Here Pema provides the tools to deal with the problems and difficulties that life throws our way. This wisdom is always available to us, she teaches, but we usually block it with habitual patterns rooted in fear. Beyond that fear lies a state of openheartedness and tenderness. This audiobook teaches us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect with others, to accept ourselves and others complete with faults and imperfections, and to stay in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause us to resist life as it is.

Start your day with readings from this book!
Revisado: 05-05-22
The content and narration is a fantastic way to start your day. It can help you remain present and mindful of your thoughts, interactions, and feelings. It's without a doubt that awareness of self brings about the requisite perspective, contentment, and compassion for others in your life. This book is my daily re-centering on this fact. Highly recommend.

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Thought provoking read on the extension of epidemics to shoe trends and even suicides. A must read into human psychology and how the roles we play contribute to those tipping points.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

This book is all about being open to listening and truly receiving the experiences of others. It's not always about agreeing or matching those experiences or beliefs with your own. True personal growth always resides in our ability to truly listen to others, accept their truth, and reflect on how their truth connects to our own lived experience: Is it reaffirming a myopic perspective or is it guiding you towards a more inclusive, empathetic, and empowered perspective.

When Samuel Zemurray arrived in America in 1891, he was tall, gangly, and penniless. When he died in the grandest house in New Orleans 69 years later, he was among the richest, most powerful men in the world. In between, he worked as a fruit peddler, banana hauler, dockside hustler, and plantation owner. He battled and conquered the United Fruit Company, becoming a symbol of the best and worst of the United States: proof America is the land of opportunity, but also a classic example of the corporate pirate who treats foreign nations as the backdrop for his adventures.

Nancy Lyons started her career not fitting in anywhere. She was a loudmouth, shared her ideas too much, and brought big energy. But there wasn't room for that in a traditional office. Nowhere did she ever feel empowered as an employee and valued for what she brought to work. So when she became a CEO and business owner herself, she set out to cultivate a work culture unlike anything she'd experienced before, starting with her mindset. In Work Like a Boss, she teaches everyone boss or not how to do it, too.

Great read if you need a reminder of your own power to manifest the kind of place you deserve to work at. Examine your own behaviors first, focus on honest and positive self talk, and show up to work motivated to be that change you long for. It starts with the only person you can control: yourself! This of course takes daily practice but it does get easier over time. This mindset is not only empowering but self fulfilling. Great read to remind you about your own power, how to THINK your way into a more fulfilling work life balance, and how to extract more fruitful collaborations with your co-workers. Your life and work are inextricably intertwined so take the time to examine it and optimize it. "The unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates

In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.

Sheryl Sandberg shares her truth about her experiences as women and we should all listen. When we take a moment to hear each other's truth, we understand each other and can truly support each other to be our best selves.

Dorothy A. Brown became a tax lawyer to get away from race. As a young black girl growing up in the South Bronx, she’d seen how racism limited the lives of her family and neighbors. Her law school classes offered a refreshing contrast: Tax law was about numbers, and the only color that mattered was green. But when Brown sat down to prepare tax returns for her parents, she found something strange: James and Dottie Brown, a plumber and a nurse, seemed to be paying an unusually high percentage of their income in taxes. When Brown became a law professor, she set out to understand why.

A must "read" for all Americans!
Revisado: 04-09-21
Truth can sometimes be difficult to hear but it always resonates if you remain open to the continual aquisition of knowledge towards objective truth.
This book drives truth through historical accounts and data. It can sometimes be a little overwhelming to listen to at times and may be better served with a hard copy. Nonetheless, it's a fascinating and introspective listen/read that allows one to reflect on the generational entitlement that is undoubtedly supported by the unfiltered history of this nation.
Kudos to the author and the narrator on a job very well done!
