Nice Try, But Difficult To Listen To

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

This would have been okay without the music or the advertisements. The music, which is supposed to be background music, is so loud it blocks the speaker and makes it very difficult to hear the new vocabulary being spoken. Can't learn new words if we can't hear them!

Any additional comments?

Take the background music out of the foreground, and this might be a good listen.

A little too over-acted

I really enjoyed the way the author has set up learning vocabulary: She tells a story that is full of vocabulary words, then defines the words after each part of the story. It allows the listener to hear the word in-context and define it. However the author's catch-phrasse of "verb-a-licious" (which is used throughout the listen) was corny, and a little suggestive. But otherwise a good listen.

would but every vocab she makes!

the vocabulary it's fun, witty, enjoyable and effective. the best way to learn words.

Thank You

wish to have the dialogue

Any additional comments?

It's wonderful to have the support materials - vocabularies and definitions. I wish I could also get a downloadable copy of the dialogue because there are some words I just didn't get.

Verbalicious Vocabulary System

Well where do I start, I know, the new words that you will be repeating after listening to this book will be 'why the hell did I waste my money on such a poor book', oh I this I've under sold it....I really mean a very poorly put together and orchestrated book. Move on and give it a miss.

An interesting Book

How to Motivate People by Patrick Forsyth Second Edition was an interesting and informative book. It had a lot of good ideas and suggestions that will help managers to see different ways to motivate people and perhaps help them to avoid making some mistakes.

The book is written in British English which at times is hard to understand because British idioms are often different than what Americans would say. Other than that, the book is very interesting and easy to read.

Didn't learn anyhting new

This book has not much substance. The very first paragraph cites president George W Bush as a prime example of an excellent orator. Fool me once, shame on ??? shame on you. Fool me ??? you can't get fooled again: The "speak form the heart" part is probably 15 minutes of the book. The rest of the book is just cliche filler material about public speaking and running meetings which I already knew.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Publisher's Summary:

There is an epidemic facing our world today. People everywhere, even those who are successful by most standards, are utterly disconnected from what they really want out of life. We've abandoned our true passions and dreams in exchange for a daily grind that offers no fulfillment. Some estimates say that fully 80 percent of people don't enjoy their work and wish they could exert more control over their lives.

Carve Your Own Road offers a powerful process for reconnecting to your dreams and expanding your opportunities. You will receive firsthand insight from people who have successfully made the leap to careers that invigorate and inspire.

Carve Your Own Road also offers stories of dozens of inspiring entrepreneurs and individuals who have done something intimidating to most of us--quit their jobs to pursue a whole new path, one filled with uncertainty and fear...and passion and excitement.

Members Reviews:

Great source of ideas and inspiration

This is a fantastic book! I really enjoyed the journal-like storytelling from Jennifer and Joe as they traveled the country interviewing people who had indeed "carved their own road." But I particularly loved the inspiring stories from the many independent souls who broke free from jobs they hated to pursue their passion. Eric Yaverbaum's story really resonated with me. So did Robin Sharma's and Holley Henderson's. The insights these passionate individuals provide in this book are invaluable. If you're looking for inspiration and great ideas on how to do what you love -- and make a good living doing it -- this book must absolutely be on your reading list.

Live for your passion!

I heard about this book on CNN one day and the story behind the lives of the authors. The best part is that they give stories of people from ALL walks of life that turned their careers around. It also showed me that by focusing on something other than money, profits and salary, you can be happy. Typically when the people discussed in this book focused on what they enjoyed, the money followed. The same held true for the authors.

Great

Really helpful. Easy read with real life suggestions. I'll be re-reading this book again and again. Taking some positive action every day towards my ultimate goal.

Roadies Unite

This book is a unique inspiration for those who want to step out in a new direction or better tailor their existing conditions. Written by a fantastic team! Great value.

Does Your Job Work For You?

Jennifer and Joe Remling traversed America in an Airstream trailer, interviewing people who found a way to make meaning in their work. They spoke to veterans in several industries, both entrepreneurs and those working in established corporations. Not incidentally, they discovered how to enjoy their own work, and strengthened their marriage. And now they're ready to share their lessons with you.

Mixing reporting, memoir, and manifesto, the Remlings take up a thesis that is much ballyhooed in this down economy: it doesn't matter if you're well paid, if your job strips your humanity. They scan hours of interviews with the working world's path-breakers and find several common habits and insights.

Inspiring Fiction brings Reality to inspire Courageous Communications

This was my first Jim Clemmer book, but certainly not my last. Jim has created an extremely rare product here: an enjoyable and fun to read motivational and inspirational book about leadership. Since the Excellence series, I could only make it through an article or skim books for this genre, but I could not put this book down! The reader is lured (in a good way) by an interesting story about a decent guy who has climbed pretty high in the corporate ranks, but then begins to wonder if it was all worth it.

I identified with the star of the story right away. Here I was wondering if I was going through a mid-life crisis and thanks to Jim realized it was all me, not my world, not my age, not even my job. It was me who brought on the crisis and it was me who could pull myself out of it and make the world around me a better place.

I can't help but think that Jim must be a big fan of "Its a Wonderful Life" as he uses some of those effects to help us see our own value for what we have done, and our potential to do so much more.

What did I like best? Probably his down-to-earth guidance to have courage. You don't have to be a soldier, policeman, or firefighter to demonstrate courage. You can do that every day at work, home, and in your community. Jim puts some thoughts and feelings we all have into plain language. Have those "courageous communications" but don't have them to complain. Have them to point out a problem (or de-motivator in the workplace), explain why it is a problem, what needs to be done to resolve the problem, then get to it! Jim helps us see the importance of strong follow-up and follow-through.

What did I not like? There is no Moose part 2, 3, 4, and 5! I want more!

Jim - thanks. Your message hit home. I got the message and I'm doing something about my world. I am alive again. Please wait until you are well in your nineties before you even consider retiring.

Five Stars

Jim is such a great author and speaker! All of Jim's books are much reads!

An Eye Opener!

Easy read and very effective in its delivery of the message to the reader on how to identify sacred "moose" and confront them. This book was recommended to me and I have already recommended it to others!

This book was boring as hell

This book was boring as hell. I thought it would be better but it isn't. It made me feel very sad as I got tired of the pity party thrown by the main character. There are way better books out there that get the job done.

Great storytelling and a powerful message

The interesting and colourful title and my knowledge of the author's work immediately drew my interest to this book.

Since the beginning of time storytelling has been one of the most effective and interesting ways to teach and get messages accross. Jim Clemmer uses his many years of practice in the human development field as a rich source of information on what works and doesn't work in personal interactions.

Title: The Age of Speed

Author: Vince Poscente

Narrator: Sean Mangan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-09

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Unraveling the notion that in today's world we need to slow down, Poscente illustrates why harnessing the power of speed is the ultimate solution for those seeking less stress, less busyness, and more balance. The Age of Speed shows this and other groundbreaking revelations at work with case studies drawn from renegade companies such as Snapple, Netflix, Samsung, and Geico. And in the tradition of Freakonomics and The Tipping Point, a storyteller's voice enlivens its provocative research and counterintuitive insights.

Editorial Reviews:

Vince Poscente is a former Olympic speed skier who has since transitioned into a successful career as a motivational keynote speaker and CEO of The Goal Acceleration Institute. In his "concept book" The Age of Speed, Poscente declares that in today's culture, people "crave speed" and they are better off embracing it than objecting to it while stuck in the slow lane. Poscente uses trivia, personal anecdotes, thought experiments, examples from the business world, and scientific studies to make his argument.

Sean Mangan performs Speed in a thoughtful, reflective voice that lends a classical flavor to an ultra-modern idea. If speed is "no longer a luxury, [but an] expectation", then at least one listener is grateful that audiobook narrators still don't race through their delivery.

Critic Reviews:

"The Age of Speed is your bible to surf the speed tsunami that's overtaking business and life." (Scott Cook, Chairman and co-founder, Intuit)

"Thought-provoking....It's time to make peace with the whoosh of your 24/7 lifestyle." (Time)

"[Vince Poscente's] counterintuitive notion of embracing speed rather than coping with it will change the way people live and work." (Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust)

Members Reviews:

The Age of Speed helped Immensely!

Today's management style has become overwhelming to say the least. In The Age of Speed, Vince Poscente teaches you the value of speeding up while eliminating unnecessary activities and busy work. I truly understand now why I was feeling so overwhelmed yet appeared to be getting busier while accomplishing very little.

This is a must read for every executive who is feeling the bite of globalization and technological inundation. It helped me understand my own dilemmas as well as those with whom I manage. I not only recommend this book, I recommend all of Vince's books. He gets it!

Fails the "non-obviousness" test with flying colors

I was hoping this brief volume would provide some insight into the psychological underpinnings of today's instant-gratification, hyper-connected world (Cell Phones, SMS, RIM Blackberry's, iPhones etc.) and ramifications for the future. What I got instead were some commentary and observations that were so obvious, they could easily pass for a high school term paper.
