Story
Studies show that nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women—women who are tired, fed up, exhausted, and unhappy. We’ve all seen how the media portrays divorcées: sad, lonely, drowning their sorrows in a bottle of wine. Lyz Lenz is one such woman whose life fell apart after she reached a breaking point in her twelve-year marriage. But she refused to take part in that tired narrative and decided to flip the script on divorce.

At 40 years old, I can say with certainty that nothing ruined my life more than relationships with men. I will never risk my peace and happiness again. There is more to life than what they sell us in cheesy romantic movies and books. Make the most of your best years, ladies. There are no refunds or do-overs.

Some decent insights, but I couldn’t help but feel like this is more of asking women to work around the toxic self-centeredness and egomania of the “good ol boys club” behavior. I will give it a second listen eventually and update this review.

Story
There are expectations of perfection you’ve been conditioned to believe in. You’ll never achieve this perfection, because you are perfectly human. Dr Rebecca Ray will help you understand that there is a workable alternative; somewhere between good and great, a ‘good enough’ that will support you in achieving your biggest dreams, healing the parts of you that hurt, and making the right choices for your best life. Letting go of perfectionism requires us to transform these patterns of unrelenting expectations into an inner voice of encouragement and accountability.

Short and encouraging

Pretty much the same stuff as in other books on overcoming perfectionism, low confidence, imposter syndrome, etc. But a good, short audiobook for someone just starting on self-exploration into these issues.

Story
We all want to live a life that matters. We all want to reach our full potential. But too often we find ourselves overwhelmed by the day-to-day. Our big goals get pushed to the back burner - and then, more often than not, they get forgotten. New York Times best-selling author Michael Hyatt wants listeners to know that it doesn't have to be this way. In fact, he thinks that this is the year listeners can finally close the gap between reality and their dreams.

Story
Trying to remember a bunch of details and tasks isn't the best use of your brainpower. By collecting all of your tasks in one place, you can reserve your mental energy for work that drives significant results, both in your professional life and your personal life. To start, productivity expert Maura Thomas takes us through an exercise called "brain dumping", which will clear your mind of all the things you're trying to remember you have to do - all the things that are distracting you or keeping you up at night.

Just peddling Yawehism
Reviewed: 08-24-23
This guy is just trying to justify his religious views. “God” is a word, not a name of a god. “The creator” is not the same as the deity called Yahweh that was invented only a few thousand years ago. If the author hasn’t figured this out yet, he has still has a lot to learn. Nothing insightful in this book.
