Contents: Members Reviews: The Olde Cassettes I guess I should have known that a cassette program that came out over 20 years ago might have problems associated with it. I was excited to begin listening to one of my favorite speakers deliver a program released many years ago, but about 60 seconds into the program, I noticed his words became slower then resumed normal speed, then slowed down again. I can only assume that the years have not been kind to these cassettes, that some parts of the tape must have stretched a bit. I was told they were in good condition, and, I guess if you can handle the constant changes in tape speed and voice quality, then they are in good shape. In my opinion, they aren't in good shape and I regret having spent the money to purchase them.

Title: The Introverted Leader: Building on Your Quiet Strength Author: Jennifer Kahnweiler Narrator: Tiffany Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-18 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: "Finally, a book that recognizes the immense value that introverts bring to the workplace." - Daniel Pink, author of Drive and When A prevailing myth is that a big, vibrant personality is needed to succeed in the workplace, but often, the quietest people have the loudest minds. Unfortunately, in our extroverted business culture, introverts can feel excluded, overlooked, or misunderstood. Jennifer Kahnweiler shows that introversion is a source of strength. Just look at Arianna Huffington and Mark Zuckerberg, two introverts who have learned to be themselves and thrive in type-A work environments. This revised and expanded second edition draws on new research, interviews, and insights from thousands of introverted leaders, including fresh information on the unique challenges faced by introverted women; how leaders can shape a more inclusive, introvert-friendly workplace; the brains of introverts; and the correlation between introverted leadership and company performance. Kahnweiler lays out a well-tested, progressive four-step strategy called "The 4 Ps Process" for succeeding in the workplace by building on your natural quiet strengths. First, preparation: carefully devise a game plan for any potentially anxiety-provoking situation. Then, presence: knowing you're prepared, be completely focused on the present moment. Then, you can push - go beyond your comfort zone. And finally, practice, practice, practice. A newly revised quiz helps pinpoint where to amplify your quiet strengths and when to consider flexing your style. Kahnweiler shows exactly how to apply the 4 Ps in areas that can be particularly challenging for introverts - including networking, making presentations, and handling meetings. Aspiring leaders will be able to contribute more fully to their organization while staying true to themselves and serve as models and mentors to others as they move forward in their careers. Members Reviews: Glad that the author acknowledges the gifts introverts have to ... So insightful and spot on for many introvert tendencies. Glad that the author acknowledges the gifts introverts have to offer and how they can further tap into their genius. Keep Pushing! On the back cover it says, "In our extroverted business culture, introverts can feel excluded, overlooked, or misunderstood..." When I read that, I *knew* I had to read this book. It aptly described many of the experiences I've had in my professional career and in my personal life. The 4 P's Kahnweiler describes (Prepare, Presence, Push, Practice) seem so fundamental, you'll wonder why you didn't think of them on your own. However, in her book, she goes on to describe specific applications of the 4 P's (in meetings or when managing projects, for example) that help firmly cement the concepts so they are more than a logical abstraction. After reading this book, it was clear to me that I'd done a good job on the first two P's (Prepare and Presence), but I had become complacent. I wasn't really growing professionally or personally and had been wondering why. Now I knew: it was because I was afraid to step out of my comfort zone. Since then I've been concentrating on the "third P" by pushing myself in many new directions. For example, a HUGE "push" for me was that I recently took a series of Improv classes.

Four Seconds Audiobook by Peter Bregman

Title: Four Seconds Subtitle: All the Time You Need to Stop Counter-Productive Habits and Get the Results You Want Author: Peter Bregman Narrator: Chris Sorensen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-15 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 115 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Peter Bregman, author of the Wall Street Journal best-seller 18 Minutes, offers strategies to replace energy-wasting, counter-productive habits that commonly derail us with truly effective ones. The things we want most - peace of mind, fulfilling relationships, to do well at work - are surprisingly straightforward to realize. But too often our best efforts to attain them are built on destructive habits that sabotage us. In Four Seconds, Peter Bregman shows us how to replace negative patterns with energy boosting and productive behaviors. To thrive in our fast-paced world all it takes is to pause for as few as four seconds - the length of a deep breath - allowing us to make intentional and tactical choices that lead to better outcomes. Four Seconds reveals: Practical and insightful, Four Seconds provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress. Members Reviews: A wandering generality This audio book has much positive substance, but is (in my view) so thrown together in such a poor package as to be inferior to many other books you could better spend your time and money on, so I RECOMMEND YOU keep your powder dry on this one, and look elsewhere for better. Specifically, the problems I had with this book include... 1.) Misleading Title and description... The name and desciption of the book suggest it is focused on the particular topic of how you can better control your behavior and improve your life and relations by stopping yourself (for say, "four seconds") and (doing something). There is a chapter or two in the book on this, but the author then rambles, and on, flitting incoherently from one topic to the next. The rest of the book is... 2) Disorganized - This book presents a seemingly randomly presented collection of disjointed mini-lectures, with no overarching organizing structure to provide a coherent organizing principle or focus. 3.) Poor narrator / narration. The narrator is just terrible, with a voice like Tennessee Tuxedo, apparently capable of a grand total of ONE whiny inflection besides just reading out loud in a plain nasally voice. This alone makes the book a tough slog. 4.) Uneven - Another reviewer said this book is like a bunch of blog posts, and that's a fair description.

Title: Reframing Academic Leadership Subtitle: Jossey-Bass Higher and Adult Education Author: Lee G. Bolman, Joan V. Gallos Narrator: Kris Koscheski Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 08-20-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 36 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Colleges and universities constitute a special type of organization; and their complex mission, dynamics, personnel structures, and values require a distinct set of understandings and skills to lead and manage them well. In Reframing Academic Leadership, Lee G. Bolman and Joan V. Gallos offer higher education leaders a provocative and pragmatic guide for: Throughout the book, the authors integrate powerful conceptual frameworks with rich and compelling real-world cases to support academic leaders searching for the best in themselves and in their institutions. The book tackles thorny issues such as building institutional clarity and capacity, managing conflict, coping with difficult people, partnering with the boss, and developing leadership resilience. Following in the tradition of Bolman and Deals classic Reframing Organizations, Bolman and Gallos emphasize a pragmatic approach. They tease out the unique challenges and opportunities in academic leadership and provide ideas, tools, and encouragement to help higher education leaders see more clearly, feel more confident, and become more skilled and versatile in handling the vicissitudes of daily life. Reframing Academic Leadership is the resource for those seeking to understand, develop, and manage colleges and universities. Members Reviews: Comprehensive approach to academic leadership This book is a well threaded conversation of leaders' stories in the academic realm that challenges the reader to see academic leadership through quite different, but well complemented, and concomitantly reconciled perspectives or "frames." It covers many aspects of effective leadership applied to the unique and controversial academic setting, specifically in higher education. It Is both descriptive and prescriptive. It offers the reader a holistic view of academic leadership and prescribes from complex university politics to the simplicity of keeping hydrated. Also encourages the reader to deep self reflection on his/her own leadership style, challenges and growth opportunities. A great read. Helpful book for academic leadership What did you love best about Reframing Academic Leadership? The book provides case study examples to illustrate the principles at work. What did you like best about this story? Not applicable; this is non-fiction. What does Kris Koscheski bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The reader did a fine job, but again, as this is non-fiction, it is difficult to find the experience enhanced by the narration. Any additional comments? Because this is a non-fiction, how-to kind of leadership book, I will want to review the book in print form. It was very helpful for me to listen to it on my commute so that I could glean major principles and ideas. I'm sure for some learning styles, this will be optimal. But for me, it will be helpful to see this in print to get a visual mental imprint as well. thought provoking very insightful and informative. definitely a worth while read for any academic leader. gave me some useful perspectives on the unique application of leadership in an academic context.

I know you've probably heard these types of success stories before and are a little skeptical, but I'm telling you this is true and can really happen for you. Ten years ago, after my divorce, I needed to find a way to support myself. I was one of those individuals that never went to college or had a trade skill, so there weren't a lot of job choices for me. What was I to do? I started looking into entry level jobs that didn't require specialized training or skills. Unfortunately, I wasn't keen on the idea of working at a fast food restaurant for minimum wage with limited potential for advancement or better pay. Then I learned about house cleaning from a friend of mine. She used house cleaning as a way to supplement their family income. However, I realized the potential to grow this into something more. So I started taking on a few residential cleaning jobs, getting my name out there and increasing my client list. I took the time to do some research and found a way to offer some specialized services that got me paid a little extra. Before I knew it, my client list was growing beyond what I could do by myself. So I started hiring employees. Then I realized the importance of branching out and started to take on commercial contracts. Commercial cleaning turned out to be even more beneficial to my income than residential cleaning. Not only was I able to support myself with this work, but I was able to grow and thrive. Today, I have a company of my own with 22 employees. We take on both residential and commercial cleaning contracts. My income has grown to over $250,000 a year now. I never dreamed a simple job to help pay the bills would grow into this, but it has. It takes a little bit of work, but the benefits are there to be had i Members Reviews: An Excellent How-To Guide Are you struggling to make ends meet in a dead-end job with no room for professional growth? Have you always dreamed of putting your excellent work ethic to use by starting your very own cleaning business, but donât know where to start? Then look no further, because Maria Carmen is ready to share her ten years of experience in the cleaning industry with you. Carmenâs hopes in writing this book are that it will show you how to achieve the financial freedom and independence youâve been yearning for. After a devastating divorce, Carmen needed to find a way to support herself, and fast. Never having gone to college and with no trade skills to speak of, the depressing idea of working in a fast-food restaurant seemed to be looming closer everyday. Then a friend of Carmenâs told her about house cleaning, and Carmen decided to give it a try. Within no time, she began to quickly gain repeat clients and her reputation as an excellent cleaner spread. Before she knew it, she was so overwhelmed with business that she had to hire employees. Today, Carmen owns her own cleaning company with twenty-two employees. Not only has she been supporting herself through her cleaning business, but the confidence she has gained from learning how to be a successful entrepreneur has been invaluable.

Title: The Little Green Book of Getting Your Way Subtitle: How to Sell Your Point of View to Others Author: Jeffrey Gitomer Narrator: Jeffrey Gitomer Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-09 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Because persuasion occurs in so many different areas of life and business, Gitomer leads the listener from mental readiness to the principles of getting your way and the power that persuasion offers. He challenges the listener to prepare before they present, to prepare before they try to persuade. He demonstrates how to change a presentation into a performance and shows how this can be done in any environment. But because persuasion most often takes place in business, he draws special emphasis to the reader's ability to write and sell persuasively. The book talks about the persistence that enables winning persuasion.He brings the Benjamin Franklin quote "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" to the Gitomer level of "You only fail when you decide to quit," and the book ends challenging the listener with how to think about excellence and eloquence. It will be up to the listener to take advantage of the opportunity and harness the power. Members Reviews: Too similar to the info in the Sales Bible!! Would you try another book from Jeffrey Gitomer and/or Jeffrey Gitomer? I would try another book from Jeffery , but I would research the hard back copy before buying it on audible. What could Jeffrey Gitomer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Made it more original. To much of the sales bible in the book. Jeffery is very talented ,however some of his books share a lot of the same content. By the same I mean word for word you read one you read the other. A real let down when your looking to expand your knowledge. it's okay the book was okay but chances are if you're already doing any type of marketing or as they say trying to get your way you would notice that he's mentioning a lot of things that you're already doing

There is no other book like this that actually arms you with all of the information that you need to launch a new food item.

The reading of the material is clear and exciting. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? If you want to create a new food item, this is the best book that I have read. I am culinary trained and this book puts everything neatly in next steps and best practices. Refers to ebook constantly but doesn't come with!

Title: The Delusion of Passion Subtitle: Why Millennials Struggle to Find Success Author: David Anderson, Mark Nathan Narrator: Mark Nathan Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-16 Publisher: Millennial Strong Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: In our culture, there is a premium placed on finding our passion, as though somehow once we've found it, our lives will finally start to come together as we've always imagined. We've held onto these beliefs about passion and have made daily and even life-changing decisions based on the principle of following our passion. Is passion important in living a fulfilled life? Absolutely. But as the famous adage goes, it's not the things that you don't know that hurt you, it's the things you think are true that aren't that really mess you up. Unfortunately, there are a number of beliefs we have about trying to find our passion that are creating more questions, frustrations and confusion in our lives. Of course, something in these beliefs must be true (or they wouldn't resonate with us so strongly), but how do we separate fact from delusion? Instead of hoping to find a life of passion, how do we create a life we are passionate about living? The Delusion of Passion: Why Millennials Struggle to Find Success was written to clarify truth from delusion in our commonly held beliefs about passion, and to put people in the driver's seat, creating a life they are passionate about living. Members Reviews: WOW! Great book for anyone at any age. this book helps with motivation & thought process must read book this was definitely what i needed to hear at this stage of life as I have sure struggled to find what I was passionate about in life, it turned to be right infront of me. it is so true words can change you and in strong ways.

Grammar Smart Audiobook by Julian Fleisher

Title: Grammar Smart Subtitle: An Audio Guide to Perfect Usage Author: Julian Fleisher Narrator: Julian Fleisher Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 02-15-02 Publisher: The Princeton Review Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 147 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: So don't make the mistake of thinking that grammar is too complicated or boring for anyone but linguists and nerds. We all use grammar, but many of us could use it better. We've created Grammar Smart, a witty, irreverent, and entertaining approach to grammar to help you write and speak with clarity and confidence. Grammar Smart will teach you how to choose between "that" and "which," decide when to use "like" instead of "as," and know for sure if it's "between you and I" or "between you and me." This program includes: Members Reviews: Grating at times but useful I found this to be painful to listen to, but if you can make it past the unfunny banter, I think you will improve and become more confident with grammar. I purchased this as part of my GMAT prep and feel like this program helped a great deal. It's pretty basic stuff that I feel like I learned in school but had since forgotten. Some of you smarties might not find it useful. Great for those of us who went to public schools! :) Good rules, annoying presentation First, I would strongly recommend that Audible get more of these grammar books...there are just too few to choose from. That said, this is unfortunately one of the best choices here. The good: The rules are great. You will learn about a ton of mistakes that you make on a daily basis and will come away with some great new fixes. Very helpful for test prep, as I prepare for my GMATs. The bad: The presenters are probably the two most annoying people ever. Some moron at the Princeton Review probably thought these people and this kind of presentation would stick. If you hate Monty Python (like I do) you will hate the presenters and the humor on this listen. It only makes it harder to listen to. Instead of using simple examples to illustrate their point, they use really annoying examples with stupid, made up words sometimes to make a point. The "news reports" in between are abominable and hard to follow. Hopefully they fired the two geeks doing the dialog as well as the schmucks who wrote the dialog and replaced them with easier to follow examples and more professional people. I hope that Audible adds more grammar books and considers using similar products from companies like Kaplan or Verbal Advantage who tend to do things much more seriously and professionally. Until then, this is about the best we got...or have :). Will need your full attention The content of this book is good. I listened to this book while driving back and forth between work and home. It turned out to be a hassle listening to this, as I found myself rewinding very often. It needs all your attention. I'd recommend listening to this while NOT driving. One thing I'd really like to see in this book is, more gap between sentences - pausing a couple of seconds between complex sentences will let me digest the concept better. Over all I think this book turned out to be an useful one and I will be listen to it one more time to make sure that I remember everything. Grammar Refresher Course Well laid out and easy to follow format allows for frequent review of covered topics. At the end of each module, they incorporate the subjects into a mock radio news report to reinforce your understanding of the lesson.

With Fred 2.0, Mark not only revisits the original Fred to gain new insights, but also equips all of us with new strategies to achieve more. Youll not only be inspired by Fred 2.0, youll also have the tools and strategies to aim higher and achieve the extraordinary. Members Reviews: Great Book! This was a very practical book about how to implement the Fred principles in your life,business, or organization. I would highly recommend for anyone to read it who is interested in their improving customer service. Excellent extension of The Fred Factor Would you listen to Fred 2.0 again? Why? I would listen to it again. I selected this to see if I should recommend it instead of The Fred Factor. This is definitely a great sequel. But people still need to read the first Fred book before getting this one.

How to Wow Audiobook by Frances Cole Jones

Title: How to Wow Subtitle: Presenting Your Ideas, Persuading Your Audience, and Perfecting Your Image Author: Frances Cole Jones Narrator: Frances Cole Jones Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-08 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: From prominent communication coach Frances Cole Jones comes this indispensable guide in which anyone can learn how to make a spectacular impression in all aspects of their work life - from giving top-notch presentations to dazzling a client to wowing at cocktail parties. It's the go-to handbook for achieving success by making a lasting impression. ©2008 Frances Cole Jones; (P)2008 Random House Audio Members Reviews: How to snore I found this audio book terribly boring. The author instructs you to obsess over so many minute details that you would almost certainly die of a coronary if you followed each of them. A more accurate title for this book would be "How to obsess over EVERY possible detail when speaking, presenting and interviewing until you have nervous breakdown". I was constantly wishing she would move on, move on, please move on...but she just kept describing each grain of sand over and over again. As with any book, you are bound to find some useful information, which I certainly did in this one. It's just the fact that you have to endure a painful amount of minutia before getting to anything noteworthy. Once you do, you'll be so bored stiff that you wont care. I have to give it to her though, I was wowed in the end. I thought wow, I can't believe I bought this, and wow, I can't believe I listened to the entire thing. I guess I wanted my money's worth. This is my first written review after 20 plus good books on Audible. I just felt compelled to warn others after taking one for the team. Concise, Simple, Very Useful. Valuable information for any reader looking to improve their communication skills. Highly recommended for those in the business of conveying ideas and creating influence. good guide to communicating effectively What I like about this book is that it covers so many aspects of self presentation. Even if all the ideas don't suit everyone I think there is enough substance to allow for adaption and personal interpretation. I think the idea of colour as a tool for connecting is interesting and gives food for thought. I'm a lecturer and doing my best to inspire students is of critical importance. I've read several books on public speaking and I rate this as one of the best. In contemporary life getting on so often involves positive self projection that learning all you can about it is definitely worthwhile. This book is a good all round read.

Mastering the Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense Audiobook by Suzette Haden Elgin

Title: Mastering the Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense Author: Suzette Haden Elgin Narrator: Suzette Haden Elgin Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-99 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 73 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Is verbal abuse ruining your business, your personal life, or even your physical and emotional health? With a little help from Suzette Haden Elgin, you won't have to put up with it anymore. She'll show you how to create an environment in which verbal abuse almost never happens, and how to take complete control of your language behavior. Once you've mastered the techniques, you'll be able to defuse a verbal attack before it can even be completed, and deal effectively with the rare attack that cannot be avoided. You'll never be at a loss for words again. (P)1995 by Dove Audio, Inc. Members Reviews: Disappointingly Executed on Audible I have the paper based version of this book, so I was naturally thrilled to see it on Audible. Yet I was disappointed in the sample and then to read it is available in Format 1 quality only. Dr. Elgin wrote an excellent book that I have found extremely useful in dealing with people. Another reviewer said SEEING what was said was not effective--he missed the point. You have to match the perspective of the person you're talking to in order to help them understand you. Moreover, that is only the basics of the book, which then goes into how to parse (or dissect) the statements people make and then use specific techniques to prevent yourself from taking the bait and falling victim to verbal abuse. One favorite of mine is when someone baits you into an argument and you can ask them a simple question that not only ignores the bait, but places them and everyone around you on notice that you will not be abused in such a way. And a welcome side-effect is to take the agressive assertions they make away from them while //placing them on the defensive.// This book is well worth your time, but I am disappointed that the audio quality is so low. My recommendation is to buy it in the bookstore or check it out at the library if you can find it (it's been out of print for several years now.) Otherwise, this might be the only place you can get it. Either way, it is a very worthwhile read. Great Information This book has very valuable information about dealing with people--especially those that are attacking you. Sound quality isn't that great, but it's a lot better than a poor book with great sound quality. Verbal Defense? What made the experience of listening to Mastering the Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense the most enjoyable? Nothing! Its a fantastic book, but the audio is terrible. Sounds like it was recorded in an empty room with a cheap mike on a tape deck. Really prehistoric audio quality and sound level. BUT THE BOOK. Great book. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Suzette Haden Elgin? Anyone louder. good topic to talk about professionally This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? every one who seeks to live peacefully in our crazy world ! Would you be willing to try another one of Suzette Haden Elgins performances? NO ! You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? just the subject Any additional comments? YES, GET A PROFESSIONAL NARRATOR ! linguistics applied First impression- audio quality is terrible, simply unacceptable. Others have mentioned this before, I didn't care so much but it is so bad sometimes I have to rewind just to acoustically understand what the author is saying.

Rendall Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 11-18-16 Publisher: Advantage Media Group Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Unleash your inner freak and discover your unique potential. Think of the thing that makes you strange - the weakness that you won't admit during a job interview or performance evaluation. Well, have you ever thought that the foundation of your success might be found in that weakness? Are you embracing your inner freak, or are you hiding it in order to conform and maintain the status quo? David Rendall believes that amplifying your weaknesses is crucial for your success, and he encourages you to do the same. In The Freak Factor, David argues that what makes you weird also makes you exceptional and what makes you weak also makes you strong. Embrace your freak factor, and discover: Members Reviews: For the Freak in all of us! I love this book! The very concept was appealing but then to get into it and see the practical applications of the key thought - unbelievable! I see myself differently after reading this, I have developed a comfort in the things that are different about me. Before I definitely played those "freak factors" down and after reading this book - I FLAUNT them! Anyone who wants to carefully challenge what you believe about yourself or others should read this book. Play to your strengths I embrace the author's concepts, but they were not new to me. The book is well organized but it could benefit from additional editing. Occasionally I found myself distracted by improper grammar. I suspect the author's speaking style is more engaging than his writing style, and that the book would be better appreciated by someone who had had the opportunity to listen to one of his presentations. Packed with real life stories and examples Loved all the real life stories and examples of people focusing on strengths and flaunting weaknesses! The ideas of amplifying strengths and finding the right fit are transformational concepts for anyone's career or life. Thanks David for a freaky good book. Brent O'Bannon - Gallup Certified Strengths Coach Great advice, entertaining delivery Be yourself. Even if it's weird, quirky or unorthodox. The message of this book is simple, but its implications are profound--the greatest way to achieve success is to do more of what you are already doing--even the things that might make other people think you are a "freak." The author employs a variety of real-world examples, quizzes and stories to illustrate his points and help his readers "freak out," the effect of which is both practical and inspirational. Great advice packaged in an entertaining read. 5 stars. Be a Freak! Be YOU! The Freak Factor is an insightful, hilarious, and thought-provoking read. This book promises to set you free to be YOU! So often we take ourselves so seriously and spend many hours working on strengthening our weaknesses, this book has completely changed my mindset on this. They make me who I am and I am grateful for that, but here's the great news... every weakness has a corresponding strength! Thank you for this perspective! I am a happy Freak! Add this book to your library, it is an excellent reference book as well.

Members Reviews: Eh... not what I was expecting. This book was good, but not really what I was expecting. I can present in front of small groups, but have terrible public speaking anxiety. I'm now at the level where it will be a major limiting factor in my career advancement. The title made me think that this would be a book about public speaking, where in reality it was more of a business communications 101. There were definitely some interesting points, but I feel this book would be best for someone who is interested in improving their overall communication style or are early in their career. Would listen again What did you love best about Smart Talk? Very useful information. Who was your favorite character and why? The author is very engaging. Which scene was your favorite? Not sure. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? This would not make a good film. Any additional comments? A little longer than needed. But definitely a good read for people working in the business world. Just not what I expected The content is good. The delivery good Author is smart. I just thought I was going to learn more about communication styles and delivery and wasn't prepared for a sort of marketing 101 guide. It doesn't hurt to hear this information again. But not was I looked forward to Great Tips for a Successful Life! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Lisa packs a lot of information into one audio book. Have a pen and paper handy and prepare to write down things you should have learned years ago! :-) Which scene was your favorite? I think the most helpful chapter was about how to deal with difficult conversations. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I couldn't stop listening. As if I have a personal Public Speaking Coach! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Lisa acts very personal in the book, making it feels like I have hired my personal coach. What was one of the most memorable moments of Smart Talk? She shares a lot of her experiences for us to learn. So the book is memorable through out. What does Lisa B.

The Stuff the Best Land Agents Do Audiobook by Pat Porter

Author: Pat Porter Narrator: Pat Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 26 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-16 Publisher: RecLand Realty Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Are you a real estate agent? Planning to get your license in real estate? If so, you can benefit from this book. Pat Porter simply and concisely outlines the seven common traits of the best land agents he knows. Even if you're a residential or commercial realtor, these seven traits easily cross over into every area of real estate listing and selling so you'll see how you can improve, too. It's a short book. The points are straight forward and pierce right to the core issues of what separates the leaders from the mediocre pack. The examples you'll hear are plain and come from the experiences of the broker and agents who've sold thousands of acres of land throughout the south and portions of the Midwest. You can also hear more practical information related to Pat's land business by watching some of the videos at our video blog at http://www.reclandtalks.com. You will see that we are hands on land and outdoors people. We try hard to practice what we preach. Members Reviews: A quick and effective guide No matter if you are an agent or are planning on getting your license sometime soon, this book has some great insight on how to sell land like the best land agents out there. Pat Porter a broker for one of the leading land brokerages in the southeast, discusses the seven characteristics thatâs common to almost every listing and sell. While this book is short, it packs a lot of information into only a few pages. Mr. Porter also shows how to separate yourself from the rest of the real estate agents out there with real life examples from the parcels of land heâs sold all over the south. I appreciated the conciseness of guideâitâs clear and easy to follow. Plus. it offers encouragement to anyone who is considering getting into land sales which, as a Realtor I will say iis much more rewarding and enjoyable than home sales. Great Book: Essential read for learning the right skills, characteristics, and traits of a successful land agent or novice. This is a no-nonsense book that is centralized on the right type of characteristics and values that the most successful land agents embody. If you are a sole proprietor, land agent, or novice to selling land I recommend reading this book. The author provides the reader with realistic expectations, true success stories, and examples of how to successfully sell land. These same characteristics, well practiced skills, and traits help define who the agent/seller is by their actions. In turn, this can lead not only to one successful sale but can be a multiplier for repeat customers, repeat sales, and a lasting reputation. This book hits all the right target areas and keeps the reader moving page by page. I honestly can say that the authors straight forward approach makes reading this book a great experience.

It extensively reviews the points of view of the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world, as well as Israel, the Palestinians, and others in the Middle East. This reasoned approach takes no sides, supports no party, but works to identify the truth and significance of each party's point of view. This new landmark audiobook is well worth listening to in order to acquire a dispassionate, reasoned perspective on this long-standing, seemingly immutable conflict, as well as a learning process to help you resolve conflicts in your own work and life. Members Reviews: What a waste of time and money! This "book" contains no actual fact, data or analysis. Seems to be no more than a poorly veiled infomercial for some guy's mediation services.

Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-16 Publisher: Magic Lamp Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: How Not to Practice Law is the the perfect book and should be required listening for any law student, or new lawyer going out on his or her own, or with a law firm or government agency, especially before making a first appearance in any court of law - whether civil or criminal. It separates what really goes on in the practice of law in real life from what is seen on the numerous popular law-oriented shows on television. The 'do" and "don't do" information in this book is rarely found in any law school textbooks or classrooms and must be learned either with this book, or the hard way, by painful and embarrassing experiences that you should definitely want to avoid, because they can seriously affect your client's case, and you image in front of the trier of facts. The material in this book was compiled by a combination of many interviews with experienced judges, trial lawyers, law firm partners, former jurors, and the author's years of experience working as a bail bondsman, law clerk with the District Attorney's office, being a trial lawyer for 20 years, and from working with numerous attorneys and teaching courses at a small private law school where he was an acting Dean and teacher of Legal Writing courses for students preparing for a State Bar Examination. The main object of this book is to assist its listeners to avoid situations that may be used as negative examples in future updated editions of this book.

Rothman Narrator: Lauren A. Rothman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 03-03-14 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: First impressions (and second ones!) count, whether you are an intern or a CEO. Lauren A. Rothman addresses an age-old dilemma: How to be appropriate and stylish in the workplace. Based on a decade of experience in the fashion industry, she addresses the basics of fashion and executive presence by offering advice, anecdotes, and style alerts that help listeners avoid major fashion faux pas at the office. Style Bible: What to Wear to Work is the must-have resource for the modern professional, male or female, climbing the ladder of success. Lauren identifies the ultimate wardrobe essentials, and reveals shopping strategies and destinations for the everyday person. Style Bible is the go-to manual on how to dress for every professional occasion and a valuable resource for understanding dress codes by industry, city, and gender so that your visual cues will make a strong impact. Make a commitment to being better dressed at work with Style Bible. Critic Reviews: Journalists by definition are not supposed to be respectable, but, now that most of us are also on TV, we have to be at least presentable. With wit and good writing, Lauren Rothman calmly, sensibly and authoritatively shows us (and you) how. (Howard Fineman, Huffington Post editorial director and NBC News analyst) Members Reviews: Very disappointed! When you buy a book on style, you expect to see photos of examples, not just text descriptions. I purchased this book expecting a fresh update on the old standby "Dress for Success", and quite frankly, I could have saved my money. The only point-on information were the descriptions of what to wear for an interview, based upon industry standards and one-offs. Disappointing, at best. A Life Changer Lauren's style tips are a life changer. Why make things harder than they need to be? I've been using Lauren's fashion advice and it has made a world of difference in how I feel when I walk into meetings in a male dominated industry. I carry that confidence with me to my after work get togethers and on business trips. What I love about this book's advice is it doesn't take a lot of money to achieve a "dress for success" look. Thank you Lauren, you are a gift to women in the workforce. Wonderful book!! This is a fabulous book that anyone would benefit from. It includes great ideas for looking one's best. It prompted me to "shop my closet" and I know I'll make better clothing purchases going forward. I'm buying several copies as holiday gifts, knowing the recipients will be grateful to the author, as I am! Must read for anyone in the corporate world! This is a great book that will help anyone navigate the secret dress code of the corporate world. I mentor quite a few women at my place of work & often it is not their lack of education or experience that keeps them from being promoted. This book gets the message across in an impersonal way to make a change that can only benefit it's readers. Great College Graduation Present Great for new college grads.

Luntz not only clearly lays out the characteristics of a winner though engaging stories, but he also gives practical advice to help winners reach their goals. What a book!!! As an Amway IBO on the LTD team, I was able to experience Frank Luntz first hand at the event he discussed in this book! His incredible ability to engage the audience was what drew me to his book. If you are looking for the keys to success this book is your destination!!! I finished this audiobook in a week, driving to and from work through traffic. Not only did it put me in a bubble of positive thinking among the sharks on the freeway. It also gave me a concrete path to follow! Thank Frank! Nothing new but I am sure it could work Not a bad book, but nothing special. Frank Luntz politics comes through which isn't welcome but nothing radical. He does not really add anything new except a few insights to what is actually important to the public which does not match what business or politicians think. Of course follow all the good attributes and you should reach the top and be a good person at it. Who knows, it is all speculations and at the end of the day I suppose follow his ideas can't hurt too much. not the smash hit i hoped for Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? not really i rather recommend Goals by Brian Tracy .

Answered all the questions I had, and some I hadnt thought to ask When youre in a situation for a long time with someone above you causing issues for you, you start to lose perspective on what should be ok and what shouldnt. Book is very down to earth, offers a lot of good advice and legal information, and lays out the realities of taking action too, but it was unbelievably helpful to listen to this book. It gives me a starting off point to figure out what to do about it, and how to do it. Thank you, seriously. First type of read This was my first type of read towards this topic I would have to say that it was pretty logical and its description of a short-term maybe even midterm approach to counter a bullying boss, but very very logical in my opinion. Would recommend it Great advice This book provided sound advice and a sense of direction to dealing workplace harassment. It gave multiple options so you can choose the best way(s) to handle your unique situation. necessary if u are being bullied. great! this book is necessary for anyone going through workplace bullying. it is redemption after being dismissed so long

With his unique vocal workout approach, professional voice trainer Jeffrey Jacobi will help you to speak with strength and power - even over long periods of time. Copyright © and (P)1996 by Dove Audio, Inc. Members Reviews: A good start. The book is a good start for those who wants to improve not only their pronounciation but also the flow and intonation of a speech. There are practices session which can be done even during your drive to work. One thing to note is that in order to improve, it needs a lot of practice. I believe the book is a bit short and does not explain why do we practice in low to high and high to low pitch. It would be beneficial since then the we can identify and detect what areas are we practicing to improve. I'm relating to the last portion of the book on the exercises. One more thing, I made the mistake of not recording my voice before starting the program so i had no reference to compare if i made improvements or not, so please record so you will have a benchmark or your progress. Only onc complaint This book is great except for the timing. It is a listen and repeat book, meaning you hear it then repeat. Easy to understand, in fact so easy you don't need them to say, "Repeat" after every single example. This makes the exercises take a little longer than needed. Also, sometimes it rushes you, not quite giving you enough time to actually repeat the sentence before the next one begins. This could be me, but I don't think so. It only seems to happen in a few spots. That aside it is full of sound advice and exercises that work. Best if you have an accent The exercises are good, if slightly over-repeated, and the advice is sound. However, over half of the book is dedicated to overcoming regional accents. If you already have a "midwest" accent, as I do, then you'll be bored (and perhaps annoyed) during lengthy sessions on how not to drop R's, correct slow Southern-based speech patterns, and not say "axe" for "ask". Wonderful !!!!!!!!! This is the best voice trainer program I have ever used!!! You will learn how to speak correctly, and breath properly. I love it. This program also includes a session dedicated to voice exercises: I do the exercises everyday in my car on my way to work. a pretty darn slow listen if you don't have a regional accent, like dropping r's or d's or t's, then skip to the exercises that are about halfway in. it gets pretty tiring when you hear him say "repeat" over and over and over again. i wasn't pleased with the sound of the speakers voice either, maybe he has cotton in his mouth? my voice is high pitched, and i was hoping for something to increase the range so that i can learn to speak in lower tones, but the humming exercises just don't do it for me, and i still practice them anyways? so far nada, still hoping though.

Title: Authentic Conversations Subtitle: Moving from Manipulation to Truth and Commitment Author: Jamie Showkeir, Maren Showkeir Narrator: Donna Renee Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-13-12 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Authentic Conversations explores everyday workplace conversations and shows their power in transforming organizations and driving organizational performance. Traditional workplace conversations - which are based on a parent-child model - stymie growth and erode commitment. The Showkeirs advocate instead authentic conversations that are based on an adult-adult model. These conversations tell the truth, let go of the illusion of control, and view people as in charge of their own motivation. The result is a conversation revolution that creates greater commitment, real accountability for results, and improved organizational performance. Members Reviews: Great book for learning mindful communication this book is really great for learning mindful communication at work and for every day. I like that it also gave examples of how to change your words to make a better conversation. I think everyone should read/listen to this book. I will highly recommend this book to all my friends, family and co-workers. Excellent So many excellent suggestions, comments and ideas for any business and to assist with personal growth!

Author: Cherise Kelley Narrator: Rebecca Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 08-07-13 Publisher: Size 12 By St Patrick's Day Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: "You're a high school substitute? Are you crazy? We were so mean to them!" This is a common reaction when I tell people what I do, but I love substitute teaching at the high school level. I started substitute teaching in 1989, fresh out of college. I was looking for a way to support myself while I took my "fifth year" of college in secondary education classes and did my student teaching. A friend told me, "You have a bachelor's degree, so you can be a substitute." In writing this book, I hope to be as good a friend for you as he was for me. This book explains not only how to get a high school substitute teaching job, but also how to do the job so well that it will be rewarding in and of itself. If you know a college graduate who is out of a job, tell them about this book. It might help them support themselves in the meantime. Being an excellent substitute can also open the door to a regular full-time teaching position. Up until the advent of the Internet, most books for substitute teachers consisted largely of worksheets the substitute could photocopy and hand out to students, in the event the regular teacher hadn't left enough work to fill the whole class period. Today, you can instantly find and project one of a million free Internet worksheets. Heck, 99% of today's high school students have phones capable of finding these worksheets. You won't find worksheets in this book. High school students are too smart to do a substitute's ungraded busy work anyway. Today's high school students crave human interaction. I've seen them get more excited about a classroom discussion than about watching a movie. Times have changed, and I have remained a successful high school substitute teacher by embracing the changing times. Give my book a read and let me show you how to be a good high school substitute teacher who enjoys the job. Members Reviews: only really useful in the USA unfortunately. not at all what I expected. I'll be returning this one if I can work out how to do it.

It was a great book, but needs a PDF file for the programs. I didn't like how the programs were read. I ended up skipping ahead through the programs. I did enjoy the book other than that. Was Programming worth the listening time? Yes. I'm glad I listened to it. Too short
k was Expecting more information from the book it was too short and nothing stuck with me. Basic information the book offers really basic information about the main programming languages, which is great but the reading of code is really hard to understand and keep up with.

Handling Difficult People Audiobook by Deaver Brown

Title: Handling Difficult People Author: Deaver Brown Narrator: Deaver Brown Format: Unabridged Length: 58 mins Language: English Release date: 04-19-07 Publisher: Simply Media Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: The book identifies one truly difficult type, the attacker, and three easier types to deal with types: the complainer, the know it all, and ineffectives. The author states that dealing with attackers is unproductive - not to mention being disturbing and upsetting. The most effective approach is to contain the attacker and seek to exit from the relationship as quickly as possible. The others can be handled effectively, and the author sets out strategies and tactics to do so, emphasizing that handling these people works best if you have the end in mind. What do you want to accomplish and what can you accomplish? Sometimes, you simply must deal with them, as family members or bosses at work; often, you can maneuver them out of your life. The author identifies fives areas you meet these people, and how you can handle them accordingly: family, friendships, professional encounters, business or work, and in the community. Members Reviews: Worth about what you paid for it. I have enjoyed a couple of the other Deaver Brown selections, but this isn't really one of them. The entire hour of Mr. Brown can be summed up with, "it's not really worth it to fight with people." Okay, that's great, but now what? I'd have to recommend a pass on this selection. Disappointing There are no real strategies identified in this book. It is more like a sport coach's pep talk ie: " Stay back, duck etc" He also tends to wander off topic and uses too many analogs for solutions instead of actual communication tools. Needs more examples Some good strategies but it really needs examples and scenarios on how they can be applied.

Subtitle: Sharpen Your Message and Make Your Words Matter Author: Joel Schwartzberg Narrator: Jeff Hoyt Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. A point is something more. It's a contention you can propose, argue, defend, illustrate, and prove. A point offers a position of potential value. "Global warming is real" is not a point. "Scientific evidence shows that global warming is a real, human-generated problem that will have a devastating environmental and financial impact" is a point. When we have a point, our influence snaps into place. We communicate belief, conviction, and urgency. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points. Members Reviews: Does what it says on the box! As a person with an ever growing list of "must read" books, this book rose to the top of the list as a "listen to this first". This book is packed with practical and powerful tips, techniques and strategies to make and communicate your point like a pro. One of the best books I've listened to this year. I'm now ordering a few copies to give to my team.

Members Reviews: Disappointing My fault -- I didn't read the reviews before purchasing and didn't realize that it was abridged. A shame, too, since I really like the book and thought listening to it in the car would help me remember key concepts. Hey audible -- any change of getting an unabridged version? Brutally abridged There are 19 chapters in the book. After chapter 3, I had listened to 50% of the recording. If you need the material, get the book. Unorganized Blabber I have been and read a much about effective consulting and generally pleased. But, listening to this was a waste of time. Its the poorly organized ranting with no valuable take-aways. so so... what the book did was to give me another view of consulting from a reputable source. while i thought the book was well organized, it did not have anything special to take home after reading it. perhaps my expectation was too high.... Boring This was very dry and boring.

Title: Unnatural Talent Subtitle: Creating, Printing and Selling Your Comic in the Digital Age Author: Jason Brubaker Narrator: Jason Brubaker Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-15 Publisher: Jason Brubaker Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: The journey from being a "no-name" artist to finding your voice in the world of comics has always been a mystery - especially in the Internet age. While the publishing industry struggles to adapt to the rapidly changing digital world, independent artists now have the ability to build a successful and lucrative brand completely on their own with a little hard work and some Internet savvy. Now there's nothing stopping you from getting your book in front of thousands or even millions of people. Suddenly you can't blame anyone for not giving you a chance. You can only blame yourself for not trying. So roll up your sleeves, sharpen your pencils and fire up your Internet because we are about to make and sell comics! Jason Brubaker's graphic novel reMIND raised over $175,000 in pre-order sales on Kickstarter, won the Xeric Award, and made ALA's Great Graphic Novels for Teens List. This book is a collection of his thoughts, strategies, and practical lessons developed during his experience writing, drawing, and self-publishing reMIND. Members Reviews: Thank you Jason Brubaker. I've just finished "unnatural Talent" and it is filled with all the information I've been searching for to become a "successful"artist. And when I say "successful", I don't mean the art aspect of artist, I mean the business side of being an artist. Generating income streams! For so long, I've been stuck doing jobs I hate, so I can pay the mortgage and feed my family. After this review, I'm going to Amazon to order the print version of this book to use as reference on a weekly basis. If you're an artist trying to figure out how to make money doing the thing you love. The thing you FEEL you were meant to be doing, this should be the first book you read. Thanks again Mr.Brubaker! Inspirational and Informational This guy is my kind of crazy! Loved the fountain of information and experience he shares! Solid advice for independent creators! I've been following Jason's work through YouTube and other outlets and already been inspired! this book is a comprehensive look into all that goes into creating independent comics from his point of view. He's been successful at what he's done and this information is absolutely invaluable for someone like me trying to do the same. All the advice is shared in an entertaining and clear way! I can't recommend this book enough for independent comic book creators For some reason I enjoyed Although the voice effects Jason uses at first seemed a bit corny I think it helped me eventually finish listening to this book in 24 hours time. I've been doing a lot of research so most of the information I already knew but he threw in a few things that gave me a new prospective. The chapters on designers and printing was useful and new to me. Jason comes off as a nice guy so listening to him was easy. Great info. This book collects tons and tons of great info on the do's, do nots, and how to's of creating and self publishing a graphic novel, and how to potentially make a living doing it. I recommend this to anyone who wants to self publish their own comics!

Title: Focus Subtitle: A Simplicity Manifesto in the Age of Distraction Author: Leo Babauta Narrator: Fred Stella Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 104 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Focus tells us how to find the focus among all the digital distractions in our world, so that we can create, focus on what's important, and find time for quiet and contemplation. At the heart of this simple book lies the key to many of the struggles we face these days, from being productive and achieving our goals, to getting healthy and fit in the face of fast food and inactivity, to finding simplicity and peace amidst chaos and confusion. That key itself is simple: focus. Our ability to focus will allow us to create in ways that perhaps we havent in years. Itll allow us to slow down and find peace of mind. Itll allow us to simplify and focus on the essential things, the things that matter most. Leo Babauta Members Reviews: Awful reworking of The Power of Less Any additional comments? I loved Babauta's The Power of Less. I've listened to it three times and bought the ebook. This is a retread of it, only ironically completely unfocused. It's clearly just some blog posts strung together without much effort to make them into a focused whole. The ending features fellow bloggers reading their own "power of less" style essays, and they aren't very good. Aside from being a poor rewrite, Babauta rejects one of the key ideas in "The Power of Less," which could've been interesting but didn't seem convincing to me. (I'll leave the mystery to readers of Focus.) Anyway, I wish I hadn't gotten the book and now I'm leery of getting more by him for fear they'll also be retreads. (Zen to Done is like a first draft of The Power of Less and not recommended either.) Bottom line: Stick with The Power of Less, not this. focus in living a simple life? It's all about telling you that our life is busier than before (eg a decade ago). good listening, if you didn't hear Leo's earlier Very good performance. Very interesting and smart approach to human productivity. Simply and powerful advices, that can change your life and work. Book worth listening, if you haven't listen or read any books of Leo Babauta earlier. If you have read or listen somethinf earlier - you can find this book very similiar to thers (ie. "Zen to done" also available in audible). Age of Distraction Worth every penny. Another great book. Very concise and straight to the point. We are in the "Age of Distraction" and most are not aware of it. This book will give you back your precious and invaluable resource... Time. Great! Motivational! Shows need for solitude and decreased interruptions ffor getting essential work done. Helped me batch phone calls and emails.

Food is a renewable commodity. This means that people won't stop looking for different sources of food because dining out is entertaining as well as functional. Many people dream of owning their own restaurants, whether it is fast food, coffee shops or gourmet. In reality, many people fail to sustain their restaurants and most restaurants die during their first year of operation. This is due to the lack of preparation and dedication on the part of the owner. Many people jump into the industry too fast without really weighing the pros and cons of the project or having the necessary expertise. However, there is a way to lessen the risk that is associated with new ventures such as restaurants. Preventive planning and proper management are keys to success but there are also small things which count in the whole process of owning a restaurant. Every business needs a business plan. Business plans are meant to lay down the different conditions and characteristics that should be inherent in the business. The availability of a good business plan which has been carefully formulated is a step towards success. Members Reviews: terrible narrator sounds like a computer. I only could stand 3 minutes. Do not waste your time.

Title: The Art of War Author: Sun Tzu Narrator: Jim Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 04-03-09 Publisher: Jimcin Recordings Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 376 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: This is the complete text of The Art of War, one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has also been applied to business and managerial strategies. The translation, by Lionel Giles, is considered one of the best available. This unabridged edition of The Art of War includes only the most essential translator's notes so that the words and thoughts of Sun Tzu may be easily understood. Members Reviews: Good Version Liked the fact that this version eliminated the interwoven comments that can make this hard to read - or listen to. Relevant as ever Amazing that a book written so many years ago go could still give so much practical advice for today - not just for war but for business. Very short listen with much good advice. You got to hear it You got to hear it. Perhaps the book is just as simple as it sounds. But in my mind, I think the lessens are about how to repair my finances. It is a Master telling me how to defeat the enemy, (financial problems). Perhaps to some, it is just “how to kick you ass”. Perhaps others, how to defeat the enemy (where the enemy is the trouble with [fill in the blank]. It is also a curios piece. It also is quick and uses economy when composing a phrase. A lot of bang for the buck. More than war is explained here When I was listening to this book (the third version of it) a teen age boy who was near me said this is a women's manual of how to defeat men. I look at it more as a manual of how to conduct one's life. This is a great manual for managers and executives. My first ready was at the direction of an executive. Here you will learn how to change your thinking into a winning thinking model. At last.....just the author! At last a version which eliminates most of the interminable notes and comments which make the author's thoughts so hard to follow in other versions. Amazing how short the book is when most of that is removed. Excellent, insightful book, good reading and cheap! Can't beat that combo.

The Big Moo Audiobook by Seth Godin, The Group of 33

Title: The Big Moo Subtitle: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable Author: Seth Godin, The Group of 33 Narrator: Seth Godin Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-05 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 515 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: In 2003, Seth Godin's Purple Cow challenged organizations to become remarkable: to drive growth by standing out in a world full of brown cows. It struck a huge chord and stayed on the Business Week best seller list for nearly two years. You can hear countless brainstorming meetings where people refer to purple cows and say things like, "That's not good enough. We need to create a big moo!" But how do you create a big moo, an insight so astounding that people can't help but remark on it, like digital TV recording (TiVo) or overnight shipping (FedEx), or the world's best vacuum cleaner (Dyson)? Godin worked with 32 of the world's smartest thinkers to answer this critical question. And the team, with the likes of Tom Peters, Malcolm Gladwell, Guy Kawasaki, Mark Cuban, Robyn Waters, Dave Balter, Red Maxwell, and Randall Rothenberg on board, created an incredibly useful audiobook that's fun to listen to and perfect for groups to share, discuss, and apply. The Big Moo is a simple audiobook in the tradition of Fish and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. Instead of lecturing you, it tells stories that stick to your ribs and light your fire. It will help you to create a culture that consistently delivers remarkable innovations. Editorial Reviews: The Big Moo: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable is more than just a business self-help manual. With extensive research and real-life case studies at its core, this collection is perfect for any business or individual trying to achieve more than the status quo. Written by Seth Godin and 33 other notable authors, including the likes of Tom Peters and Malcom Gladwell, The Big Moo is filled with stories that investigate the deeper strategy and choices behind successful businesses. Seth Godin's performance is particularly well-suited to relaying anecdotes and research in a light and accessible tone. Members Reviews: Be remarkable? This isn't. I know Seth is hugely popular, but I was disappointed with this book even though I loved All Marketers Are Liars (good book, poor title). It felt like a series of single sentence, pop, 'edicts of wisdom' that were suppose to transform my world upon hearing them (it's a tough act to sound like God AND be as creditable). His intro floats lots of names, but he used surprisingly few quoted statements. I feel Alan G. Robinson's Corporate Creativity was much better at explaining how to discover purple cows (which Seth now says is not enough to be 'remarkable'???). Disappointing Although I find Seth Godin's writings useful and always provocative, this concept may sound appealing but the audio version is a fairly bland collection of forgettable sound-bite sized statements. Nothing stood out or was memorable in any way. Godin's more recent works are definitely more worthwhile. Interesting Read The big moo is a collection of 33 short essays on creativity and remarkableness. Some are very short, others a few pages but each has some interesting thoughts. There are no recipes or step by step approaches outlined in the book, just interesting approaches and ideas about self-realization and moving forward. A good book both from a personal development and a business growth standpoint.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 97 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: After failing at twenty-two other jobs, Barbara borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City. Today, with over $4 billion in revenues, The Corcoran Group is New York's premier real estate company, and Barbara is richer than her wildest dreams. Whether you're just starting out, fighting your way up the career ladder, or reentering the workforce, the homespun lessons that work for Barbara will help you use what you've got to create success in your life. Critic Reviews: "Equal parts business primer, Oprah-spirited coming-of-age memoir and sneaky PR brochure for herself...Corcoran has produced a likable and worthwhile book, an honorable contribution with heart." (Publishers Weekly) "A practial, funny compendium of advice that should stick with any reader." (USA Today) "Part memoir, part rough guide to business and 100 percent in-your-face glee." (Working Mother) Members Reviews: Entertaining I was looking for an educational book on real estate and real estate investing, however, this did not hit the mark. This book was, however, an interesting rags to riches story and entertained my wife and I during a long trip. Great, Amusing Edutainment The story is told perfectly by the author. You can almost picture the family and her wise mother! Lot's of good snippets of information in there to be had, and highly entertaining too. This book had me really thinking about different ways to use the information it offered, but laughs kept me hooked, I'll be listening to this again quite soon. My thanks to the Author, another job well done! A chuckle a minute. You will listen more than once I can't express how much I enjoyed this book. The narration was wonderful. If you listen to this bok and are not inspired as well as entertained and touched emotionally, you are a brick. I loved it! Get to the point Found this book while doing a search for titles relating to real estate. Turned out to be a long rambling story without much substance. Reminds me a lot of the Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" narrative but without the helpful ideas. I think that the fact that one reviewer called it Oprah-spirited says it all. This book is a fat, waste of time. Adorable I really enjoyed this book. It's filled with great stories, great lessons, and lots of great advice.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? It's very general and short. Does not provide much value to those needing good advice on this topic. Seems like the suggestions are geared towards problem aversion rather than a proactive approach. Too short It's too short to be acceptable. I didn't reallize how short this audio book is.

Catchy title. I thought if this book teaches me how to motivate myself by viewing everything as competitive games I should listen to it. I'm very competitive and get swept away losing all track of everything when I compete. So with this hope in mind I got the audio. The music was quite old-school but I thought so what because quaintness can be cool. His voice reminded me of a preacher but I thought it is the content that matters. Then he started in on the content. About how people blame others. How you get ahead by watching successful people. How good family and god is important. How he taught as a priest or something and started in with examples. I flipped it off after 20 minutes of what can best be described as preaching. If you like radio preachers buy it. If you like thought provoking new paradigms to inspire you'll hate yourself for listening to even 20 minutes. Perhaps so much so that you'll want to warn others.

At a point very soon in the listening you will think, this is freaking tedious. Get to the point already.

He does, however, refer to materials which 'you can download from the site where you purchased this audiobook' that aren't available here. Customer service tells me they will be here in the future but I'm already done with the book.

The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management Audiobook by Hyrum W. Smith

Smith Narrator: George Lee Andrews Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 90 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: If you never have enough time, this material is for you. Most people suffer from "time famine" - there's more to be done than there is time to do it. Making list after list with no end in sight, your only accomplishment is frustration. The motivational speaker and creator of the highly successful Franklin System, Hyrum W. Smith, shows you how to organize your time and how to organize your life. By applying The 10 Natural Laws, you will increase productivity and you will increase inner peace. As a result, every aspect of your life will manifest greater satisfaction. ©1993 Hyrum W. Smith, All Rights Reserved, Abridgment Approved by the Author; (P) and ©1993 Time Warner AudioBooks, A Time Warner Company Critic Reviews: "Anyone who invests the time to [hear] this book will find it hugely profitable." (Timothy Price, MCI Corp.) "Smith's new book will enable you to seize control of your life and gain inner peace in the process." (Louis Tartaglia, M.D) Members Reviews: Franklin Planner Yes, this book is largely about using the Franklin Planner. But I read the book almost ten years ago and bought my Franklin Planner, and the two combined to be life-changing for me. I have ADD and lived in chaos before this system. I wish I'd found it sooner. So, if you're not interested in the Franklin Planner (now combined with the Covey system) you probably won't want this. But if you really need help finding sanity in the chaos of your life, you might want to give it a try. Buy Our Stuff! I've only been an hour into this title before realizing that "The 10 Natural Laws" is no more than a shameless plug for the author's popular day-planner. While I have no problem with him mentioning it, and there are some great tips to be had - it's distracting to hear the product brought up every so often. The first 20 minutes are spent with a lot of self back-patting and fluff about how the author started his company and how great it felt to watch his company go public (a big sarcastic yay!). A more appropriate title would be "How to Use the Franklin Date Planner"...Not a bad title, mind you...if you're into infomercials. Time well spent What did you like about this audiobook? It was very organized, practical and applicable. Definitely had all the elements I was looking for, and then some! How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter? I feel that the lessons I learned are applicable and will be helpful in achieving what the title promises. Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this? It is narrated well, and also written well. Great balance of stories and examples, as well as specific instruction. What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance? Easy to understand, with engaging intonation and voice. Great Concept I thought the book is a very good for anyone's life. Very practical way to manage and live your life. Good read Great reminder of the things to focus on for improvement in many areas in life that will ultimately improve time management.

From the millionaire entrepreneur and New York Times best-selling author of The 10X Rule comes a bold and contrarian wake-up call for anyone truly ready for success. Before Grant Cardone built five successful companies (and counting), became a multimillionaire, and wrote best-selling books, he was broke, jobless, and drug-addicted. Grant had grown up with big dreams, but friends and family told him to be more reasonable and less demanding. If he played by the rules, they said, he could enjoy everyone else's version of middle class success. But when he tried it their way, he hit rock bottom. Then he tried the opposite approach. He said no to the haters and naysayers and said yes to his burning, outrageous, animal obsession. He reclaimed his obsession with wanting to be a business rock star, a super salesman, a huge philanthropist. He wanted to live in a mansion and even own an airplane. Obsession made all of his wildest dreams come true. And it can help you achieve massive success too. As Grant says, we're in the middle of an epidemic of average. The conventional wisdom is to seek balance and take it easy. But that has really just given us an excuse to be unexceptional. If you want real success, you have to know how to harness your obsession to rocket to the top. This book will give you the inspiration and tools to break out of your cocoon of mediocrity and achieve your craziest dreams.

Title: Faster Together Subtitle: Accelerating Your Team's Productivity Author: Laura Stack Narrator: Laura Stack Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Don't Slow Down-Team Up! With countless emails, constant communication, cascading deadlines, and seemingly endless meetings, it's a wonder any of us gets anything done these days. You can try working harder or faster or smarter, but what really makes the difference is teaming well. A good team is the most powerful productivity machine in existence. Laura Stack's FAST model mobilizes teams to be the most effective they can be, while keeping each other's best interests at heart. Teams learn to work together Fairly, accept Accountability, apply Systems Thinking, and maximize available Technology. An interactive assessment helps you evaluate your team's current speed and rate of acceleration. Every team may have its stars, but they couldn't do their jobs without the rest of the team doing theirs. By the end of this audiobook, you'll truly understand the abilities of your team and how each member makes things go. So, rev your team's engines, and you'll soon be roaring down the track together! Members Reviews: Increase Your Teamâs Productivity Right from the introduction of Laura Stackâs latest book, you get the feeling that youâre behind the wheel of a race car at a NASCAR event. The tips and techniques come fast and furiously as you speed around the track. Although odd to say about a business book, the writing actually captures the mood of the authorâs goal: to speed teams of employees (not just individuals) along to increased productivity. The book focuses on four keys to productivity: 1) Fairness 2) Accountability 3) Systems-Thinking 4) Technology. My favorite section: âSystems-Thinkingâ! As a salesperson and consultant in and out of corporations for most of my career and as a volunteer serving in nonprofits, Iâve observed this as the biggest weakness for corporations. Teams often bog down in their systems: They fail to consider the long-term consequences of short-term actions. Under the four âkeys,â the book addresses many topics: What to do with the toxic teammate. What to put on your Not-To- Do list. How to take the initiative when your meeting facilitator fails. How to decide which method of communication is most appropriate for what situation. When consensus is the best approach for decision-making. And so much more. Itâs a rare business book that captures the emotion, camaraderie, and the exhilaration of speed and accomplishment. Stackâs book manages to do just that. I highly recommend this book if youâre looking to increase productivity as a team. Owners Manual for Driving a FAST Team Laura Stack is the Productivity Pro and she has written several books on individual productivity, but this is her first on improving team productivity. Since I am a professional meeting facilitator, I was particularly impressed with how she broke down the elements of team productivity into four FAST keys - each with three accelerators. There's a quick test to take to assess your team's productivity - and then you can use the book as a training guide or "owner's manual" into accelerating the performance of the team. It's written in such a way that the team can take one key or even one accelerator and drive performance around it - assign the pages to read, then discuss as a team what they are doing well and what they can do better.

Title: Summary: Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade by Robert Cialdini Author: Billionaire Mind Publishing 30 Minutes Flip Narrator: Earl Hall Format: Unabridged Length: 51 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-17 Publisher: Billionaire Mind Publishing Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Are you struggling to make sales? Are you failing at your pitches? If then, you're probably not doing the Pre-Suasion right. Robert Cialdini is the New York Times best-selling author of Influence, and now he is back with Pre-Suasion, which is an insightful, timeless book that has already garnered many positive reviews. Pre-Suasion will prepare you on how to be an excellent persuader that can make your targeted audience go "yes". It is the key moment before the actual message is being delivered that prepares people to be receptive to the message. And that crucial moment, the small window of time is known as Pre-Suasion. This book is not just about what you do before delivering the message, which is equally, if not more important than persuasion itself. It's also about recognizing that opportunity before the actual message and seizing it. As Robert Cialdini says, altering a listener's belief is not necessary, but redirecting the audience's focus of attention before a relevant action is. Be prepared to be mind-blown by the lessons of this book. Note: This is a summary of the book and not the actual book. Members Reviews: Bring Your Sales Game to the Next Level Having great selling skills can take you a long way in the business world. However, many salesmen are constantly making the same mistakes over and over again. This book eliminates the fluff and gives a good summary of Pre-Suasion which will give you easy to understand tips and lessons to help improve your skills to the next level. Not really worth it This booklet is not worth the $9.49 I paid for it. There are a lot of awkward phrases, grammar mistakes and poor typesetting. A company called Billionaire Mind Publishing should live up to the image they are trying to convey. I would rather spend the additional money required for the full book. Great piece of work Great piece of work ... covers all the bases in setting the stage for effective influence. Solid foundation for personal development or guiding the development of others who rely on influence to fulfill their goals and ambitions ... and who doesn't? I recommend this book for anyone wanting to take the next ... Being in the competitive medical sales industry, I'm always looking for ways to improve my performance and attract new customers. This book caught my attention, and must admit that I was surprised at how effective the methods discussed can be utilized in the real world. As a businessman I'm always wanting to look for new and fresh ideas, and with this 30 minute short read, I recommend this book for anyone wanting to take the next step in their professional or personal life. Easy to read. Highly recommend. Very informative! For me this was a very good read, specially since I didn't know what pre-suasion concept is so I was very curious. Now I do - thanks to this quick and very informative read. I am very happy with this purchase.

Title: Summary of The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss - Includes Analysis Author: Instaread Summaries Narrator: Sam Scholl Format: Unabridged Length: 20 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-16 Publisher: Instaread Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book. The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich is a manifesto calling for workers everywhere to rise up and flee their cubicles in pursuit of a life guided by their passions and not their paychecks. It offers a practical, step-by-step guide that can be followed by people who are not independently wealthy but who don't want to be slaves to their jobs until retirement. Whether a person is an entrepreneur or an employee, he or she can follow this path. However, the steps to doing so will vary slightly. The American work culture is inherently flawed. Every day, millions of people willingly sacrifice the best years of their lives in service of a retirement that is decades away. Instead of embracing a desire to learn and grow throughout their lives, they work jobs they hate so that they might one day be able to relax in old age.... Inside this Instaread summary of The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss: Members Reviews: lackluster i felt it was lacking, perhaps the original was also. basically, don't check your email accept on a schedule, automate or hire people to work for you, and work from home. Worthless Totally pointless, not worth the money, credits and/or time. Guess it serves me right for trying to find a shortcut to a book about shortcuts Wish I could return it The word "Analysis" is used way too often! Struggled to finish as the word "analysis" at the start and end of every sentence was way too annoying to listen to. Usually love Tim Ferriss material. Good Summary Good summary. Feels like I got most of the books ideas delivered to me. At one point at the end, the summary calls the author's practices 'unethical', but I found that to be a little too opinionated on the summarizer's part. A helpful summary! this is a great summary if you don't feel like you need to be convinced that there are serious problems with the American work culture. I also Imagine That reading the book might be enjoyable in other ways but my goal was to understand his point and for that, this shortened version was fantastic.

Title: Throwing the Elephant Subtitle: Zen and the Art of Managing Up Author: Stanley Bing Narrator: Philip Bosco, Simon Jones Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 02-19-04 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Throwing the Elephant: Zen and the Art of Managing Up artfully, clearly, and concisely provides a thorough grounding in the Zen Buddhist attitude you will need in order to move forward and control the people you work for. This book guarantees personal enlightenment while providing literally dozens of helpful, specific exercises and solutions to the most common problems of professional life. Critic Reviews: "In a spoof of just about every career advice and management-by-metaphor book ever created, Bing delivers a Zen-like guide to managing your boss. The premise? Here's what Buddha would tell you if he were your personal career coach." (Publishers Weekly) "A clever book on how to manage elephants, a.k.a. bosses....Witty and thought-provoking...imaginative and unique." (Library Journal) "This is essential reading for anyone who hates his or her boss and the corporate structure in general." (Booklist) Members Reviews: In response to David from Lafayette Could David possibly be an elephant? This book is not about climbing any ladders, it's about being effective and happy where you are on the ladder. I found the approach and the content helpful and would recommend it to anyone looking to make sense of the Dibertesque corporate cultures that control most of our waking hours. An interesting take on an old topic Not a ton of new ideas here, but a refreshing way to deliver age old wisdom on how you should be handling the relationship with your boss. I laughed out loud a couple times on the delivery. excellent and fun This is a great book for a review and fun to listen too. It tells you some words of wisdom in a humorous and stylistic manner that makes you picture some of the mistakes you've made in the past and how to share them with the people you lead. I would recommend this to others who enjoy laughing and visualizing situations. Also to people who are coaching future leaders. Can it help you with your own situations in working with yoiur own leader...yes it can. A bit out of date Entertaining but not very useful. There are a couple tidbits but find a summary and skip the whole book. I was not expecting this book to be hilarious What made the experience of listening to Throwing the Elephant the most enjoyable? The accent of the narrator makes this book so much more clever because it conjures images of watching a Nature channel with wise hints of Obi Wan. Brilliant. What other book might you compare Throwing the Elephant to and why? Having read/listened to stacks of business books, I was anticipating a business book to give me tips on getting ahead or whatever, and instead I'm getting zen lessons in throwing an elephant. Nothing like it. This book is remarkably clever. Things that used to annoy me about the elephant now just make me smile.

How does this one compare? The narrator was engaging, and helped the ease of listening to the book. I have ot listened to nay other audio by Jake.

Title: How to Start a Home-Based Food Business Subtitle: Turn Your Foodie Love into Serious Cash Author: Sam Kerns Narrator: Anna Crowe Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-16 Publisher: RainMaker Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Do your insides jump for joy when you see a perfectly frosted cupcake or cookie? Or do you love the look of violet lavender syrup or a mouthwatering strawberry and lime jam? Or are you more of a savory person and melt when you see a jar of homemade salsa or seasoned nuts with just the right amount of spices? If food excites you as much as it does me, you just might be a foodie. And in today's food-centered world, there is serious money to be made with your passion. Food consumption has really changed in the past decade, and now more than ever, people want to know what's in their food, where it came from and who made it. That's bad news for businesses that mass produce food, but great news for those in the cottage food industry. You see, in the past individuals who wanted to sell food were required to involve the state health inspectors and lease commercial kitchens in order to sell to the public. Obviously, that prevented a lot of people from pursuing their food dreams. But now many states have passed cottage food laws that are designed to give home chefs and bakers the right to produce products from their homes and sell them to the public. I've opened and closed many businesses in my lifetime, and there's nothing I love more than taking an idea and turning it into a smoothly run, profitable business. And this book was born of that desire. Members Reviews: Motivating This is a useful book to motivate you to take a serious look at your business dreams. It is exactly what I was hoping the book to be, and was very up-to-date as "upwork" was previously "elance" only until recently. This genre of books are anecdotal, out of date, too long, or very narrow to an author's personal experience. Kerns has done a great job, and this audiobook is a lot like a business course you might take at your local community college (except much cheaper and less time consuming) and it is actionable as promised. I'm considering the other audiobooks in the series to continue to motivate myself out of the IT industry as an employee and step onto the path of self-employment. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, a quarter-life crisis. Good simple to the point Well written book that is realistic and easy to use with real world references. Highly recommended. best information I could've gotten! I learned so much from this book. I am much more confident now that I have a better understanding of the cottage food industry. Inspiring - gave me the tools to succeed! I found this book just in the nick of time. I was on the verge of giving up on my dream to earn a living selling food items I've created for others to enjoy. After listening to Sam Kerns book on How to Start a Home-Based Food business, I literally decided that day to start making my dreams come true. The book was so complete and helpful I actually started my own business the day after I finished the book. Highly recommended to anyone seeking to start a home based food business. Even for those who think they already know it all!

With all the different occupations to choose from, where do you even begin to find something that you will be good at doing and love doing as well? The truth is, all you have to do is look at yourself and inside yourself to see where you should be. Plenty of people have made career changes late in life. Many professional athletes have to make career choices once they are no longer able to play sports at a level they always have been able to. Stay-at-home moms with children in school suddenly find themselves wanting to do something worthwhile instead of staying home all day. Some of them have even built hobbies into multi-millionaire businesses! It happens all the time and for a variety of different reasons. The world's business economy is volatile at the very least and many companies have to lay off workers or close the business entirely. That leaves displaced worked facing career moves they hadn't anticipated. In fact, the reality is that the average person will make two to five career changes between the time they enter the work force to the time when they retire. Many colleges have displaced workers programs and adult education programs that can ease people into a career change. Sometimes, however, the best way to make a career change is just to jump in and do it. But how do you know what career to choose? That's why you're listening to this book. We can help guide you toward the perfect career for you. Members Reviews: Not impressed! Some information was outdated/incorrect. Took until the 9th chapter to actually start talking about actual career choices.

However, just as ADD can be properly managed, our busy lives can be managed too.

Taking a direct, lighthearted, wholly practical approach, Haider Imam zooms straight in on that moment of truth providing a set of proven tools and techniques for getting to 'yes,' every time.

Title: Vital Friends Subtitle: The People You Can't Afford to Live Without Author: Tom Rath Narrator: Tom Rath Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 12-21-06 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: His team's discoveries produced Vital Friends, a book that challenges long-held assumptions people have about their relationships. And the team's landmark discovery that people who have a "best friend at work" are seven times as likely to be engaged in their job is sure to rattle the structure of organizations around the world. Drawing on research and case studies from topics as diverse as management, marriage, and architecture, Vital Friends reveals what's common to all truly essential friendships: a regular focus on what each person is contributing to the friendship, rather than the all-too-common approach of expecting one person to be everything. Tom Rath's fast-paced and inviting storytelling takes a mountain of important research and makes it remarkably accessible and applicable. By the time you finish reading Vital Friends, you'll see your coworkers, family, friends, and significant other in a whole new light. Please note: When you purchase this title, you will be emailed a unique ID that provides access to accompanying online material. Critic Reviews: "Rath's bullishness on friendship is based on solid research and couched in intelligent prose." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Vital Friends This book has helped me understand why I connect with some and not others. It has also helped me verbalize my choice of companions to others I respect. This book breaks down what every human is looking for in socialization efforts from oneself and from others. If you have ever felt alone in a crowd, you may enjoy this book.

Title: The Power of Writing Well Subtitle: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Business and Technical Communications Author: Pete Geissler Narrator: Ray Allaire Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: The Expressive Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: "A bad writer has no rights whatever. Any mercy shown to him is wasted and mistaken." H.L. Mencken, 1880-1956 I wrote The Power of Writing Well to address everything managers, leaders, engineers, scientists, and others need to be better senders and receiver's, not to cover everything they need to know about the language or to be the perfect sender or receiver; nobody is. The many books on writing and communicating that claim to be everything to everybody fail simply because they are overwhelmingly complex, full of jargon and useless labels and distinctions such as participial phrase as opposed to gerund phrase, or transitive verb versus intransitive verb. Most of us outside of academe don't care, and we shouldn't since they are not relevant to our needs. This short book condenses the habits and techniques - your tools - that work most of the time for most of the people who write at work and want to be happier in all parts of their lives: nothing more, nothing less . It is also a true and accurate reflection of my 40 years of writing for business and of teaching writing at two prestigious universities and many professional societies and companies. You can trust that what I'm telling you will improve your abilities to communicate and think, and make you more productive, promotable, and happy. It will also make your organization more efficient and profitable. I guarantee it, and my students attest to it . Members Reviews: Okay.... But 1) Too 2) Many 3) Lists Would you try another book from Pete Geissler and/or Ray Allaire? This book should have taken its own advice about lists and bullet points. Every single chapter was a series of lists, with sub lists with over-simplified examples that marginally explained the listed item before initiating a sub-list or moving on to another bullet point. Or sometimes had no explanation. Item # 6 in a list of 17 writing tips stated "always be cohesive, and unified", and then went straight to 7. Also, to my memory, it WAS a list of writing techniques, but there were 17 of them and I don't really remember the focus of the list after 17 things and an hour of discussion. What three words best describe Ray Allaires performance? Well-paced reading for the subject material. Was The Power of Writing Well worth the listening time? Somewhat. Probably had 5-10 takeaways after 4 hours of lists. Practical ,useful advice What made the experience of listening to The Power of Writing Well the most enjoyable? you can expect practical, useful advice from a professional writer, and you get it with this book. Geissler has written for a variety of businesses, taught advanced writing at prestigious universities and firms, and authored eight books and counting. Trust him to give you the straight skinny The way this book teaches What insight do you think youll apply from The Power of Writing Well? I really like the way this book teaches better writing: by bringing concepts, habits, and tools into the real world with before and after examples. The book is a conversation with its author, an accomplished writer of business intelligence that you can trust to steer you in the right direction. Helpful for Leaders What did you like best about this story? The many leaders I know that wish their employees could write better can quit wishing and start acting.

Lead Your Business. Author: Joost Wouters Narrator: Brian Landrum Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-13 Publisher: Open Book Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: In The 15-Minute Inbox, international business consultant Joost Wouters offers a solution to control your email, create time and spend it instead on activities that really matter. More than a quick fix or another "how-to" guide, The 15-Minute Inbox offers a simple yet powerful approach for everyone who prefers to be a proactive business builder instead of a reactive firefighter. With the introduction of the four M.A.I.L. steps, Joost has created a complete process that will guide you in your journey towards mastering your inbox. You will look at the mindsets and habits you need to change to get your inbox under control in 15 minutes or less. You will find ways to automate a big chunk of your email management and apply the limited actions that are possible to treat each email. You will set up a structure that will help you to implement the new behavior and integrate it in your daily work. And most importantly, you will create clarity about what you will do with all the additional time you have created and on what activities and projects you should spend it instead. Joost Wouters - who has been invited by the management teams of many multinational firms all over the world - reveals the way to make best use of your two most precious assets: your time and your attention. Members Reviews: Now I am in control of my inbox! Would you listen to The 15-Minute Inbox again? Why? Yes, it has very useful chapters that I need to review again. Some exercises that help to understand why I have a full inbox and also some tips on how to keep it empty. What other book might you compare The 15-Minute Inbox to and why? Maybe GTD, however that discusses more the what and not the how. Which scene was your favorite? "You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn how to ride them" Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, it has too many good information to listen it in one go. It naturally comes in 4 sections, so those are logical points to stop. Any additional comments? Highly recommended for anyone dealing with a full inbox and frustrated about the daily flow of incoming email. Great way to control my email. Kept me engaged to the end. My inbox is now in control and great tips to the end

Every Move Must Have a Purpose Audiobook by Bruce Pandolfini

Title: Every Move Must Have a Purpose Subtitle: Strategies from Chess for Business and Life Author: Bruce Pandolfini Narrator: Bruce Pandolfini Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 12-11-03 Publisher: Listen & Live Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 79 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Fluid and elegant, yet rigorous and rule-bound, chess is a game that seduces, confounds, and hooks. Now, world-renowned chess master and Fortune 500 business consultant Bruce Pandolfini shows readers how chess principles can be simply and logically applied to any business or life situation. No specific chess knowledge is needed, but after reading Every Move Must Have a Purpose, you will share with the most astute chess players the secret to thinking on your feet. From the celebrated "chairman of the board" comes the secrets of strategy that everyone will find useful: Crisply and engagingly written, with entertaining examples and chess anecdotes, Every Move Must Have a Purpose will improve your strategic thinking so you'll never again debate your next move. Members Reviews: Adversarial, two-dimensional approach to business This is mostly a book about chess with brief references to business. The concept sounded interesting and it had such great reviews, I gave it a try - and am disappointed. Seems the author really wanted to write a book about chess history and strategy, and stuck in random thoughts about business. It would be helpful for those whose main desire is to improve their chess game, or perhaps interesting to those who are already fairly accomplished chess players. Each chapter presents a principle of chess - "Play with a plan," "Learn from your mistakes" - followed by lengthy examples from chess, then a tiny bit basically saying that this also applies to business. For example, in the chapter entitled, "Don't Sacrifice Without Good Reason," he gives the brief business example of flooding the market with free product in order to try to gain customers who will pay for it in the future. Then he says that in chess and business it's really better to sacrifice your opponent's pieces than your own. If there is a way to do that in the business world, he has left me in the dark about what he means. A more fundamental drawback is that he seems to take a wholly adversarial win/lose approach to business. In chess, there's always an opponent, a winner and a loser. The approach of Stephen Covey and others - to seek win/win solutions - makes more sense to me. Another flaw in his approach is that chess has only two people/entities involved, whereas in business you have at least three - yourself as a product/service supplier, your prospects or clients, and your competitors. At least in my profession, I find I do far better to work on my relationship and communication with potential clients, than I would do by attacking my competitors in some way. I enjoy good business relationships based on trust. Simple yet deep Let me say that this book took me by surprise with its intriguing stories drawn from the annals of chess history. The book is a hybrid chess instruction/business strategy, which draws life lessons from lessons learned on the chess board. The author enjoys interjecting zen-like axioms similar to ?your weakness is your strength.? Overall, the book is extremely satisfying when wanting to know basic principles which the best players abide by. Admittedly More Philosophical Than Practical The philosophical rather than practical nature of the work make it a worthwhile 'read'.

Trusts Audiobook by Terence O'Halloran

Title: Trusts Subtitle: A Practical Guide, Part One: The Basics Author: Terence O'Halloran Narrator: Terence O'Halloran Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 07-18-07 Publisher: M-y Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: What of those who are just being introduced to trusts? Trusts are an essential part of business and financial planning life. There is little in life assurance or pensions, let alone overall wealth-preservation planning, that the subject of trusts does not impinge on. But which trust? What type of trust? Should there be an interest in possession or not? An absolute trust or should there be discretion? Who should be the trustee? Are your parents older than you are? It is not such a silly question; the listener will unearth the reason for the answer. Critic Reviews: "A real boon." (Sunday Times) Members Reviews: Enjoyed it; basic yet obtuse; UK law This is an odd work. I constantly refresh my legal studies and I have a particular interest in trusts, so this has been worthwhile. Its benefit is to lay out a lot of situations one might not have thought of, in the logic of things like estate planning and trusts, with all the twists of divorces, deaths, kids, etc. But the law is only similar to ours, built on the same themes and basic terminologies, but UK law. So in all, it was a quite useful exercise for me particularly. Running through it helped me when I stepped into an estate lawyer's office for a recent consultation; it sort of tuned my thinking to that framework. Of course these books are rightly disclaimed as no substitute for legal advice, and that applies with particular force here. But to advance a general education on this subject, it served well for me.

Nierenberg will teach you how to become a successful negotiator through a series of simple and proven techniques that will help you to: Members Reviews: Worth wading through the fluff Although this book suffers a bit from the author's desire to tell lot's of "great deals I did" stories, the non-fluffy content in the book is worth wading through the rest for. There's a good chapter on strategy and tactics. All in all, i'd say about 1/3 to 1/2 of this book is meaningful content. Don't even think about it This is a review of the Audio Book version of this title. Simply put, it stinks. I was a T.A. at univeristy level communications production, and have heard student sound projects with more production value than this audio book. The multiple voices are poorly cast for a husband and wife duo who have arguments that aren't realistic or helpful. He sounds gay, she sounds like a materialistic bimbo. Each time they cut to an interview segment of Nierenberg, there is a constant buzz that is noticable. Poor recordings. If it had been a series of records of Nierenberg speaking, it would have been more informative. Although some of the information was useful, it is few and far between, and the low production value of the cassette takes attention away from that. It is obvious that Nierenberg knows his stuff, but this production was not a great communication tool for him. They may have gotten my dollars, but at least now they won't get yours if you are reading this. Two words: Stay Away! A great speaker and motivator with a great book. So much wisdom and finesse in the art of negotiating. And real world advice like, "The Value of a service diminishes greatly upon completion." Truer words have never been spoken. Get the book. If you're in Sales or contracting, you'll find it a valuable resource. I also found him to be an engaging speaker who captivated his audience. Win-Win negotiating The term "Win-Win" has become an every day buzz word. I read Gerard's book nearly thirty years ago when the term was really something new. He actually coined the phrase "Everybody Wins." Virtually the same concept. His examples are creative and pertain to real life situations. It is good to read a book by someone who has actually been there and done that. His other books are quite informative also. ;-) save your money Should be rated for ages 6 through 14. Simplistic at best

Title: The Well-Balanced Teacher Subtitle: How to Work Smarter and Stay Sane Inside the Classroom and Out Author: Mike Anderson Narrator: Gary L Willprecht Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 09-24-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: You've probably heard the advice put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others. This is true both in airplanes and in classrooms. You have to take care of yourself before you can help someone else. If teachers are stressed out and exhausted, how can they have the patience, positive energy, and enthusiasm to provide the best instruction for students? Author Mike Anderson asked that question as a teacher himself, and the answers he found form the basis of The Well-Balanced Teacher. He found that teachers need to take care of themselves in five key areas to keep themselves in shape to care for their students. In addition to paying proper attention to their basic needs for nutrition, hydration, sleep, exercise, and emotional and spiritual refreshment, teachers also need. Belonging: Teachers need to feel positive connections with other people, both in school and outside school. Significance: Teachers want to know that they make a positive difference through the work they do. Positive engagement: When teachers enjoy their work, they have great energy and passion for their teaching. Balance: Healthy teachers set boundaries and create routines so that they can have rich lives both in the classroom and at home. Anderson devotes a chapter to each of these needs, describing in frank detail his own struggles and offering a multitude of practical tips to help readers find solutions that will work for them. When teachers find ways to take care of their own needs, they will be healthier and happier, and they will have the positive energy and stamina needed to help their students learn and grow into healthy adults. The book is published by ASCD Members Reviews: A+ Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! Any additional comments? Great book for teachers...I listened to it during my hour commute to school. Every day after listening, I walked into my classroom with such a great attitude. Thanks! I'll be listening to this book again! Highly recommend for all teachers! I enjoyed reading this book at the beginning of my 6th school year. It reminded me of things I already try to do to keep my life balanced between work and home, and suggested other new things to try. It's only 4 hours long, so it's easy to listen through the whole thing in a few commutes to and from work. Fellow Teacher friends, check it out! Regain your confidence in your teaching ability I especially related to chapter 5 which talked about the confidence or lack thereof of teachers in their own abilities. This was an excellent book for teachers to read and gain more confidence in their training and learn to take care of themselves so they are in condition to be most effective with their students. I loved this book! I NEEDED this book! This was an excellent, quick read! It approached the self-care of teachers with a very positive outlook! Good advice but dry Is there anything you would change about this book? The author has good advice but the reader is dry and difficult to listen to for long periods of time. This is a book you listen to in between other books for short periods.

A Book of Five Rings Audiobook by Miyamoto Musashi

Title: A Book of Five Rings Author: Miyamoto Musashi Narrator: Stanley Ralph Ross Format: Abridged Length: 1 hr and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-06 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 165 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Written over three centuries ago by a Samurai warrior, A Book of Five Rings has been hailed as a limitless source of psychological insight for businessmen or anyone who relies on strategy and tactics to outwit the competition. Miyamoto Musashi was renowned in his own time as an invincible warrior, a master artisan, an author, and philosopher. Today, his philosophy is still revered by the Japanese and used as a guide for daily decision-making and business strategy. He wrote A Book of Five Rings not only as a thesis on doing battle, but also as a way to approach all aspects of life: "any situation where plans and tactics are used". When A Book of Five Rings first appeared on North American bookshelves in 1974, its message took the business community by storm. It provided insight into the then-emerging Japanese influence and offered a new way to think about business. It instantly became a vital tool for assured success and has remained so ever since. The principles in this work are as true today as they were over 300 years ago, and are as valid for business negotiations as for hand-to-hand combat. Based on the principles of Zen and advocating a hands-on approach to mastering the skills needed for winning, A Book of Five Rings is very likely the most perceptive guide to strategy ever written. Critic Reviews: "On Wall Street, when Musashi talks, people listen." (Time) Members Reviews: A Book of Five Rings I love having this book to listen to while I drive and work. There is so much to learn each time I listen. I highly recommend this book! One of the Best! Fantastic book! Most books you can read once and burn. This one gives the reader something to think about and new insights each time you review it. There is a reason this book has lasted over 400 years and there are many reasons why the author won over 60 life-death battles. Highly recommended in both audio and book format. Things that make you go Hmmmm The book is fine, the narrative is fine, the Japanese philosophy lost me. I listen to it once in between each of my other books hoping I might grasp something. Not strategic at all This book has got nothing to do with "Strategy" as we perceive it in today's western world. You need to be a swords man to understand how Musashi refers to strategy: a posture and both action and reaction in a hand-to-hand combat using swords. The book's description is highly misleading, probably due to literal translation. Even the author wrote down that the majority of his techniques cannot be explained in detailed writing and basically have to be mastered by practice with the sword. There are a few minor nuggets that elude to some Zen spirit, but they certainly don't warrant your time and money. This book is unfortunately of no use to our current time (in any context for that matter), unless you plan on negotiating your next business deal using 'long swords' and 'winning' the deal, i.e. cut, slice, hack, or kill your opponent. Five Rings This book is based on fighting; actual hand to hand combat. I see no way to incorporate it in the business world.

The Chameleon Audiobook by Merrick Rosenberg

Title: The Chameleon Subtitle: Life-Changing Wisdom for Anyone Who has a Personality or Knows Someone Who Does Author: Merrick Rosenberg Narrator: Allyson Briggs, Merrick Rosenberg Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Merrick Rosenberg Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Imagine what it would be like to understand the actions and motivations of others - and to know how to apply such knowledge to be a more effective leader, teacher, coach, or salesperson - or even a better partner, or parent. The Chameleon, by Merrick Rosenberg, a fun, easy-to-understand listen, teaches powerful lessons about gaining deeper self-awareness, maximizing personal strengths, and empowering others around you. The Chameleon contains 22 fables based on the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl personality styles Rosenberg introduced in his first book, Taking Flight! Guided by an all-knowing chameleon, the characters help listeners gain meaningful insights into understanding themselves and others. The Introduction fable provides an overview of the four personality styles. The fables chronicle the bird's interactions over a one-year period and are followed by a "Chameleon Wisdom" section which expands on the fable's lessons and provides practical applications and scenarios of the story's moral. These deeper insights include examples of how to employ the styles to increase effectiveness at work, deepen personal relationships, parent with compassion, and generally live a more fulfilling life. Members Reviews: Four Stars Good book A novel but effective approach When I agreed to write an honest review in exchange for a copy of Merrick Rosenberg's "The Chameleon" I had no idea what to expect. Upon glancing at it I became aware that it had to do with personality types and how people of different types can learn to work effectively. At first I was a bit skeptical of the approach taken by the author. The book consists of a series of "fables," vignettes that feature four different species of birds, each of which represents a personality type. The first bird is Ivory the parrot. She is fun-loving, sociable, and lives in the moment. At the opposite extreme is Carl the owl, who is scheduled and organized and seemingly does everything by the book. These two are like oil and water, in that Carl cannot abide Ivory's almost total lack of a schedule and her unwillingness to follow instructions to the letter. Dee, the eagle, is the broad-picture person. Like Carl, she wants things done her way, but unlike Carl, she is not detail oriented but instead is often grandiose. Finally, Simon the dove is kindhearted and others-centered, concerned with the welfare of those around him. Along with these four birds are two chameleons, Xenia, the teacher, and her student, Xandu. From time to time they step into the conflicts that arise between these birds and impart understanding of how these birds can solve their conflicts by better understanding each other. Altogether there are some 20 fables, classified by seasons of the year. At first I wasn't sure that the author would be able to impart any really serious insight through this approach. But as I read through a few of them I began to see how cleverly Rosenberg has woven in the lessons he wants to impart. And before long I started recognizing myself and others in the interactions between these birds.

Members Reviews: These two Gentleman are so easy to listen to I could listen to Jon Kabat-Zinn and Daniel Goleman for hours. They have this banter that keeps you interested and the topic of course is what keeps all of us in the world. I mean keeps us " in the world." Keeping yourself in the moment is what keeps us out of the Doctors office, listen and find out for yourself. Great job Guys and keep-um comin'. Denise It's a podcast & it should be free I listened to it twice wondering if I missed anything. it rather encourages the audience to buy the books of the both authors, which in fact sounds like an hour long commercial. I wanted to return it. the system refused. I would rather get a zen book instead. the content is not what the title is. Terrific! What made the experience of listening to Mindfulness @ Work the most enjoyable? Honest, real, valuable for anyone who wants to move beyond standard advice for self-development. What other book might you compare Mindfulness @ Work to and why? Jon Kabat-Zinn's books have been at the heart of the Mindfulness movement, and the addition of Daniel Goleman speaking of Emotional Intelligence, as well as the warm interchange between these two dear friends make this an extremely enjoyable listen. Have you listened to any of Daniel Goleman and Jon Kabat-Zinn s other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. This is the best. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. But it brought be real joy and as I finished, I wanted to go right back to the beginning and listen again. Any additional comments? If you have any inclination whatsoever to check this out, DO IT! Terrific content Would you listen to Mindfulness @ Work again? Why? yes. it has practical implication in day-to-day life for everyone who is in corporate culture What about Daniel Goleman and Jon Kabat-Zinn s performance did you like? Their opennnes Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yup Excellent book for everyone from students to working professionals and public in general Truly motivating and in many ways an eye opener as to how being present and being human can make a huge difference at work and life. Highly recommended for working professionals who also happen to lead teams. Equally recommended for team members who contribute to the goals of an organization.

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/524/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: How Children Succeed by Paul Tough: Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review Author: Eureka Books Narrator: Michael Pauley Format: Unabridged Length: 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-15 Publisher: Eureka Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: How Children Succeed by Paul Tough is a journalistic review of the most recent research connecting success in adulthood with character development in childhood and the programs that use character to motivate and teach low-performing children to become high achievers. Most school curricula and measures of future success for children are historically rooted in cognitive indicators like math ability, language skills, and critical thinking. While those indicators are significant factors in future success, even children who score high in cognitive indicators struggle if they have low noncognitive indicator scores. Noncognitive indicators, including conscientiousness and grit, are also known as character traits. This companion to How Children Succeed includes: Members Reviews: âEUREKA BOOKS PROVIDES A VALUABLE SERVICE" This is an overview of the actual book "How Children Succeed" itself. Kind of like a Cliff's Notes for the full book. It provides a potential reader enough information regarding this bookâs plots, characters and content to determine if we want to invest the extra money and time to actually buy and read the entire book. As an avid reader I have personally found âEureka Booksâ to be a very helpful and valuable service. (BTW ... I bought and read the full book about a year ago myself ... rated it 5-STAR on Amazon and noted that an overwhelming number of viewers also rated it very high. I think the book should be a mandatory read for all prospective parents.) Great for parents! I recommend to my daddy friends Great review, much like Sparknotes, but better. "How Children Succeed" explores the principles of how children develop, and this review includes a summary of Tough's great book. A great read for prospective parents, because it breaks down the key takeaways of Tough's book into snippets. As a parent of a toddler, its hard to find time for anything besides vegging on the couch. And reading all the advice out there on parenting doesn't sound like a lot of fun. But this review from Eureka Books was impressive, and fit into my crazy life. I would recommend to all parents who want the best for their kids, even if they don't have enough time for a NYT Bestseller right now. Powerful message! Gets to the point. I prefer to cut to the chase. Recommend to parents and educators. Good message. Definitely something to think about. I will take this. Helpful and useful takeaways! For school School required text leaned a lot.

After working a bunch of 9:00-5:00 jobs and having to answer to an employer, come in when I don't feel good, or sit there watching the clock and feeling bored for a low payment, I suddenly discovered the hidden world of making money online. There are numerous ways to do so, with the benefits of passive income, flexible hours, mobility, and working for yourself. Some ways are easier than others, and some are more profitable or faster than others, but each of them has been proven to be effective in one way or another. Right now, I am making more than $5,000 passive income per month, and 3X as much in the months November and December, all from online businesses. I would never want to go back to the "old" way of making active income, with all the frustrations that go with it. Making money online is worth every bit of your time when you are starting up.

Title: Buddha in the Trenches Subtitle: The Timeless System for Developing Unshakable Performance Under Pressure Author: Dr. Steve Taubman Narrator: Steve Taubman Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: Powertrack Publications Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Why do only a small percentage of people rise to the very top of their fields while the majority barely cope with their stress? Why do some entrepreneurs remain optimistic and filled with boundless energy, while most become exhausted, overwhelmed, and burned out? Why do some health care professionals thrive under pressure, while most are crushed by it? In this important book, mindset management expert Dr. Steve Taubman, DCC, explores the dilemma of how most suffer while certain peak performers thrive under the very same conditions. Whether you're an overworked nurse battling job fatigue or a loss of empathy, a sales professional struggling with the challenges of selling in the digital age, a business leader buried under regulations, deadlines, and staffing problems, or a police officer trying to maintain calm authority while de-escalating tense situations, this book has the answers you seek. Buddha in the Trenches will show you how to take control of your mind, achieve serenity in chaotic moments, and exceed your goals by bringing clarity and focus to your work. Nothing is more vital to success than a balanced mind, and this book provides a roadmap to achieving and maintaining that state. Listen to it and you will be changed! Members Reviews: Too often what is commonly known as a good habit is hard to start and even harder to ... (This is Tom, her husband writing this) I am a long time, small business advisor and suggest that anyone in business - especially at the smallest of size starting a business - read this book. Upon the first few chapters, I assumed this to be another often spoken prose to common sense. But take note. Too often what is commonly known as a good habit is hard to start and even harder to maintain. We all know this. And we also know that many of us fail to add, change or maintain behaviors that we once thought were simple to implement - even at the prodding of others like parents, spouses or friends. Steve presents a simple yet formulaic recipe to gain the mental acuity one needs to perform better in business and, yes, in your personal life. This is an easy read but chuck full of tidbits that you can measure against your own slate of behaviors. When I thought I had this nailed, I finished reading the book and looked back at my daily regime. I determined that I could improve myself another 25-30%. Ouch. This alone gives one to serious thought about the tools one possesses when the next difficult situation hurls itself forward. Jam packed with strategies for thriving mentally and emotionally during tough times. A MUST read! Buddha In The Trenches provides you with a proven system for managing your thoughts and emotions so that you can make the most of your skills, talents, and abilities to pursue, and achieve, your purpose and goals and leave a legacy that will far outlive you. The book is fun to read, with lots of great stories and examples that will inspire and encourage you. Dr. Steve is not only brilliant at helping people thrive through challenges and adversity, he is also a great guy.

Visions of Vocation Audiobook by Steven Garber

Title: Visions of Vocation Subtitle: Common Grace for the Common Good Author: Steven Garber Narrator: David Cochran Heath Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 07-09-15 Publisher: InterVarsity Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Vocation is following our calling to seek the welfare of the world we live in. And in helping the world to flourish, strangely, mysteriously, we find that we flourish, too. Filled with stories of global leaders and ordinary people, Steven Garber's book is for everyone who wants to discover the virtue of vocation. Members Reviews: Vocation and the Common Good reviewed by Bill Pence of CoramDeotheBlog.com Steven Garber was the featured speaker at my Covenant Seminary graduation in May, 2014. Not long afterwards, my wife and I read and discussed this book. It is best read slowly, as he weaves in stories of the band Jars of Clay, Jena Lee Nardella, Wendell Berry, U2, John Le Carre, J.I. Packer, and many others, books and films in this wonderful book. Reading it had the feel of having a conversation with him in a coffee shop or living room. Garber is the principal of the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation & Culture, which is focused on reframing the way people understand life, especially the meaning of vocation and the common good. They see that vocation is integral, not incidental, to the mission Dei. He writes that this book invites the reader to âcome and seeâ that this vision of vocation is being lived out by men and women who are committed to a faith that shapes vocation that shapes culture. He writes that there is not a more difficult task that human beings face than to know the world and still love it. A recurring question that he asks throughout the book is: âKnowing what I know, what will I doâ? He indicates that in thousands of important and different ways, each story is formed by asking and answering that question. Among the other penetrating questions he asks in the book are: â How does one learn to see with the eyes of the heart, to see oneself as responsible for the way the world is and isnât? â Can we know the world and still love it? I enjoyed his profiles of people who chose to love with honesty and integrity. He writes that those people âsee themselves as implicated in the way the world is and ought to be. They see themselves as having vocations that call them into life, into the world â into a way of knowing that implicates them, for loves sake.â He writes that they are people who have vocations in imitation of the vocation of God knowing the worst about the world, and still loving it. They learn to live in the tension of life, living with what is and longing for what will be for the sake of the world. He writes that they become âhints of hopeâ. He shares his belief that the most important question is âWhat do we love?â He states that what we believe and how we live is formed by the way we answer that question. This is a rich book. Read it slowly, and ponder what Garber writes. It will be time well spent. Companion for the Vocational Journey I wrote this endorsement for Visions of Vocation prior to the publication of the book in 2014. This book is even more important today as we see so much lostness in our world and a deep hunger for meaning in our lives. Its sound theology and rich, tender story telling draws us in and gives us hope. "Visions of Vocation calls its readers to make a commitment to a journey, one of calling and courage that will challenge not just your mind but also your heart and your soul.

Annis and Gray reveal, for the first time, survey results of over 100,000 in-depth interviews of men and women executives in over 60 Fortune 500 companies. Listeners will discover the Eight Gender Blind Spots, the false assumptions and opinions men and women have of each other, and in many ways, believe of themselves. Through research, science, and stories, Annis and Gray expose the blind spots that cause our misunderstandings, miscommunications, mistrust, resentment, and frustrations at work. Listeners will discover the biology and social influences that compel men and women to think and act as they do, and direct how they communicate, solve problems, make decisions, resolve conflict, lead others, and deal with stress, enabling them to achieve greater success and satisfaction in their professional and personal lives. Work With Me is the definitive work-life relational guide, filled with "ah-ha!" moments and discoveries that will remove the blind spots and enable men and women to work and succeed together. Members Reviews: my opinion much of the information on the different ways men and women think is not new. this book did present a more modern set of example behaviors and was mostly directed toward the work place, as expected because of the title. in the beginning it really seemed to put men down but as it progressed the writing started to have a more neutral approach to discussing the behavior of men. I did find the behavior examples a little closer to older men and not so much Gen x or y, and titled toward men in leadership positions. all in, it was a good listen and provided plenty of examples of how men and women can consider each others brain biology to develop better relationships in the work place. I prefer "Women Are From Venus, Men Are Mars" I think "Women Are From Venus, Men Are From Mars" is a better book in understanding differences in communication styles between men and women and provides useful techniques. "Work With Me" contained huge sweeping stereotypes, like offering help to a man suggests that you think he's incapable of doing it himself. I think plenty of men and women are willing to accept help. The book provided some interesting perspective on dialogs -- she says "Have we considered the impact?", what she means "This could be a problem that we're ignoring." However, it didn't provide that much information in improving communication.

A Perfect Mess Audiobook by Eric Abrahamson, David H. Freedman

Title: A Perfect Mess Subtitle: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder Author: Eric Abrahamson, David H. Freedman Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-06 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: With a spectacular array of true stories and case studies of the hidden benefits of mess, A Perfect Mess overturns the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, organization, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. Drawing on examples from business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abrahamson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones. Applying this idea on scales both large (government, society) and small (desktops, garages), A Perfect Mess uncovers the ways messiness can trump neatness, and will help you assess the right amount of disorder for any system. Critic Reviews: "The advice is good and the arguments intriguing." (Publishers Weekly) "Flying utterly in the face of conventional wisdom, the authors turn the world of organization on its head to examine how messy systems can be more effective than highly organized ones." (Booklist) Members Reviews: The Anti-Martha Stewart I listened to this while (you've gotta love this) deep-cleaning and organizing my house. The author uses many of the same techniques to exlpain why a little mess is good for you that Malcolm Gladwell uses to explain why snap thinking is a good thing (See: Blink). State a thesis, throw in some facts, throw in some anecdotes, and throw in some interesting conjecture and you've got a book! Abrahamson doesn't have quite the finesse of Gladwell, but that still makes this an interesting read (or listen). It's really funny in some parts and makes me glad I have a little bit of a mess on my desk and in my home (I have a four year old, and to me, if you can't tell a child lives in a home where the child lives, you're doing something very wrong). However, while making statements about how the mind is evolutionarily set up to handle mess, he ignores the great stress that many people feel when confronted with the messiness of others. Maybe we can handle clutter well, but there is something to be said for laying out the outfit you're going to wear the next day or letting your employees know what is expected of them in the long term. On the whole, this book was entertaining and informative and certainly gives the reader a number of great excuses to NOT file, sort, arange, or organize. I think his editor may have taken this lesson too much to heart, though-it tends to hop around a lot and many of the stories are very non sequiter. Book was OK, hated the narration! It must just be me that finds Scott Brick such an annoying narrator, because he sure seems to be popular - certainly ubiquitous! This book did NOT require a DRAMATIC reading! And I wish someone would give him (and maybe ALL narrators) a list of hard-to-pronounce or uncommon words and names to prevent mispronunciations. He actually pronounced the name "Magliozzi" (Tom and Ray, of NPR's Car Talk) just like it's written, which is just WRONG and disrespectful to these two icons! This just shouldn't happen! Like some other reviewers, I downloaded this book to listen to while doing some Spring cleaning and it was fun to hear the "flip-side" of organizing while doing so. I didn't agree with a LOT of the author's premises, but it was still entertaining.

Where does Classrooms that Spark!: Recharge and Revive Your Teaching rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? One of the best! What does Andi Arndt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? It painted vivid pictures in my head. Any additional comments?

Inspirational The first chapter is out of date but the rest of the book is great! Not Worth Your Time or Money What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

What do you think your next listen will be? 5 Love Languages of Children What three words best describe Andi Arndts performance? Average What character would you cut from Classrooms that Spark!: Recharge and Revive Your Teaching? I wouldn't promote it at all. The whole book needs to be tossed.

How to Sell Yourself Audiobook by Ray Grose

Title: How to Sell Yourself Subtitle: Creating Success Series Author: Ray Grose Narrator: Colin Mace Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Everyone working in an organisation has seen unworthy executives advance up the corporate ladder while more competent alternatives have been overlooked. Why does this seemingly unfair situation occur over and over again? It is because many dedicated and competent executives concentrate on doing their jobs to the very best of their ability but fail to promote themselves as valuable organisational members. In particular they pay little attention to a fundamentally important factor in organisational success: their personal image - the picture that other people hold of them, made up from the quality of thousands of interpersonal interactions. How to Sell Yourself gives indispensable guidelines on how you can sell yourself, particularly how you can develop and manage your image for success. It illustrates how the correct image for an individual is rarely just a projection of personality, as successful executives purposefully design, manufacture and adapt their image appropriately for their position and to the culture of their organisation. Members Reviews: Very relevent Before listening to this book, I never realised how much was involved with selling yourself - but this was exactly what I needed to help me lift my image in my organisation. This is one I would definitely refer back to regularly. Valuable information Valuable information for those who want to market themselves at the workplace and keen to enhance their future career progression.

No - its a very basic book and written in a slightly patronising way Has Ambition put you off other books in this genre? No How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator makes this book sound like this is a school project If this book were a film would you go see it? No Any additional comments? Its a repetitive book; Ive listened to the authors other books and they are much much better. This one repeats content and does nothing to promote "ambition" - the clue is not in the title.

Title: Surviving Your Serengeti Subtitle: 7 Skills to Master Business and Life, A Fable of Self Discovery Author: Stefan Swanepoel Narrator: L. J. Ganser Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: As a brutal business environment meets a soft economy, business leaders and managers are looking for sources of both inspiration and survival. This compelling new fable offers a riveting tale of life in Africa's Serengeti and what lessons it holds for today's beleaguered business people and struggling society. The 1.5 million wildebeest rely on stubborn endurance and support from the herd to survive; the alligator is opportunistic; the cheetah is ruthlessly effective; the giraffe embodies grace; the lion is a master strategist; the mongoose is a risk-taker; and the elephant is an excellent communicator. Critic Reviews: "You'll actually know more about yourself after you read this book - it's one of a kind." (Ken Blanchard, author of The One Minute Manager) Members Reviews: Help with Business & Marriage in ONE BOOK! I was reluctant to listen to this book at first, thinking it would be another "Cute" business book with little substance. But by the second chapter I was hooked. This simple fable is loaded with powerful insight to your strengths and weaknesses. Amazingly, it is helping me with my real estate career AND it clarified a communication problem my wife and I have had since we were married! We now understand each other on an entirely different level and it's easy to remember and implement because of the story! Thank You Stefan! Download this audiobook now and listen to it today! Tim (Lion) & Karissa (Cheetah) Ramsey Great Business Fable! I just took a "safari of self-discovery"... ...and I never left home! Instead, I simply read this awesome new book, entitled "Surviving your Serengeti," written by internationally renowned speaker, educator, trainer and author Stefan Swanepoel. Through this safari of self-discovery, I did all of the following: First, I took the "What Animal Am I" quiz. There are y different animal types, each of which represents a unique personality dynamic, and by taking this quiz, you get your "What Animal Am I" results e-mailed to you immediately. I was somewhat surprised to learn that I am an "enterprising crocodile." Second, I learned about all of the other animals - the strategic lion, the efficient cheetah, the graceful giraffe, the risk-taking mongoose and the communicating elephant - and what those personality types were like. Just reading the descriptions of each opened my eyes to the wide array and spectrum of human psychological profiles, and really made me stop and think about how different and unique we really all are. Third, I learned something about myself that I did not know, I found myself thinking about the other personality types and how those people act, think, feel and are motivated, and I also found myself thinking about and analyzing how my personality type fit in with all the others.

Title: Lessons Learned: From a Corporate Guy Who Left His Job to Sell on Amazon Full Time Author: Robert Bagley III Narrator: Gregory Shinn Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-15 Publisher: Rb3 Solutions, LLC Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: This is a story of Robert Bagley's biography - his: family, faith, entrepreneurship, corporate sales experience, and then diving into being a full time reseller on Amazon and back to corporate America (due to "Lessons Learned") - putting his Amazon business back to part time. This is not a "how-to" book for how to sell on Amazon and Ebay, just sharing my story and a few best practices I learned along the way. Please don't purchase this book if you want a step-by-step tutorial on how to be a re-seller on Amazon and Ebay. As a young professional, Robert Bagley climbed and overcame many corporate mountains, eventually earning a high six-figure income with several Fortune 500 companies. Still, something was missing from his career and he knew that he needed to add a small business to his lifestyle. This would bring a change that not only involved a lot of personal risks, but a good amount of faith as well. And, not just faith in himself. And so he embarked on what would prove to be the most incredible game-changing season of his life. You'll be inspired, motivated, challenged, and moved-to-action by Robert's life-story and how selling on Amazon and eBay pulled his career toward a whole new path of becoming an ecommerce entrepreneur. Members Reviews: Not What It Seems Any additional comments? The title is misleading. Robert Bagley is a Born-Again Christian. Dont get me wrong, I have nothing against being a Born-Again Christian. But, it has no place in a book about selling online (or this information should have been included in the title or description). He spends time preaching and testifying instead of teaching the listener about selling on Amazon. If I want a book on religion I would have purchased one.

Leap Audiobook by Tess Vigeland

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/524/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Leap Subtitle: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want Author: Tess Vigeland Narrator: Tess Vigeland Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Until recently Tess Vigeland was a longtime host of public radio's Marketplace. It was a rewarding, high-status job, and Tess was very good at it - but she'd begun to feel restless. Without any definite, clear sense of what she wanted to do next (but an absolute certainty that what she'd been doing was no longer truly satisfying), she walked away from her dream job and into a vast unknown. Suddenly she was no longer "Marketplace's Tess Vigeland"; she was just Tess Vigeland. For the multitude of Americans who change jobs midcareer (by choice or circumstance), the growing legions of freelance workers, and the entrepreneurially minded who see self-employment as an increasingly more appealing and viable option, Tess Vigeland has created a personal and well-researched account of leaping without a net. With her signature humor, she writes honestly about the fear, uncertainty, and risk involved in leaving the traditional workforce - but also the excitement, resources, and possibilities that are on the other side. Leap is also about finding a new definition of success. Tess poses the important question, "Who am I without my job?" She shares the accounts of people who struggled with this question before and after they took their own leaps of faith, and they ended up finding out more about themselves than they'd thought possible. Success doesn't have to be measured by salary or a traditional career path, as so many of us are conditioned to think, but by your own happiness and fulfillment. Part memoir and part field guide, this book offers a funny, thoughtful, and provocative look at how to find satisfaction and success when pursuing a career less ordinary. Members Reviews: LEAP- A story of discovery LEAP- In this world of uncertainty, Ms. Vigeland shares the story of her journey from climbing the ladder of her chosen vocation to stepping back to evaluate the 'Who?' and 'Why?' of her own story. She also shares the stories of others who have 'Taken their own LEAP'. I appreciated her conversational writing style. As I listened to this audiobook I felt a certain connectedness to the author and her experiences. A good friend inviting you to share in their journey. Everything Mrs Vigeland says is true, but ... All the stages of emotions, everything about our identity, and the fact that we loose and find ourselves by leaping Mrs Vigeland says is so very true. She describes a leap very well.. And she is Tess Vigeland, so obviously the performance is good and her points are extremely interesting. But she is so repetitive, maybe she would have needed to go further into her leap journey before finishing the book ? Its a long jump indeed ...

Successin business and in lifeis all about relationships. In this powerful guide to reaching out to others, Spaulding takes Dale Carnegies classic philosophy to the next levelhow to create lasting relationships that go well beyond mere superficial contacts and second floor relationships. Tommy Spaulding learned at a very young age that he was not destined to be an academic star. He may have gotten a 4.0, but only if he added his high-school and college GPAs together. The reason he found academics so challenging, he discovered later, is that Tommy is dyslexic. But his dyslexia didnt hold him backin fact, it helped him to develop the talents he did have. For Tommy is a natural leader; he realized early on that he had a unique ability to connect with others, whatever their age or background. As a teenager, he was given a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People by his father, and it quickly became his bible. He became a national finalist for the DECA Entrepreneurial Business competition in high school, and ran successfully for senior class president. He went on to become the CEO of Up With People, one of the largest nonprofit international leadership organizations in the world. At every step, Tommy learned that the secret to getting ahead was reaching out for the support and insight and influence of others. None of us achieve great success alone. We need the help of other people. In this candid, revealing book, Tommy expands upon the principles that Dale Carnegie outlined 75 years ago, and shows us how to take them one step further to accomplish the impossible in our lives and careers. Members Reviews: Another networking book Very interesting to see how a professional networker thinks. Similar to ???Never Eat Alone??? by Keith Ferrazzi in that these guys seem over the top in terms of time and effort they put into networking and building relationships. There are some tips one can use especially if you want to put that kind of effort in but many of the tips are common sense. Nothing New Here This year's (2010) model of basic psychology 101 as practiced by and through motivational speakers who make lots of $ off the genre, but really don't offer anything new. Unless you listen to this stuff as 'motivational' caffeine, save your money. snoozer, good ideas but just drages. Started out interesting and quickly became a sleeper. Was not able to finish it and with a 2hr commute I can finish almost anything. Would love to get my credit back on this one. Its for 10th graders Any additional comments? I can't say what could have made this book better but I know the book has so little substance and no depth. It a very good book for school kids who are starting to enter the real world. The book has very little to offer for a seasoned professional. Tommy Spaulding Talking about Tommy Spaulding This book desperately needs editing down. Far too many words for too little content.

Title: Multicultural Manners: Essential Rules of Etiquette for the 21st Century Author: Norine Dresser Narrator: Kelly Birch Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-31-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Your friend's mother-in-law is visiting from Korea. When greeting her, do you bow, shake hands, or kiss her on both cheeks? The meeting with his international customers is going well for the corporate president - until he gives the thumbs-up sign. Why? You welcome your new neighbors with a bouquet of your prizewinning daffodils. Yet your beautiful yellow blossoms are met with looks of shock and horror. Why? Discover the answers in this incisive, award-winning guide to etiquette, now thoroughly revised to reflect today's truly multicultural society. Both highly informative and entertaining, Multicultural Manners gives you the understanding you need, the perfect words to say, and the correct behavior to use in a wide range of cross-cultural situations. The book features completely updated etiquette guidelines with special emphasis on post-September 11 culture clashes, as well as a brand-new section that demystifies unfamiliar cultures in the news. Norine Dresser identifies key cross-cultural hot spots and suggests methods that foster respect for diversity. You'll discover: Members Reviews: Helpful book. Worth the read. Any additional comments? The book was helpful. The author did the best that a journalist can do. It would have been better if she spent her life traveling the world and had her own perspectives rather than reporting the stories of others (which limits her own understanding). However, I understand she wrote for a newspaper for 20+ years on multicultural manners. She did do a good job, and I did learn from her findings. Combining Norine Dresser's Multicultural Manners with Terri Morrison's Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands and a diverse range of travel experiences, and you're a pretty well-rounded individual.

Title: Communicating to Win Subtitle: In Life, Love, and Business Author: Bob Paff Narrator: Bob Paff Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 12-03-15 Publisher: Communicating To Win, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: Communicating to Win: In Life, Love, and Business empowers people at their core so they can effectively communicate in all aspects of their lives from a place of ultimate confidence to bring about the success they desire in themselves and others. Unfortunately, many are not communicating well or even at all, often retreating due to fear: fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of embarrassment, and fear of confrontation. We let those fears immobilize us, denying the possibility of better lives, careers, and relationships. However, there is a solution. There is a way to take control of these fears, and it starts with learning how to effectively communicate what you want first and foremost with yourself. Whether you're communicating with your wife, your children, your business partner, your in-laws, or your neighbors, on a daily basis we all have to communicate. Communicating to Win covers all areas of our lives: socioeconomic, religious, political, business, and personal to empower you. The decision is yours to make, and while we cannot control much of the outside world, we can control ourselves: what and how we think, what we say and how we say it. Members Reviews: Key words: Honesty and integrity. I was blown away by the authors ability to keep it interesting from the first chapter to the last. The author clearly knows a lot about communication. I admire his ability to explain the topic in a practical way. A great listen! I appreciate the messages and the need for making direct requests of your family and co workers. His voice was calming and entertaining at the same time. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

A Life at Work Audiobook by Thomas Moore

Title: A Life at Work Subtitle: The Joy of Discovering What You Were Born to Do Author: Thomas Moore Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-08 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: In exploring the strong desire in all of us to feel fulfilled by our work, Moore offers no charts or questionnaires but rather a personal, contemplative guide to traversing obstacles such as inflated egos, despair, and fear that prevent us from finding purpose in our careers. He also shares the struggles of great thinkers and artists who grappled with uncertainty before finding their calling. For those who feel dissatisfied and question the path they've chosen, this poignant, practical work will help them discover new answers. Critic Reviews: "The book's governing metaphor, alchemy, is often apt; Moore notes that both alchemy and finding a life's work require patience through a long refining process, and both are about the process, not just the end result." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Wish I had it when I was in the thick of things! I find audiobooks the best way to enjoy a classic like A Life at Work because of my increasingly age-and-computer-dimmed eyesight. I wish that I had had this book when I was in the thick of things--I think it might have helped, if I could have relaxed enough to take it all in! Even now, it makes me think about the work and career choices I made and how they might have been different. The pressure of the need for money and pressures from society and family make it difficult for many people to choose work that is good for them. I didn't know myself very well at all when I was young, and I don't now, so this is a book that provokes thought and self-examination. I am still going through it, but I wanted to say something about my impressions midway through it. This book is a marker on my journey of self-exploration and I am glad I bought it and hope it will help you think a bit more about who you are, which is really a life-long process of investigation... Thomas Moore speaks to the heart... I can not think of any writer that speaks to me more than Thomas Moore. Thomas Moore is a must for the spiritual life.

If I do, you will not learn anything...however, this eBook focuses also on how to be a better coach/mentor, and what coachees should know about coaching before they go ahead and shop for one.

In 1989, Steven Covey published a business book, or was it a self-help book? Actually, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a hybrid. Like a Toyota Prius or a Ford Focus blends electricity and gasoline to maximize efficiency, one can blend the way he or she conducts business and leads their personal lives to benefit both. The two are intertwined and when you lead life with poise, astuteness, dignity, and a sense of purpose, success can be achieved. The paradigm or way to think about things is changed. A habit is a pattern derived from frequent repetition. It becomes an unconscious choice to act a certain way with oneself or with others. A habit can be as simple as waking up at dawn or saying thank you when a person lends you a favor. Covey puts forth that all successful people share these seven habits, which become an integral part of a person's character. By striving to implement these character traits into our own lives, we can be effective and successful too. Changing our habit's to mirror those in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is not simple. A process may require baby steps when our instincts tell us to take giant leaps. Fortitude is required but the payoff is enormous. Members Reviews: Good little snippet of the main book What made the experience of listening to Summary of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.Covey the most enjoyable? My boss recommended it to me and decided to use this summary to see if it was worth buying the main book. Answer is yes it was and the snippet is a good reference to come back to as a reminder every now and then as its only 30mins long. What did you like best about this story? Simple explanations, easy to get on with. Which scene did you most enjoy? NA Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Title: How to Start Your Own Bookkeeping Business Subtitle: And Be Successful Author: Lisa Newton Narrator: Lisa Newton Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-14 Publisher: Booglez Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Business, Career Skills Publisher's Summary: How to set up, create and start your own bookkeeping business from scratch. And be successful. This audiobook is by UK author Lisa Newton who started her own bookkeeping business for 150 in 2004. She used 100 from her overdraft and got 50 'investment' from her mum - and made it work. It is an action-packed, tip-filled, no-nonsense approach to how to start, what to do, things to look out for, pitfalls to avoid and its guidance will help you to avoid the expensive, painful time-consuming mistakes which most freelance independent bookkeepers make. There are plenty of horror stories to keep you on your toes and plenty of useful content to help you to make that transition from full time employee to full time business owner. Amongst other things this audiobook covers:- getting started- products, price, place, promotion- dealing with clients, suppliers, subcontractors- practical exercises for you to try- and a whole lot more. This isn't theoretical or written by some lecturer. This is written by someone who has been there, done it and franchised the bookkeeping business. And won the Bookkeeping Franchisor of the Year (BKN award) in 2012 AND 2013. What you'll soon realise (for those of you thinking of starting this kind of business), is that there are a lot of HATERS out there... and the minute you start to become successful - they'll want to find a way to tear you down. But it doesn't matter...its actually part of the fun and games which this audiobook also covers. Be flattered when people make an attempt to sabotage your efforts (be it a bad review or to try and get information out of your team) to 'find out how you're doing it'...its all happened to the author, and it is to be expected when you're causing a ripple, and doing something that works.... Members Reviews: Great Listen Overall the book gave valuable information on starting a business & even in the startup phase somethings I didn't realize. Would recommend! Not worth the money What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? To start with it sounds like she has done her own recording as there are repeated sentences and strange noises. There are few god points there but the endless sale pitch for her MLM company shouldn't be published in a book/audio you pay for. What could Lisa Newton have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? She should have taken it to a editor as a good editor would have pointed out what should be in there and how to say it. What didnt you like about Lisa Newtons performance? Lisa comes around a bit arrogant and full of her self. God on her she is doing so well but she doesn't have to mention it numerous times. I didn't buy it to listen to her brag on about it. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? I felt sorry for the people that spends money on it. There is a need for him about starting up Bookkeeping business but it had to be of a good quality. Any additional comments? Don't teach people time management when you are bad agency a thing yourself. People do what you do not what you say. Could got away with it if she hadn't told all these stories of a bad timekeeping Very useful I found this well thought out and it offers a really good grounding on the ups and downs of starting a bookkeeper business. It has given me ideas and highlighted pitfalls I havent thought of.
