UNbeleivebly easy to understand!

Reviewed: 18-05-23 Listener received this title free

This book is for anyone who is interested in understanding more about light, time/space, atoms, energy and nuclear power/radiation, but are afraid to ask for fear of sounding dumb. The truth is ,.. most of us have forgotten the basics that we learned in school, because we didn't see how any of it would ever be useful later in life. This book is easy to listen to, easy to understand, and actually kind of fun--- while educating you at the same time! The discoveries and theories of Max Planck, Albert Einstein (and more) are discussed, with entertainment-friendly dialogue, historical facts, and philosophy srinkled in with the science. Listen to this book, and you can be the smartest person in the room at your next party, or have a better understanding of physics when you are caught at a wedding or fundraiser surrounded by pseudo-intellectuals :). I especially loved the comparison to Superman, it was enlightening AND it made me smile! As a side note...the person who voiced the audio is pleasant to listen to, making it easy to stay engaged with the content! A must-read for beginning students, curiouos minds, or people who need a refresher!

Reviewed: 18-04-23 Listener received this title free

If dementia runs in your family, listen to this book NOW so that you can be fully prepared for the tasks ahead of you in the future. If you are already caring for a loved one with dementia, you will benefit from the many tips about how to phrase things and do things in such a way as to keep your loved one in the best possible mood. There are activity suggestions included to help the patient exercise their mind. The types of dementia, and the biological processes that cause memory loss are described and explained. Resources are given in the book as well. Lists are given for you to check for signs of cognitive decline, as well for signs that the loved one needs a care home instead of a caregiver ( and how to find a good one!). The author also discusses the types of end-of-life plans you need to tackle with the loved one while they are still in the early stages, and also has special sections on self-care for the caregiver themselves. The narrator is pleasant to listen to as well. This book is extremely comprehensive and I would recommend that the entire family buy it and listen to it!

I'm 60 and I thought it was very comprehensive!

Reviewed: 16-04-23 Listener received this title free

I'm 60 and I found this book to be very comprehensive... there are a lot of obvious things in this book (like quitting smoking), BUT even though we know them, we have ignored the advice over the years, thinking "it's not going to happen to me". But this audiobook will bring all these things back to your attention, and remind you that it's time to start taking care of things. I like that the advice is enumerated, so you can go back and make a checklist of things you might want to prioritize, The book covered a variety of areas in life, not just health issues. I liked that there was info on wills, legal issues, and technology. This audiobook is a simple, easy-to-follow listen, and if you follow the advice you will increase your lifespan as well as make your senior years more interesting, fulfilling, and enjoyable!

A Great Start to Learn Pickleball!

Reviewed: 13-04-23 Listener received this title free

I was curious to know more about pickleball, as it is becoming part of US culture. The book gives you a complete overall look at the basics, PLUS added info to make you a good player with a winning edge! It starts out explaining why pickleball is so popular, the origins and evolution of the game, and stories about famous pickleball players. Then it moves on to basic equipment, attire, the court, and safety and fitness concerns. It explains all the terminology which is a must for beginners and people who are curious to see if they might like the game. YOu learn about how to join groups or find courts in your area. It also explains techniques to improve your play, and practices or "drills" that will help you acquire the muscle memory for the basic skills, To bring everything one step further, the author discusses the best singles and doubles strategies to win. I was really impressed by the specifics that were explained ( which would probably take you years of playing to figure out on your own!). Finally, they give you the top 10 strategies to improve your game and become a formidable opponent! All the technical info is interlaced with personal stories of people for whom pickleball changed or improved their life. Whether you just want to know about this new craze, want to start playing, or want to improve your game, you can glean something valuable from this audiobook!

An amazing book on a fascinating subject!

Reviewed: 12-04-23 Listener received this title free

I had an acquaintance who once mentioned to me that they were a "highly sensitive person". I had never heard the term and didn't know what it was. Do you feel highly sensitive to all outside stimuli, other people's feelings, or perhaps your family or partner thinks you often "overreact"? Then this could be you! This audiobook delves into the subject and gives you background on all the research, the history, background, character traits, coping suggestions, and more --- all wrapped into a convenient and easy-to-understand book! In addition, the female narrator was pleasant and easy to listen to. Have a listen and find out if you are a "HSP"! The amount of information in this book is amazing, and could change your life.

A fun and fantastic listen for all ages!

Reviewed: 11-04-23 Listener received this title free

This audiobook is great for kids AND adults! There are enough trivia and historical facts in here to keep you entertained no matter what your age. Even if you are not an avid airplane buff, you will still find it super-interesting.... so even if only one of your kids likes planes, your other kids will still be entertained during the listen ( which of course makes it great for car rides or long waits in the doctor's office)! Background music and sound effects enhance the listening experience for younger listeners. And the narrator sounds like Jeff Bridges (to me, anyway), which makes it seem like a Netflix documentary for adults. Awaken your child's scientific curiosity, or brush up on your own knowledge in an easy, fun way by listening to this charming audiobook!

BUY THIS FOR YOUR HUSBAND NOW!

Reviewed: 10-04-23 Listener received this title free

I am a female and I wanted to listen to this book to see if it was truly useful. I was pleasantly surprised and amazed at how THOROUGHLY the subject of being a new dad was covered! I loved that there were detail-oriented sections, such as packing the hospital bag and baby-proofing the house; medical details (very detailed stuff about labor and the actual birth!), and even psychological info-- such as dealing with post-partem depression and how to re-connect as a couple after the baby is born. This book covers SO MUCH MORE than feeding schedules and diaper changing! Everything is explained in a clear, intelligent fashion; it won't make your man feel talked-down-to or frightened. The audio is clear and easy to listen to. A daddy-to-be will walk into parenthood fully prepared if he is armed with a copy of this book or audiobook!

Everything about making $$ with AirBnB

Reviewed: 20-03-23 Listener received this title free

I thought this was a very comprehensive collection of ideas on how to start an Airbnb rental, and how to maximize the ability to make profits using the Airbnb platform. I was glad they touched on making sure you check your area's legalities for doing it first. I was also very impressed with all the ideas they gave to make your AirBnB rental stand out a cut above the rest in a sea of competition. As a former property manager, I was impressed with a lot of the suggestions and tricks of the trade, many of which are used by professionals but are now shared with you! They add tips about the little extras for an outstanding guest experience, and explanations of how to best deal with problems with guests. The section on branding was phenomenal to help you turn short-term homestay into a professional income producing business. I thought the narrator sounded sort of robotic (which is why I only gave 4 out of 5 stars on the performance, otherwise it would have been straight 5s across the board), but if you speed his voice up just a tiny bit (1.1 or 1.2 speed) he sounds more normal.
