I personally relate to the author since I am also a nurse! I appreciated her brief description of neurobiology using vocabulary that is very accessible for those without such training. This book is for people who have always wanted to meditate but don't know how. Included is a step-by-step guide to meditation with many tips.

I have been practicing meditation for decades, and I love its positive effects on my brain and emotions.

Quitting Sugar is hard —but we can do hard things!

Reviewed: 02-28-24 Listener received this title free

Quitting sugar is hard—but we can do hard things especially armed with this guided 21-day challenge to discover how to detox from sugar, reset our tastebuds, and enjoy healthy, sugar-free living.

This book may heal sugar addiction using the SWEET Method of escape. I have been practicing daily mindfulness for a few years and I especially appreciated the author’s emphasis on good mindfulness tools for handling food and sugar cravings.
I am firmly convinced that sugar and its terrible effects need to be eliminated. The way people use sugar today is far from natural. In our culture, sugar reappears, and people act as though they are mindlessly brainwashed into including it at every meal. The author gives us the path to regain our right minds, become mindful, and emotionally aware to identify triggers and beat the addiction.

I enjoyed listening to a well-written audio-script. This book is orderly, easy-to-understand book with current research and fantastic advice!

I'm used to working remotely and in hybrid environments, so it was relevant to my profession. Not a comprehensive course, but an EXCELLENT game plan! Kudos to the author!

I learned a lot!

If you are like me, and beginning to think about renting property, you will learn a ton about how to acquire investment property, get it at wholesale pricing, and what methods to get financing are available.

Then once you acquire property, the author reviews management techniques, including strategies for attracting and maintaining renters. When tenants move out, this guide provides ways to marketing and advetising.

If you would rather DIY instead of hiring a team, recommendations for software to use are given.

The author warns you of mistakes and recommends using experts to help protect your assets.

This is not a get rich quick scheme, but this manual will be s agood place for you to research and gather the information you need to begin a lucrative business.

Specifically related to New Jersey

Reviewed: 02-12-24 Listener received this title free

Mahoney encourages his listeners/readers to educate themselves further and feel proficient because there are risks. He warns us to avoid the "weasels" that exist in any business. This is a brand new topic for me, and because I tend to be conservative with my risk tolerance, I will be researching and talking about it for a while--

But after listening to Mahoney's very informative book, I feel both EXCITED and CONFIDENT that this is a wonderful and VALID opportunity if you are careful to do your due diligence.

For me, looking to get started in the complex world of real estate investing, I'm amazed by how much information the author offers, which makes it a priceless tool for a novice like me and, I imagine, experienced investors alike.

The focus on New Jersey guarantees that readers will get focused and useful guidance for their investing journey.

Improve the way you engage with others.

This book has something for everyone who wants to improve their communication skills. Anyone interested in improving their interpersonal skills will benefit from reading this work. 

How one's mindset affects one's ability to speak with others, in both group and one-on-one, is discussed. But the author does not stop by merely offering you theoretical insight. Instead, John S. Cohen gives you specific vocabulary and skills to transform your interactions with others.

Take advantage of the free PDF attached!

Reviewed: 02-18-23 Listener received this title free

I wish I were a teenager again and had learned all these techniques earlier. Even though my anxiety never became so severe that it prevented me from following through with many things I needed or wanted to do, it would have saved me a lot of internal stress and drama during junior and senior high school! One event came close, as I recall, just before I appeared in front of the congregation to give a sermon on Youth Sunday! My dad and the pastor had to come and give me some emergency pep talks while I was in tears and freaking out!

You MUST take advantage of the free PDF attached to this audiobook to ensure you get all the benefits! Of course, listening along is terrific, especially to refresh your memory and listen repeatedly. But the "workbook" pages in the PDF are colorful, with black line clip art, chart form with spaces to write, and a tremendous visual aid to organize your thinking. I loved it!

Become aware and make a plan!

Reviewed: 02-18-23 Listener received this title free

Most of us only partially know how we botch up our best intentions. That can be discouraging enough. This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg because our subconscious mind entangles the reasons and root causes for us sabotaging our plans beneath the surface.

Hammond writes brilliantly and plainly to help uncover your subconscious, emotion-rooted beliefs, and behaviors. Then, after she does that, she holds your hand, takes you back to the drawing board, and helps you devise a plan to make small changes that will add up to a significant difference for the better over time.

Hold on! Wait a minute!

Hold on! Wait a minute! I have heard of Air BnB, but always from the consumer's perspective.

Listening to this was the first time I heard of "arbitrage" before listening to this book. Does this mean that people like me, who don't have any properties to sell, could passively earn income by starting an Air BnB?

Yes, it does! And we are lucky to have such a successful person to be generous enough to walk us through the process, explain how to avoid pitfalls, and be successful ourselves.

I picked up this audiobook out of curiosity. Still, because Kay Carroll is such a convincing and unpretentious writer, this "empty nester" is thinking twice about turning my extra bedrooms into a cash cow.
