Story
It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind.

This is a beautiful book but...
Reviewed: 03-05-18
...there are long segments with an awful feedback sound in the background. I’m not sure if it’s the narrator’s nasal cavity or if someone is cleaning a window with windex next to the microphone, or someone adjusting a chair, or vigorously rubbing the microphone but it’s just terrible. It faded in and out and really disrupts the flow of the book. It should be re-recorded.
As for the book itself, when not being interrupted with ambient piggy sounds, it resonates with truth and strikes a deep cord within. I learned a lot and was able to incorporate teachings within a day. Very powerful. 5 star book, 1 star recording.

Story
Eclipsing the traditional sports memoir, House of Nails, by former world champion, multimillionaire entrepreneur, and imprisoned felon Lenny Dykstra, spins a tragicomic tale of Shakespearean proportions - a relentlessly entertaining American epic that careens between the heights and the abyss. Nicknamed "Nails" for his hustle and grit, Lenny approached the game of baseball - and life - with mythic intensity.

Stern interview was better
Reviewed: 07-18-16
I loved the Dodgers growing up but knew about dykstra and liked him. I remember his car wash too. Heard the interview on Howard then bought the book next day. Even my wife loved the interview and is not into sports. The book leaves a lot to the imagination. I really enjoyed the parts about coming up as a young baseball player and his stories as a pro but then it tailed off. I wanted to hear more about what he did that was illegal and why he went to prison but it really dances around the topic even though a lot of time is spent on it. There's a lot of "moreovers" and "in addition" transitions all over the place like the editor was just trying to make sense out of a free flowing blob of material (dykstra said he wrote it). I love nails and think he's an interesting guy but this book didn't nail it for me. Sorry bro.

Story
Widely respected as a civil libertarian, legal educator, and defense attorney extraordinaire, Alan M. Dershowitz has also been a passionate though not uncritical supporter of Israel. In this audiobook, he presents an ardent defense of Israel's rights, supported by indisputable evidence. Dershowitz takes a close look at what Israel's accusers and detractors are saying about this war-torn country. He accuses those who attack Israel of international bigotry and backs up his argument with hard facts.

Very good and important book
Reviewed: 04-18-16
However the authors premise doesn't support his conclusion. If the facts presented are true, then there will never be a 2 state solution. Don't get me wrong, It's a great idea, but the PLO doesn't even want the Palestinian "refugees" as its citizens in an independent state. That should tell you everything you need to know about having a "partner for peace".

Story
At the end of The Last Kingdom, The Danes had been defeated at Cynuit, but the triumph of the English is not fated to last long. The Danish Vikings quickly invade and occupy three of England's four kingdoms - and all that remains of the once proud country is a small piece of marshland, where Alfred and his family live with a few soldiers and retainers, including Uhtred, the dispossessed English nobleman who was raised by Danes.
