With an optimistic, youthful tone, narrator Mike Chamberlain delivers this exceptional lesson on getting more out of life. His enthusiasm is deep and informed and is a perfect vehicle for presenting the beauty and simplicity of the author’s thinking. Kelly’s latest volume of personal growth wisdom reminds us that work-life balance requires more than spending less time at work. The commitment we make to each part of life, work included, should correspond with what we value and how each activity reflects what is important to us. With provocative questions throughout, the audio offers strategies for increasing the level of satisfaction we get from all parts of life and for monitoring the energy we get from the things we do.

An exciting, inspiring, and provocative audiobook.
This memoir, environmental manifesto, and recounting of adventures in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest is a compelling listen. Rosolie tells the story of the Junglekeepers organization, dedicated to protecting the rainforest, with a heart-stopping pace. Rosolie and his team capture some of the world’s largest anacondas, climb to the top of the jungle canopy, fight for the survival of rare macaws, and meet the Indigenous Mashco Piro tribe. The Junglekeepers bring travelers to this most remote part of the planet where they have built the “world’s tallest treehouse.” Sadly, after overcoming threats of logging and mining and saving more than 100,000 acres of wilderness, the organization now faces drug dealers who want to use the land for their own purposes.

Review Posted Online: yesterday
Rosa Escoda offers a warm, inviting narration of advice on living a well-read life. Hwang, author of the novel WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP, reflects on her relationship to books and suggests ways to fit more reading into our lives, as well as ways to read more broadly and more deeply. It's all done with a light and personal touch--Hwang talks about why a book club might be a good fit (or not), and about how she tackled the problem when she found her bookshelves starting to overflow. Shanna Tan's translation from the Korean sounds smooth and natural, and Escoda, with a lovely British accent, pronounces Korean words fluently. This is an audiobook for booklovers, and it'll make you eager to find your next read, or listen. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
