Bruce Feiler's latest audiobook delves into the phenomenon of "workquakes," voluntary and involuntary disruptions to one's work life. With his pleasant, engaging voice, Feiler smoothly guides listeners through many theories related to the past, present, and future of work, backed by a wealth of relevant life stories he has collected and analyzed. With his snappy pace and enthusiasm for his subject, Feiler presents a treasure trove of fascinating research on work, coupled with meaningful challenges for listeners to ponder. Those familiar with his previous audiobook on "lifequakes" will recognize several concepts, including the importance of constructing one's own narrative. Serious listeners might want to have a note-taking device handy to capture the lessons. Overall, this enlightening and entertaining listen delivers an enriching experience.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

An important status update on the planet, conveyed with urgency.
Crawford narrates his audiobook about the consequences of growth at all costs. The history of humanity's extraction of the earth’s natural resources has reflected the premise that any concerns resulting from constant consumption are tomorrow's problem. In a consistently thoughtful and informed voice, Crawford makes clear that the time to take action is now. Listeners are provided an elemental framework to understand the environmental stakes. First-person accounts of phosphate mining, black markets for sand, and attempts to corral melting icebergs toward water-deprived ports give a succinct account of what's happening. Crawford relays his reporting and insights with an efficient, serious tone.
