Title: Just Give Up: Confessions of a Winner with Nothing to Prove

Author: Mitch Vandell

Narrator: Jack Nolan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-21-17

Publisher: Vandell House

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Just Give Up on projecting fantasies about yourself and pretending to live up to them.

Reject setting goals and making judgments about how good you are and instead just do what you want.

The only ones even taking notice are those less successful than you, are they really who you are looking to impress? Daring to fail is the new winning - doing what you want without fear of how you think people will judge you - even if that means getting a stripper in Brazil pregnant.

Happiness can only come from acceptance.

Stop resisting.

Just Give Up and be a winner!

About the Author

Growing up, despite attending prestigious private schools and graduating with dual Master's degrees, Vandell could not hold down any job past the notice period. Having reached middle-age with absolutely nothing to show for it, everything he has ever attempted has been a flop. Yet, the internationally-failed author and musician describes his life as one long and constant climax. This inspired him to become a motivational speaker to teach the philosophies from his failed self-help book about achieving career success.

Vandell quickly discovered that sharing his countless mega-flops and fiascoes was what motivated participants the most. The unintended result was people reevaluating their relationship with failure and achieving more by no longer being held back from giving their best, doing what they want. Not focusing on how you think people see you frees you to do what you like and find out who you are.

Critic Reviews:

"A dim sum feast of perceptive and amusing morsels." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Members Reviews:

Purchase this book! (No, I do not have a personal relationship with the author...)

This book is one of the wittiest, yet still serious books for the spiritual pilgrim. It operates on at least two levels. First, the humor is nonstop. Wes Nisker is a master of one liners and small puns. Second, if one reads with a bit more intentionality and stops to make connections with the figures and wisdom traditions represented here, there is some sacred depth to be plumbed as well: laughter IS theology in some circumstances. I highly recommend the book. I first stumbled across this gem many moons ago in its original incarnation. This latest version still meets a high standard.

Good Medicine

Okay,I took that title from Gary Snyder's blurb on the back cover, but its apt.The author also refers to it as a kind of survival guide for our troubled times.In it, he blends quotes by everyone from The Buddha to Groucho Marx, Lily Tomlin to Gandhi,Kafka to William Burroughs and William Blake, "crazy" visionaries with wise and humorous perspective and ties them together in a fun and insightful way.This is a new edition of his original Crazy Wisdom which at the time I purchased several copies of and handed out to friends.Therapeutic fun

Very thought provoking

Very good for those wanting to explore alternative philosophies to the traditional western ideals. Great use of a wide variety of sources from American thinkers to Buddhist monks to Islamic authors

Excellent Book

I have read this book myself so I knew it was an excellent gift for my sister. I would strongly recommend this book.

Provocative non-answers to the unanswerables

Clever take on the big questions with a (rightful) Eastern Philosophy bias.

Title: The Contested Legacy of Ayn Rand

Subtitle: Truth and Toleration in Objectivism

Author: David Kelley

Narrator: Scott R. Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-17

Publisher: The Atlas Society

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Ayn Rand's philosophical novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged made her the most controversial author of her age. Her works have drawn millions of fans and continue to sell at a breathtaking pace. Their impact on American culture runs from libertarian politics to the self-esteem movement in psychology to the rugged individualism of Silicon Valley and the Internet. Rand also launched a movement of intellectuals committed to her philosophy of Objectivism. While it has grown dramatically since Rand's death in 1982, however, the Objectivist movement has also fractured into rival camps whose differences over doctrine and strategy are compounded by competition for leadership and bitter accusations of heresy.

In Truth and Toleration, philosopher David Kelley analyzes the conflicts that led him to break ranks with orthodox Objectivists and create an independent branch of the movement. Originally published in 1990 as a manifesto, this work has been revised as an analysis of the principles of intellectual collaboration - the terms on which intellectuals and activists can work together in a common cause. Going beyond the immediate issues, Kelley discusses the nature of individual responsibility for the spread of ideas and for their historical consequences. He offers a new argument for toleration based on a non-relativistic theory of truth. He describes the nature of tribalism among intellectuals, showing how the troubled legacy of Ayn Rand has followed a pattern similar to the not-so-civil wars among followers of other original and charismatic thinkers such as Marx and Freud. In a postscript for the second edition, Kelley reviews the growth in Objectivist scholarship and the influence of Rand's ideas over the past decade.

Truth and Toleration is an engaging introduction to the Objectivist movement, its core ideas, and its central fissures.

Members Reviews:

Of biases and truth

I very much enjoyed reading this well-crafted, well-written, book of 128 pages

including index and notes. It is very understandable and the prose is excellent.

For me it was a high watermark on how civilized people

should respond to hostile, abusive, verbal and written attacks. To me it's not

only important that people learn how to agree, but that they also learn how

to disagree - AND remain civilized human beings. The author comes across

as being both intellectually, as well as, emotionally mature.

This is a book without rancour. It is a book in which someone can ruthlessly

assault Dr. Kelley's character and then call his followers, "snarling wimps,"

and the author does not return with a like volley of malevolence. Instead, he

searches for underlying principles and truth.

One would think that such vicious attacks would come from the enemies of

Objectivism, not from its guardians and supporters!

Renewed my excitement for Objectivism.

... I actually found _The Contested Legacy of Ayn Rand: Truth and Toleration in Objectivism_ far from dull. Why? Because it instilled in me a sense of excitement and appreciation for well-reasoned arguments that I had not experienced since I first started reading Rand's works in the early 1980's. Back then, the more I read, the more my excitement waned.

Title: Plato: The Great Philosopher-Educator

Subtitle: Giants in the History of Education

Author: David Diener PhD

Narrator: David Kemper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-17-17

Publisher: Classical Academic Press

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Any attempt to encapsulate Plato's thoughts regarding education is a daunting task. Plato's views are many, and diverse and innumerable analyses of his thought have already been made. The attention that has been paid to interpreting Plato, however, is certainly not undeserved. Plato is one of the principal founders of the western intellectual tradition. It is nearly impossible to examine the historical development of any academic topic without, knowingly or unknowingly, addressing Plato's views.

Regardless of our final assessment of Plato's educational thought, it is unquestionable that his understanding of education has had a profound impact on the development of educational theory and practice around the world for nearly two-and-a-half millennia. The study of his views is thus greatly beneficial, both as a means of examining fundamental questions about the nature of education addressed in his work, and also as a means of better understanding the historical roots of the western educational tradition.

Title: Why Worry

Author: George Lincoln Walton

Narrator: Paul Darn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-31-17

Publisher: SAGA Egmont

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

The habit of worry is not to be overcome by unaided resolution. It is hoped that the victim of this unfortunate tendency may find, among the homely illustrations and commonplace suggestions here offered, something to turn his mind into more healthy channels.

It is not the aim of the writer to transform the busy man into a philosopher of the indolent and contemplative type, but rather to enable him to do his work more effectively by eliminating undue solicitude. This elimination is consistent even with the strenuous life.

One writer has distinguished between normal and abnormal worry, and directed his efforts against the latter. Webster's definition of worry ("A state of undue solicitude") obviates the necessity of deciding what degree and kind of worry is abnormal, and directs attention rather to deciding what degree of solicitude may be fairly adjudged undue.

In the treatment of a subject of this character a certain amount of repetition is unavoidable. But it is hoped that the reiteration of fundamental principles and of practical hints will aid in the application of the latter. The aim is the gradual establishment of a frame of mind.

Helpful book about WHY WORRY! Enjoyed this book!

This is truly a no fluff book about why worry! It is practical and helpful and the author gives different situations in people who worry and how to avoid this.

The book is an interesting read and I found it very helpful, however, what I do not like is that it is hard to navigate around in and it was written originally some time ago for a different time.

Great book and very easy to read in my opinion.

I liked the tones in the book

I liked the tones in the book. It does seem a bit redundant with the remaining authors on self-help. The message is good for those who need to save themselves from overthinking

Five Stars

fantastic read

Five Stars

One of the most encouraging books about worry outside of the Bible. Great practical advice without fluff.

Title: 300 Quotes of French Philosophy

Author: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire, Michel de Montaigne

Narrator: Katie Haigh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-17

Publisher: Astorg Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

French philosophy has been led on by three most influent thinkers, each one bordering on literature and bringing new understandings to politics, philosophy, and religion.

Michel de Montaigne is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre; his style merges casual anecdotes and autobiography with deep intellectual insights. His "Essays" are among the most influential ever written; one can recognize Montaigne's direct influence on great literary figures all over the world, from René Descartes to Nietzsche, Isaac Asimov, and possibly William Shakespeare.

Two centuries after him, Jean-Jacques Rousseau keyed the modern genre of autobiography, vastly influenced the development of the Enlightenment through his political philosophy, and helped develop modern educational thought, although his book on the question outraged the French parliament so much that an arrest order was issued against him.

His lifelong adversary Voltaire was a French writer famous for his wit and irony, his tools for launching vitriolic attacks on the established Catholic church, the adversaries of freedom of religion and expression, and on separation of church and state.

Each one of these great thinkers has had a tremendous influence on the rise and shape of modern thought. This audiobook is a careful compilation of essential quotes summarizing their fundamental ideas, for you to get acquainted with the subtleties of their works in a practical format that will add to your culture and understanding of modern philosophy.
