Summary:

A modern parable for ambitious people on the relationship between success and self-reflection from the coauthor of the acclaimed Go-Giver series and a renowned authority on leadership

Have you ever wondered, If I could go back in time and talk to my twenty-year-old self, what would I say? In The Vagrant, a brash young executive finds himself asking that exact question when his world is turned upside down.

From Dan Rockwell, creator of the popular Leadership Freak blog, and John David Mann, coauthor of the award-winning classic The Go-Giver, The Vagrant follows Bob, a bright, up-and-coming leader in the health care business who leads a team of forty at a large city hospital. When hes called up to the seventh floor one fine spring morning, he fully expects a promotion in line with his C-suite aspirations.

Instead, hes fired.

Moments after losing his job, Bob has a strange alleyway confrontation with a homeless man rambling about the four impediments of the Apocalypse. To Bob, his words are nothing but incoherent ranting, but they soon prove eerily prophetic. In the weeks that follow, Bob loses everything he holds dearhis apartment, possessions, reputation, and healthand ends up living on the street . . . until chance leads him back to that same alley and he crosses paths with the strange man once again.

In this timeless, eye-opening tale of redemption, Bobs tailspin journey through loss and catastrophic failure invites listeners to examine the nature of genuine leadership and embark upon their own story of self-discovery.

Title: Never Enough: Separating Self-Worth from Approval

Author: Deb Lang Psy.D.

Narrator: Deb Lang Psy.D.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:50:46

Language: English

Release date: 09-17-23

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family

Summary:

YOU DESERVE TO BE YOUEVEN IF OTHERS DISAGREE

Do you dream of feeling confident in your own skin? Of no longer worrying what people think of you and whether they will approve? Instead, can your day turn on a dime with a look or a comment? Do you feel like what you do is never enoughthat youre never enough? And has all of that pressure left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Maybe turning to food for comfort? If so, this book is for you.

Despite what you may think,I doubt you are weak, disorganized, codependent, a people pleaser, or that you lack motivation or willpower. Nor are you alone.

Over my many years working with women in therapy, it would behard to count the number of bright, capable, successful women who have shared with me their fears of not being good enough, or how easily they are derailed by disapproval.And I have yet to meet a woman who feels her body is as it should be.

So, why is it that so many women feel they dont measure up or find themselves constantly scrambling for approval or to be good enough? That is the question that prompted me to write this book.

Never Enoughexplores,

- the external factors, including our history as women, that keep us looking outside of ourselves for how we should be,while abandoning our true selves, our internal wisdom, and all that we were meant to be in this life

- how the brain, in an effort to protect and help us, often makes change difficult and knowledge insufficient in changing patterns of behavior

- the specific skills that have helped women turn this around

My gift, as a licensed psychologist, is helping women celebrate their unique beauty and truth and tostep out of the no-win struggle to gain approval and be enough.

Title: Image Bearers: Shifting from Pro-birth to Pro-Life

Author: Herbie Newell

Narrator: Herbie Newell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:14:59

Language: English

Release date: 09-15-23

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Health & Wellness, Women's Health, Christianity, Religious Studies

Summary:

Being pro-life means that not only do we see abortion as a murder, but we also see our apathy against injustice toward outside of the womb as a coconspirator in the fight for life. It means that we fight for racial equality. It means that we love the woman walking into the abortion clinic passionately with the love of Christ, and it means we embrace life no matter what label may be attached to a person's identity. There are many books written about being pro-life, the pro-life and right-to-life movement,and combating abortion arguments, but my hope is this small volume will bring awareness that the pro-life movement ethic is so much bigger in presenting a case for life than just being pro-birth.

Title: Elon Musk

Author: Walter Isaacson

Narrator: Jeremy Bobb

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20:27:11

Language: English

Release date: 09-13-23

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Science & Technology, Business, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era—a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.

Australian Financial Review Top 20 Read for 2023​

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.

At the beginning of 2022—after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth—Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. “I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,” he said.

It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.

For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?

Summary:

This is the part in the story where someone I love would only appear again in flashbacks.

The daughter of Cambodian refugees, Ai grew up in the small Australian town of Whitlam populated by Asian immigrants who once fled war-torn countries to rebuild their shattered lives. It is now the late 90s and despite their parents' harrowing past, Ai and her tightknit group of school friends lead seemingly ordinary lives, far removed from the unimaginable horrors suffered by their parents.

But that carefree innocence is shattered in their last year of school when an incident involving Ai and her friends spirals into senseless violence, leaving behind a trail of unresolved trauma. Years later, Ai is compelled to look back on the tragedy that shaped her adolescence, to examine the role she may have unwittingly played.

Internationally acclaimed poet Lang Leav brings her poetical lyricism and emotional acumen to create a rich and compelling coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of anti-Asian sentiment sweeping Australia in the late 90s.
