You Cannot Leave Your Creativity Behind

This is the best book I've read on how to live one's creative dream out in life. It is heartwarming, clear, and will motivate you to help yourself and others in fulfilling your creative dream.

Serendipity, or the magical extra thing that pops up when we are devoted to our creative tasks with full commitment, is a magical extra you will encounter as you go to meet your dragons. I would encourage you to step up and ask for what you want, and then listen to the answer on how to get it, as James A. Owen will tell you simply how to both draw a line, and decide where you put it, and similarly in your life, to decide what you must do the most and then do it.

Failure to do what we are gifted to do is a great loss.

Go for it.

inspiring and strengthening.

It's great to hear such inspirational words from some who was in the mud, but didn't have the training and experience that most self help authors have. You are a guy who figured it out the hard way not a train psychologist that has real life experience to draw from. You make me believe anyone can do it. Thanx for this and all you other work too.

Inspirational Story

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I didn't listen to it in one sitting...but nearly so.

Any additional comments?

Drawing out the Dragons is an inspirational story - I like how if you put your head down you can find a way to make anything work. It's a great message, and I'm glad that James Owen shares his stories to kids at a time when it'll do them the most good. Well worth a read or listen.

A bastion of inspiration

This is one of the only books I keep on my phone at all times for an emotional pick-me-up when times get rough and the choices feel overwhelming. It represents the culmination of a life that has inspired my own choices. The odd part is that, though culmination is the best word I can think of to describe the work, it does not feel like an end, as the word culmination implies. It is only the beginning. For you, for me, for the author.

Title: A Conversation with Fear

Author: Mermer Blakeslee

Narrator: Lory Reyes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-16-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

We all pack different ideas and feelings into the word fear: fear of the unknown, fear of failure, of losing control, of aging, of falling down, fear of the body reacting and fear of the body not reacting, even the fear of saying the word fear. This audiobook does not attempt to define fear or explain why a frightened person experiences certain physiological responses. It doesnt separate students into categories or classify symptoms.

"What this book does attempt is to offer you both audacity and comfort. Although comfort feels quiet, it arrives through a bold move: accepting the presence of fear. To do this, we must pick our way between two powerful tendencies, to control and to cure, the Scylla and Charybdis of our culture. These tendencies show themselves constantly in words like manage, handle, overcome, conquer, dispel, banish, fix. By regarding fear as a pathology to control or cure, we assume that life without its presence is possible, normal, or even desirable. But once we accept fear as a habitual acquaintance in an imaginative, meaningful life, we can begin to cultivate a conversation with it rather than engage it in a fight.

Members Reviews:

Excellent discussion of what many don't want to discuss

A useful, readable discussion of what is probably the most understated problem faced by skiers looking for improvement. Most people do not like to openly discuss their fears, but since alpine skiing requires counter-intuitive moves it is plagued with fearful situations. Good alpine skiing requires you to commit to the pull of gravity, but human reflex is to stay with the hill behind you, near solid ground. The tension between these two is what causes apprehension, fear, self-doubt, uncertainty, unfamiliarity. Ms Blakeslee covers the many different manifestations of fear in various skiers she has worked with, and also within herself. As a lifelong skier, student of skiing and former instructor, I would guess that reading this book might actually help more skiers than a 1-hour private lesson. It's certainly cheaper!

Reading this book is no substitute for coaching on the snow, and I would bet that a private lesson with Ms Blakeslee would be perhaps the best of both worlds (what's in this book, as well as on-snow coaching). But for when you can't get on snow, or for the off-season, this book will help readers cope with the anxieties felt when skiing. I would also suggest that where it deals with fear-as-fear --the psychological side of skiing-- it can be put to use in other sports, like mountain biking, where fear can creep into the picture.

Learning to love fear

This book has redefined fear for me. It has re-introduced me to feel, to focus and ways to stop trying too hard. The stories are real and relatable for skiers of all levels. I loved the authenticity of the dialogue. This book also trenches that everything is dynamic- the conditions, skiing, feelings, emotions, life and fear. It's all changeable and controllable so that we can get back to enjoying it all!

A Conversation with Mermer

"A Conversation with Fear" is, simply put, a fabulous read and a deeply insightful inquiry into fear -- its causes and remedies.

Title: What to Do When the Shit Hits the Fan

Author: David Black

Narrator: Steve Coulter

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-27-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Would you know how to prepare for an unforeseen emergency, or handle an unexpected disaster? With real-world considerations in mind, disaster preparedness consultant David Black shows us how to stay alive when tragedy strikes. His step-by-step actions can help us make it safely through a variety of crises, from catastrophic weather to terrorism to civil unrest. Black presents tailor-made plans for individuals, businesses, organizations, small groups, and communities to follow, in all regions of the country and broken down by type of emergency and environment. In addition, he provides a hierarchy for response including communication, healthcare, food, water, and shelter in the absence of institutions and commercially available services and supplies.

Editorial Reviews:

A drought in the United States, as disaster preparedness consultant David Black explains, usually just has economic ramifications; a drought in eastern Africa might lead to death. That is, however, no excuse not to be prepared. After 9/11, it became apparent that the times are changing, and we are more susceptible to disaster than ever. In What to Do When Shit Hits the Fan, performed by prominent Audible narrator Steve Coulter, listeners will get detailed plans and methods of response for times of crisis, whether it's terrorism, catastrophic weather, or civil unrest.

Members Reviews:

If you want to know what to do when the shit hits

If you want to know what to do when the shit hits the fan this book is not it. If you believe that you can sit and watch TV after a major disaster than you should think again.

Good basic information

Nothing really new here. Just a good overview of what anyone prepping would already know.

Basic information, but good to know

The book felt very much like an aggregation of various government sources, first aid books, and other material with personal anecdote interspersed. The audio version was wooden and uninteresting, but the information was sound and I would recommend it for people who aren't familiar with disaster response or planning.

Title: How to Thrive in the Digital Age

Subtitle: The School of Life

Author: Tom Chatfield

Narrator: David Thorpe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-07-12

Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Unpick the complexities of our digital world and discover how to live well within it. Over the last decade, through digital media, we have crossed a number of significant thresholds: the interconnection of over half of the worlds adult population through mobile telephony and the internet and the devotion of more than half the waking hours of a western generation to mediated experience. Yet little mainstream thought has been given to what these transitions signify for the business of daily living; and what thought there has been too often focuses on grand claims of loss or gain.

This book asks what it means not simply to live within a digital century, but to live well with it and within it. Unlike most other contemporary accounts, it is neither a tale of technology doom nor glory, but a pragmatic guide to what questions we need to ask of the world around us; what it might mean to answer these; and what practical steps might allow us all both to choose and to use the tools at our disposal, and to live within a digital century in as fully human a sense as possible.

Potted philosophy and technology

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Have you been promised success if you follow a few quick and dirty "rules" or "secrets" of success? Are you tired of irrelevant analogies that do nothing for you but make you feel inadequate? Have you had enough of highly metaphysical concepts and not enough practical solutions? Have you had your fill of grossly exaggerated claims that try to trick you into thinking success is easy? Are you all "affirmationed" out? You are not alone.

Think of success as a game of chance in which you have control over the odds. As you begin to master concepts in personal achievement, you are increasing your odds of achieving success.

Year to Success is a full-year course in success, designed to be a practical guide to achieving your definition of success. Each day in this course will, through practical application, increase your odds of achieving success. It has been said that one line of wisdom can change your life more than volumes of books. Imagine what hundreds of pages of wisdom can do.

Would be better as a book than an audio

The 366 day chapters are too short for an audio and would be better served as a written book. I get audios because I am in the car for long periods of time and don't have the time to read, however I believe this book has value, just not as useful as an audio. I will find this in the printed version as I believe it will be a better resource.

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Turn off the whining - and start winning in life.

Lets be honest. Life can push you in unpredictable directions. But its up to you as to how you react and what you do with the advantages life offers you. The way you handle lifes bumps and opportunities is what distinguishes the winners in life from the whiners.

The Top 10 Distinctions Between Winners and Whiners puts a powerful spotlight on the many ways we can sabotage our own growth - and shows how to change your mindset from one of resignation and inactivity to action, energy, and self-fulfillment in both your professional and personal life.

Whether you want to make a radical change of mindset or make small changes to improve your winning attitude, Keith Cameron Smith has the guidance and affirmation youre looking for. Helping you to enact change with both your heart and your head, Keiths 10 Distinctions will give you the clarity and confidence to make the most of every twist and turn. He explores such truths as:

Even if you already consider yourself a winner, theres always room for improvement. We all whine from time to time, but whining doesnt contribute to positive change - it merely feeds the fear that holds you back from making true progress and growth in your life.

Sharing powerful quotes from winners throughout history, personal accounts of disappointment and renewal, and confidence-boosting examples of the right mindset for winning, The Top 10 Distinctions Between Winners and Whiners gives you the tools to plot out your goals, tackle your obstacles, and become a true winner in every aspect of your life.

Title: Think and Grow Rich

Author: Napoleon Hill

Narrator: Lloyd James

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-09-11

Publisher: Mission Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Think and Grow Rich is the number-one inspirational and motivational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals by learning from important figures in history. The text read in this audio is the original 1937 edition written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie, and while it has often been reproduced, no updated version has ever been able to compete with the original. It has been used as a road map to achievement by countless individuals.

Members Reviews:

I discovered my fear. I am conquering it.

Warning... There are some dated ideas about race expressed early on. You must see past this if you are a conscious person, or have been directly impacted by racism. These ideas by no means permeate the book, but are only expressed once or twice in the entire book. The writings as a whole actually suggest elevated ideas on humanity and human equality - though it is an apolitical book IMO.

Outstanding

Don't be fooled by the title, this is a book of direction for your life and in it you will recognise things about yourself (and your life) you were not aware of. After reading (or listening) for the firsr time you would be wise to revisit this book again and again from time to time! This book gets better and better the more you read it, the only side effect being you yourself will get better and better the more you read it.

Great, inspirational book. Highly recommended.

It highlighted key aspects of my life that I need to focus on. Great Wealth builder.

Still relevant today, an oldie, but a goodie

Opening up the mind is an incredible gift, use it wisely and don't waste it.

Title: As Far as the Heart Can See

Subtitle: Stories to Illuminate the Soul

Author: Mark Nepo

Narrator: Mark Nepo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-06-11

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Stories carry the seeds of our humanness. They help us, teach us, heal us, and connect us to what matters. As Far as the Heart Can See is an invitation to be in relationship with deep and life-giving material. Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo reaches people through their hearts, bringing something fresh and new to the field by stimulating change through reflection of thoughts and feelings.

The stories he shares in As Far as the Heart Can See come from many places - from Nepo's personal history to dreams to the myths of our ancestors. Each one is an invitation to awaken an aspect of living in relationship with the sacred.

Following each of the 45 stories are three forms of an invitation to further the conversation: journal questions, table questions, and meditations. The questions, whether reflected upon in a journal or discussed in deeper conversation with friends or family, are meant to lead the seeker down unimagined paths and back into life; the meditations are meant to ground the learning. These stories and parables about universal concepts and themes offer a poet's sensuality and a philosopher's sensibility to personalizing the journey of the human experience in the world.

Finding What is True Within Self and Others

This book was given to me by a friend, an angel who has come into my life to help me discover my own truth as it continues to unfold and the various truths of others that often confound me. The stories are beautiful. The questions are profound. This is book I will give to many and recommend to all.

Awesome selection

Mark Nepo is a genius with words. He strikes right at the heart of any issue and uses wonderful meditations, questions, and guidance through some very tough situations. This is an excellent book that covers many bases of life. It makes for wonderful dinner-table conversations. Try it, you'll love it! It is very thought provoking and written in wondeful prose that only Nepo can produce.

A MUST for those on a spiritual journey

This book by Mark Nepo is an extraordinary tool which can help to deepen your understanding, broaden your vision and expand your horizons spiritually. Nepo uses meditation, journaling and discussion questions to assist the reader. Readers of many ages, disciplines, interests can benefit from this publication. I have given it as gifts to students, friends, and family.

A Friend I never met

Reading this book quickly connected me to the author. He establishes a bound with his readers. We both have travel the road of cancer. Friends can be people we have never met. This author I count among my friends

Ron

A deep thinking book

I would give this book to anyone who wants to get a better understanding of themselves on

a spiritual level, to better sever humanity, and just be a better person.

No dislikes with this book, Nepo is a great, no super thinker and expresses himself beautifully.

I can not wait to read more of his books and insightful thoughts.

Members Reviews:

too Christian

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

More diversity would have made this a more interesting and enjoyable book. There are all kinds of people who become Grandmothers. all of these Grandmother stories seem to fall into a mold.

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

They picked from thousands of stories submitted so why couldn't there be more variety.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator was way too even toned for there being so many different stories.

What character would you cut from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grandmothers?

Christians are a vast majority of your audience, however a book is supposed to take you to someplace different than your own backyard.
