During 1947, Bill toured the United States and Canada drumming up support for the 12 Traditions. The membership, not aware of the wide range of problems the New York Office had been addressing since AA became popular in the early 1940s, often saw no need for the Traditions.

This is the best Speech I've ever heard. Being an Alcoholic myself I received great insights into alot of my Charcter flaws. Bill Wilson himself being the Speaker. Really glad I bought this Audible Recording.

Now at last Keith Richards pauses to tell his story in the most anticipated autobiography in decades. And what a story! Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records in a coldwater flat with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, building a sound and a band out of music they loved. Finding fame and success as a bad-boy band, only to find themselves challenged by authorities everywhere....

Did not want this Book to end. Will read this over and over. Liked it so much I've got 2 Hardcovers,and this Audible Book. I've been a Fan all my Life. Keith answered so many questions I had about him and the Stones. This has to be the best Audible Book I've bought so far. The Narrators were superb as well. I'm so grateful he wrote this Book. Thank Keith. What a wonderful Autobiography.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 501
Spinoza's brilliant metaphysical system was derived neither from reality nor experience. Starting from basic assumptions, with a series of geometric proofs he built a universe which was also God, one and the same thing, the classic example of pantheism. Although his system seems an oddity today, Spinoza's conclusions are deeply in accord with modern thought, from science (the holistic ethics of today's ecologists) to politics (the idea that the state exists to protect the individual).

Story5 out of 5 stars 6
What does man seek in religion, and what should he seek in it? How does God reveal Himself in order to bring man to a knowledge of the Truth? How does suffering help this revelation to occur? These and other questions were discussed by Fr. Seraphim Rose, an Orthodox Christian monk from the mountains of northern California, during a lecture he gave at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1981. The contents of this lecture comprise the present book, which includes Fr. Seraphim’s answers to questions asked by the university students.

I liked the fact that ST Anthony demonstrates like other Saints that Demons take on physical form. UFO Demons. His courage ,and Faith make me feel small. I love all the Orthodox Saints. They keep me going in my darkest hour. I don't have the words to describe this Blessed Book.

This is the best Book on Self Discipline I've ever heard on Audible. I've never heard the subject so well defined. I've read ,and listened to many Books on Self Discipline, but this is the Shortest most well explained I've encountered. I never stopped listening until it was over. I will listen to this Book over and over again. Truthfully I can't describe in words how wonderful this Book is. Very grateful for this gifted Author .

Your best intentions are not enough. Learn how to scientifically engineer a disciplined existence, become relentless, and never give up. Whatever you want in your life, self-discipline is the missing piece. Goals will remain dreams if you make the mistake of relying on motivation and your best drawn plans. The Science of Self-Discipline is a deep look into what allows us to resist our worst impulses and simply execute, achieve, produce, and focus. Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.
