Motherhood is demanding (to say the least), but when all of your mental and physical energy is directed towards a tiny human, you are neglecting yourself. And when you are neglected, you don’t have the energy or strength to take care of your completely dependent newborn. But you’re probably thinking how can I possibly put my needs above those of my baby? The truth of the matter is, your baby needs you to be at your best, and this is achieved through self-care. Self-care has many misconceptions, and due to the prefix, it’s all too often associated with selfishness.

Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

Story
In the most famous scandal of sports history, eight Chicago White Sox players - including Shoeless Joe Jackson - agreed to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for the promise of $20,000 each from gamblers reportedly working for New York mobster Arnold Rothstein. Heavily favored, Chicago lost the Series five games to three. Although rumors of a fix flew while the series was being played, they were largely disregarded by players and the public at large.

Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Just Buy the Book
The audiobook doesn't do too much good without a PDF for charts. A LOT of chart reading. Very disappointing but I was on a road trip and didn't read the contents, my bad.

A Fountain of Youth in Audiobook Form
After witnessing a steady decline in my mom’s energy and mobility, I knew something needed to change. A friend recommended “Strength Training for Seniors,” and, oh boy, what a difference it has made! The simple, well-explained exercises offer a gentle yet impactful introduction to strength training for her. The book doesn’t just stop at exercises; the bits about cultivating lasting healthy habits were the cherries on top. Now, Mom is looking forward to her workout sessions. It's so much more than a fitness guide; it's a ticket to a healthier, more fulfilling life for my aging parent. This isn’t just an audiobook, it’s an investment in longevity.

Thank you, Amy Neal, for the perfect audiobook for parents that don't want to always listen to their children. Highly recommend this book!

EASY-TO-FOLLOW PATH TO DYNAMIC WELL-BEING!
Author Amy Neal has created a wonderful, easy-to-follow book that not only promises enhanced health, strength, and well-being but actually delivers!
Now in my 70’s, I am intimately aware of the correlation between exercise and well-being. What impressed me so much about “Strength Training for Seniors” was how practical the various exercise elements were, addressing seniors regardless of their fitness level. In other words, it’s easy and gentle to find exactly what’s right for your strength training in this important book. We seniors all worry about falling, not only to avoid the very typical fractured pelvis resulting from such falls but simply to get back up again! Ms. Neal’s 12 basic at-home workouts address all the basic muscle groups, and the stretches (which feel GOOD by the way) definitely increase mobility, and make getting up from the floor easier and easier.. The more indefinable quality of self-confidence that comes from increasing strength, better balance, and a general improvement in well-being is a happy glow that most will willingly welcome into their lives.
I found plenty of motivation in this book, which, by the way, is very engagingly narrated by Sera Chance, and I also resonated with the real-life success stories shared throughout.
Even more importantly, Ms. Neal’s insights provide a SAFE path towards better health while remaining eminently adaptable to whatever the reader’s situation may be. Whether you’re already in your senior years or have parents who can (and will) benefit in their golden years, getting yourself a copy or gifting it to someone you care about is highly recommended!

Perfect for Everyday!
Amy Neal's "Strength Training for Seniors" is a well-structured, informative, and encouraging resource for seniors seeking to maintain and improve their physical and emotional well-being. Its focus on practicality and gradual progression ensures that seniors of all fitness levels can benefit from its guidance. This book is not just about exercise; it's about reclaiming strength, vitality, and confidence in the golden years. Beyond the exercises themselves, the book delves into the importance of cultivating healthy habits for long-term well-being. It recognizes that fitness isn't just about physical strength; it profoundly impacts emotional well-being. Studies cited in the book highlight the mood-enhancing and heart-strengthening benefits of regular strength training for seniors. I highly recommend for anyone looking to obtain more flexibility and stableness in their lives.

A great gift!
I gifted this audiobook to my grandparents in hopes of inspiring them to embrace an active lifestyle. After the hurdle of teaching them how audiobooks work, they were initially hesitant, but the book's straightforward approach quickly built their confidence. What surprised me the most was how these exercises positively affected their emotional well-being. I'm not sure if they would admit it, but I noticed improved mood and energy for sure! Highly recommended!
