Story
The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Tough listen but outstanding delivery

Andy does an amazing job at narrating the stories. It's truly blown my mind how much Tolkien lore is a real study and to understand the entirety of his stories, you really do have to undergo some homework. It's been great to lose myself in these tales. A true work of art! And what an outstanding mind Tolkien had!

Story
No one is born a leader. But through sheer determination and by confronting life’s challenges, Ant Middleton has come to know the meaning of true leadership. In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he’s learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. Special forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are strict, and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. There is no mercy. Even when you are bleeding and broken, to admit defeat is failure.

One of the most helpful books I've listened to. Ant really sets the example of how to go on the attack as a leader, but also how to be the patient observant leader.
Amazing advice for those who truly want to succeed in life.

So many life changing messages. From reading once, it has changed the way I go about my day to day life.
Will definitely read this book many more times, as I believe you'll pick up new lessons each time you read this.
Thank you Jay for helping me and I'm sure many more people with your book and your story.

Story
There are times when life feels like it has you cornered: financial difficulties, relationship issues, work problems, all of the above. Every one of us, at one time or another, will have to face up to the challenges that come our way. And there are two ways of meeting them: negatively, where blame is the answer, where other people are at fault, where you haven’t been treated fairly. Or positively, where you own the situation, learn and grow from it and become a better person at the end of it.

You could read this book over and over again, and still find a new message that will resonate with you.
The way Ant describes having integrity about your actions in life and how more people need to own their sh**, and that will inevitably be a positive outcome (positive or negative), is just top class!
Thank you for sharing your stories, experiences and life's lessons with us Ant.

Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Story
I've been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42 and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.

Genuinely the best biography I've ever listened to.
Truly inspirational and captivating, start to finish.
I've written down many of the "Green Lights" and "Bumper Stickers" to put into practice in my own life.
Thank you Matthew McConaughey for writing and speaking your story. It will definitely help me throughout my lifetime and I'm sure I'll revisit your story many times.
