Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World Audiobook
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.
Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.
"Powerful." --USA Today
"Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post
"Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes
“Excellent—a must listen to book! It's very uplifting and encouraging. I listen to this book every couple of months and each time, I find myself standing straighter and whining less because as the Admiral says, some days you're the sugar cookie, and sometimes it only takes one voice in the dark.”

Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies about Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be Audiobook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Do you ever suspect that everyone else has life figured out and you don’t have a clue? If so, Rachel Hollis has something to tell you: that’s a lie.
As the founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com and CEO of her own media company, Rachel Hollis developed an immense online community by sharing tips for better living while fearlessly revealing the messiness of her own life. Now, in this challenging and inspiring book, Rachel exposes the twenty lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we’ve told ourselves so often we don’t even hear them anymore.
With painful honesty and fearless humor, Rachel unpacks and examines the falsehoods that once left her feeling overwhelmed and unworthy, and reveals the specific practical strategies that helped her move past them. In the process, she encourages, entertains, and even kicks a little butt, all to convince you to do whatever it takes to get real and become the joyous, confident woman you were meant to be.
With unflinching faith and rock-hard tenacity, Girl, Wash Your Face shows you how to live with passion and hustle--and how to give yourself grace without giving up.
“This book is amazing!! I cant say enough great things about it. Rachel is down to earth, funny, direct but not condescending, and she touches on all of the lies women tell themselves, sometimes without us even realizing we are doing it! I want my mom and my sister, and heck, all the women I know to read this book. It has totally changed the way I look at things. I feel empowered and excited to really look at my life through a different lens. I heard her talk about how women need their tribe, their friends and supporters, and I realized I didn’t have that as I’ve recently moved to a new place and don’t make friends easily, and her words encouraged me to reach out to some people I didn’t know that well and it was very liberating to share with them. I wouldn’t have done it before I read this book. Again, great read. 😀”

Unfu*k Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and into Your Life Audiobook
New York Times Bestseller
Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings comes this refreshing, BS-free, self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations.
Are you tired of feeling fu*ked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unfu*ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a fu*king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way, it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive, it's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.
In Unfu*k Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions:
- I am willing
- I am wired to win
- I got this
- I embrace the uncertainty
- I am not my thoughts; I am what I do
- I am relentless
- I expect nothing and accept everything
Lead the life you were meant to have—Unfu*k Yourself.
“Plain and simple, Gary just gets it. No other self development book has ever helped me as much as this one. Thank you Gary for changing the trajectory of my life. So incredibly grateful. God bless you! Aloha from Hawaii.”

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing Audiobook
Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list).
With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), this international bestseller featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.
“Narrator Emily Woo Zeller captures the voice of author Marie Kondo so perfectly that it’s as if the Japanese de-cluttering guru is speaking in person. Zeller uses delightful character voices during quotes from Kondo’s clients, conveys the wry humor in how tidying can actually change your life, and evokes a Zen-like quality to the advice on letting clutter go with gratitude. Zeller expertly conveys the author’s obsession with tidying, along with her self-effacing humor and nonjudgmental outlook…This audiobook is perfect for listeners looking for inspiration as well as those who enjoy Japanese culture. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

The Power of I Am: Two Words That Will Change Your Life Today Audiobook
Transform your self-image and embrace the power of positive thinking with two simple words: declare "I Am" and celebrate the life God has created for you!
Whatever follows the words "I am" will always come looking for you.
So, when you go through the day saying:
"I am blessed" . . . blessings pursue you.
"I am talented" . . . talent follows you.
"I am healthy". . . health heads your way.
"I am strong". . . strength tracks you down.
Joel Osteen reveals how The Power of I Am can help you discover your unique abilities and advantages to lead a more productive and happier life. His insights and encouragement are illustrated with many amazing stories of people who turned their lives around by focusing on the positive power of this principle. You can choose to rise to a new level and invite God's goodness by focusing on these two words: I AM!
“Osteen…focuses on each individual’s self-definition and the affirmations we make each day that define us. His fundamental assumption of self-determination is easily understood: ‘Whatever follows the ‘I am’ will eventually find you.’ Speak defeat and discouragement, and you attract these to your life. But speak health and wholeness, and these will become realities for you…Directing believers to look beyond their own needs and wants, Osteen advances his message to a higher plane, advocating a life of reaching out and sharing your blessings.”

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life Audiobook
#1 New York Times Bestseller • More than 10 million Copies Sold
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ""positive"" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ""F**k positivity,"" Mark Manson says. ""Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it."" In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—""not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault."" Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
“Plain-spoken and full of wisdom. This book will hold a special place in my heart as one of the first self-help audiobooks I listened through. I got a lot out of it, and admire the author's staunchness in asserting that most of our problems are self-created, and only "fixed" if we choose to give a f*** about something else. This is not feel-good pop-psychology/self-help. It's cold, spoken from experience, and does not claim ultimate authority. If you want some solid, simple, ideas for letting go of persistent stressors in your life, take a look here.”

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change Audiobook
Stephen Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' has sold over 25 million copies in print while The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People audiobook has sold over 15 million copies. It was the first non-fiction audiobook to sell over a million copies. Covey believes that values are internal to an individual whereas principles are external and he has written a book about matching your intrinsic values to basic principles that have always been the same e.g., the principles of honesty, integrity, empathy, kindness etc. These are all values that we grew up learning but they may have shifted within us with the coming of adulthood. However, by following the 7 Habits, we can gain them back and discover our "true north."
Covey's idea is that there is enough for everyone in this world. So there's really no point in being competitive and trying to cut the other person out. One can have a win-win situation where both parties benefit. This is what Covey calls the concept of abundance. If you keep in mind that there's enough for everyone, you won't constantly worry about things that you can't control. Instead you'll try to change the things that you can control, which will give you a feeling of satisfaction and get you closer to your ultimate aim in life.
Covey's first habit is to be proactive, which means not placing the blame for what's wrong with your life on others or on factors that are outside of yourself. If your life isn't what you want it to be then that's because you haven't done what's necessary to make it so. This can be an empowering way to think because it means that it's within your power to effect change. Habit 2 is to keep the end in mind or to take the long-term outlook. Habit 3 is prioritizing and doing what you consider more important in your life. This might seem easy but often, life gets in the way of doing what you really want.
The next three habits are about your relationships with other people, thinking with the abundance mentality and therefore developing empathy for others and working with them cooperatively. The last habit involves taking care of yourself; your physical, mental and spiritual health is important and if you don't treat yourself well, you can't expect to perform effectively or to have good relationships with others.
Stephen Covey was born and raised in Utah. He went to school at the University of Utah and then did an MBA at Harvard, followed by a Doctor of Religious Education at Brigham Young University. The father of nine and the grandfather of 52, he was awarded the Fatherhood Award by the National Fatherhood Initiative in 2003. He died in 2012 due to complications resulting from a fall from his bicycle nearly a year earlier. He has also written The 8th Habit, a book about aspiring to greatness by finding your voice and helping others find theirs.

“I recall first reading this book in my high school health class. We read it as a whole class. The most memorable moment from this book was Win-Win situations. I believe that Mr. Covey has positively impacted all of humanity through his good works. Definitely one of my favorites. Recommended.”

Girl, Stop Apologizing: A Shame-Free Plan for Embracing and Achieving Your Goals Audiobook
Rachel Hollis, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Wash Your Face and host of the top-rated Rise podcast, urges women to stop apologizing for their desires, hopes, and dreams and instead to go after them with passion and confidence.
Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women being afraid of their own goals. They’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough. But the biggest fear of all is of being judged for having ambition at all.
Having been taught to define themselves in light of other people—whether as wife, mother, daughter, friend, or team member—many women have forgotten who they are and what they were meant to be. In Girl, Stop Apologizing, entrepreneur and online personality (TheChicSite.com) Rachel Hollis encourages women to own their hopes, desires, and goals and reminds them they don’t need permission to want more. With a call to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and the biggest possible version of their lives.
“In this passionate guide to building confidence…[Hollis] relates stories of personal struggle to illustrate how lies can hold women back…Hollis writes with an authority that feels grounded and tested…Hollis’ writing is beautifully blunt…Her actionable ideas and captivating voice will encourage women to believe in themselves.”
