The Mentor Myth: How to Take Control of Your Own Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 319min
Mentors are over-utilized, undertrained, and often under deliver. From an employer's perspective, assigning a mentor is often a band aid to a larger problem. From an employee's perspective, a lack of formal mentorship is seen as a serious, career-inhibiting problem, the equivalent of sailing a boat without a rudder. In The Mentor Myth, Debby Carreau represents this dichotomy, explaining that while a mentor's counsel can be invaluable, it is not the silver bullet human resources professionals often purport it to be. The opinions of a mentor are one data point, one piece in the much more complex game of navigating a career. In fact, the increasing overreliance on mentorship can actually be a hindrance to a successful career. Instead of continually looking outward for career guidance, aspiring professionals must realize that they possess all the tools necessary to take control of their own careers by using their own strengths, capabilities, and visions of success. Through her years of experience consulting, speaking, and writing about career development, Debby has created a comprehensive, easy-to-implement guide for taking ownership of your professional success. Debby begins by helping the listener create a professional roadmap, including how to build a personal brand, project the right amount of confidence, and manage time. She addresses mentors in the context of networks and sponsors, advising the listener how to incorporate outward influences rather than be defined by them. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Fearless: The Solomon Brothers Series, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 258min
MMA fighter Henry Lorenz relies on discipline as much as strength to get through life. With his former mentor's boxing gym now in his hands, Henry is busy training a new generation -- including the troubled teen who reminds him of his own past. Despite a spirited social worker's attempts to intervene, Henry won't stop grooming the kid for success. The counselor is as stubborn as she is beautiful, but perhaps he can prove to her that there's more to fighting than knowing how to throw a punch. Guidance counselor Maggie Kavanaugh gives everything she has to keep kids away from the violence of the streets. She's busy teaching teens to use their brains, not their fists, to get ahead in life. When one of her most talented teens begins training in MMA, Maggie doesn't approve. The gym's owner may be covered in muscles and tattoos, but Maggie won't back down -- especially when a scholarship is on the line. She'll let the training continue, but she's going to be watching every step of the way. While Henry is trying to right old wrongs, Maggie is determined to shape the future. But as their attraction grows, a dark moment from Henry's past threatens to come between them. He may be a man of few words, but should he stay silent when speaking up may ruin everything? Even for a fighter like Henry, none of us are fearless -- particularly when it comes to love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Roberts.

Scandalous behavior and roguish deeds are in his skill set and he doesn't mind flaunting both. He doesn't get involved with innocents or marriage minded ladies. So when Lady Kaitlin Evans asks him for a kiss he has no choice but to refuse her. Not only is she close to his sister, she's his mentor's niece. She's off limits. So why does he suddenly find her fascinating and kissing her is the one thing he desires more than anything.... Lady Kaitlin Evans is an orphan.

It's less heartbreaking and she can read as much as she wants to without interruption. There is only one thing she wants before she retires from society forever - a kiss from the earl of Shelby.

Summary, Analysis, and Review of Shauna Niequist's Present over Perfect , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
Please note: This is an analysis and key takeaways of the book and not the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Shauna Niequist's Present over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "About the Author" section. About the book summarized here: Those familiar with Brene Brown's Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, or work on shame, vulnerability, empathy, and resilience, might wonder if Shauna Niequist read or listened to Brown's book and immediately sat down to write her own book, Present over Perfect. Then a more astute listener might go back and listen again to the foreword, from Brene Brown. Niequist calls Present over Perfect a love story about letting us be loved with all our imperfections. Self-help Christianity might be the best classification of this book: an honest, heartfelt sharing of one woman's realization that she can't have it all and the deliberate process of redefining her life. At 36, Shauna Niequist was a successful writer, speaking at colleges, retreats, and churches; she was also at her breaking point, stressed to the point of physical ailments. She had tried the external tricks of busy moms - better time management, having the cleaners come more often - but when reaching out for guidance, what spoke to her most was her mentor's suggestion that she remake her life from the inside out. Niequist chronicles her three-plus-year journey in a series of vignettes, many crafted while on vacations or retreats, that focus on what she had to leave behind to make her life more meaningful, connected, present, and deeply grounded in God's love. ungekürzt.

Never Go Home Again , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
The experience and quality that I bring to my writing can't be faked. I know what I know. Through my novels, I invite readers to journey with me into the streets. Come see what I've seen. Let me show the gritty and grimy undercarriage of society, the 'flip side' of the game. (Shannon Holmes) Inspired by the events of his own life, the Essence best-selling author of B-More Careful and Bad Girlz presents a vivid, unflinching novel about a young man's coming of age in the city streets. Never Go Home Again is the story of Corey Dixon, a young man whose father tries as best he can to steer him away from the lure of the streets. And yet, like so many others in his neighborhood, Corey finds the lucrative drug trade too tempting to resist. While he makes fast money for a while, ultimately Corey must pay the price for his choice of profession: his freedom. By the age of 16, Corey is sentenced to prison. Incarcerated at Riker's Island, Corey lives through experiences that threaten to destroy his body, his mind, and his spirit. Still, in the midst of his horrific imprisonment, he discovers inner strength and - against unimaginable odds - manages to survive. Corey makes a new kind of family for himself in jail, including a teacher who encourages him to "never go home again". In the course of his journey of self-discovery, Corey comes to realize the wisdom in his mentor's words. Unflinching and riveting, Never Go Home Again is a powerful, true-to-life story of redemption that no listener will soon forget. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicole Small.

The Adventures of Henry Thoreau: A Young Man's Unlikely Path to Walden Pond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
Henry David Thoreau has long been an intellectual icon and folk hero. In this strikingly original profile, Michael Sims reveals how the bookish, quirky young man, who kept quitting jobs, evolved into the patron saint of environmentalism and nonviolent activism. Working from 19th-century letters and diaries by Thoreau’s family, friends, and students, Sims charts Henry’s course from his time at Harvard through the years he spent living in a cabin beside Walden Pond. Sims uncovers a previously hidden Thoreau - the rowdy boy reminiscent of Tom Sawyer, the sarcastic college iconoclast, the devoted son who kept imitating his beloved older brother’s choices in life. Thoreau was deeply influenced by his parents - his father owned a pencil factory in Concord, his mother was an abolitionist and social activist - and by Ralph Waldo Emerson, his frequent mentor. Sims relates intimate, telling moments in Thoreau’s daily life: in Emerson’s library; teaching his neighbor and friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne, to row a boat; exploring the natural world and Native American culture; tutoring Emerson’s nephew on Staten Island and walking the streets of New York in the hope of launching a writing career. Returned from New York, Thoreau approached Emerson to ask if he could build a cabin on his mentor's land on the shores of Walden Pond, anticipating the isolation would galvanize his thoughts and actions. That it did. While at the cabin, he wrote his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, and refined the journal entries that formed the core of Walden. Resisting what he felt were unfair taxes, he spent the night in jail that led to his celebrated essay "Civil Disobedience", which would inspire the likes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Chronicling Thoreau’s youthful transformation, Sims reveals how this decade would resonate over the rest of his life, and thereafter throughout American literature and history. ungekürzt.
