In her hilarious New York Times best seller You’ll Never Blue Ball in This Town Again, Heather McDonald recounted her adventures as an unwilling virgin in Hollywood. Now happily married with three wonderful kids, she shows that life as a grown-up - even a pretend grown-up - has its challenges. Heather’s a working mom with parents who live next door, a sister who keeps asking for one of her still-fertile eggs, and friends who are up to more hijinks than even Heather can handle.

Heather McDonald is hilarious!
Revisado: 05-13-13
What did you love best about My Inappropriate Life?
Her stories are so funny because they are relatable. She is so normal even though she is in Hollywood, so all of the stories I thought “oh, I could totally see that happening!”.
What does Heather McDonald bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I like when the author reads their own book, even if they are not 'professional' audiobook actors. The stories are even better in her own voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, you could! I listened in 3 days: in the car, walking around, at the store, my earbuds were glued to my ears!
Any additional comments?
If you like her on Chelsea Lately, the book is 1000times better!

This is a book about work choices and life choices, and the critical points, or defining moments, at which the two become one. A refreshing antidote to traditional feel-good, inspirational business ethics, it examines the right-versus-right conflicts that every business manager faces and presents an unorthodox yet practical way for you to think about and resolve them.

An interesting look at ethical business issues
Revisado: 01-31-13
What made the experience of listening to Defining Moments the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed the real life stories used as launching pads for specific ethical conflicts
Any additional comments?
I would have liked to have heard more real-life examples of business ethical situations. The book seemed to ask more questions than it answered, but that is the nature of ethics. There are no easy answers. If you are looking for an intro book about ethics in business I would recommend this book.

Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair’s breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger - all by the time he was 30. He solidified his standing as the nation's foremost political forecaster with his near perfect prediction of the 2012 election. Silver is the founder and editor in chief of the website FiveThirtyEight. Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data.

With all of the recent emphasis on "big data", analytics and visualization, and emerging technology architectures such as smartphone networks, social media, and cloud computing, the way we do business is undergoing rapid change. The right business model can create overnight sensations - think of Groupon, the iPad, or Facebook. At the same time, alternative models for organizing resources such as home schooling, Linux, or Kenya's Ushihidi tool transcend conventional business designs.

Case studies and real-life stories are great!

Would you listen to Information, Technology, and Innovation again? Why?
This book has tons of examples, case studies, and real-life stories which make this book fascinating! Every point is followed with real example, which makes the book feel more like an interesting dialog.
Any additional comments?
Although great, it’s long! 15 hours is a lot to get through…but still worth it!

How can great companies do everything right - identify real customer needs, deliver excellent innovations, beat their competitors to market - and still fail? The sad truth is that many companies fail because they focus too intensely on their own innovations, and then neglect the innovation ecosystems on which their success depends. In our increasingly interdependent world, winning requires more than just delivering on your own promises. It means ensuring that a host of partners - some visible, some hidden - deliver on their promises, too.

Critics have called her “sweet, adorable, and vicious.” But there is so much more to be said about Samantha Bee. For one, she’s Canadian - whatever that means. And now, she opens up for the very first time about her checkered Canadian past. With charming candor, she admits to her Lennie from Of Mice and Men-style love of baby animals, her teenage crime spree as one-half of a car-thieving couple, and the fact that strangers seem compelled to show her their genitals.

One funny story after another! If you like the kind of comedy of The Daily Show (Samantha Bee is a correspondence), you will love this book.

Laugh out loud funny. I had a hard time getting into the book years ago, but took a chance on the audio. Hear the author read the book makes it!
