Un libro empoderador y motivador

Reviewed: 12-16-24 Listener received this title free

Como mujer líder, me siento empoderada con este libro. Durante demasiado tiempo me he mantenido al margen y he permitido que mi homólogo masculino tomara la iniciativa, sabiendo perfectamente que mis decisiones son tan buenas como las de ellos. Aprecio las muchas estrategias presentadas en el libro, estrategias que harán avanzar la causa de las mujeres en el lugar de trabajo.

Me gusta especialmente la sección sobre la asunción de riesgos en el capítulo 4. Explica claramente el miedo al fracaso que a menudo nos impide progresar, y en un tono alentador y sin prejuicios pone fin a estos miedos.

Este es un texto informativo e inspirador que todas las mujeres encontrarán impactante y reconfortante.

So warm, so real!

Reviewed: 11-26-24 Listener received this title free

This is a powerful resource – guidance and inspiration for dementia caregivers. It is packed with real life experiences of people on the frontline of dementia care. It is rare that you find such a book with raw emotions, humour, hope, positivity and ultimately – truth.

The book will give those starting out in dementia caregiving an insight into the role. As a caregiver myself (though not for someone with dementia) I was able to resonate with some of the stories shared in the book. I listened to every single story, touched by every word. Though a serious topic, I enjoyed the humour displayed in some accounts. I particularly loved the toothbrush story of Silos who cares for his wife Ellen, a story told by their son Tom. It was lovely to hear from someone who is an observer, in addition to those caring for their loved ones.

Touches deeply

Reviewed: 11-12-24 Listener received this title free

As someone who has suffered multiple miscarriages, I identified deeply with this audiobook. Though my miscarriages happened over 20 years ago, this book brought back memories but, in a way, helped me find peace. It reminded me of how I felt when it first happened. It is for that reason why I have found most impactful the affirmations and the particular statement “It’s okay to be angry with God”. I feel that finally I have been given permission to feel what I felt. Thank you.

A Targeted Approach to AI in Education

Reviewed: 10-21-24

This book is effectively structured to benefit the education sector. In this AI age a book such as this is ideal for educators to learn about how to integrate AI tools in the classroom. The real-life examples are especially useful in aiding understanding.

I am intrigued by the idea of virtual science labs. The book explains how students could conduct experiments in a wholly digital environment, ensuring safety while simulating scenarios that might be too dangerous or impractical in a traditional lab setting. Amazing!

A Comprehensive Manual for Growing Teens

Reviewed: 10-16-24 Listener received this title free

As the mother of a teen girl, I was keen to grab a book that would help me improve my parenting skills. This book is for teens but I find it to be a useful resource for us parents – a checklist for great parenting.

I especially love the chapter that discusses how to master skills for inside the home. The life hacks are useful to everyone – unclog your sinks, fix the toilet seat, stop squeaking – key information for a happy and healthy home. Very useful indeed!

Reassuring and Empowering

Reviewed: 10-16-24 Listener received this title free

Before taking up this book I didn’t comprehend the dynamics of narcissism. Listening to this audiobook is an eye-opening experience for me. Not only that, I feel equipped with the knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon and now can smell it from afar. I can’t say I have been a victim of abuse but I wanted to listen it in order to help a friend who is emerging from a toxic relationship with a narcissist.

I especially value the contents of Chapter 6 which discusses how to heal from within. I feel that this information will improve the lives of those who lost their self esteem due to gaslighting and other behaviours and tactics employed by narcissists.

A manual for self-discovery and contentment

Reviewed: 10-08-24 Listener received this title free

This book is uniquely empowering for women irrespective of where they live or their social status. It is refreshing and the positive energy it emits is contagious. The attached pdf is so useful and beautifully designed, such a welcome gift!

I particularly enjoyed the chapter that explored the archetypes of the divine feminine. It is the first time I have truly understood these concepts though I have known about them for some time. The book is comforting and encouraging and the narrator’s tone is a perfect complement for the audiobook.

A Treat of Nature

Reviewed: 10-08-24 Listener received this title free

As a nature lover, I am at home with this audiobook. My family enjoys nature walks so it was such a joy to grab hold of the book and listen to it with them.

I especially enjoyed the chapter that covered understanding wildlife because my children love animals. It was wonderful for them to learn how to stay safe around these animals and admire them without putting themselves at risk. I feel more confident to take my neurodiverse child into the wild, now that I have this higher level of understanding.

This really is a special audiobook

Reviewed: 10-04-24 Listener received this title free

As we all know, ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. I have read several books on the subject but this audiobook appealed to me because of the title and description, especially the 7-day mastery promise. It delivered on every level and though Spanish is not my mother tongue I was able to follow and implement the strategies as promised. I was particularly impressed by the contents of chapter 4 which demonstrated how ChatGPT can enhance my daily life - recipes, event planning, time management, budgeting, study plans – the sky’s the limit!

The supplementary guide offered with the book is a game-changer – an invaluable resource for readers.

An Invaluable Resource for Teenagers

Reviewed: 10-04-24 Listener received this title free

I like the conversational nature of this audiobook. It feels like a learned companion for teenagers preparing to embark on adulthood equipped to make sound financial decisions.

As a business studies graduate the author was able to bring both theory and practice to the material, breaking down financial concepts that might seem complicated to teens and presents them in a simple, step-by-step manner. This is invaluable information that isn’t always taught in schools – advice that is both relatable and actionable.

The list of activities to complete is a wonderful way to check understanding and consolidate learning.This audiobook would make a wonderful gift for a teen.
