The Very Cool Life Code: The 7 Keys to Unlocking a Life of Freedom, Ease, and Connection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
What's your version of a very cool life? Running a thriving business? Skiing 100 days a year? Being a great parent? Connecting with the love of your life? Having more than enough money to do fun things? Living life on your own terms? Maybe, it's all of the above. Or, perhaps, something entirely different. You get to choose what your version of a very cool life looks like. However, if you want to live it instead of just dream about it, you're going to need to know the rules of the game - the very cool life code.The Very Cool Life Code is a seven-step system (called U.P.G.R.A.D.E.) based on universal laws that challenges the traditional ideas that success is all about working harder, acquiring more stuff, or striving to claw your way to the top. Most people are taught to chase after someone else’s definition of success with the hope that if they achieve all their goals, somehow, this will translate into a happy life. The Very Cool Life Code completely turns this common notion on its ear. Instead, when you make "feeling great" your priority (and learn the right way to design your life to feel great easily), you attract more cool things into your life. Here are the seven keys of the code: U.P.G.R.A.D.E. U - Universal law is always at work P - Practice radical responsibility G - Go inward first R - Routines determine results A - Act from alignment D - Decide to act "as if" E - Elevate your environmentsIf this resonates with you, the good news is that once you know and apply the code, it’s incredibly effective. Best of all, it’s simple and easy to learn. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Drew Rozell, PhD. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/173583/bk_acx0_173583_sample.mp3.

As a combat soldier fighting your way across Europe, what is the plan when you come across a Holocaust train full of suffering humanity that shocks you to your core, even after you think you have seen it all? And what happens when you get to meet the survivors face-to-face, two generations later?From the author of The Things Our Fathers Saw in the World War II eyewitness history series comes this book, offering the true story behind an iconic photograph taken at the liberation of a death train, deep in the heart of Nazi Germany.
