In this energizing personal development guide, HuffPost writer, blogger, and executive coach Rob White shows how we can get rid of our "misunderstandings" about ourselves and embrace an identity that affirms our best qualities. Bruce Barlow's flinty performance gives muscular optimism to the author's message. As he engages listeners with his appealing voice and pitch-perfect interpretations, his perfectly modulated enthusiasm will keep them tuned into this rather traditional personal growth advice. The author is an intelligent teacher whose broad message is to stay in control and learn to be the maestro of how we think about ourselves and direct our energies. With its intuitive steps for recognizing when our initiative is being highjacked, this is effective immersion therapy that focuses on how to navigate life.

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.

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
