Denver is a great city, but (like a lot of them) it can be tough to get around for new visitors. The "Denver Dossier" by Kimberly Burk Cordova is a neat little travel guide with a personal spin. She covers food, outdoorsy stuff, music venues, art, and history. Her approach should appeal to anyone who's never visited Denver before, since it covers such a wide range of things to see and do.

Also, the personal touch helps guide visitors to a bunch of less well-known places, and it's almost oddly immersive for a travel guide. Honestly, that makes it more enjoyable to listen to than most audiobooks of this type. However, Cordova includes a PDF version with the audiobook for people who prefer to have a visual copy on hand, It's great value for the money, and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to see Denver but doesn't know where to start. Cordova has done a great job.

"Understanding Hormones for Men" by Dr. Ashley Sullivan came at a great time. I've been struggling with some health issues, and it made for good listening while I was indisposed. The thing that struck me was how easy Dr. Sullivan makes it to access the info. She avoids a lot of jargon you can find in similar books. Instead, she puts stress-management, hormonal health, energy, and a bunch of other topics on a level anyone can understand.

I think anyone who listens to the audiobook will come away with a lot of practical advice for things like diet and exercise. Granted, none of the information is revolutionary, but Dr. Sullivan's way of connecting the little things we do every day to our long-term health prospects is excellent. And if we're honest with ourselves, we tend not to think too much about hormone health - this book emphasizes its importance for living a long and happy life. An excellent audiobook.

"Understanding Leaky Gut & Hormones for Women" by Dr. Ashley Sullivan does a phenomenal job of connecting the dots between hormonal health and your gut. It covers a lot of ground, but I think people will take away the most from the material on how the brain and gut interact. There's a ton of practical advice here on things like lifestyle, diet, lowering stress, mood-boosting, and staying energized.

I think the best part is how Dr. Sullivan doesn't push medications. She leans into natural medicine and encourages people to adopt a healthy lifestyle from top to bottom. Since this is a bundle, there is a dual focus, but it works very well, since hormonal health and gut health are linked. Dr. Sullivan also covers different periods in a woman's life, like menopause. All in all, I would definitely recommend this audiobook, especially for women. It's got a ton of awesome info and it breaks it down extremely well.

If you want something that covers all the must-know info about gut health, "Understanding Leaky Gut and Digestive Health" by Ashley Sullivan certainly has it. I liked how easy to follow it was, since I'm not an expert. There's more to the connection between my gut and brain than I thought, and I came away with a lot of great advice on how to keep both healthy. The book covers things like diet, lifestyle choices, and how to keep stress under control.

The narration was great, and it made the book a super easy listen. I think this one deserves an A+ for clarity, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about keeping their gut healthy.

"Somatic Therapy 101" by Lizanne Douglas is a superb "101" type (audio)book. Everything is straightforward and geared toward newbies. However, that doesn't mean it's not full of great stuff. The exercises are nice and short. I think super-busy people will still be able to work on their mind-body axis. Douglas describes everything clearly, too. Together with the nicely done narration, this is definitely an awesome beginner's guide to somatic therapy. For me, it's great for relieving constant stress, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get started with, or is simply curious about, an underappreciated holistic approach.

Everyone's metabolism slows down as they get older, and women have many other hormonal changes that can make staying fit and trim a bit more difficult. Fortunately, "Successful Intermittent Fasting for Women Over 50" by Jennifer Lindsey has some awesome guidance. It can help any woman at that stage manage weight, energy, and any other menopausal symptoms.

Lindsey navigates all the topics well, and presents an easy to follow approach. I think what struck me as most important was the focus on a diet that is actually sustainable. If you get sick of it, or if you're always miserable, you will give up. This audiobook shows how to build the habit of intermittent fasting, so it becomes more of a lifestyle than a "diet," so to speak.

This audiobook (and the accompanying PDF version of the text) also has a lot of charming and motivating anecdotes from people who use IF and manage to plan meals and stay social - some of the biggest hang-ups for lifestyle changes. I think this audiobook should appeal to any woman over 50 who wants to maintain (or increase) their control over weight, energy, focus, digestion, and many other aspects of their health. Highly recommended!

"Florida Real Estate Wholesaling" by Brian Mahoney covers both commercial and residential real estate investing in Florida. It's an audiobook that is suitable for beginners, and it explains all of the financial concepts that most laymen wouldn't be aware of, so it's a very practical guide for rank beginners.

The guide has a ton of info on a wide range of topics like finding properties at a good price and financing your investments through private lenders. I found the section of government grants informative, and the part on crowdfunding was certainly thought-provoking. Beyond the nuts and bolts of real estate, Mahoney covers marketing in a way I didn't expect. It was really cool to hear about YouTube (and other platforms) as marketing platforms - something old-school real estate people might not think of.

Florida is, of course, a specific market, and the target audience of this audiobook is small. That said, Mahoney delivers excellent information to interested parties, whether they are completely new to real estate investing or have already been in the game for a while. It's well worth the time to hear Mahoney's take on how to enter the Florida market, and listeners won't be disappointed.

"Unleashing Your Potential" by Darren Stokes is a wide-ranging self-help audiobook that offers a lot of advice people can start using right away. It manages to do this while avoiding a lot of the cliches that plague the self-improvement space, and I really liked how it drills down on the most important targets for growth. Also, it doesn't skip steps or assume a ton of knowledge on the part of the listener, so I think a lot of people will find it practical.

Stokes comes across as a solid life coach. He successfully reframes setbacks, struggles, and failures as opportunities to explore and expand your potential. It's an honest approach that seems very likely to motivate listeners to grow instead of just learning little "tricks" to navigate life's tough bits. The narration is excellent, too, and it makes it a pleasure to listen to Stokes' ideas.

For anyone who's looking to grow, "Unleashing Your Potential" can help shift your mindset, build stronger relationships, and make better decisions. It's a great audiobook that stands to benefit a lot of people - perhaps even those who don't necessarily think they need any improvement. There's a lot of super useful info here, and listeners should feel amply rewarded for the time spent listening.

"Mastering Emotional Intelligence & Building Mental Toughness" by Amber Preston is an incredibly valuable 2-in-1 bundle. Preston addresses a huge number of issues, like staying in command of your emotions, self-confidence, self-awareness, overthinking, discipline, and mental toughness. Her purpose here is helping people improve their lives, and the audiobook focuses on being practical - successfully. The strategies she outlines seem like they would be a great fit in most people's daily routines.

The biggest strength of the bundle is how Preston breaks things down. Some topics, like social skills and understanding your own emotions, are pretty complicated. However, she explains them clearly without much jargon, and the listeners should have no trouble following along. Both of the narrators did an excellent job as well, so each half of the bundle is a pleasure to listen to. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their sensitivity and understanding of others along with their own resilience and mental toughness. It's an excellent listen!

"Retiring to Thailand" by Geoffreys Publishing serves a niche audience, but it does so extremely well. You should definitely not mistake it for a travel guide; it really focuses on the topic of its title. It answers all of the most pressing questions that should be asked before retiring to Thailand.

For example, it reviews visa requirements, gives info about the real estate market, and covers how the healthcare system works. I also think that the time this audiobook spends on important things like culture, language, and day-to-day living is well-considered. I can imagine that anyone listening to it would feel a lot more comfortable and excited to make their move after listening.

This audiobook is organized very well, and the tone of the writing is straightforward while still inviting. If you're thinking about moving to Thailand, this is an excellent resource to pick up since it has a lot of practical information gathered in one convenient package. It's a great buy for the target audience.
