not only informative, but simple to understand. Could help change the world as we know it. Don Ruiz Jr. has a writing style every bit as wonderful as his fathers. I believe that if this book was required reading for every human being, it could profoundly alter life on planet earth for the better, by curing the disease of intolerance that is running amuck in most societies today. His solution for finding the love and acceptance we crave within ourselves by examining whether we are controlled by knowledge or are using it as a tool to help us in life seems like the perfect way to begin our journey of self discovery. The information you will read here is profound. It has given me a way of seeing myself and the world that I have been seeking for a very long time. I can now see how everything is Perfect just as it is Now. One of my favorite books in my collection What a refreshing book. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, the Toltec wisdom is fascinating, beautiful, and certainly touched my heart. I will never forget this book. The levels of attachment make complete sense. Following indications in this book I strongly believe can enrich so many lives and make the world a better place. Loved it! Life changing on all levels. This book makes you stop in your tracks and become aware of what you are doing and why you are doing it. Outstanding! Miguel Jr is a great Toltec in his own right. Easy to follow and a great addition to the Four Agreements family. Bravo!

Will also make you smile and laugh. And, most importantly, if taken seriously, it can be transformative. You'll be recommending it to your family and friends who you care about." (Marc Wais, senior vice president for student affairs, New York University) Members Reviews: The best book to really get over your BS Wow!!! I have never hear anything remotely close to this. This book calls you out on aaaaall your crap, but you can totally see the author can achieve this, because she calls herself out on the regular and has done a loooot of work on herself. Whoever does the work on this book will see their life transformed without a doubt. But not everyone is ready for this book. Disappointing I have listened to over 200 audible books a thud is by far the most confusing. The author goes from preaching, to spilling the beans on her friends personal lives to trying to create a false charm. I wish the author would just sit and listen to it herself and she could see how she is jumping all over the place, lacking direction and focus, and just confusing. I will give her credit for the catchy title, its what got my attention, but it needs to have substance. Great Book This is one I will listen to at different times. Some things are working now and others I will apply later in my life when I am ready!! Game changer! Best self-help book I've read in my adult life! The process is something EVERYONE should go through. A MUST read This book should be on everyone's list to listen to, read and apply. If we were all honest with ourselves and each other what a world this would be! I am sharing this with everyone important to me and my accountability buddies are the people I love most. Thanks to the author for the wonderful contribution to the self help world and for her own courage.

The Creative Habit Audiobook by Twyla Tharp

Title: The Creative Habit Subtitle: Learn It and Use It for Life Author: Twyla Tharp Narrator: Lauren Fortgang Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 395 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: All it takes to make creativity a part of your life is the willingness to make it a habit. It is the product of preparation and effort, and is within reach of everyone. Whether you are a painter, musician, businessperson, or simply an individual yearning to put your creativity to use, The Creative Habit provides you with 32 practical exercises based on the lessons Twyla Tharp has learned in her remarkable 35-year career. In "Where's Your Pencil?" Tharp reminds you to observe the world - and get it down on paper. In "Coins and Chaos", she gives you an easy way to restore order and peace. In "Do a Verb", she turns your mind and body into coworkers. In "Build a Bridge to the Next Day", she shows you how to clean the clutter from your mind overnight. Tharp leads you through the painful first steps of scratching for ideas, finding the spine of your work, and getting out of ruts and into productive grooves. The wide-open realm of possibilities can be energizing, and Twyla Tharp explains how to take a deep breath and begin.... Members Reviews: A much-needed shout-out to good habits Any additional comments? If you have any creative component to your work-life, you should listen to this book by Twyla Tharp. It's about facing the blank canvas of creativity and overcoming all of the distractions, fears, and roadblocks to getting creative work done. And a terrific narrator, too. Highly recommended! First try at "Self Help" wasn't helpful. What would have made The Creative Habit better? Actually more ideas, rituals, and suggestions to actually develop a creative habit. This just seems to be mostly about the authors grandeur in dancing and creating plays. There is some useful information but for me it was only a handful of times and few and far between. I would have gotten more helpful ideas from a Lifehacker article. What do you think your next listen will be? Some thing historical or a biography. What about Lauren Fortgangs performance did you like? Her voice is very soothing and well spoken. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The performance was good and there were some helpful ideas. Does not deliver Author talks too much about herself and does not give information on creating the habit. It is not what I expected. I like when she talks about the geniuses but overall I think this 8 hour book could be done in 2 hours. It is OK It is just an average book. No SECRET to creativity or anything that you would not guess. It is about Preparing and clearing your mind so you get the Creativity flowing. It probably over promises. and the performance will easily put you to bed. One of the slowest reading I ever saw. Wordy, overacted, not easily applicable Would you try another book from Twyla Tharp and/or Lauren Fortgang? I would not purchase another book by Twyla because she focuses way too much on dance and doesn't convey it well to other aspects of the creative world. I would not purchase another book read by Lauren because she overacts and drawls on, making a read that should only be a few hours into an excruciating 6 or 7. Would you ever listen to anything by Twyla Tharp again? No Would you be willing to try another one of Lauren Fortgangs performances? No You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? There was nothing helpful or insightful for me.

The result is inspiring, practical, clearly written, and totally workable. Use it to unlock the treasure you have always dreamed of - the treasure that at last is within your reach. Members Reviews: Not Feeling the Connection This book has great info. I just felt that this book was written for non blacks to understand black people. I think it was too general and didn't touch on why we think the way we think and how to overcome that. And throwing in the few black people that became successful, although idyllic, doesn't really compare to the masses that have not and remain in a stupor. I feel almost no connection to a book that is marketed to people like me. I even felt slightly offended. I will continue to listen repeatedly but I don't think my opinion will change much. Excellent I've read as well as listened to the audiobook to the original Think and Grow Rich. Wasn't sure what to expect from this version but this audiobook give great examples of triumph over hardship than the original version. As we all can agree the African American experience here in America hasn't been an easy one. But, regardless of your race or ethnicity you can benefit from the knowledge gained from this audiobook! Great Book I love this book. It's a easy read along with the Narrator. Will share book Profound, Highly recommended! This book is not to be taken lightly. Has valuable & profound concepts that I intend to put into practice. Worth listening to over and over. Great resource for everyone to have in their library. Both Authors & narrator did an excellent job!! A must read for anyone needing fuel for change! I was captivated by each & every example! Will listen to this book multiple times

Title: The Happiness Track Subtitle: How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Success Author: Emma Seppala Narrator: Nan McNamara Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 209 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A leading expert on health psychology, well-being, and resilience argues that happiness is the key to fast tracking our professional and personal success. Everyone wants to be happy and successful. And yet the pursuit of both has never been more elusive. As work and personal demands rise, we try to keep up by juggling everything better, moving faster, and doing more. While we might succeed in the short term, it comes at a cost to our well-being, our relationships, and, paradoxically, our productivity. In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppala, the science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, explains that our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment is tied to common but outdated notions about success. We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that's thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents; and that achievement cannot happen without stress. The Happiness Track demolishes these counterproductive theories. Drawing on the latest findings from the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience - research on happiness, resilience, willpower, compassion, positive stress, creativity, and mindfulness - Seppala shows that finding happiness and fulfillment may, in fact, be the most productive thing we can do to thrive professionally. Filled with practical advice on how to apply these scientific findings to our daily lives, The Happiness Track is a life-changing guide to fast tracking our success and creating the anxiety-free lives we want. Members Reviews: Lots of Chicken soup Good overall but not for the seasoned veteran. More elementary with a broad range of coverage and not a great deal of depth in any one area. Narration felt a little pollyannish as well. Does the book contain references? I enjoyed it. It was light reading - listening, really. I was surprised when it ended at chapter 7. I thought I was, at best, halfway through. Meditation, counter-culture, and many likewise and interrelated topics that were highlighted and skimmed in this book have been a long interest of mine. So, this book felt like the Reader's Digest version of that. Not horrible, not bad, but I'm glad I got it as part of my audible trial. I don't feel it's worth $16. (I recall that being the price.) Maybe $5. I could see it being $16 in paperback, if the references to the frequently-stated "research shows" were included, since I would like to see that research and go in further depth. I can't with an audio book. Overall, it's very good light reading. It's almost like listening to a novel. But I'm, at the end, left feeling like I'm leaving the book mostly empty-handed. Don't get me wrong - the overall attitude and advise were invaluable, reminding me to not be so hard on myself, but application and science are not the strong suit of this book. not the audible version, at least. WARNING! Great overall book reviewing the broader strokes of positive psychology. EXCEPT the way the author presents chapter 5, she appears to not understand the difference between Clifton's strengths and Dweck's mindset.

Braving the Wilderness Audiobook by Brené Brown

Title: Braving the Wilderness Subtitle: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone Author: Brené Brown Narrator: Brené Brown Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-17 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Random House presents the audiobook edition of Braving the Wilderness, written and read by Brené Brown. 'True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.' Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping out a clear path to true belonging. Brown argues that what we're experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, 'True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in both being a part of something, and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that's rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it's easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others; it's a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It's a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.' Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. Brown writes, 'The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.' Members Reviews: Great audiobook with some downsides Braving the Wilderness is an engaging, passionate, and well structured book that took me by surprise. I didn't know anything about this book or the author when I grabbed this. What a great surprise. This a book about connecting in healthy meaningful ways and belonging without trying too hard or expecting others to let us feel that we belong, to belong without belonging anywhere and everywhere, to belong to ourselves more and foremost. According to Brown we all want to belong and connect, but doing so forgetting who we truly are, hiding who we are, faking who we are not, and not holding our ground or boundaries is not true belonging. True belonging it is not based on somebody's else accepting us as much as accepting ourselves and showing who we are, what we believe, and what we think even when we are surrounded by people or situations that are hostile to us and our survival instinct pushes us to conform, shut up or fake it up.

Mother Night Audiobook by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Title: Mother Night Subtitle: Myths, Stories and Teachings for Learning to See in the Dark Author: Clarissa Pinkola Estes Narrator: Clarissa Pinkola Estes Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 02-05-10 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 426 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Where is the memory of who we really are, who sent us here, and what our work is here? And why so often are we feeling unusual, so different, so eccentric, so belonging to a tribe of one? Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, published in 34 languages and one of the most far-reaching artist-psychoanalyists of our time, teaches that in archetypal imagination, "Mother Night is the quintessential medial woman, the woman who can walk in two worlds... 'the one who knows' and who can reveal solid ways of living and unleashing creative life in both worlds." Members Reviews: A wise and masterful story-teller does it again. Contrary to the opinions of the first reviewer, I found the narrator to be immediately engaging. Actually, Dr. Estes is not "narrating" this audiobook, but talking directly to you--and talking with considerable warmth, humor, intelligence and, most importantly, deep insight into the "medial" mind, the creative psyche, its trials and triumphs. With her story-telling, Estes takes you almost magically to a place within yourself, your intuitive self, where a kind of deep knowing becomes a luminous presence and creative ideas rise to the surface. Her voice, her insights, and her wonderful stories are as powerful, imaginative, and true as ever. The Voice Any additional comments? Other reviews complaining about the professionalism of the recording and narration concerned me, but I love Clarissa's work so much, I bought this anyway. When I heard the recording, I had to laugh at the irony. Yes, she breathes, and laughs, and sounds exactly like the very real woman she is. Her voice is lovely. Her work is about connecting with our authentic selves. Her work is about how the world of slick professionalism kills our creative soul. To those who have heard Clarissa before: don't worry. It is her usual lovely voice, her usual authentic self, her usual beautiful delivery. This book goes deeper. If you have read/heard her other work, you will want this. soothing surety loved it!I couldn't stop listening, Pincola-Estes' voice is soothing and sure. Her narration made me feel like I was with her and she was speaking directly to me. Awesome, Life changing! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I think we would all benefit by the philosophy of this book. What was one of the most memorable moments of Mother Night? The stories she tells remind me of my Grandmother and let me know that I am not alone. What about Clarissa Pinkola Estess performance did you like? I love the gentleness that shows in her voice. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me smile, cry and laugh and most of all it made me think. Coming home I cried I laughed I sighed This book is worth it and so nourishing Do it

Title: The Perfect You Subtitle: A Blueprint for Identity Author: Dr. Caroline Leaf Narrator: Margaret Winston Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: There are a lot of personality tests out there designed to label you and put you in a particular box. But Dr. Caroline Leaf says there's much more to you than a personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized! In this fascinating book, she takes listeners through seven steps to rediscover and unlock their unique "you quotient" - the brilliantly original way each person thinks, feels, relates, and makes choices - freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Listeners learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experience rather than trying to forcefully change it, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives. Knowing and understanding our identity empowers our choices. Unlocking one's you quotient is not optional - it is essential. Members Reviews: Hands down, the most helpful book I've listened to I've listed at at least 81 Audio books since joining Audible, all self improvement as I was in search of an inner makeover, including mind, body and spirit. Each book I've listened to has been helpful to me and I've found I would usually take one important theme from each book and begin to apply it to my own life. I love how each book has lead to the next with deeper meaning. This book in particular seems a true gift from God. Some of the book was quite technical in terms of how the mind and the brain worked. I hung on even if I didn't understand completely I learned so much. Then when I reached the part of the book with specific instructions on how to apply what I learned I listened every morning for a week to ten days so I would fully grasp the instructions. After only a few days of genuinely following through, I began to see little miracles, I am so encouraged and exited to see what God has in store for me next, after searching for a way to truly feel the joy of the Lord all my life, this author has given me a way to see and feel the glory of God. Yes, this is by far the most helpful book I've ever read. good stuff Dr Caroline leaf is refreshing! I hope to read more of her work. with most recent events, we could do with more writers of this caliber. so very encouraging. synthesis of Spiritual insight & Brain Science Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? An incredible book on the Science and Spirit of choosing and living one's Perfect Life and brain states. We have long desired a book like this to narrow the gulf between science and research and optimum spiritual practice. Life-changing Book for Personal Growth What made the experience of listening to The Perfect You the most enjoyable? I have not listened to or read another book that gave me great hope in who God has made us to be... a perfect self... fully loved and ready to remove lies that do not bring life. Its a Christian book Didnt realize this when I bought it, and its not presented as such in the description.

If you're looking for the original book, you can find it on Audible or Amazon. This summary is wholly written and published by readtrepreneur.com It is not affiliated with the original author in any way. Many of us are bombarded by society's standards, telling us who we should be, and what we should be like. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck teaches us how to let go of things that do not define nor matter to us, and only give a "f*ck" about the things that truly matter, which will make us happy individuals in the long run. "Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a f*ck about what's truly f*ckworthy." - Mark Manson Many a times, we are hesitant to reject requests from others and often end up in a situation that we never wanted to be in the first place, helping other people at the expense of ourselves. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck reminds us that we all have choices, and we must choose what we want to care about. Death is inevitable and our time on earth is limited. We choose how we want to spend it; on f*ckworthy or non-f*ckworthy things. Gain a totally unique perspective as you learn to live a fulfilling life you will enjoy. Members Reviews: Appriciated..! Actually, I appreciate this sound and it encourages me when I am having a harsh day.This helped me to take a look at my own esteems and ordinary conduct from another point of view, other than it is elegantly composed. I would suggest it to any person who is occupied with self development.Makes you reconsider what truly matters to you in this life. d The sense of superiority will never make you feel happy. Thats one of the valued quotations Ive picked up as I listened to this audio piece. I would never want to be like an entitled person. Im glad that I was able to ponder on it and the ways the book has suggested will definitely be valued. Got the point across. Absolutely a book that can change anybodys life that has an open mind. A closed mind neither receives nor entertains improvement on ones thinking. Therefore if your mind is open you can partake in reformatting backwards thinking and improve your quality of life through a direct connection to the brain. Not the book Wasted a credit on this thinking it was the actual book when in fact it is a summary. Not a great summary and sounds like it was read by a robot. Excellent! Well worth the time spent listening. now to rewind and play a couple more times.

Walking with God through Pain and Suffering Audiobook by Timothy Keller

Title: Walking with God through Pain and Suffering Author: Timothy Keller Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-13 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 408 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller - whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers - explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering? Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years. The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewiss The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Kubler-Rosss On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. Its time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller? As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue. Members Reviews: Extremely insightful and applicable!!! I recently lost my son to an aggressive and inoperable brain tumor. He was 12. This book validated a lot of my thoughts and feelings I had about God. It, also, made me think of different aspects of pain and suffering I would not have otherwise known had it not read the book. Part 1 of the book was a bit hard to digest due to the higher level of writing. But I thoroughly enjoyed Parts 2&3. I will definitely be reading again. Best book on suffering g I've ever read Keller deals with almost every angle when it comes to the truth of suffering. He discusses both the personal and philosophical ideas in an unashamed and in afraid way dealing with the big questions that all suffers face. He doesn't back down from the sticky stuff and answers each in a satisfactory way. Keller also does a great job at showing the historical views of suffering being nuanced enough to show all the views of suffering from scripture. This isn't a one size fits all type if advice. In fact Keller states clearly that there are many Tyler's of suffering and each must be dealt with differently. However, my favorite part was the stories of real people at the end of each chapter. Hearing how they dealt with suffering was incredibly inspirational. Just the book for this topic If you could sum up Walking with God through Pain and Suffering in three words, what would they be? THE most helpful What other book might you compare Walking with God through Pain and Suffering to and why? No comparison! What about Lloyd Jamess performance did you like? His gracious, calm, tender, compassionate narration Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? The reminder to heed the full counsel of Scripture. Any additional comments? I would say this is THE book for those of us who have had great tragedy and suffering we thought we could not live with. Timothy Keller has spared himself no hard study in preparing a work that biblically and thoroughly treats this difficult topic. Do not expect a lite read. Bring your brain and engage.

Change Your Life I loved the audiobook. This book put together some of the best talks by Jim Rohn. Great Loved it. The title is exactly how you would feel at the end.

Title: NLP: The Essential Guide to Neuro-Linguistic Programming Author: NLP Comprehensive, Susan Sanders, Tom Hoobyar, Tom Dotz Narrator: Tom Dotz Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: NLP Comprehensive Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) has helped millions to overcome their fears, increase their confidence, and achieve greater success in their personal and professional lives and relationships. Now, from the company that created NLP: The New Technology of Achievement - one of the best-selling NLP books of all time - comes NLP: The Essential Guide to Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This user-friendly guide, written by three seasoned NLP master practitioners and coaches, leads you on a personal journey in using and applying NLP in everyday life. Through their real-life stories, you will experience the NLP strategies you need to achieve specific results in business and in life. As you read NLP: The Essential Guide, you'll find yourself thinking in new ways and applying the techniques to your own personal challenges and opportunities for greater satisfaction. Members Reviews: My first experience with Tom Hoobyar's NLP expertise My first experience with NLP was with Tom Hoobyar himself, doing an impromptu session with me at a conference in a hotel. He said he could fix some of my "inner head trash" and asked me if there was an issue I'd like his help with. This was a decade ago. I knew NLP worked because a lot of top platform presenters and sales people use it effectively to persuade - with embedded commands etc. Take-no-prisoners sales guys don't give a rip about theory, as long as it works. So I knew NLP wasn't hocus-pocus. I explained how my oldest son, who then was 3 years old, had this odd way of being able to push my buttons and make me angry. I knew it was irrational and it was MY problem. And I didn't like it. I tended to get mad at him very easily. (But not either of the other two kids.) I knew it was damaging my relationship with the little guy. Tom says, "OK Perry, describe a scene where your son does something that sets you off." I think for a minute and say, "He walks to the refrigerator, opens it, pours himself a glass of milk. Then he drops the milk jug on the floor. It splits open and sprays milk all over the kitchen and I get MAD at him." Tom says, "Great. Now when do you actually feel yourself getting angry? Is it when he spills the milk, or is it some other time?" He talks me through the scene one frame at a time. I realize I get mad just *before* he spills the milk, not after. Tom slows down the film strip even more and asks me if I'm seeing, hearing, smelling, or feeling anything else. This is odd. Like. . . what??? I don't know what he's talking about. But he helps me slow down the frames in my mind even more. Suddenly I realize that at a certain moment there's this sort of blue flash of light in my mind and it's a flash of ANGER. It actually has a location in space. It has color and texture. "Great!" Tom says. "Now I want you to do something for me." He stands up and walks across the room diagonally, from one corner to the other. He points to an invisible line on the floor and says, "This is the time line of your life. This corner is when you were born, that corner is someday when you die. Come stand here in the middle, in the present." (One of Tom Hoobyar's favorite techniques is helping you understand how you perceive your own time line. Everyone is different.) I comply with his request.

No chapter tabs My low rating is for the format this is in. It is not divided in chapters, so you must listen straight through. You can't open up and choose a desired place in the book Awesome Being in the military Im always looking for different ways to build a team. This is an awesome book! must read for anyone who is apart of a team i loved this book. if you are looking to grow as leader read this book More about the author than about leadership. This author spends a lot of time in self-congratulation, and it isnt terribly useful. I dont care about his church accomplishments, and I wish the tone had less disdain for women and workers. While there is some useful content here, other authors do a far better job expressing it, and they do so in a way I can share with colleagues at work. As it is, theres too much religious content and discussion of protected classes for this to be HR safe. Love It! This is one of the best books for anyone who wants to expand their teamwork skills. And if your good this will help fine tune you into great. Well read and very clear and easy to follow.

Members Reviews: Great book for both child and parent... I am a believer of Steven Covey's 7 habits, read it and listened to it as a young professional, have used it many times in both my personal and business life. When my son's 9th grade summer reading requirement was 7 habits for teens...I was thrilled. I ordered thinking I would just breeze through and listen to parts...ended up listening to the book and then listening again with him. I would recommend it to any parent who has a child who like to set goals, plays sports, and win in life. Sean does a great job reading his words, and the kids telling their storie and view point add some interest. My son enjoyed it also. Self-Help for Teens Would you listen to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens again? Why? This is a great ride and discuss book. While riding with your teenager you can stop and discussion each Habit. It could be reviewed when having trouble with mastering a habit without having to redo the entire book. What did you like best about this story? I like that various voices that read the parts of contributing teenagers. This breaks-up the information in a way that makes it interesting. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Even though I'm no longer a teenager, the book has helped me relate to the teenagers with which I work each day. It reminds me of the challenges teens face. Surprise! I have one son who loves to listen and one that doesn't. BUT when the two listened to Covey, they both laughed out loud. From my non-listener, that is high praise. Truly. wow really help me out it was an amazing book I learn to become more positive and it really helped me out understanding my parents Great book! Easy and entertaining to listen to. A great start or intro to the book for teens that don't like to read. I only wish I had ordered the workbook to go along with it.

The full book will be one I'll listen to in the future but this was a great primer. Well narrated as well. Flashbooks almost always delivers. Well done!! a great companion when your personal initiative is falling short. very good insight. loved it. Not happy Information Ive have already heard over the internet or in short video clips of Mel herself, disappointed I had to use a credit on it . Anti-Climatic in some aspects and voice.... Would you consider the audio edition of Summary of The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins to be better than the print version? I would have rather read this in print because her voice is slightly irritating. If youve listened to books by FlashBooks Book Summaries before, how does this one compare? The other books were better. What does Dean Bokhari bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She tells some repetitive stories that are as old as time. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Her story on alcoholic is moving. Any additional comments? Overall, I think this book would have been better if narrated by someone else. Just what you need instead of a dragged out book This summary succinctly captures the essence of the 5 second rule and how to apply it in your life without all the anecdotes. The concept is simple and it works. This is perfect and has already changed my life for the better. Thanks Mel for the original but thank you for this short and sweet version too!

Title: NLP Subtitle: The New Technology of Achievement Author: Charles Faulkner, Gerry Schmidt, Robert McDonald, Tim Hallbon, Suzi Smith, Kelly Gerling Narrator: Charles Faulkner, Gerry Schmidt, Robert McDonald, Tim Hallbon, Suzi Smith, Kelly Gerling Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-14 Publisher: Nightingale-Conant Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 149 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: A powerful technology for producing change. When we first encountered NLP more than a dozen years ago, we realized it represented a paradigm shift - a completely new way of thinking that makes heightened achievement levels and personal transformation possible. Here's the great reality about NLP: If one person can do something, anyone else can learn how to do it! Now, human excellence can be systematically studied, then reproduced. Just as you can learn to ski, drive, or use a computer, so too can you learn to apply the core achievement skills: motivation, persuasion, confidence and self-esteem. In this program, some of the nation's outstanding NLP trainers will share the same strategies they have taught thousands of NLP Comprehensive seminar participants. You'll learn: Members Reviews: Helpful information As a hypnotist, NLP is not new to me, but it is nice to review the principles in redesigning a personal identity. A book about NLP... And thats just it. This book talks about NLP and how good it is... a lot... but doesn't actually talk much about the techniques! It's pretty useless for people who are normal happy people. To sum up the book - Be happy, don't be negative. You don't need to listen to the book now. Going to try and get a refund. Right To the skinny of NLP Went from start to finish to review again. Didn't put it down and repeated focusing, on the concepts that I wanted to review. Great NLP exercises I am studying NLP and it's really fascinating! There are a lot of techniques which can get a bit confusing. This book is nice as an accompaniment to a more comprehensive program as it provides really great exercises. You get a direct learning experience if you are willing to participate in them. The book is chunked into 6 topics, in 6 chapters, with 6 different presenters. You can focus on one part at a time and note your progress. This format also makes it easy to go back and review and refresh in any or all of these areas. I highly recommend this to any NLP student. can be shorter hard to listen its ok but...nothing really .prefer more shorter and not so long whithout any need to be.

Bright Sunshiney Day I can see clearly now the the fog, confusion, doubt is gone!! Definitely has made me stronger mentally! Great book, presented well I listen to a lot of books and watch interviews and listen to podcasts. This book is full of great pieces you may have heard before. But the author does a great job at presenting them in his own unique way. I was lead here by Chasing Excellence by Ben Bergeron. Another great book. love it every time i learn and relearn the lessons of self leadership every time i listen to this book. Exceptional people This story is a wonderful "pep talk" helping everyone achieve their potential and greatness and to find and nurture the exceptional person inside them. Although I don't play golf I really enjoyed the book and the stories and the way it has been narrated by the author.

Title: Learning to Love Yourself Author: Gay Hendricks Ph.D. Narrator: John Malone Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 11-27-17 Publisher: Echo Point Books & Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: For more than 30 years, Gay Hendricks has served as one of the major contributors to the fields of relationship transformation and body-mind therapies. In his updated classic, Learning to Love Yourself, Dr. Hendricks provides a honest, fresh, yet timeless, approach to handling your feelings and developing a deeply positive sense of self-worth. This book has helped tens of thousands. Throughout his career, Dr. Hendricks has coached more than 800 executives, including the top management at firms such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, and KLM. Along with his wife, Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks, he has coauthored many books including Conscious Loving, The Corporate Mystic, and his latest, the New York Times best seller Five Wishes, which has been translated into 17 languages.

In recent years his passion has been writing a new series of mystery novels featuring the Tibetan Buddhist private detective, Tenzing Norbu. Ten's first adventure was The First Rule of Ten, followed by The Second Rule of Ten and more to come. Members Reviews: This is the single most impactful book I have EVER read. This is the single most impactful book I have EVER read. Truthfully. While I had heard people talk about the book here and there the past few years, I was never motivated to read it. Probably because I was just tired of all the 'trying'. I'd tried everything I could imagine to attempt to feel better. And I probably spent more than $10,000 and a thousand hours (or more) on counseling, personal development, meditation stuff, medications (the few times I tried them), spiritual exploration... ANYTHING that would help to alleviate, even just a bit, the pain and depression I had experienced for decades. And NOTHING has helped me as much as the simple message and instruction in this book: knowing that my entire life can change the moment I choose to love myself. And now, today, I am SO THANKFUL - like, EVERY second of every day - that I did finally read it. I won't preach or give full list/history of my past... just know that I've lived with severe bipolar, suicidal depression, and off-the-charts ADHD for nearly two decades, none of which I could, or wanted to, take medication for. Much of which, I'm sure, was caused by growing up in about the worst home environment you can imagine; the worst kinds of stuff. I write all of this simply to say: that if you're low - like SO LOW, like you're in the the VERY, VERY dark, caving-in, hell-ish pit that makes dying appear a real, and perhaps, better, option to living)... I've been there. And my heart goes out to you. I have so much compassion and appreciation for what you're experiencing. Just hope - not even believe, not know - just have the slightest bit of hope that life can get better. That is ALL you need to begin. And then... read this book and apply its' single lesson: *** Love yourself, right now, for whatever you're feeling, thinking or experiencing.

Big Book audible What disappointed you about The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous (Including 12 Steps, Guides & Prayers )? The information is great. The narration of this book is very poor.

Dianetics Audiobook by L. Ron Hubbard

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/321/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Dianetics Subtitle: The Modern Science of Mental Health Author: L. Ron Hubbard Narrator: Lloyd Sherr Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-20-08 Publisher: Bridge Publications, Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 214 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Containing discoveries heralded as greater than the wheel or fire, Dianetics has remained a best seller for more than 50 years. And with over 20 million copies in print - generating a movement that spans virtually every country on earth - it's indisputably the most widely read and influential book ever written about the human mind. Here is the anatomy and full description of the Reactive Mind, the previously unknown source of the nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets, and insecurities that enslave Man. This book shows you how to get rid of it, and so achieve something Man has previously only dreamed of: the State of Clear. Dianetics enables you to discover and eradicate these harmful experiences, so they never affect you again, revealing the one person you've always wanted to know: You. Members Reviews: Repetitive nonsense I always thought Dianetics and Scientology were a bit loopy, but before I criticize something I make a point of understanding it first. I chose to listen to Dianetics on audible instead of reading it because of the length. I am about half way through and I can't take it any more. There is a lot of nonsense talk and the word engram is used so often I swear some one gets a commission each time it's read. The basic premise is that there are two minds in each person, the analytical mind and the reactive mind. The analytical mind is rational and makes decisions based on logic. The reactive mind reacts based on fear and aggression, based on past traumatic experiences. This is not rocket science to most people. This is the problem of this book. It takes this simple premise and reiterates it chapter after chapter, paragraph after paragraph, in such a repetitive and boring manner. To keep you excited (asleep really) the author has thrown in lots of gibberish fake science. Every time I read something I disagree with I at least see something of merit in the authors work, a point of view. I see some reasoned argument for that persons position and I can learn from it. This book is the first time I have walked away understanding nothing. It is clearly trash designed to take your money and provide you with nothing in return. As Orwell said, it is trying to give solidity to pure wind. I gave up before the book made any kind of point. What would have made Dianetics better? The book just rambled. I'm hoping it eventually got to a point or some sort of action plan, I just couldn't hang in there. It kept going in circles without giving any kind of real information. What was most disappointing about L. Ron Hubbards story? There was no story. What does Lloyd Sherr bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I probably wouldn't have made it past the first page if I hadn't been plugged into an audio book and taking a walk. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. Caution: listening to this causes loss of intelligence I have never heard such a pile of rubbish. I started with such an open mind and now I fear I have less mind to open. This was also very dull. Naïve and dated. This belongs as a complete work of fiction. It shows the dated viewpoints of the late 1950s and early 1960s of the white heterosexual male. I have not been able to find a verification of this so called science of the mind other than this book.

Think and Grow Rich (1937 Edition) Audiobook by Napoleon Hill

Title: Think and Grow Rich (1937 Edition) Subtitle: The Original 1937 Unedited Edition Author: Napoleon Hill Narrator: Fred Stella Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-14 Publisher: Think and Grow Rich on Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 405 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: The Napoleon Hill Foundation received many requests from people wanting the original, unedited, 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those customers, the Foundation reproduced Napoleon Hills personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, not to be loaned, and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hills was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as Uncle Nap and will often make the statement, "Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today." The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleons wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the books value in Hills judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time. Think and Grow Rich sells more copies today than before Dr. Hill died in 1970. Now, a new and authoritative recording of this original, unedited, one-of-a-kind work, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation is available. By purchasing this audio edition, you will be supporting the nonprofit Napoleon Hill Foundation. The entire philosophy of Napoleon Hill is based on the Golden Rule. The Foundation deeply appreciates the support of those of you who only purchase Napoleon Hill authorized books. You can identify these materials by the Foundation Logo and by looking inside for Napoleon Hill copyright. Members Reviews: This version, read by Fred Stella, is THE version to buy The book Think and Grow Rich is a classic. If you were to ask any author who writes on success, motivation, or self improvement my guess is each one would recommend this book. The book, originally published in 1937, is now available online for free because copyrights have lapsed and that has led to more recent print editions having slight changes to the original text. This audio is true to the original text and I find Fred's voice, pace and style to be the most enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this version as well as Fred's reading of Napoleon Hill's Laws of Success also here on Audible. The original and ultimate success bible... When it comes to the foundations of success, this book simply has no equal. I can't believe it had been this long since I visited it and especially on audiobook. It's so packed with deep wisdom that there's a temptation to dismiss parts of the work as less important when in reality, it is simply a complete work of gold. A must read/listen for anyone who wants to tap into the life we were all born to lead in seeking the best that's inside each of us... The world's greatest classic Did not disappoint! I have struggled to finish reading this book for years but on audio, I finished it in 3 days! excellent remember of core habits. don't be offended by some of the time periods gender bias descriptions.

Title: The Rhythm of Life Author: Matthew Kelly Narrator: Matthew Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 02-29-16 Publisher: Beacon Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 268 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: In The Rhythm of Life, Matthew Kelly exposes the lifestyle challenges and problems that face us in this age obsessed with noise, speed, and perpetual activity. Kelly's message rings out with a truth that is challenging and unmistakably attractive. Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do or what you have. Are you ready to meet the best version of yourself? The Rhythm of Life is a brilliant and clear-eyed rejection of the chaotic lifestyle that has captured the world, written with common sense, humor, and extraordinary insight. This book is destined to change lives! Members Reviews: Not completely in line with book, but still worth every penny This audible book has a couple parts skipped from the actual book. And it also have 1 whole 50 minute segment repeated. I still give it 5 stars. Great message and I would recommend this to anyone READ THIS NOW WOW!!!!! to every human struggle that Kelly discusses it is always followed by a reasonable and doable solution (I.e. commit to working out 1x/week; commit to reading 10minutes/day; RELAX on Sunday by going through old photos, spending time with someone you haven't seen for a while). I would also recommend Mark Mansons the subtle art of not giving a f*ck as both authors held similar perspectives for many topics! Very Inspirational Would you listen to The Rhythm of Life again? Why? I would listen to this book again because it was full of exact things that need to be done to improve your life physically and spiritually Extraordinarily Provocative Listen I loved it. It is a refreshing reminder to be the best version of myself. First sentence was the best. Everything after that either supports it or regurgitates the theme. Good confirmation but not eye opening.

El Dalai Lama, el líder budista más conocido y respetado, y Premio Nobel de la Paz, enseña en este audiolibro a reconocer las nociones equivocadas que tenemos de nosotros mismos para abordar la realidad desde una perspectiva más certera y humana. Como las dos alas de un pájaro, el amor y el conocimiento interior trabajan juntos para llevarnos a la iluminación. Con anécdotas personales, el Dalai Lama muestra las claves que ofrece la tradición budista para el conocimiento personal y el despertar espiritual. Una obra inspiradora, indispensable para todas aquellas personas que necesitan encontrar en su interior las respuestas a los grandes interrogantes de su ser en el mundo. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Opiniones de los miembros: Clearly spoken Spanish - I like it . Where does Conócete a Ti Mismo Tal Y Como Realmente Eres rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I bought it to listen to well spoken Spanish and learn new phrases / vocabulary in the process . It achieved that for me. Percibimos erróneamente nuestra naturaleza Extraordinaria visión del Dalai Lama sobre el porque es tan difícil conocernos a nosotros mismos, cuando para empezar no percibimos las realidad tal como es, especialmente nuestro yo (o ego), así como la dificultad de aceptar nuestra impermanencia y de lo que nos rodea. La narración es bastante aceptable. Información importante, pero... Es difícil de seguir ya que hay mucha repetición e formas de expresión muy detalladas y quizás demasiado complejas, para mi al menos. Se que la información es buena, pero no me pueda concentrar en el libro por mucho rato debido a la manera que esta escrito It brings a fundamental truth to help us finish the life cycle I like the universal nature of Buda philosophy. I recommend this book for everybody who wants to live in a very peaceful and happy way. I rated 4 stars because the message is repeated perhaps too many times along the book, although it it was done on purpose. excelente hay que escuchar 2 veces para aprovechar el crecimiento interior como causa de felicidad, paz interior a través de olvidarse del yo

Explorers and mariners can depend on Polaris when there are no other landmarks in sight. The same relationship exists between you and your right life, the ultimate realization of your potential for happiness. I believe that a knowledge of that perfect life sits inside you just as the North Star sits in its unaltering spot. You may think you're utterly lost, but brush away the leaves, wait for the clouds to clear, and you'll see your destiny shining as brightly as ever - the fixed point in the constantly changing constellations of your life." (Martha Beck) As the creator of Life Designs, Inc., Martha Beck has helped hundreds of clients find their own North Stars and figure out how to fulfill their potential and create joyful lives through her lectures, seminars, and one-on-one counseling. In this book she shares her step-by-step program that will guide you to fulfill your own potential. Members Reviews: Rich source of practical content This book gives a practical step by step approach and is filled with thought-provoking exercises. The only disappointment is the narrator. Her voice is overly animated and distracting. I usually listen to books like this again and again but I'm going to buy the print edition because I just can't handle the audio. I would have preferred the author's own voice. You Feel Lost? But dont know why? Read to Find Yourself...Again. That strange feeling/emotion youre having is explained with this book. Read Narration not for me I could not focus on the material, i found the narration voice and tone annoying. Heading North now great information and exercises to complete but it sounds like the narrarators voice was cut and paste it's all about you & only you!

Subtitle: And Life's Other Essential Questions Author: James E. Ryan Narrator: James E. Ryan Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 192 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Joining the ranks of Tina Seelig's What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20, Clayton Christensen's How Will You Measure Your Life, Mary Karr's Now Go out There, and George Saunders' Congratulations, by the Way is an insightful guide that reveals the secret to pursuing a rich, fulfilling life: the art of asking (and answering) good questions. In his commencement address to the graduating class of 2016, James E. Ryan, dean of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education, offered remarkable advice to the crowd of hopeful men and women eager to make their marks on the world. The key to achieving emotional connections and social progress, he told them, can be found in five essential questions: "Wait, what?" is at the root of all understanding. "I wonder if..." is at the heart of all curiosity. "Couldn't we at least?" is the beginning of all progress. "How can I help?" is the basis of all good relationships. And "what truly matters?" gets you to the heart of life. By regularly asking these questions, Ryan promises, you will be prepared to enthusiastically answer yes to one final - and, ultimately, most important - question: "And did you get what you wanted out of life, even so?" In this thoughtful, illuminating book, Ryan builds upon his wildly popular and universally praised address, which has been viewed more than four million times online. Wait, What? offers further insights into the art of asking good questions, highlighted by hilarious and surprising anecdotes from Ryan's personal and professional lives as well as stories from politics, popular culture, and social movements throughout history. Engaging and inspiring, Wait, What? will change the way you look at yourself and the world and, in the process, help you get what you want most out of life.

Title: The Charge Subtitle: Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make You Feel Alive Author: Brendon Burchard Narrator: Brendon Burchard Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-12 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 764 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: From the author of the number-one New York Times and number-one audio bestseller The Millionaire Messenger, an electrifying and inspiring work that provides the keys to motivating yourself to satisfy your highest, most essential creative and intellectual needs. In the hyper-connected, hyper-digitized world in which we are living, the time has come to revise Abraham Maslow's classic "hierarchy of needs" a pyramid of human drives that places the basic needs of safety and sustenance at the bottom. Burchard, a world-renowned motivational speaker and best-selling author, makes a compelling case that it's time for an entirely new approach to understanding what drives human ambition and achievement today; it's time to change the conversation about what it takes to succeed and feel alive and fulfilled in a stressful, chaotic, distracted world. In The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make You Feel Alive, Burchard, using pioneering studies from the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience, as well as great stories from his own experience, identifies the ten simple drives of human emotion and happiness: Control, Competence, Congruence, Caring, Connection, Change, Challenge, Creative expression, Contribution, and Consciousness. The Charge provides the keys to understanding and activating these drives in clear and concrete ways that will inspire and help everyone find the one thing we all are searching for: more life in our lives. Critic Reviews: " The Charge is an inspiring guide to the one thing we all want: more life in our lives. Brendon Burchard proves that we can harness our emotional drives to feel more alive, and that it's our internal charge that helps us meet life's challenges with joy and courage. I love this book." (Paulo Coelho, New York Times bestselling author of The Alchemist) There hasn't been a game-changing book on personal development in a long time. The wait is over. The Charge confronts our very notions of what drives us as humans, and after reading this book youll find a new internal charge thats stronger and more energized than you ever imagined possible. (Jack Canfield, Co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and author of The Success Principles) Members Reviews: Good info ? Good info, if not completely new... I appreciate the intent of this book BUT it lost me with the less than inspiring presentation. I think he should hire a professional narrator. He sounds like an infomercial speaker the whole time, trying so hard to relate to the audience, but sounding plastic. Ugh! He needs to work on learning to speak naturally. Just TALK to people. Stop performing. Huge turn off. Good but a bit fictitious Interesting perspectives but a bit to "diary" like and to much religion related discussions. Great book though, thanks! Not top of my list So at one point during the listen Mr. Burchard lets on that his coaching fee for a one year period is $250,000. So when I heard this, I said this is gonna be fantastic. Rather it was just meh. Ive listened to several personal development books and while he had several good ideas and recommendations, I did not find his system particularly compelling, nor in many instances practical. There are better listens out there.

Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records Audio Book Audiobook by Kevin J. Todeschi

Todeschi Narrator: David Hartley Margolin Format: Original Recording Length: 6 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-10 Publisher: A.R.E. Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 457 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: The best-selling Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records is read in its entirety by voice-talent David Hartley Margolin. The Akashic Records, also known as the Book of Life, are the storehouse of all information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth, containing every word, deed, feeling, thought, and intent that ever occurred. Learn how you can tap into your records - your past lives, your present experiences, and your future - to create the life you desire now. Members Reviews: Just what I needed I had gotten another audiobook about the Akashic records and was very disappointed. This one is NOT about accessing the Akashic records. It is a reading of the many readings Casey did and case histories. The most important thing I walked away with was the understanding of how past lives effect our current life and how it is not so important to know the specifics of your own past lives if you can understand the way it works. I can make a lot of guesses about my past lives just based on these case histories and knowing your past life is not so important as understanding what it is you need to do now and do it - which is basically to forgive everyone and be the best person you can be from moment to moment. Most of us know our own shortcomings but want to blame others. This was a very worthy use of my time and I have listened more than once and will listen to it again in the future I am sure. Interesting info This is the 2nd Edgar Cayce book I've listened to. He sounds like a fascinating man. Unfortunately, Mr. Cayce passed on before I was born. I wish I could have met him in person.. We hear a lot these days from New Agers saying basically the same things Mr. Cayce said 60 years ago. I've read a few other books about the Akashic Records, but found this book to be the most informative, and useful, of all I've read. Very enjoyable. The last hour of the program is meditations (and very good ones at that).. If you are on a spiritual journey and wonder about things like the Akashic Records, Reincarnation, etc., you'll get a lot out of this book. Astonishing! After completing the audio book I now have a good understanding of the Akashic Records and their purpose. If you believe that channeling your higher self and the use of the Akashic Records are all that is needed to obtain pure higher source of information this book is for you. Makes you think Would you listen to Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records Audio Book again? Why? I would for sure listen again. There is so much info on the subject of our being ( soul ) that you will catch something different every time you listen. Very , very interesting. What other book might you compare Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records Audio Book to and why? Anything by James Van Praag or Sylvia Brown. Anything about our soul , lets face it is very interesting , who hasn't wondered why we are here . Weather these things are true or not how else are you going to know unless you keep an open mind not just what we are always taught in church.

Hardcore Self Help: F--k Anxiety Audiobook by Robert Duff

Title: Hardcore Self Help: F--k Anxiety Author: Robert Duff Narrator: Robert Duff Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-15 Publisher: Robert Duff Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 435 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Hardcore Self Help: F--k Anxiety is for those of us who find the prospect of reading a traditional self-help book to be way too boring. How are you supposed to make positive changes in your life if the book itself feels like a chore? This audiobook is definitely not a chore. In Hardcore Self Help: F--k Anxiety, I talk to you like a friend. There is lots of swearing and humor but also loads of helpful and actionable information. You learn about anxiety and how to find the weapons within yourself to slay it for good. The audiobook is performed and recorded by me, so you get every intended inflection! Members Reviews: not too shabby What's with the clicking sound during the meditation? Otherwise the rest of the book is really good! It's ok. But not awesome. I like the author who's also the reader. I think this book is geared towards the younger generation. I bought the book because of the title but I was expecting a little bit more than I got. I think it's a great read if this is the first time you are reading about anxiety. Horrible Wish I had not wasted my money! Don't bother with this!!! Not helpful. BLEH. Waste of time Although the author does a very good job of narrating his book and his ideas and it was entertaining to listen to the subject matter is pointless and I got absolutely nothing from this. I would not recommend this to anyone I Am Not Offended By Offensive Language... when it is used with effect, but this is gratuitous and stupid. The author tries to make up for the very ordinary approach to anxiety treatment (nothing new here) with "talking like a normal person" ("normal" if you use empty vulgarity every other word) and trying to seem hip and cool and identifiable. (The tone pretty much runs like this: "You don't need some egghead telling you about those fancy neurotransmitters when I can make it seem much more relatable by referring to your brain as a "douche."--Please!) It's not so much anxiety as the reader here that ends up feeling....well,,,

Becoming a Barbarian Audiobook by Jack Donovan

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/321/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Becoming a Barbarian Author: Jack Donovan Narrator: Jack Donovan, James Dorton Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-16 Publisher: Jack Donovan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 457 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Becoming a Barbarian won't teach you how to swing a battle axe or crush your enemies (so that you can see them driven before you and then hear the lamentation of their women). Becoming a Barbarian is a follow-up to Donovan's cult hit, The Way of Men. Good, modern, civilized Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated. Becoming a Barbarian attacks the emasculated emptiness of life in the modern West and shows men how to think tribally again. It reveals the weaknesses of universalistic thinking, and challenges listeners to become the kind of men who could go all-in and devote their lives to one group of people above all others. Becoming a Barbarian is about finding a tribe, finding a purpose, and choosing to live the kind of life that undermines the narrative of the Empire. Members Reviews: Golden All rounds hit center mass, correct thought and execution. I can't think of a more direct well written message, become what you admire. A neccesary awakening for the modern male I loved it.My most memorable part was the in depth criticism of the modern male citizen and description of the empire of nothing.A must read. beating a dead horse I don't disagree with the ideas in this book but way too much repeating! good listen highly recommend too anyone wanting too become a barbarian for sure gave me some new outlook on life A must read for men! Men, get this book! Rediscover what you know to be true despite what modern society tries to shove down your throat. Unplug from the status quo and give yourself permission to be the man that you know you should be. You don't have to be a Barbarian but you should embrace how you were created. This is an outstanding and short listen. I recommend listening at 1.5x speed and finish in one shot to get the full blitz effect...Then listen once more to capture the details. But just get it already!

Title: The Perfect Day Formula Subtitle: How to Own the Day and Control Your Life Author: Craig Ballantyne Narrator: Craig Ballantyne Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-17 Publisher: Early to Rise Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Most people are stuck. Every day we seem to just go through the motions, following our usual routine without ever stopping and thinking why we do what we do, or what we'd rather be doing instead. But sometimes, we have that one day - that Perfect Day - where everything just clicks. We feel great. We are unstoppable. And at the end of it we think, "Why can't every day be like this?" Critic Reviews: "Everybody wants to live the perfect life but fail to understand you do that by designing and living the perfect day, day after day. This book shows you exactly what you have to do to create that day." (Larry Winget, author of Grow a Pair) "Like his site Early to Rise, Craig's book relies on ancient wisdom and classic thinkers - including my favorite, the Stoics - to help you organize your day and run your life." (Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle Is the Way) Members Reviews: do not buy this book is basically an ad to attend one of Craig's seminars. what a disappointment Great Book for Personal Improvement I really enjoyed this book. The content was put together in a way that anyone could incorporate into their life. It showed me how much time I waste on things that don't matter and to focus on what really does to have a purposeful and happy life. 90% motivational speaker-ese, 10% good ideas I'm into self-improvement books, but this one was too cheesy, poorly written and over-simplified for my tastes. He makes big promises about how the Perfect Day template will change your life in every way possible (*eyeroll*), says things like "make rules for yourself and stick to them and you'll beat procrastination" as if that's any kind of real solution, and waste a lot of time with inspirational filler words, like life, goals, dreams, aspirations, etc. By part 2 I was audibly making gagging noises every time he overused those words. I was gagging a lot. But having said all that, here I am at 6:20 in the morning, writing a review for this book. So yes, there's a good idea in there, and if this book could be summed up in one sentence, it would be: Get up early and tackle your one thing. OK, so this review is not the most important thing in my day. I'm going to go get work done now. I just thought I'd spare the rest of you I whole bunch of wasted time by reading this book. Too many examples I got tired of listening to him tell a story for each little thing. 5 pillars of success, a whole chapter of telling stories for each. I felt like I was listening to someones life story. Every "secret" to success was so simple, oh you have a goal? Break it into small goals! Bam, problem solved. Thanks for that groundbreaking advice Craig. The only thing I got out of it was the idea of creating a daily Not To-Do list. Great reaminder Craig, confirms the truth of greatness inside everyone is wanting out! and can help make the world better by focusing on My Vision! others will support me if I share and ask!

Hallelujah Anyway Audiobook by Anne Lamott

Title: Hallelujah Anyway Subtitle: Rediscovering Mercy Author: Anne Lamott Narrator: Anne Lamott Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 225 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: From the best-selling author of Help, Thanks, Wow and Stitches comes a powerful exploration of mercy, its limitless (if sometimes hidden) presence, why we ignore it, and how we can embrace it. "Mercy is radical kindness," Anne Lamott writes in her enthralling and heartening book Hallelujah Anyway. It's the permission you give others - and yourself - to forgive a debt, to absolve the unabsolvable, to let go of the judgment and pain that make life so difficult. In Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy, Lamott ventures to explore where to find meaning in life. We should begin, she suggests, by "facing a great big mess, especially the great big mess of ourselves." It's up to each of us to recognize the presence and importance of mercy everywhere - "within us and outside us, all around us" - and to use it to forge a deeper understanding of ourselves and more honest connections with each other. While that can be difficult to do, Lamott argues that it's crucial, as "kindness towards others, beginning with myself, buys us a shot at a warm and generous heart, the greatest prize of all." Full of Lamott's trademark honesty, humor, and forthrightness, Hallelujah Anyway is profound and caring, funny and wise - a hopeful book of hands-on spirituality. Members Reviews: Beautiful Another beautifully written and meaningful book by Lamott. Her honesty and willingness to illustrate her own humanity is inspiring. Anne is my new teacher and hero I was blindly searching for some level of direction after wandering 14 years in sobriety. Getting sober was crucial but there had to be more. Something beyond the rooms and staying stuck in a stagnant story that no longer serves. Anne has the gift of delivering something beyond "the same old story." She shines the flashlight on truth as it relates to the human condition. I feel like I've met a soul sister. Love Lamott Great performance and message. Anne is so real! I love her books. I have read them all. The truth of us. Another awesome perspective on our broken and flawed parts and how to give it up. Once again Once again truths are told in a way I can hear them. Thank you Annie

Members Reviews: Deeply gifted speaker and motivator I've downloaded dozens of audible books but this was the first time I was inspired to write a review. I had a very positive impression of Nichols based on The Secret so I thought I'd check out this book. It went far above my expectations. Nichols has a brilliant way of weaving personal experiences, lessons and practical advice that keeps the book interesting and engaging for all 9 hours. She's likable, direct and it's no wonder so many people connect with her. She also has a great voice and her enthusiastic tone makes her a pleasure to listen to. Her passion really comes through and you can't help but be affected by her positivity and insights. Nichols offers so many inspired lessons that pertain to people in all stages of life. It affected me and I'm looking forward to her future work - as well as listening to this one again! Just what I needed for strength and support Lisa reads her life story and shares all her experience, strength and hope she experienced in her life. I gained so much from her open and honest communication and re-listen to it when I am having a difficult time. The best book for healing a broken spirit. Loved every minute of it!!! Sharing her flaws and strengths for our benefit I was first exposed to Ms. Nichols via 'The Secret' and was taken by her sincerity and openness in discussing her own issues - not an easy task when it could be exposed to an audience of millions. Even though I grew up in as contrasting circumstances as you could find: a male in rural Pennsylvania in the 60's, many of her trials felt very real and personal to me. I listened to her book while driving cross-country to start a new career, and even the title 'No Matter What!' lent much needed emotional and self-confidence support. I really look forward to more life lessons from someone who really has had a life full of challenges and lessons and has a great skill in sharing them with her audience. Excellent!!!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would. Lisa is a great motivator and makes you realize you have the power within.

Members Reviews: Ask Your Guides I have been searching for a Book that would answer all my questions about this very subject. This book is one of the best out there. Wonderfully enlightening! I loved this audio. It truly was enlightening. I have learned so many things about myself that I didn't know 6 hours ago. I am so happy that I have this in audio so that I may listen to my hearts content. Too much music. I really like the book however, music being used from live to regular reading of the author is really disruptive. It would of been best to leave it out. Wonderful introduction to Spirit Guides The information Sonia gives the listener in this recording can help them realize there are Spirit Guides or affirm it if they already realize it. How to live and learn with them is important. Sonia's voice give such a positive feeling to the words. I have started my third time listening to the book !! Excellent Admittedly, some of this sounded like over-simplified hooey, but when I tuned in and tried her techniques, they really do work. Maybe it really is that simple. The proof is in the pudding. I love Sonia's way: gentle, honest, real, light, fun, supportive, encouraging. And I get the impression that she is a person with a lot of integrity, which I like. She also makes a really good point about how Hollywood has given us some misconceptions about how it would be to connect with divine guidance, with loud bells and whistles and lights and what not. It really isn't like that. It's super subtle. But it's magical. Good stuff. Highly recommend opening your mind to her insights.

How to Be an Imperfectionist: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from

Title: How to Be an Imperfectionist: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from Perfectionism Author: Stephen Guise Narrator: Daniel Penz Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-16-15 Publisher: Selective Entertainment, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 194 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: I remember when I aimed for perfect workouts: 30 minutes was the minimum. I was in lousy shape. I remember when I aimed for perfect dating: it couldn't be awkward, forced, or uncertain. I didn't talk to women I was interested in. I remember when I aimed for perfect writing: I wanted 1,000+ words of quality material per day. I played video games instead. I carefully avoided mistakes, endlessly ruminated about what I didn't do, and what I did do wasn't enough. Then, I became an imperfectionist. Everything changed. I had fun stories to tell, like the lesbian pizza incident and the most nervous "Hi" ever spoken by a human being. I learned more. I laughed more. I lived more. I got in great shape, read more books, and improved my social skills. I wrote Mini Habits, which is being translated into a dozen languages. I found I could mess up and still win. Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal. While the freedom of imperfectionism is impactful, it does not preclude us from having problems. Imperfectionists aren't so ironic as to have perfect lives, they're just happier, healthier, and more productive at doing what matters.

This is one of the most life-changing books I have ever read and listened to and read and listened to. I'm guessing it would impact anyone's life in a very positive manner, if taken to heart. Guise takes aim at perfectionism in an honest, engaging way and the wonderful advice is easily applied. Guise has a lot of down-home clarity and he impresses me with his humility and transparency regarding his own struggles with perfectionism. I highly recommend it. What was one of the most memorable moments of How to Be an Imperfectionist: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from Perfectionism? The discussion of analog vs.

How Al-Anon Works for Families and Friends of Alcoholics Audiobook by Al-Anon Family Groups

Title: How Al-Anon Works for Families and Friends of Alcoholics Author: Al-Anon Family Groups Narrator: Anonymous members of Al-Anon Family Groups Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-13 Publisher: Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Al-Anon's basic book discusses the mutual-help program of recovery, including personal stories. A beginning approach to the Twelve Concepts of Service is included. Members Reviews: Worth it, even though it needs pro recording! If you could sum up How Al-Anon Works for Families and Friends of Alcoholics in three words, what would they be? Real help is available What did you like best about this story? Could relate on many levels. Applies to many situations. Logically organized. Lets you know what to expect from a meeting, as well as how to apply help to your own situation, no matter what it is. Covers a lot of ground. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anonymous members of Al-Anon Family Groups? ANYBODY that is a professional book narrator in a real studio!!! Think Barbara Rosenblatt would be great. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I listened for hours, and went back to listen to parts of it over again. This is the kind of book that you can listen to multiple times and get a lot more info from at each hearing. Any additional comments? I understand that they wanted to use "real people/members," so that it would be more relatable and honest. But frankly, the recording quality suffers enormously, and many of the narrators are too stilted. I ended up downloading it again at the highest recording quality and it still took me a long time to be able to stop wincing at the poor audio quality. It is frankly sometimes difficult to hear, especially since I like to listen while driving. I am spoiled by the quality of professional audiobooks, I realize. But this is one area where I feel that Al-Anon needs to break down and turn something this important over to professional book narrators and sound engineers. Still, the material itself is invaluable, and I will be listening to this again and again. I hope others will also petition Al-Anon to re-do this professionally, and to release more Conference Approved Literature in audio formats. They are sorely behind the times in making material available in electronic and audio formats. Terrible audio quality I can't really rate the story. The audio quality is so poor that we gave up after about 45 minutes! Well needed book.. It's great to let you know that you are not alone. Very Real?,could knew better sound, but understand that it's live.. Loved it!! The audible speakers provided real life situations that happen on a day to day basis. How he/she overcame their short comings as well as their loved one addiction and really began to enjoy living life for the first time. This audible is a self-help tool for anyone it speaks to all ethnic races, gender, and social status. Poor audio quality It's a wonderful material for friends and relatives of problem drinkers; however, I found the recording quality quite unbearable.

Throughout all his speeches, Anthony Robbins teaches us many different valuable life-changing lessons. When we listen, we can notice that there are seven main lessons he encourages people to learn. By learning and implementing these lessons and habits into your everyday life, you can increase your likelihood of achieving your goals and manifesting your dreams into reality. These habits work in both your personal life and your career life and will assist you in making the most of any opportunity. It is important to realize that you must work simultaneously on your personal and business lives to achieve success in either, because as Anthony says, "Success without fulfillment is failure. You cannot truly succeed in one if you are unhappy and failing within the other". Members Reviews: Wow! Short and powerful. First, I was disappointed it was not written by Anthony Robbins but Dave O'Brian has put together a fantastic outline for success from Tony Robbins and it is fast at 1.5 speed. We all know Tony's books can be long and detailed so this was awesome. The narration was not as passionate as I would like but at a 1.5 speed, I got over it quick. I typed an out line of 27 points not just 7. Great listen. One I will listen to over and over. Amazing. Loved it. Took together what Anthony suggests to do to succeed. Actions to take. Really enjoyd it. Would have preffered someone with more enthusiasm reading this book, but info was great! Great lessons/experiences are there..... I was interested who precisely was tony and what he finished in life. so I chose to arrange this audio keeping in mind the end goal to take in more about him. Profoundly suggested you must listen if searching for an outline of Tony's work. Great lessons/experiences are there,Hopefully helpful for all ....! Discipline assumes a major part in being fruitful Short however point by point about Tony Robbins. It indicates how discipline assumes a major part in being fruitful. I will allude to this book regularly to keep motivated.A person who truly knows how to awaken many people! Valuable principles designed for help..! If you need to push through to the following level of personal or expert achievement at that point give this audio book an exhaustive read. Valuable principles designed to help enhance personal satisfaction for all persons. Must read and I will share this master piece with my friends.

Goodnight Smartphone Audiobook by Arianna Huffington

Title: Goodnight Smartphone Author: Arianna Huffington Narrator: Arianna Huffington Format: Unabridged Length: 6 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 1279 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Exclusively written for Audible, available only in audio Sleep is central to every part of our lives, and a good night's sleep begins by putting aside the day's worries. But in today's technology-saturated world, saying goodnight to the day is harder than ever. Allow author Arianna Huffington (Thrive, The Sleep Revolution) to guide you to a peaceful night's slumber as she performs Goodnight Smartphone: a classic tale reborn for the modern age, when the hardest thing to say goodnight to is not the moon but our phones, our email, our social media, our always-on digital selves. During a visit to Audible to speak about the benefits of sleep, Arianna joked about what a wonderful book Goodnight Moon is and how other childhood classics help transition kids from daytime to sleep time. She posited why there weren't such books for adults. "Goodnight cares of the day, goodnight worries about tomorrow, goodnight laptop!" she exclaimed. Soon after, Goodnight Smartphone was born. Listen as Arianna borrows from the traditions of children's bedtime stories to create this modern age adaptation for adults, and learn more about her daily sleep regimen in her introduction. Exclusively written for Audible, available only in audio. Free until April 16, 2017. Inspired by children's bedtime classics, this audiobook is a playful and relaxing guide to help you transition from the worries of a stressful day to a good night's sleep, and you can hear it only on Audible. Members Reviews: Quick Ideas About Sleep A short overview of some of the ideas presented in Huffington's recent book The Sleep Revolution with a twist of using the children's book GoodNight Moon as the format. I didn't think it was as awful as some reviews here on Audible made it seem. In fact, it was only 6 minutes long, offered a variety of helpful ideas about getting more sleep and it was free. You can't beat that for a deal. Glad I listened. This was just painful When I saw that someone had decided to revisit Goodnight Moon, I figured it was worth a look. This whole digital "board book" is painful and certainly not a book that I would share with the children in my life. It seems oddly preachy for what I would have assumed was a book intended for children. Seriously, even as a FREE book this is a waste of your time. This awkward stream of consciousness seems more like someone is projecting their own stresses onto paper. I almost regret the fact that it is in my Audible library now because I know I will never listen to it again. Even free it wasnt worth it,,,, Totally not what I expected. I wish I could return it so I didnt have to have it in my library. So sorry to the author, I feel bad for her. Ugh... the Intro... they really should have the option to skip over the intro. Doesn't really make for a good night time story when you have to hear the politicized agenda. Amusing & Relevant Twist on a Classic Kid's Story To me this book is a rather enjoyable modern twist on a classic and beloved bedtime story for me. Truthfully, the first time I listened to this Audible audiobook, I was not expecting to enjoy it at all. The original story has always been dear to my heart so I knew this remake could never be as good. Still I listened with an open mind and found a book that was relevant to listen to.

Confidence Audiobook by Martin Meadows

Title: Confidence Subtitle: How to Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs and Achieve Your Goals Author: Martin Meadows Narrator: John Gagnepain Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-15 Publisher: Meadows Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 263 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Most of us have no problems identifying goals we want to accomplish. It's putting these plans into action that is difficult. Sometimes we lack discipline or motivation. However, there's another reason why you might struggle to make changes in your life - you have low self-efficacy. What is self-efficacy? What are the main four sources of it? How can you develop more confidence in your abilities? These are some of the questions I'll answer in this short book. The advice you're about to read is based both on scientific research and my personal experience. I will share fundamental knowledge that will help you build more confidence in your abilities and reach your goals. Members Reviews: Condensed tips Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? It's a short book and I knew already some of the points discussed, but it's a useful short book. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of John Gagnepain? That was the weakest point for me. I found the narrator terribly boring (sorry). Terribly disappointing While the author understands the material well enough, and the performer reads the book quite well, two things made it impossible for me to complete (or to benefit from) this recording. 1) The author's constant use of the term "efficacy" instead of the word "confidence" kept knocking me out of the flow of the book. (Imagine buying a book about birds. You start to read the book and discover almost no mention of "birds" anywhere in the book. Instead the book is filled with references to "avian creatures". That's roughly what the author has done to this book on self confidence...) 2) Several places in the narrative, the author refers to "her" lack of self efficacy. I found it incongruous that the author felt compelled to assign a female pronoun to a negative condition that effects both genders. - - Please note that I've listened to other recordings by this author/reader team and have enjoyed them, but this particular book needs a massive revision/cleanup before I'd recommend it to anyone! Some Good Advice, but Not Terribly Interesting... Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Some good info in a very quick read, but there are better guides out there. I found a lot of the information here to be either extremely obvious ("don't give up") or dragged out and repeated too much. What was one of the most memorable moments of Confidence? I liked that he mentioned physiological effects of nervousness are interpreted differently by confident and anxious people. How could the performance have been better? Found the voice to be a bit droning and difficult to listen to...There were also a few instances in which he emphasized words strangely and I found this distracting. Did Confidence inspire you to do anything? Some of the better advice was included in the social aspects of confidence-building.

Ten years ago Fredrik Eklund moved to New York City from his native Sweden with nothing but a pair of worn-out sneakers and a dream: to make it big in the city that never sleeps. Since then he's become the top seller in the most competitive real estate market on the planet, brokering multimillion-dollar deals for celebrities, selling out properties all over the city, and charming audiences around the world as one of the stars of the hit Bravo series Million Dollar Listing New York. Now, for the first time, Fredrik shares his secrets so anyone can find success doing what they love. According to Fredrik, even if you don't consider yourself a salesperson, you've been in sales your whole life because every day you are selling your most important asset: yourself. Whenever you influence, persuade, or convince someone to give you something in exchange for what you've got - whether it's a luxury home, a great idea at work, or your profile on Match.com - you are selling. And if you know how to sell the right way, you can live your dream. That is what The Sell is all about. Blending personal stories, hilarious anecdotes, and the expertise he's gained from his meteoric rise, Fredrik has written the modern guide on becoming successful, an audiobook that tells you how to recognize and cultivate your true talents and make the ultimate sell. From the importance of being your most authentic self to looking like a million bucks even if you don't have a million bucks (yet!), he shows how intangible factors like personality and charm can get you noticed and make you shine. He also shares his tips and tricks for preparing, persuading, and negotiating so that in any of life's dealings, you'll come out a winner. Members Reviews: Not a story about how to sell, but about his life The book was a very enjoyable listen, Fredrik was an excellent narrator. However, as the title describes the book, I got the impression that it would be a book on sales strategies he uses. While he shares some tips and tricks, the book is mostly filled with his own story and how amazing he himself is. Horrible This book was so bad I could not get past the first 20 minutes. No valuable information provided. Don't waste time or money. Very little practical advice about selling. The focus is on the author himself. Don't waste your money like I did. Ego Trip What was most disappointing about the authorss story? The author likes to tell you how great he is. Seemed like more of an ego trip for him. I didn't find the book particularly helpful and wouldn't recommend it. Sounds like Grover from Sesame Street Any additional comments? This guy's voice is very interesting to listen to, but it was a nice personal touch to be able to hear his voice. Book was very entertaining, maybe less informative than I would have liked, but motivating nonetheless.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1063 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: The get ready, get going guide to navigating career change and doing work you love! New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff has drawn millions of online fans who love his refreshing mix of humor, honesty, and wisdom about the world of work. Now he offers his most important audiobook yet, a guide to making big career changes - by choice or necessity - and escaping the horrible feeling of being trapped in the wrong job. Acuff finds it amazing that people spend more than 18 years studying and preparing for college but little or no time honing their careers between graduation and retirement. He offers an empowering tool he calls the Career Savings Account, which will change the way you think about your skills, relationships, character, and work ethic. He also shows that if you're on the wrong track, you already have what you need to change it - even if your family and mortgage mean you can't simply pick up and move for a new opportunity. Throughout the book, Acuff features inspiring and funny true stories - not merely his own but those of friends who restarted their careers after a layoff, an extended maternity leave, or simply the realization that they were suffering 50 weeks a year just to pay the bills and enjoy two weeks of vacation. Everyone can benefit from Do Over, from new graduates to 50-somethings and beyond. Members Reviews: Great book! I've become a big Jon Acuff fan and just listened to Do Over for the second time. It's timely - I graduate today with a Bachelor's degree at age 51. I look forward to the most recent "Do Over" in my life and I'll be referring to Acuff's book as I do. Jon is keeping me motivated I enjoy Acuff's books, he has a realistic and fun perspective on career life. I can't wait to read his books in 10 years, they are only getting better. Because he is a young writer, I often times feel as though I am in a similar stage as him. This helps me connect, but also helps me seek out guidance from "old timers" as well. Seeking wisdom from multiple counsellors is important. I will always seek wisdom from Acuff. Do Over at 47?! I have a job that I enjoy but feel stuck..missing the "meaning" and connection to it. I'm in the process of exploring other opportunities and didn't realize I was in the midst of a do over. Thank you John Acuff for giving me some tools to maneuver through this and for offering stories that make it okay to contemplate a do over at 47! Another must-read from Jon I was so excited to listen to Jon's new book! I loved "Quitter" and "Start" so I was so excited when he came out with "Do Over" Listening to him read it really helps convey his message too, he has so much great advice! Definitely check to out if you need to get unstuck :) His best book so far. What made the experience of listening to Do Over the most enjoyable? Jon has a nice delivery and interesting perspectives on core self-development concepts. This is a guy who was going through his own "do over" while writing this book, so it's fresh and real, not a revisionist version of something that happened long ago.

She has the knowledge you need to succeed. Lean in and listen close. What she has to say is what our spirits need to hear." (Martha Beck, author of Steering by Starlight) "The revolution youve been waiting for, it will shake up and wake up every aspect of your life. Danielle LaPorte offers soulful wisdom to create a blueprint for moguls, spiritual rock stars, and lovers of life. Skinny-dip headfirst into this hot and fabulous book. I dare you." (Kris Carr, author of Crazy Sexy Diet) "Danielles passion leaps off the page, and reading a few chapters of this book will ignite you into action. (Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project) Members Reviews: Loved idea but some of the "passion" was "cheesy" I really liked and agreed with a lot of what she said. Some of the ideas were dead-on. The problem for me was that it often felt a little forced. Some of her pseudo quirky asides were majorly annoying. I wanted to love all of it. I would have loved to give the concepts 4 stars but their execution a 3 1/2. It's like a Forever 21, or Wet Seal version of a cool outfit that you might see. It felt a little budget in places. She's a wise woman but it's just a little annoying to hear a little canadian girl say stuff like " mamma you treat yo' self real fine" and then say "about" in that canadian way that sounds like " a boot." I cringed too many times to count. It would be like Oprah doing a hip-hop review. Not quite what I wanted to hear. The ideas were pretty good and most of it was fine but those random " I think I'm so hip" moments were like fingernails on a blackboard for me. I would recommend it to a friend but warn her that it might be better to read it in paperback rather than listen to it. What's really funny about that is a friend told me about this same book but almost begrudgingly. She'd read it in paperback and while it sounded interesting, something about it made her almost not want to recommend it.

Title: Comfortable with Uncertainty Subtitle: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion Author: Pema Chödrön Narrator: Joanna Rotte Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: This audiobook by Pema Chödrön, the renowned American Buddhist nun, offers short, stand-alone sections designed to help us cultivate compassion and awareness amid the challenges of daily living. More than a collection of thoughts for the day, Comfortable with Uncertainty offers a progressive program of spiritual study, leading the listener through essential concepts, themes, and practices on the Buddhist path. Comfortable with Uncertainty does not assume prior knowledge of Buddhist thought or practice, making it a perfect introduction to Chödrön's teachings on lovingkindness, meditation, mindfulness, "nowness", letting go, and working with fear and other painful emotions. Through the course of this audiobook, listeners will learn practical methods for heightening awareness and overcoming habitual patterns that block compassion. Members Reviews: Grateful. Open. Appreciative. I highly encourage starting your day by reading just one of the chapter/teachings. A gift that keeps on giving throughout your day. Enjoy Highly recommended! Like a spiritual primer This book was plopped into my lap by a sage Buddhist friend after asking for reading suggestions. And what a treasure! I found myself intrigued, enthralled and amused. This is a fabulous way to start the journey. Highly recommended! Like a spiritual primer. Pema Chodron Pema Chodron is an American Buddhist Nun. Her writing style is straightforward, easy to follow, sometimes humorous, and often personal. The common thread in these short works is the universal experience of pain, addiction, broken hearts, death and questions that cannot be answered. Although her insights are drawn from her Buddhist beliefs and training, anyone who is willing, can find comfort in her wisdom. Her books are written in a style that encourages her readers to take what they want / need, and leave the rest. I am very grateful to Ms. Chodron for her books. They have brought me great comfort, and strength many times. I am certain that they will again. Best spiritual resource I've found in a long time! This little book deserves more than five stars. Pema Chodron is a wonderful presence in our postmodern world - she writes simply and beautifully, in a down-to-earth voice that conveys friendship and the compassion she teaches. This book is a collection of 102 brief passages from her previous books, perfect for those of us who like a daily devotional practice. The readings are chock full of wisdom and grace - Pema emphasizes self-compassion and patience with the process of mindful practice in a crazy world. I often give this book as a gift, because its so rich yet so easy to enjoy - each excerpt is only two pages, and is great for a quick daily dose of dharma. but still has enough content to satisfy most interested readers If you have a friend interested in Buddhist philosophy and meditation, this book is ideal. It has 108 short 1-3 page chapters, each on a different Buddhist topic. Very accessible and not too heavy, but still has enough content to satisfy most interested readers. Really like this text and recommend it to novices and experienced alike. Written by a very intriguing woman, Pema Chodron.

7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess Audiobook by Jen Hatmaker

Title: 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess Author: Jen Hatmaker Narrator: Rebecca Gallagher Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-12 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 429 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Do you feel trapped in the machine of excess? Jen Hatmaker was. Her friends were. And some might say that our culture is. Jen once considered herself unmotivated by the lure of prosperity, but upon being called "rich" by an undeniably poor child, evidence to the contrary mounted, and a social experiment turned spiritual journey was born. 7 is the true story of how Jen took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence. Food. Clothes. Spending. Media. Possessions. Waste. Stress. Jen and her family would spend 30 days on each topic, boiling it down to the number seven. Only eat seven foods, wear seven articles of clothing, and spend money in seven places. Eliminate use of seven media types, give away seven things each day for one month, adopt seven green habits, and observe "seven sacred pauses". So, what's the payoff from living a deeply reduced life? It's the discovery of a greatly increased God - a call toward Christlike simplicity and generosity that transcends a social experiment to become a radically better existence. 7 is funny, raw, and not a guilt trip in the making, so come along and consider what Jesus' version of rich, blessed, and generous might look like in your life. Members Reviews: Wish the author had narrated the book herself. If you could sum up 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess in three words, what would they be? Jen Hatmaker is an incredible speaker. I wish the author had narrated the book herself. This narration has mispronunciations in a few places that are ridiculous. If the author is an amazing, successful speaker, why on earth not have the author narrate themselves? What did you like best about this story? Made me rethink many things about the way we live. How did the narrator detract from the book? Mispronunciations. Her sarcasm is forced when the writer so clearly has an ease and comfort in her writing style. She's not Jen Hatmaker. What did you learn from 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess that you would use in your daily life? So many things it's impossible to write in this box. 10 Star book! I've heard Jen Hatmaker in person recently, and the narration captured her style to a "T". This book was incredibly thought-provoking as it untangled the tension around the idea of the excess we find ourselves swimming through daily. I will listen to this book again, if not many times. Great Book, Solid Narrator A couple weird pronunciation things (the word combine in reference to football pronounced comBINE instead of COMbine, for example), but otherwise an awesome book to listen to. I did not find this likable at all. When I first began this book, I was under the impression that it could help me managing my life like Moonwalking with Einstein, but, I sure did lose $15 throughout this novel because of that mistake. I understand I must constantly strengthen my faith in God, but this author tried to act so superior by doing it her way. The author was already immensely excessive even for an American, and but for gloating to become like a normal person is the reason I immensely disliked this diary. better than review say this is not a theology book, it's one woman's journey into sacrifice. I really appreciated this book and Jen's honesty.

So Much I Want to Tell You Audiobook by Anna Akana

Title: So Much I Want to Tell You Subtitle: Letters to My Little Sister Author: Anna Akana Narrator: Anna Akana Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 335 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: From Internet sensation Anna Akana comes a candid and poignant collection of essays about love, loss, and chasing adulthood. In 2007, Anna Akana lost her teen sister, Kristina, to suicide. In the months that followed, she realized that the one thing helping her process her grief and begin to heal was comedy. So she began making YouTube videos as a form of creative expression and as a way to connect with others. Ten years later, Anna has more than a million subscribers who watch her smart, honest vlogs on her YouTube channel. Her most popular videos, including "How to Put On Your Face" and "Why Girls Should Ask Guys Out", are comical and provocative, but they all share a deeper message: Your worth is determined by you and you alone. You must learn to love yourself. In So Much I Want to Tell You, Anna opens up about her own struggles with poor self-esteem and reveals both the highs and lows of coming of age. She offers fresh, funny, hard-won advice for young women on everything from self-care to money to sex, and she is refreshingly straightforward about the realities of dating, female friendship, and the hustle required to make your dreams come true. This is Anna's story, but, as she says, it belongs just as much to Kristina and to every other girl who must learn that growing up can be hard to do. Witty and real, Anna breaks things down in a way only a big sister can. Members Reviews: Some repetition of stories, but of great ones! Loved! Only suggestion is to trust that your audience mostly remembers the stories you already told throughout the book. Will read again =) great story! Recommended! I finished this book in less than a day. Some words brought me to tears, and some words will forever change the way I look at life. I recommend it emmensely! Brilliant What did you love best about So Much I Want to Tell You? I loved how intimate it was. It honestly felt like my older sister was giving me life advice. Any additional comments? I decided to finish this on my way to work, which caused me to walk in the door with obvious signs of crying. 10/10 will definitely recommend this book. 1/10 don't recommend listening to it when you have professional obligations. Definatly worth the read/listen. I have always enjoyed Anna's storytelling and raw honesty. This book is just that. She shares her experiences in a longer, more in-depth format. I was drawn to this book because of her video "Take your birth control." When I saw that video I was deeply moved by it and when I found out it was an excerpt from this book, I was in, and I was not let down. The kind of advice anyone can (and should) use Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I've been a fan of Anna Akana for... well, as long as I can remember. Straight-forward and witty, what's not to love? If you're a fan of Anna, you'll most likely enjoy the book. And if not, I'd recommend anyone to give this a try. It's like fresh air and only three-hours long, so why not? Who was your favorite character and why? Dick. Nah, it's Anna. Forget Dick. Have you listened to any of Anna Akanas other performances before? How does this one compare? Nope.

Maximize Your Potential Audiobook by Jocelyn K. Glei

Title: Maximize Your Potential Subtitle: Grow Your Expertise, Take Bold Risks & Build an Incredible Career Author: Jocelyn K. Glei Narrator: Nick Podehl, Kate Rudd Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 226 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: Weve entered an exhilarating new era of self-invention. With access to new resources, technologies, and connectivity, you no longer have to rely on traditional channels to craft an incredible career. But surviving and thriving in this new landscape requires a highly proactive approach. Maximize Your Potential will show you how to generate new opportunities, cultivate your creative expertise, build valuable relationships, and take bold, new risks so that you can utilize your talents to the fullest. Members Reviews: Like a collection of business magazine articles The book is a collection of essays grouped into four categories: opportunities, expertise, relationships, and risks. Since the essays are short, most lack examples and depth that would provide insights to the reader. For example, one essay states that in this age of flux, the most important skill is the ability to get new skills. Obviously, being a quick learner is a valuable trait to have. However, suggesting that you try more things, particularly outside of your usual experiences, is not very useful. Great commuting read This audiobook feels like a combination of really good blog posts and articles on self-improvement tips and tactics. Super for listening to on the way to work... provides decent tips and tricks to employ in your day to day. In some ways these short form articles, by a wide variety of contributing authors, is better than traditional business books, which often take a basic idea and expand it from its core into unnecessarily lengthy repetition. While there are smaller theses presented in each mini chapter, there are a wide variety of gems one can put to use. Can't wait to listen to it again! Any additional comments? There is just so much great information in this book, and the ease of listening to it while traveling makes it so convenient! I will definitely have to listen to this again. Maybe even read it myself to scratch down some notes. Either way, this is a great book. Fantastic this was like reading a dozen value packed books in one.. lots of great ideas that really resonated with me. giving me a lot to think about as I pursue a career in software development Rehash of all the platitudes you know and love Lots of quotes from overpaid gurus and news articles you've already read. Ok maybe if you're new in this space.

The Element Audiobook by Ken Robinson

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/321/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Element Subtitle: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything Author: Ken Robinson Narrator: Ken Robinson, Lou Aronica Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 01-29-09 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1437 votes Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration Publisher's Summary: The Element draws on the stories of a wide range of people: Paul McCartney; The Simpsons creator Matt Groening; Meg Ryan; Gillian Lynne, who choreographed the Broadway productions of Cats and The Phantom of the Opera; journalist Arianna Huffington; renowned physicist Richard Feynman; and many others, including business leaders and athletes. It explores the components of this new paradigm: the diversity of intelligence, the power of imagination and creativity, and the importance of commitment to our own capabilities. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. He shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that once we have found our path, we can help others do so as well. The Element shows the vital need to enhance creativity and innovation by thinking differently about human resources and imagination. It is an essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities to meet the challenges of living and succeeding in the 21st century. Critic Reviews: "Motivating and persuasive, this entertaining and inspiring book will appeal to a wide audience." (Publishers Weekly) "The Element offers life-altering insights about the discovery of your true best self." (Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) Members Reviews: Listening to Sir Ken Like many I was first exposed to Ken Robinson from this TED talk. The Element is another book that should be read by leaders and passed around to work groups. It covers much of the same ground as Tribes, or Marcus Buckingham's work on Finding Your Strengths (which I use extensively in my graduate consulting course), but Robinson superior style and engaging personality make his work both enjoyable and always edifying. Where Robinson is at his best is where he makes connections with how our education system impedes students from finding their passions. At the same time, I wished for a deeper dive into our education system (particularly post-secondary education), and for a specific critique (grounded in history and political economy) for how our schools can hinder creativity. You will come away from this book even more depressed about our manic focus on testing, and even more committed to enabling the passions in your colleagues and children. Not Great What disappointed you about The Element? The Element is anecdotal, a series of stories with the same outcome. If you want interesting tidbits about a wide variety of well-known people (Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, etc.) then you will enjoy this book. Unfortunately I expected some actionable items or thought-provoking ideas. About a third of the way through the book I grew tired of the stories and wanted more elaboration but there was very little forthcoming. A disappointment after watching and enjoying Robinson's TED talks. College professor lecture He explains that he was forced to write this book because of comment he made at a dinner engagement. That and his college professor comes out when he takes 3 chapters of good information and stretches it tediously out to create a book. He has about an hour of really fantastic information and ideas, and the rest is boring filler.

In Before Happiness, Shawn Achor provides simple, scientifically sound strategies built around three key factors most of us undervalue: where we choose to put our attention, how much social support we build into our lives, and whether we view stress as a challenge rather than a threat. --Tony Schwartz, best-selling author of The Power of Full Engagement and Be Excellent at AnythingRead this book before you buy any other self-improvement title. For anyone who wants to find more meaning, achievement, and joy in life, this is the single best place to start." -Tom Rath, Bestselling author of StrengthsFinder 2.0 and Eat Move Sleep From the Hardcover edition. Members Reviews: Worthwhile but no "Happiness Advantage" If you liked "The Happiness Advantage", you'll enjoy this book. It helps add more dimension to the happiness/positive-psychology picture, doesn't seem as complete or focused as THA. As expected, Achor does balances theory, research and technique quite well, but I found THA more engaging.
