Dropshipping is the solution for anyone who wants to earn a considerable amount of money with minimal investment. And the best part - you don’t even have to leave your house. This incredible business is simple enough: All you have to do is to play the intermediary between a customer and a product. You don’t even have to own a storage space or worry about inventory and stock. The simplicity of this module is what attracts thousands to try their luck. Some succeed, but many don’t. The difference between the two is that the first group obviously knew something the others did not.

Really wish he went into more depth. I felt much of the book was a tease or filler.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

The Stoic

This story speaks to the stoic in all of us. The underdog, facing insurmountable odds. Mark Watney represents man walking through hell with a smile. An inspiration. Combine this with a realistic reader and you get a 10/10 book.

What made the experience of listening to The Willpower Instinct the most enjoyable?
The reader is terrific and the content relevant.
What did you like best about this story?
The research basis of the book gave me a very objective point of view of how to deal with my willpower challenges. Sleep, exercise, stress, sugar, the company you keep etc. all play into your daily choices and habits. It's important to pay attention, stay in the moment and focus on what is truly important to you.
What about Walter Dixon’s performance did you like?
Great voice, pace.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me give up chocolate easily and now cutting back on time wasting activities like the internet.

Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly: to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives. In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on 12 years of research, her book argues that vulnerability is not weakness but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection.

Poor narration makes this a hard listen
Reviewed: 05-30-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Although the content was compelling, with all due respect to the author, his narration made it a hard listen.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dr. David R. Hawkins?
The woman who prefaced all the chapters in the book was way better than the narrator.
Was Power vs. Force worth the listening time?
No
Any additional comments?
The narration was so bad I bought a digital copy of the book and will be reading it on my kindle instead.
