Historia
Lacey Yeager is young, captivating, and ambitious enough to take the New York art world by storm. Groomed at Sotheby's and hungry to keep climbing the social and career ladders put before her, Lacey charms men and women, old and young, rich and even richer with her magnetic charisma and liveliness. Her ascension to the highest tiers of the city parallel the soaring heights - and, at times, the dark lows - of the art world and the country from the late 1990s through today.

Slow Beginnings
Revisado: 12-06-20
It’s great to hear the first chapter of Steve Martin’s novel.
The narrator spoke slowly. Maybe too slowly. Perhaps a work around would be to play the audio at 1.5x speed.
Then there would be the issue with expression. Not much variation of tone or inflection.
Good that the audio clip were a promo download.

Historia
Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

Generous Man Seth Godin
Revisado: 11-07-20
200+ rants by Seth Godin.
I imagine each one discussed over a meal. Some more passionate than others, some one sided, some welcome participation and action. I only wish I could ask follow up questions or add examples to further is argument.
Signature Seth - After every number read follows commentary that is distinctly Seth’s voice. Wordplay, passion, and conviction.
Thanks Seth for another thoughtful audiobook.

Don’t Skip a Step
Revisado: 06-18-19
A bit of irony. Or maybe a joke I couldn’t get to.
What’s going on with Chapter 10?
The audio skips and skips; making it impossible to follow along.
The first 9 chapters were great.
The constant skipping in the 10th ruined the performance;(
It’s not like I was jogging with my Walkman.
I hope this error can be corrected for future downloads.
Best of luck!

Historia
In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning "death" and städning meaning "cleaning." This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner rather than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs listeners to embrace minimalism.

It is powerful to pair clutter with death.
It felt like Juliet and I were sitting down for tea discussing Margareta's book.
Not all of the conversation was relevant to my experiences. Regardless though, I am much wiser to have listened and shared.

If you're a fan of short stories, then you'll love Tom's writing.
What a delight!
After committing to several hours of Tom's readings, I felt rewarded when a few old characters from the first story returned.
Looking forward to more. Both Tom and Mr. Martin bring so much visual humor to their writing.
Thank you,

A New Classic

Poignant commentary on pop culture including tech and pop science sleep culture.
If Ms. Huffington were not editor/producer of this concept...her writing/performance of the parody, probably wouldn't have gotten this far.
Still good for a few chuckles.

Historia
Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it’s important, why we resist it, and why we should embrace it instead. Using research from neuroscience, psychology, social science, as well as captivating examples of real people doing extraordinary things, Tim Harford explains that the human qualities we value – creativity, responsiveness, resilience – are integral to the disorder, confusion, and disarray that produce them.

Tim wrote a great book that put me at ease about messiness.
Tim references several pop culture reference making it easy to relate stories I knew to his argument.
Nick 'the nice' Guy Smith narrates perfectly making X1 speed a comfortable pace.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who has ever pooh-poohed another's messy workspace.

Historia
In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials, and other efforts to harvest our attention. Over the last century, few times or spaces have remained uncultivated by the "attention merchants", contributing to the distracted, unfocused tenor of our times. Tim Wu argues that this is not simply the byproduct of recent inventions, but the end result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention.

It's Been Sold
Revisado: 10-24-16
Ever wonder why you have so little attention for the important things in life?
Your attention is being sold; it's been sold incrementally over the years.
Marc Cashman beautifully narrates fifteen hours of a 'brief' history of tactics and trends in advertising.
This is great book for you if you're interested in gaining control of your attention, find out where it's gone, who has taken it, and how they stole it from you. The why is money, but not for as much as you would think.
