It started off with nice, relaxing music.
The clanging bells later were not relaxing and they woke me up.
I'm returning this one.

Story4 out of 5 stars 9
“Scotch-Irish” is an American term that became popular in the latter 1800s, referring to the largely Protestant immigrants to the United States originating in the northern Irish province of Ulster. The majority of Scotch-Irish were people intentionally settled in Ulster as a counter to the native Catholic Irish, who immigrated to Ulster from the lowlands of Scotland and the borderlands between England and Scotland.

It gave a brief history and included the influence of the Scotch-Irish on modern-day America.
The narration was good.
Anyone wanting to know more about this group would enjoy this book.

Time blindness is defined as the inability to accurately sense the passing of time. It is important to note that rather than an intentional disregard for time, time blindness is a sensory issue that can cause nearly every aspect of your life to be more difficult than someone who has a good sense of the passage of time.

Recognize the person with time blindness is NOT behaving this way on purpose. Understand that there are two kinds of time for this person - now and not now. Encourage self regulation by having clocks in every rooms, setting multiple alarms, tripling the estimated time things take, etc. It's an impairment. Don't blame.

A beautiful story narrated perfectly.
I truly enjoyed the story of a boy caught between cultures and the transformative friendship he had with a Tibetan Holy Man.

In The Missing Element, author Debra Silverman describes human nature in a compassionate and succinct way. Everyone longs to be understood and the author offers ways for us to get to know ourselves in depth with the wisdom of archetypes. The information in this audiobook stands on the shoulders of our elders, who understood the four directions, the four elements, the four noble truths. Whatever pain you experience is specific to your personality type, based on the four elements.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

I listened to this while recovering from depression.
There are lots of common sense ideas in here that we tend to forget.
"We don't exist to serve out space - it exists to serve us."
Without perfectionism or shaming, the author explains how to function in regard to housekeeping.
I also went to her website and bought her mental health bundle, a cookbook with simple recipes, and a meal planning print-out.
(Note: the large file had to be unzipped.)
Her approach has been really helpful!

The burning. The sore heel. The pain of those first morning steps. When you suffer from plantar fasciitis, even the simplest tasks can seem unbearable - and the treatment can often feel as frustrating as the ailment itself. However, treating plantar fasciitis doesn't have to be a slow and painful process. In most cases, in fact, treatment can be simple, inexpensive, and highly effective. Dr. Colin Dombroski has helped thousands of patients alleviate plantar fasciitis, and now he draws on his personal experiences and painstaking research to provide a comprehensive guide.

Lots of details about PF and plenty of hope.
Most people can recover.
This book takes a more scientific approach than some I've seen. There is a long discussion of orthotics.
Prevention, including exercises and slow plans for resuming running, are included.

I split my sides laughing!
The oh-so-solemn voice of the narrator was perfect. He ridiculed our endless quest for enlightenment and fulfillment by looking in all the wrong places, such as by finding "mindfulness" (Ha!) in an endless line at Starbucks, or by gazing into infinity and our smartphones at the same time. Don't lose your sh** or your serenity! Do you need a good laugh? This will do the job.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
For the ancient Greeks, there were few divine beings more important, and more generous, to humanity than the goddess Athena. She was also called "Pallas", "Pallas Athena", and (to the Romans) "Minerva". The daughter of Zeus, Athena was famous as a virgin warrior woman who was born from her father's skull bearing a helmet, shield, and spear. Yet she was far more than simply a warrior goddess.
