About this listen
Are you feeling more like a “firefighter” than a leader? That is, you feel like you have to put out the “flames” of bad business decisions made by others. Do you often feel that you don’t have control over your time or future? Perhaps you need to learn how to work and live with more harmony utilizing the thoughts and techniques of ancient samurai warriors.
Many times we just don’t know how to get started to find the harmony we want. What I have discovered is, you can learn how to integrate the Bushidō and Continuous Improvement principles to do exactly that. We all have the capability to shape the direction we want our lives to take, and the people who we want to serve in our professional pursuits.
The big question that you need to answer for yourself is:
Am I living to work, or am I working to be able to truly live?
Take the principles in this book, make changes to the way that you approach life, and be able to say yes to the latter part of that question. After listening to this audiobook, you’ll be better able to connect with yourself, and discover parts of who you are that you didn't even know existed.

It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace. From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only five percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

Story
The question "What do I want to do with my life?" is more difficult to answer for today's 20-somethings than it was for their parents - not only do today's jobs look different, but career paths are altogether less of a sure thing. It's in this modern context that Lodro Rinzler provides Generation Y with wisdom for approaching the whole issue of livelihood - not only how to find work, but how to bring compassion and meaning into the job once you’ve got it. It’s wisdom from the Buddhist tradition that works for anyone.

The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Practical and Refreshing Take on Leadership
This audiobook had me rethinking how I handle work and life balance. It’s not full of fluff or unrealistic advice—it’s more about simple shifts in perspective that actually make sense. I liked how it tied in timeless ideas without feeling over-the-top or preachy. Honestly, it gave me a few solid ideas I could start using right away, and that’s rare for me with these types of books. If you’ve been feeling a bit stuck or burnt out, this one’s worth a listen.

A New Perspective
This audiobook really spoke to me. I’ve been feeling stuck, constantly reacting to problems instead of making real progress, and it helped me see things differently. The ideas and strategies were simple to understand and gave me practical steps to bring more balance into my life. It wasn’t just about work—it made me think about how I approach everything. I feel more focused and ready to make changes that will help me live and work in a way that feels right for me.
