As author Mark Manson argues, it’s in knowing what those limits are, accepting them, and then focusing your attention on what really matters in life that true happiness and motivation can be found—a message that’s underscored by the strong performance of narrator Roger Wayne.

How to Get Sh*t Done
- Why Women Need to Stop Doing Everything So They Can Achieve Anything
- Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang
- Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins
- Release date: 01-02-18
- Language: English
- This audiobook, also narrated by the excellent Lauren Fortgang, is ideal for the modern woman, as traditional self-motivation guides often neglect to consider the unique cultural challenges and societal pressures women face. Women are expected to have it all and do it all—from careers to relationships, motherhood, and friendships. It can be overwhelming. Here, Falconer makes an argument for delegating, outsourcing, and putting a stop to caring about stuff that's not really important, so that you can excel at what really matters.
