Eleven months after he was liberated from the Nazi concentration camps, Viktor E. Frankl held a series of public lectures in Vienna. The psychiatrist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience, and the importance of embracing life even in the face of great adversity. Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. He offers an insightful exploration of the maxim "Live as if you were living for the second time".

Broadens perspective on life
Revisado: 05-25-21
We can at times forget to appreciate the gift of just being alive. This book has reminded me to to notice and be grateful for the many aspects of life. It is well written and well explained.

Red Notice is a searing expose of the wholesale whitewash by Russian authorities of Magnitsky's imprisonment and murder, slicing deep into the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Great, true story

We learn about an entirely different world as perceived and told by a skillful and wise first person narrator. I am guessing that this is a case in which listening far exceeds reading. Loved it.

Full of insights
Revisado: 01-22-19
The varied characters were so realistically and compassionately drawn with all their strengths and weaknesses. The shifting of time frames past and present added challenge and interest. It portrays an important part of our history — the kindness and brutality of dealing with children who may or may not have been orphans.

In the great depths surrounding the Lofoten islands in Norway lives the infamous Greenland shark. At 26 feet in length and weighing more than a ton, it is truly a beast to behold. But the shark is not just known for its size alone: Its meat contains a toxin that, when consumed, has been known to make people drunk and hallucinatory.

Revisado: 05-01-18
If you are curious about the world, the many digressions from the history of the planet to the descriptions of sea creatures all strung together by life in the beautiful Norwegian Lofoton Islands ... all these are a treasure. If you have ever travelled there or are considering it, this is a “must “ You could even listen while on your trip!
