Finally an audiobook that thoroughly explains Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in a compassionate style. This audiobook is easy to listen to and relatable. You can tell the author took the time to write this book in a tone that is kind, caring, and encouraging. If you are wondering if you have Borderline Personality Disorder, or if you have already been diagnosed, please take the time to listen to this audiobook. It will make sense of the feelings you have that others don’t understand, and it will help you know that you are not alone.

Must have for Christmas!

Reviewed: 11-22-22 Listener received this title free

This is an absolutely delightful audiobook. I highly recommend getting the print or eBook too so your child can read along and see the impressive illustrations while listening to the enchanting audiobook. The narrator has a charming voice like Julie Andrews and each character in the book (the kids, the parents and even Santa) has their own narrator. I loved hearing the kid’s laughter. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed listening to an audiobook as much as I have with this one. The author even includes some “Connection Questions” at the end to facilitate conversation with your kids. This is a professionally produced audiobook – a must have for your family and an excellent gift any child you know.

There is help for parents of a child with ADHD

Reviewed: 11-05-22 Listener received this title free

If you have just started the journey of parenting a child with ADHD, then you will find this audiobook very useful. It provides a thorough overview of ADHD that is easy to understand while still being very informative. The author is a mother of two children with ADHD, so she is very reassuring and supportive to parents struggling to know if they are doing the right thing and she offers guidance on how to best care for your child while not neglecting self-care. This is the type of guide you’ll want to keep on hand and refer back to as needed.

Listen now to find the motivation to exercise

Reviewed: 10-22-22 Listener received this title free

I am a firm believer that exercise improves your mental health. I know so many people who couldn’t go to the gym during COVID lockdown. They were people that went on a regular basis, and they looked forward to it as part of their daily routine. When the gyms closed, I noticed how they had more anxiety and were struggling with depression. Some didn’t even realize what a key component that exercise played in their mood until the gyms closed. This author does a great job explaining why exercising consistently has mental health benefits. I like that he's not endorsing a specific set of exercises, but rather the importance of creating a routine that works for you and doing it on a regular basis. After listening to this audiobook, you will have the tools to build your own workout plan, set attainable goals, and ability to track your progress.

Learn to live life without too much strain

Reviewed: 10-01-22 Listener received this title free

If you would like to better understand the differences between DBT, ACT, and CBT, the author does a good job of explaining each one so you can make an informed decision on which therapy is best for you. I would have liked the author to provide a PDF with the worksheets provided in the book. The exercises seemed very useful, but kind of hard to do them with an audiobook. However, the author did include a bonus chapter filled with hours of wonderful guided mindfulness meditations that are great to listen to with the audiobook.

Highly recommend this audiobook!

I have been looking for a book for awhile that could help me start learning about permaculture. I found this audiobook and it's just what I have been looking for. I tried other permaculture books, but they were too long, dry, and overcomplicated to the point of almost scaring me away from trying permaculture altogether. The Practical Permaculture Project is a well-written, easy-to-read book with tons of helpful, practical information. It's an excellent overview of all areas and methods that I can implement immediately in my garden. I also love the positive tone and the narrator's voice - it made for a nice listening experience. It's definitely a must-have for anyone who is looking for a practical overview and those who enjoy connecting to nature through gardening.

There are so many things I liked about this audiobook.  First, it’s a great gift for a loved one or friend who has just lost someone they love.  However, be sure to read it first because there is valuable information so you can be more supportive to them as they are grieving.  The information is easy to understand and since the authors share their real-life experiences, you can tell their message comes from a place of understanding.  They do a great job of normalizing and validating what you are going through while also reminding you that the grieving process is an individual one that has no one right or wrong way to do it.  My favorite messages from the authors are that death ends a life and not a relationship and that the loss of someone you love is not something you get over.

Great beginner's guide if you have limited space

Reviewed: 09-13-22

I was drawn to this audiobook because I live in an urban area and don’t have much space to work with. I like that the author shares methods for compact mini-gardening which allows me to grow what I want without sacrificing the freshness of a larger garden. I appreciated the section on the different watering methods. I would like to eventually set up the drip system, but probably will start with hand watering for now. I will definitely take advantage of the organic fertilizing tips provided to give my plants the best chance of growing. There is lots of useful information packed into this audiobook. It’s a great listen for beginners who have limited space and want to start their garden right away.

A must-have reference guide

Reviewed: 09-06-22 Listener received this title free

This is a great gift for a new parent or grandparent that wants to positively influence a child’s love of reading. It will be a book they refer to at each stage of development to find actionable strategies and techniques that are age appropriate. It has tons of useful information that is laid out in an easy-to-understand manner. I love that the author is focused on creating and growing a child’s passion for reading by providing lots of fun ideas and games to get a kid engaged in reading.
