Story
We’re all born with a certain “imprint” for work that makes us come alive. This is your "Sparketype®," your DNA-level driver of work that lets you know, deep down, you’re doing what you’re here to do. Work that motivates you, fills you with purpose and, fully-expressed in a healthy way, becomes a main-line to meaning, flow, performance, and joy. Put another way, work that “sparks” you.

They asked more than three thousand people if they felt they were living up to their full potential. Fifty percent of people reported that 50 percent of their full potential is untapped. That means half of us are walking around with half-lives. No wonder Twitter is so grumpy.

Journalist and screen/life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even immature and selfish. We claim to not have time for it, even as we find hours a day for what Price calls Fake Fun—bingeing on television, doomscrolling the news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside.

Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon.

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society.

Pragmatism believes that the mind is a tool. Your mind should work for you, not against you. People who don't master their mind, don't believe it's possible. They say: "I can't help but thinking these things." Well, you can take control of your mind with enough practice. I've done it. And in Think Straight, I share exactly how. It's a quick listen and you can use it to immediately to improve your thinking. You have the ability to decide what you think. Or, you can choose not to think. Think Straight reveals the recipe for taking control of your mind.

When children "push our buttons", we find ourselves reacting in ways that are far from our principles, often further inflaming a situation. When our children are at their worst, they need us to be at our best - or as close to it as we can be. Educator and family counselor Kim John Payne, author of Simplicity Parenting, offers techniques that simply and directly shift these damaging patterns in communication and parental behavior.

Story
We often treat the word capacity as if it were a natural law of limitation. Unfortunately most of us are much more comfortable defining what we perceive as off limits rather than what's really possible. Could it be that many of us have failed to expand our potential because we have allowed what we perceive as capacity to define us? What if our limits are not really our limits?

Whether it's the monster in the closet or the fear that arises from new social situations, school, or sports, anxiety can be especially challenging and maddening for children. And since anxiety has a mind of its own, logic and reassurance often fail, leaving parents increasingly frustrated about how to help. Now Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, the author of Playful Parenting, provides a special set of tools to handle childhood anxiety.

Story
Are you above average? Is your child an A student? Is your employee an introvert or an extrovert? Every day we are measured against the yardstick of averages, judged according to how close we come to it or how far we deviate from it. The assumption that metrics comparing us to an average—like GPAs, personality test results, and performance review ratings—reveal something meaningful about our potential is so ingrained in our consciousness that we don't even question it. That assumption, says Harvard's Todd Rose, is spectacularly—and scientifically—wrong.

Most of us are unable to develop our capacities for love on the only level that really counts — a love that is compounded of maturity, self-knowledge, and courage. Learning to love, like other arts, demands practice and concentration. Even more than any other art, it demands genuine insight and understanding.

Insights—like Darwin's understanding of the way evolution actually works, and Watson and Crick's breakthrough discoveries about the structure of DNA-can change the world. We also need insights into the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us so that we can more effectively solve problems and get things done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formed—or what blocks them. In Seeing What Others Don't, renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein unravels the mystery.

couldn't get through
It sounds like the reader has marbles in his mouth. I didn't even make it out of the first chapter. It might be a great book, but it is not a great audiobook.

Very OTT sales pitch to get people to site
I thought some of the info was somewhat useful but knew most of it from general research and I thought the delivery/content was cheesy and aimed at vulnerable people who aren't that clued in

Very worthwhile Audible Daily Deal!
Due to my stage in life (74.5 years old, married almost 49 years, father of three and grandfather of six, retired from a very rewarding career) How to Live a Good Life applies less to me than to those half my age. As one who participated in several similar programs during my business career and constantly worked to maintain a healthy balance between my career, my family (especially my responsibilities as a husband and father), and other relationships, it seems to me that Jonathan Fields' "buckets" concept is superior to other methods that I used. My impression is that it would prove valuable to almost anyone who tried it. The basic goals are to understand oneself thoroughly and to gradually change aspects that are causing your life to be less than you hope for.
I recommend this book!

Too Pushy
The narrator makes mouth sounds when he talks and I found it very distracting. There were a few ideas I really liked, but overall I didnt enjoy the way the online "community" was pushed.

This was pretty good, overall.
It had a lot of things I’ve heard before, but sometimes they were said in a different way, which can help clarify. There were a few things I didn’t like, but overall pretty good.

honest, great help, highly usable
Some of these ideas I've heard before, some are new. It's how it breaks down that is crucial. I love the idea of the three buckets and then being able to pick any of the 30 ideas, action steps, depending on where you are most lacking in any order. it's meant to be used, not just read though its a highly enjoyable read/listen. highly recommend. If just a few of these things are implemented, life will change for the better. All implemented? Sky is the limit. Not another "rah rah find and go for your massive passion or goal" book, which for me was a good thing, I have plenty of those
