Title: Down and Back: On Alcohol, Family, and a Life in Hockey

Author: Justin Bourne

Narrator: Justin Bourne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:05:40

Language: English

Release date: 02-14-23

Publisher: Viking Canada

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Sports, Psychology

Summary:

For readers of Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father and Hockey Confidential, Down and Back tells broadcaster Justin Bourne’s story of following his Hall-of-Fame father not only to the NHL, but also into rehab.

Bob Bourne was everything a son wants to emulate—an NHL All-Star, a Sports Illustrated “Sportsman of the Year,” a Stanley Cup champion. Justin Bourne followed in those huge footsteps, leading his teams in scoring year after year, and finally garnering an invitation to the New York Islanders’ training camp—the same team his father had played for. But Bourne was also following his father down a darker path.

Though he hadn’t begun drinking until he was 21, by 36 his drinking had nearly swamped his career and his marriage. In an act of brutal self-honesty—which may not have been possible if not for his understanding of how lying spurred by alcoholism can cause a family pain—Bourne got help, got sober, and confronted what his father and the game mean to him.

Down and Back is a frank and unflinching appraisal of the game and Bourne’s relationship with it: the violence and danger, the booze and drugs, the consequences of fame. But it is also an honest look at what is redeeming about the sport, through the eyes of someone who grew up in NHL dressing rooms, who has skated on NHL ice as both a player and a coach, and who inherited the game from a man he’s grown to better understand by looking more closely at himself.

Title: I Am Enough: the 90-day challenge to find contentment

Author: Sheridan Stewart

Narrator: Vivien Carter

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:14:30

Language: English

Release date: 02-09-23

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness

Summary:

Stressed by your spending? Always feeling like you should do more? Join Sheridan Stewart on an inspiring journey towards spending less, feeling happier and focusing on the important things.

What began as a 90-Day challenge simply to spend less, becomes an exploration of what matters most. I Am Enough contemplates what it means to have enough, do enough and ultimately be enough. Told with insight and humour, this book is an antidote to the constant pressure we are under to do more, have more and be more.

Busy radio presenter and broadcaster, author and mid-lifer Sheridan Stewart created the 90-Day Enough Challenge out of necessity. She had been struggling with burnout for years but couldn’t find a way to break the cycle of dashing about feeling guilty about spending too much, eating too much and not being a good enough wife, friend, volunteer, work colleague and human being.

Sheridan’s quest to prioritise calm, self-care and what really matters in life is inspirational. The practical programme which she has created is in three parts with a detailed timeline, tips and checklists for every step of the journey.

 

SURRENDER:

 

- The first part of the book is about surrender – learning to let go and strip life back to the essentials: getting enough sleep and support, utilizing what we have instead of buying more and doing enough without being sucked into the relentless pursuit of perfectionism. 

MAYBE I CAN BE ENOUGH?

 

- The second part of the book makes a shift from not only doing things differently but beginning to feel and view things differently. Even though to the outside observer, Sheridan’s life may appear the same – same job, same relationships, same environment – she learns to see life through a different lens. She begins to take small actions that better served her physical, emotional and financial wellbeing and shows the reader how to do the same.

CHOOSE TO MAKE THE CHANGE LAST:

 

- The third part of the book is about choice. As Sheridan nears the end of her 90-Day Challenge, she starts to explore implementing lasting change. As a chronic dieter and a driven over-achiever, she is aware of how quickly old patterns and behaviours can take hold. Why will this time different?

 

Over the course of this journey, Sheridan learns to trust herself, and you can too by following in her footsteps on a journey towards financial and emotional happiness.

Title: Between Debt and the Devil: Money, Credit, and Fixing Global Finance

Author: Adair Turner

Narrator: Richard Lyddon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:17:01

Language: English

Release date: 01-31-23

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Genres: Business & Economics, Accounting & Finance

Summary:

A classic book now available on audio

With narration by Richard Lyddon, who reveals why our addiction to debt caused the global financial crisis and is the root of our financial woes

Adair Turner became chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority just as the global financial crisis struck in 2008, and he played a leading role in redesigning global financial regulation. In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didnt happen because banks are too big to failour addiction to private debt is to blame.

Between Debt and the Devil challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low. In fact, most credit is not needed for economic growthbut it drives real estate booms and busts and leads to financial crisis and depression. Turner explains why public policy needs to manage the growth and allocation of credit creation, and why debt needs to be taxed as a form of economic pollution. Banks need far more capital, real estate lending must be restricted, and we need to tackle inequality and mitigate the relentless rise of real estate prices. Turner also debunks the big myth about fiat moneythe erroneous notion that printing money will lead to harmful inflation. To escape the mess created by past policy errors, we sometimes need to monetize government debt and finance fiscal deficits with central-bank money.

Between Debt and the Devil shows why we need to reject the assumptions that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. Each has its advantages, and each creates risks that public policy must consciously balance.

Title: Queer Career: Sexuality and Work in Modern America

Author: Margot Canaday

Narrator: Laurel Lefkow

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:48:20

Language: English

Release date: 01-31-23

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Genres: Business & Economics, History, North America, HR & Office Administration

Summary:

This audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow provides a masterful history of the LGBT workforce in America

Workplaces have traditionally been viewed as straight spaces in which queer people passed. As a result, historians have directed limited attention to the experiences of queer people on the job. Queer Career rectifies this, offering an expansive historical look at sexual minorities in the modern American workforce. Arguing that queer workers were more visible than hidden and, against the backdrop of state aggression, vulnerable to employer exploitation, Margot Canaday positions employment and fear of job loss as central to gay life in postwar America.

Rather than finding that many midcentury employers tried to root out gay employees, Canaday sees an early version of dont ask / dont tell: in all kinds of work, as long as queer workers were discreet, they were valued for the lower wages they could be paid, their contingency, their perceived lack of familial ties, and the ease with which they could be pulled in and pushed out of the labor market. Across the socioeconomic spectrum, they were harbingers of post-Fordist employment regimes we now associate with precarity. While progress was not linear, by centurys end some gay workers rejected their former discretion, and some employers eventually offered them protection unattained through law. Pushed by activists at the corporate grass roots, business emerged at the forefront of employment rights for sexual minorities. It did so, at least in part, in response to the way that queer workers aligned with, and even prefigured, the labor system of late capitalism.

Queer Career shows how LGBT history helps us understand the recent history of capitalism and labor and rewrites our understanding of the queer past.

Summary:

A warm, humorous and moving enemies-to-lovers romance perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry.

She gets married.

Then she meets the love of her life.

Georgie de Luca is a tradeswoman who runs an all-female pool cleaning business in Sydney. Managing The Pool Chicks is challenging, but it's her dream. Surrounded by a supportive group of women and a well-to-do surgeon husband, Georgie's got everything she could ever want. Life is perfect.

Or so she thinks.

Every marriage has its ups and downs... but Georgie is beginning to see what's really beneath the surface of hers. When she meets her new neighbour, Drew, a Navy pilot from Perth, she avoids his cheeky grin and shirtless torso at all costs. But over time, as their friendship blossoms and Drew becomes her closest ally, she can't help but wonder: What if she has married the wrong man? And is her husband really the good guy he appears on paper?

To Drew, Georgie is perfect - and he has fallen head over heels for her. Even his dog, Mal, adores her.

When Georgie's husband is involved in an accident and Drew is deployed to the Middle East, she has some big decisions to make - and fast. Will she risk her integrity, and everything she has, to follow her heart? More importantly, is this the beginning or the end of Georgie's love story?

A heart-warming contemporary romance, Tulips from Mal is about forgiveness, second chances ... and most importantly, love.

'A compelling story full of heart and soul. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and cheer on these two characters right until the very end. You will never forget them!' JENNIFER BARNAO
