 Free Download Living Like You Mean It: Use the Wisdom and Power of Your Emotions to Get the Life You Really Want by Ronald J. Frederick, Brian Holden, Tantor Audio English | June 11, 2019 | ISBN: B07SJ9G6FN | 6 hours and 35 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 362 Mb In Living Like You Mean It, author Ronald J. Frederick does a brilliant job of describing why people are so afraid of their emotions and how this fear creates a variety of problems in their lives. While the problems are different, the underlying issue is often the same. At the core of their distress is what Dr. Frederick refers to as feelings phobia. Whether it's the experience of love, joy, anger, sadness, or surprise, our inborn ability to be a fully feeling person has been hijacked by fear - and it's fear that's keeping us from a better life. The book will help listeners take an honest look at themselves and recognize whether and how they are afraid of their feelings. It then moves on to explore the origins of fear of feeling and introduces a four-part program for overcoming the fear: (1) become aware of and learn to recognize feelings - anger, sadness, joy, love, fear, guilt/shame, surprise, disgust, (2) master techniques for taming the fear, (3) let the feeling work its way all the way through to its resolution, and (4) open up and put those feelings into words and communicate them confidently. With wisdom, humor, and compassion, the book uses stories and examples to help listeners see that overcoming feelings phobia is the key to a better life and more fulfilling relationships.  Free Download Little Bets: How Breakthrough Ideas Emerge from Small Discoveries by Peter Sims, John Allen Nelson, Tantor Audio English | August 08, 2011 | ISBN: B005GBVH5K | 5 hours and 2 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 277 Mb What do Apple CEO Steve Jobs, comedian Chris Rock, prize-winning architect Frank Gehry, the story developers at Pixar films, and the Army Chief of Strategic Plans all have in common? Best-selling author Peter Sims found that all of them have achieved breakthrough results by methodically taking small, experimental steps in order to discover and develop new ideas. Rather than believing they have to start with a big idea or plan a whole project out in advance, trying to foresee the final outcome, they make a series of little bets about what might be a good direction, learning from lots of little failures and from small but highly significant wins that allow them to happen upon unexpected avenues and arrive at extraordinary outcomes. Based on deep and extensive research, including more than 200 interviews with leading innovators, Sims discovered that productive, creative thinkers and doers--from Ludwig van Beethoven to Thomas Edison and Amazon's Jeff Bezos--practice a key set of simple but ingenious experimental methods, such as failing quickly to learn fast, tapping into the genius of play, and engaging in highly immersed observation, that free their minds, opening them up to making unexpected connections and perceiving invaluable insights. These methods also unshackle them from the constraints of overly analytical thinking and linear problem solving that our education places so much emphasis on, as well as from the fear of failure, all of which thwart so many of us in trying to be more innovative. ![Limits to Growth The 30–Year Update [Audiobook]](https://i124.fastpic.org/big/2024/0929/55/_631a8dc6adc9648ca332c9295124cc55.webp) Free Download Jorgen Randers, Dennis Meadows, Donella Meadows, Tia Rider (Narrator), "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" English | ASIN: B0DCGS7W2N | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~10:50:00 | 298 MB In 1972, three scientists from MIT created a computer model that analyzed global resource consumption and production. Their results shocked the world and created stirring conversation about global 'overshoot,' or resource use beyond the carrying capacity of the planet. Now, preeminent environmental scientists Donnella Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and Dennis Meadows have teamed up again to update and expand their original findings in The Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Global Update. Meadows, Randers, and Meadows are international environmental leaders recognized for their groundbreaking research into early signs of wear on the planet. Citing climate change as the most tangible example of our current overshoot, the scientists now provide us with an updated scenario and a plan to reduce our needs to meet the carrying capacity of the planet.

In the wake of his diagnosis with throat cancer, Roberts seeks answers with sharp new urgency.

What compelled Eric Shipton to return, five times, to the ridges of Mt. Everest, Descriptionting the mountain's most treacherous territory years before Hillary and Tenzing's famous ascent? What drove Bill Stone to dive 3,000 feet underground into North America's deepest cave? What motivates the explorers we most admire, who are willing to embark on perilous journeys and push the limits of the human body? And what is the future of adventure in a world we have mapped and trodden from end to end? ![Likeable Badass How Women Get the Success They Deserve [Audiobook]](https://i124.fastpic.org/big/2024/0929/38/aa58636e5b7517f0273e019291267038.webp) Free Download Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CTNT7JH4 | 2024 | 7 hours and 1 minute | M4B@128 kbps | 392 MB Author: Alison Fragale Narrator: Alison Fragale Behavioral scientist Alison Fragale offers powerful new insights and a practical playbook for women to advance in any workplace, full of tips, tricks, and strategies to help secure that elusive corner office.

![Life and Death of the American Worker The Immigrants Taking on America's Largest Meatpacking Company [Audiobook]](https://i124.fastpic.org/big/2024/0929/f0/3b87f68f916a6c7065a3d8dc50e6f9f0.webp) Free Download Life and Death of the American Worker: The Immigrants Taking on America's Largest Meatpacking Company (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CZMC48W1 | 2024 | 5 hours and 25 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 304 MB Author: Alice Driver Narrator: Lori Felipe-Barkin Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award, an explosive exposé of the toxic labor practices at the largest meatpacking company in America and the immigrant workers who had the courage to fight back. On June 27, 2011, a deadly chemical accident took place inside the Tyson Foods chicken processing plant in Springdale, Arkansas, where the company is headquartered. The company quickly covered it up although the spill left their employees injured, sick, and terrified. Over the years, Arkansas-based reporter Alice Driver was able to gain the trust of the immigrant workers who survived the accident. They rewarded her persistence by giving her total access to their lives. Having spent hours in their kitchens and accompanying them to doctor's appointments, Driver has memorialized in these pages the dramatic lives of husband and wife Plácido and Angelina, who liked to spend weekends planting seeds from their native El Salvador in their garden; father and son Martín and Gabriel, who migrated from Mexico at different times and were trying to patch up their relationship; and many other immigrants who survived the chemical accident in Springdale that day. During the course of Alice's reporting, the COVID-19 pandemic struck the community, and the workers were forced to continue production in unsafe conditions, watching their colleagues get sick and die one by one. These essential workers, many of whom only speak Spanish and some of whom are illiterate-all of whom suffer the health consequences of Tyson's negligence-somehow found the strength and courage to organize and fight back, culminating in a lawsuit against Tyson Foods, the largest meatpacking company in America. Richly detailed, fiercely honest, and deeply reported, Life and Death of the American Worker will forever change the way we think about the people who prepare our food.
