Whispersync: Audible (free) | Kindle (free)

In the desolate, frozen northwest of Canada, a lone wolf fights a heroic daily fight for life in the wild. But after he is captured and cruelly abused by men, he becomes a force of pure rage. Only one man sees inside the killer to his intelligence and nobility. But can his kindness touch White Fang?

[Red Falcon]

Happy New Year, Humans and Tubemonkeys.

New years are overrated. All that one means is that the earth has gone all the way around the sun one more time. Big deal.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

A colonel receives five seeds in the mail—and dies within weeks. A young bride disappears immediately after her wedding. An old hat and a Christmas goose are the only clues to a stolen jewel.

No case is too tricky for the world's most famous sleuth and his incredible powers of deduction.

This gripping collection includes many of the famous cases—and great strokes of brilliance—that make the legendary detective one of fiction's most popular creations. Included in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Red-Headed League," "A Case of Identity," "The Boscombe Valley Mystery," "The Five Orange Pips," "The Man with the Twisted Lip," "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb," "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor," "The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet," and "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches."

Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want

Each of us has but one life to live on this earth. What we do with it is our choice. Are we drifting through it as spectators, reacting to our circumstances when necessary and wondering just how we got to this point anyway? Or are we directing it, maximizing the joy and potential of every day, living with a purpose or mission in mind?

Too many of us are doing the former--and our lives are slipping away one day at a time. But what if we treated life like the gift that it is? What if we lived each day as though it were part of a bigger picture, aplan? That's what New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt and executive coach Daniel Harkavy show us how to do: to design a life with the end in mind, determining in advance the outcomes we desire and path to get there. In this step-by-step guide, they share proven principles that help readers create a simple but effective life plan so that they can get from where they are now to where they really want to be--in every area of life.

I'm at a loss to explain the prevalence of self-development books. When I go through a more-or-less random list of books, it seems that there is about one such book for every ten books! That is probably an overstatement, but I doubt that it is by much.

Have titles that have been previously published on the subject not accomplished the goal of a person getting his or her ducks in a row, so an author feels that he/she must create one that does? Have people with self-developmental needs read one or more of the previous books, but they've gotten no help from them because they haven't put into practice what the previous books said to do? So they decide that the problem is that the previous books were just no good, and so they buy another one that looks promising?

I know, this isn't the thread to get into a discussion about it; I guess that I'm just wondering out loud. But, it's more than that--these self-development titles genuinely get in the way when I'm browsing through the non-fiction markdown lists, whether it be of ebooks or audiobooks. There are too blooming many of them!

FREE -- Acres of Diamonds -- Russell Conwell/ Jon Reiss --> 1.3 hrs --> self-development

LearnOutLoud.com Review

Download Russell H. Conwell's Acres of Diamonds. Originating from a speech that Conwell delivered thousands of times throughout the United States, this book provides wisdom on finding opportunity and fortune within one's own community. Russell Conwell was a Baptist minister and an outstanding orator, and his words are well-narrated here by Jon Reiss. Listen to this classic work on how to find wealth and prosperity no matter where you are.

Description

Acres of Diamonds by Russell Conwell is renowned as a classic work on how to be great regardless of your station in life. This book originated as a speech that the minister Conwell delivered over 6,000 times around the world. Here the author argues that men and women need not look elsewhere for wealth and prosperity; success can be found in his or her own community.

Conwell is the Founder of Temple University in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, an institution that was established largely upon income derived from the original Acres of Diamonds speech. We hope you enjoy this lively and inspirational exploration of the riches that exist right in front of us all.
