Historia
Olympian and World Champion Caster Semenya is finally ready to share the vivid and heartbreaking story of how the world came to know her name. Thrust into the spotlight at just 18 years old after winning the Berlin World Championships in 2009, Semenya’s win was quickly overshadowed by criticism and speculation about her body, and she became the center of a still-raging firestorm about how gender plays out in sports, our expectations of female athletes, and the right to compete as you are.

Insightful, powerful, wise beyond her years

Thank you for your story Caster. Although you are many years my junior, I will always look up to you. I've spent my life studying (and practicing) psychology and I agree with you when you say a psychologist would not be able to help you. You are already more psychologically healthy than the 10 most healthy people I know!

Them is the first book ever to examine the intent of the presence known as "aliens" or "visitors" from the perspective of what both civilian and military close encounter witnesses report happening to them.

Whitley works very hard at objectively presenting empirical evidence. His insights and advice going forward are important. Yes, it's scary and I believe he's sacrificed a lot to bring us this info. Grateful to you, Whitley.

"I'm just so profoundly grateful!" she sobbed out loud at the end of this book.
Thank you, Anthony for sticking it out, for all you've sacrificed for us. Thanks is not enough to you and the spirit of compassion. I'm profoundly grateful.

Historia
Fear can save your life. It directs you to avoid that stranger, to leave the room, to call for help. The intuitive message of fear, together with rational principles, can help you to predict and thereby avoid personal violence. In this program Gavin de Becker, America's leading expert on predicting violent behavior, demystifies the apparently random and unpredictable nature of violence and shows you how interpersonal violence can be detected and derailed.

What did you learn from Gift of Fear that you would use in your daily life?
It has been a goal of mine for years to trust my intuition more and after reading this, I intend to practice doing so, even more intently.
Any additional comments?
Your 1st response is usually the right one. Have you heard that about test-taking?

Historia
We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people, one in 25, has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in 25 everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath.

Would you listen to The Sociopath Next Door again? Why?
yes infact, I took notes
Any additional comments?
Martha Stout makes it easy to understand how common sociopaths really are, how they insinuate themselves into the lives of the unsuspecting and how best to handle them.

Historia
In the mid-70s, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. Born Standing Up is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away".

Not what you'd expect
Revisado: 08-03-12
Which character – as performed by Steve Martin – was your favorite?
I was disappointed that he didn't "perform" his characters. He just kind of read them.
Any additional comments?
It wasn't a book of jokes but of his life. It was interesting but short. I wanted more.

Roger Depue was an admirable example of a law enforcement professional. Interesting accounts of his work in some of the most notorious crimes in the nation. Some images will be hard to forget and you'll wish you never saw/heard them.

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

Would you listen to Unbroken again? Why?
maybe
What other book might you compare Unbroken to and why?
like no other book I've read
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was hard to put down.
Any additional comments?
One of the best books I've read (or listened to). I highly recommend you listen to it on audio because of the delivery. I can only discribe it as unrelenting. It had me on edge, heart pounding. Even though I'm not into sports and I'm not into war stories, particularly, I am into stories of survival and miracles and this is a story of both.
