In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed - preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work - but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.

Two New York Times best-selling authors unveil new research showing what meditation can really do for the brain.

Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard J Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us.

Couldn't Make it Past the Two Hour Mark
- De E. A. Jacques en 12-14-17
Must read meditation book for those interested in science.
Revisado: 01-27-23
I really like the way the book approaches the topic of meditation and doesn’t claim to know everything. The methods used to present the authors findings are rigorous, thoughtful, and inspire further research.

Great ideas often come from a simple spark: A soccer player on the New Zealand national team notices all the unused wool his country produces and figures out a way to turn them into shoes (Allbirds). A former Buddhist monk decides the very best way to spread his mindfulness teachings is by launching an app (Headspace). A sandwich cart vendor finds a way to reuse leftover pita bread and turns it into a multimillion-dollar business (Stacy’s Pita Chips).

Cool history yet somewhat depressing. The writing is at times uninteresting. The things you want to know more about get left out

The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

This book tells it like it is. The are usually not very many easy answers in business, it's often a case of pick the lesser of two evils, yet Ben finds a way to share and inspire individuals going through this process.

Simple explanation of issues at hand that must be done right, if you want to start your own venture. By no means does it explain the details of the start-up world but it does do a great job outlining the guiding principals.

The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power. The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners - a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life - has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life.

Please never write hymns again
Revisado: 06-03-13
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Good book, but falls short of developing the story of Oryx and Crake further.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Most interesting: synoptic view of the catastrophe. Least interesting: the gardener hymns
What three words best describe the narrators’s voice?
Lively, pleasant, engaging
Do you think The Year of the Flood needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, but I wished there were more to the ending of this story, sorta leaves you at the same place you ended with Oryx and Crake
Any additional comments?
Please do not include poorly written and performed original music in this audiobook. Had to skip the hymns to keep from giving up on the book.
