Do you ever feel like you’re just not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough in certain areas? Do these beliefs keep you from seeking out new opportunities or challenges, because you’re afraid of failing? If so, you may be suffering from a "fixed mindset." In contrast, a "growth mindset" is the belief that you can increase your ability or develop your attributes-that you can adapt and learn from your mistakes. But how do you cultivate a growth mindset? The Growth Mindset Workbook offers essential skills grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change the way you think about your own talents and abilities. Based on the core principles outlined in Mindset by Carol Dweck, this workbook will help you shed unhelpful and self-limiting attitudes and beliefs, and replace them with a growth mindset that can increase resiliency, boost self-confidence, and form the foundation of a meaningful, values-based life. The most important thing to remember is that a growth mindset can be learned, and doing so can positively impact how you think, feel, and act. If you’re ready to say yes to life’s challenges and maximize your potential, this step-by-step guide can show you the way.

Free Download The Grief Cure: Looking for the End of Loss (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CJL4N2YD | 2024 | 5 hours and 49 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 323 MB
Author: Cody Delistraty
Narrator: Sean Pratt
In this lyrical and moving story of the world of Prolonged Grief, journalist Cody Delistraty reflects on his experience with loss and explores what modern science, history, and literature reveal about the nature of our relationship to grief and our changing attitudes toward its cure. When Cody Delistraty lost his mother to cancer in his early 20s, he found himself unsure how to move forward. The typical advice was to move through the five stages, achieve closure, get back to work, go back to normal. So begins a journey into the new frontiers of grief, where Delistraty seeks out the researchers, technologists, therapists, marketers, and communities around the world who may be able to cure the pain of loss in novel ways. From the neuroscience of memory deletion to book prescriptions, laughter therapy, psilocybin, and Breakup Bootcamp, what ultimately emerges is not so much a cure as a fresh understanding of what living with grief truly means.

English | ASIN: B0CP85Y7Z7 | 2024 | 8 hours and 29 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 242 MB
Author: John Philip Newell
Narrator: John Philip Newell
The story of Adam and Eve’s fall from innocence in the Garden of Eden is a mythical account of humanity’s broken relationship with the divine, with Earth, and with themselves. In contrast, Celtic wisdom is built on a strong bond with Earth. In the prophetic figures that Newell draws from, the Garden of Eden represents the inner garden of our souls and the outer garden of Earth, which are seen as essentially one. To live in relation to what is deepest in us is to live in relation to the ground from which we and all things have come. Where are we today, in relation to our true selves and the sacredness of Earth? And how are we to find our way home again? This life-affirming, nourishing book contemplates these questions at a moment of great spiritual awakening, an era characterized by religious exile on a vast scale. We need a new sense of home spiritually, deeply rooted within ourselves and in our shared journey with each other and Earth.

Free Download The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0D31Z3YQG | 2024 | 10 hours and 18 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 291 MB
Author: Boyce Upholt
Narrator: Gabriel Vaughan
A sweeping history of the Mississippi River-and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson’s expansionist land hunger through today’s era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering-government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams-has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what’s been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

English | ASIN: B0CQ9S2ZZY | 2023 | 5 hours and 31 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 306 MB
Author: Mike Maloney
Narrator: Mike Maloney
The greatest wealth building opportunity of this generation is here. When you compare the ’70s gold bull market to today, the magnitude of the potential gains become obvious. In the 1970s gold rose 25 times its original price, and silver 41 times. Today there is twice as much investable gold, but there are also: 18 times more people that can access, and legally buy, precious metals. 55 times more currency. 56 times more millionaires. 200 times more billionaires. 220 times more available consumer credit. 49 times greater global stock market cap. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bestselling author Michael Maloney makes the case that while stocks, real estate, crypto, bonds, and nearly every major asset class have boomed, gold and silver have been largely ignored, and are now among the world’s last, and most, undervalued assets. But a shift is underway. The coming flight to safety will be staggering… and gold and silver will be the big winners. The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st-Century provides a roadmap for navigating the coming economic storm. The knowledge it contains will help you protect yourself, your family, and your assets through the turbulent times ahead. Most will be devastated, many will be totally ruined, but those few who are prepared can massively increase their wealth.

English | March 05, 2015 | ASIN: B00UB28XJ2 | M4B@64 kbps | 7h 7m | 206 MB
Authors: Jack Stack, Bo Burlingham | Narrators: Jack Stack, Stephen Baker
In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. That’s when a green young manager, Jack Stack, took over and turned it around. He didn’t know how to "manage" a company, but he did know about the principal, of athletic competition and democracy: keeping score, having fun, playing fair, providing choice, and having a voice.
With these principles he created his own style of management – open-book management. The key is to let everyone in on financial decisions. At SRC, everyone learns how to read a P&L – even those without a high school education know how much the toilet paper they use cuts into profits. SRC people have a piece of the action and a vote in company matters. Imagine having a vote on your bonus and on what businesses the company should be in. SRC restored the dignity of economic freedom to its people. Stack’s "open-book management" is the key – a system which, as he describes it here, is literally a game, and one so simple anyone can use it.

Free Download The Great Divide: Unequal Societies and What We Can Do About Them by Joseph E. Stiglitz, Kevin Pariseau, Audible Studios
English | August 04, 2017 | ISBN: B00YT65X1M | 14 hours and 41 minutes | M4B 64 Kbps | 507 Mb
How has America become the most unequal advanced country in the world, and what can we do about it?
In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter America’s growing problem. With his signature blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice – the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities.
Gathering his writings for popular outlets including Vanity Fair and The New York Times, Stiglitz exposes in full America’s inequality: its dimensions, its causes, and its consequences for the nation and for the world. From the Reagan era to the Great Recession and its long aftermath, Stiglitz delves into the irresponsible policies – deregulation, tax cuts, and tax breaks for the 1 percent – that are leaving many Americans further and further behind and turning the American dream into an ever more unachievable myth. With formidable yet accessible economic insight, he urges us to embrace real solutions: increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy; offering more help to the children of the poor; investing in education, science, and infrastructure; helping out homeowners instead of banks; and, most importantly, doing more to restore the economy to full employment. Stiglitz also draws lessons from Scandinavia, Singapore, and Japan, and he argues against the tide of unnecessary, destructive austerity that is sweeping across Europe.

Author: Admiral Bob Harward
Narrator: Tim Andres Pabon
You are measured by what you do for others, not by what you have accomplished for yourself. The Gouge, in military parlance, is what you really need to know in order to be smarter than the situation you are in. As a US Navy SEAL, who became a Vice Admiral, Bob Harward lived by the Gouge and used it as a guiding principle for leadership and day-to-day life. More specifically, his success in his military and corporate careers was predicated on the people who worked with him, and for him. Their ability to meet their personal and professional objectives, ensured his success.

Author: Lerone A. Martin | Narrator: Langston Darby
The shocking untold story of how the FBI partnered with white evangelicals to champion a vision of America as a white Christian nation.
Lerone Martin draws on thousands of newly declassified FBI documents and memos to describe how, under J. Edgar Hoover’s leadership, FBI agents attended spiritual retreats and worship services, creating an FBI religious culture that fashioned G-men into soldiers and ministers of Christian America. Martin shows how prominent figures such as Billy Graham, Fulton Sheen, and countless other ministers from across the country partnered with the FBI and laundered bureau intel in their sermons while the faithful crowned Hoover the adjudicator of true evangelical faith and allegiance. These partnerships not only solidified the political norms of modern white evangelicalism, they also contributed to the political rise of white Christian nationalism, establishing religion and race as the bedrock of the modern national security state, and setting the terms for today’s domestic terrorism debates.

Free Download Nina Guilbeault (Author, Narrator), "The Good Eater: A Vegan’s Search for the Future of Food"
English | ASIN: B0D67XTH89 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:52:00 | 188 MB
For years, there has been no doubt that widespread consumption of meat is both environmentally destructive and morally dubious. A growing chorus of scientists, health experts, and activists champion the benefits of a plant-based diet. Nevertheless, change has been slow to arrive, and the chasm between our appetites and our collective well-being seems impossibly vast. We know we must transition to a more plant-based world. But what would such a world look like, and how do we realistically get there?
One group of people has been grappling with this question for decades: vegans. Once mocked for its hempy puritanism, the vegan movement has grown into a veritable cultural juggernaut. Yet visions of what our food system should look like continue to conflict. Is the healthful vegan lifestyle appealing-or alienating? Are high-tech meat alternatives merely a repeat performance of harmful fast-food values? Is modern veganism itself misguided-a wrong answer to the right questions?
In The Good Eater, Harvard-trained sociologist (and vegan) Nina Guilbeault, PhD, vividly explores the movement’s history and its present-day tensions by grappling with the most fundamental question of all: Is there a truly ethical way to eat? What emerges is a fascinating portrait of how social change happens, with profound implications for our plates-and our planet.
