In her late 20s, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables.

Interesting personal account
Revisado: 07-19-18
An interesting personal account and journey into primal human abilities that are yet to be rediscovered.
Highly recommend especially to the mid age audience who is aiming to understand its life limitations and meaning better.

Like millions of kids before him, Jay Williams used to pretend he was making the game-winning shot while playing basketball in his Plainfield, New Jersey, backyard. Unlike almost all of those other kids, he kept right on making shots until he became an NCAA champion and two-time national player of the year at Duke and the number-two overall NBA draft pick in 2002.

Basketball story @ its best
Revisado: 09-05-16
I'm glad that I've picked up this book for reading/listening. Usually I'm not a big fan of autobiographical books but for some reason this one made a cut to my library... and I'm happy for it. Such a powerful story about climbing the mountain, falling down, and climbing to the top yet again. A lot of life messages for all folks. Especially valuable book for everyone involved in basketball: players, parents, coaches, and administrators. Would make it a mandatory reading for all NBA rookies... before signing the contract :)

Kristine Barnett’s son Jacob has an IQ higher than Einstein’s, a photographic memory, and he taught himself calculus in two weeks. At 9 he started working on an original theory in astrophysics that experts believe may someday put him in line for a Nobel Prize, and at age 12 he became a paid researcher in quantum physics. But the story of Kristine’s journey with Jake is all the more remarkable because his extraordinary mind was almost lost to autism. At age 2, when Jake was diagnosed, Kristine was told he might never be able to tie his own shoes.

Each parent should get a copy of this book when leaving the maternity ward. A testament of how much the parenting matters. Must read!

From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. We’re told that learning is all self-discipline, that we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual if we want to ace that test, memorize that presentation, or nail that piano recital. But what if almost everything we were told about learning is wrong?

Lovely Book
Revisado: 08-09-15
I really enjoyed it! If you are serious about developing your coaching techniques further. -- you'll certainly find quite a few clues how to take advantage of the best practices and most recent scientific findings. I'll re-read it again and will take notes about subjects that are applicable to my coaching. It would be great if the book could be found in the print too.

Is it possible to make money as a coach without resorting to discounting, bargaining, Internet marketing, or sleazy tactics? Is it possible to love enrolling clients as much as coaching clients? Join Amir Karkouti, author of Do NOTHING to Get EVERYTHING, as he explores unorthodox methods to make you become an extraordinary coach and to attract extraordinary clients. This audiobook is meant to not only be informational but, more importantly, transformational.

Book for coaches
Revisado: 07-26-15
A real nice read (listen) for coaches. You'll certainly be able to relate to a lot of situations, doubts and solutions that you have faces in the past ... along with alternate pathways that you could choose. I liked quite a few suggestions and will build on them. Really liked: "Take the first insight, respect it and run with it ! Don't wait to collect them all..." :)

What do you really want? The good news is that whatever it is, you can have it! The only thing is, attaining it is going to be a lot easier than you think and more fun than you can imagine! This is because the universe operates on the principle of Effortless Success: When you get really clear and honest about what you want, everything in the world conspires to help you get it.

Nice book - full of pathways to choose from
Revisado: 07-09-15
Author is personal (life) coach with a lot of experience. You can find a variety of suggestions and examples. Hopefully, some would be applicable to your needs and suitable enough to give it a try. I'll certainly test a few leads that sound promising and fun to do. Narrative is excellent and I've enjoyed listening.
