About this listen
The jig is up. College is no longer the golden ticket to success, and students are starting to see through it. We are a generation that wants to make a life instead of just a living. We are choosing ourselves, dropping out, and living life on our own terms!
Sounds like a dumb idea? An escapist fantasy? Only to those too mentally enslaved by the system to think outside the box! In DropOut, Rueben L. Carter guides renegades and tapped out students in making a rational decision to leave college in order to chase their true passions in life. The audiobook explains how to say "Screw you!" to the naysayers, and finally be able to do what you want to do. You'll learn:
- How our culture and educational system destroy your well-being by design
- How to identify the distinct signs that indicate whether you should drop out
- How to deal with the consequences and reactions from your parents, friends, and society
- Tips on how to make life work after dropping out to pursue your passion
With several case examples to demonstrate the possibilities that abound, this bold and practical guide will give you the courage to be the person you're meant to be.
Break free. Pursue your passion. Change the world!

Story
Success in anything heavily relies on your confidence and self-esteem. Whether it’s getting the job or getting the girl/boy, whether it’s closing the deal or winning over the in-laws, your confidence is the thing that gets you through the door. So many of us struggle with low self-esteem and a timid spirit. We believe we’re not enough. We think we could never be brave “like him” or successful “like her”, so we slump our shoulders, slink off into the background, and throw pity parties for ourselves.

I used to get feelings of pure dread when Sunday night creeped up. By the time the Monday morning alarm clock went off, my heart would sink into my stomach. Every fiber in my body knew I couldn’t do that career for even one more day. Sound familiar? Yet somehow we find a way to keep going hour after hour. The only thing keeping me awake was stress induced adrenaline and pure hatred. I now wake up before my alarm clock goes off. I lay in my bed at night after work and can’t stop thinking about how much I love my career.

Story
Money. We love it. We hate it. If we don't have enough, we're struggling to get more. If we do have it, we're fighting to hold on to it. Why does money have to be such a source of anxiety? Is it possible to find peace? Yes! According to master integrative coach Nancy Levin, the real key to creating financial freedom isn't changing what we do, it's changing our limiting beliefs - and that requires more than just learning how to invest.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. 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."

Fresh perspective
I listened to this audiobook because of Angel Clark. I truthfully wasn't sure what to make of it.
It is well-written, and honestly I enjoyed listening to it.
I feel that it would be very helpful to anyone considering dropping out of virtually anything in life. And that goes for their (supportive) family and colleagues.
And kudos to Angel for making it a very enjoyable audiobook!
