Historia
These 24 inspiring lectures introduce you to the sages who, as a group, represent the "missing page" of the history of philosophy. Although their names are sometimes familiar to us, as in the case of Cicero and Plutarch, their philosophy is not. Studying these thinkers offers some surprising ways to think about philosophy. This course offers ample opportunity to hear, in their own words, the philosophers' prescriptions for healthier living.

Philosophy As Self-Improvement
- De Joshua en 03-29-15
nice but requires attention
Revisado: 11-27-18
I struggled sometimes even though I enjoyed it. it really felt like I was losing half of what was taught and that made me feel less inclined to keep going. I think it requires more attention and learning than I wanted to give.

Historia
You know her voice. Now hear her story.
Audible has teamed up with Rolling Stone to produce an uncompromisingly honest Audible Original that honors the life and legacy of the incomparable Aretha Franklin. Aretha’s universal appeal was evident from the release of her first album at age 14 through her nearly 50 Top 40 hits. Yet this intimate biography reminds us that Aretha knew pain as much as she knew glory. It was the blues, residing deep within her soul, that gave way to a voice able to lift millions with a profound sense of freedom, self-worth, and undeniable talent to rise above sorrow.

Historia
Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly – especially when it strikes without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting research on not-so-random weather data – and how Washington plans to release it.

Nice short research book, or long in-depth podcast
Revisado: 09-17-18
perfect new addition from audible, really line the format of the original. it's a 2h session in depth about a 'random' but interesting phenomenon. very well researched and brought to the listener, or at least in my opinion. it's essentially the perfect fix for someone wanting to enrich their lives with new knowledge in an entertaining way without spending hours and hours on a topic

Deep dive
Revisado: 03-22-18
In the end I guess I liked it. it was not always easy as most of this was quiet advanced, but since my goal isn't to memorise it all, rather to gain some handholds on the topic of investing, it was fine for me.
slightly annoyed by the pronunciation of Fi-nance throughout the lectures, but I guess that's the accent.
as a whole i would say this is not a good place to start of you're dipping your toes in to investing, but otherwise quite a thorough and well structured class

I enjoyed it. Won't say i remembered or understood more than half, but for me the goal was a first foray into the topic and you gain some hand holds. In that sense the book succeeded and pleasingly so.

Nice to finally get through this book
Revisado: 02-18-18
I started reading it 7 years ago and never managed to get through it due to its heavy emphasis on biology. At the time it was too much for me. However, the book remained on my 'to be read' list and therefore finally ended up on my audible list. Very worthwhile listen and definitely made me appreciate the geographical historical and biological aspects that formed the world as we know it.

With extraordinary access to the West Wing, Michael Wolff reveals what happened behind-the-scenes in the first nine months of the most controversial presidency of our time in Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, the country—and the world—has witnessed a stormy, outrageous, and absolutely mesmerizing presidential term that reflects the volatility and fierceness of the man elected Commander-in-Chief.

entertaining
Revisado: 01-22-18
very entertaining listen. Having followed the news intently, this was a very good follow up and explanation of the various players and their dynamics towards each other - and especially about DJT. The President is portrayed as deeply missing attributes, skills, knowledge and personality to actually be in that position. Bannon is portrayed as the brain behind most of the politics, and Jere-Vanka are/is the operation headmaster. Together this leads to absolute chaos and destruction, and shows that the USA is slowly slipping from the world stage.
