Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,890
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,791
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

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.

Although the historicity of Sun Tzu is today in dispute, his short treatise on the art of war has remained a pre-eminent classic of military philosophy and practice. In this small audiobook, the author describes in trenchant detail the approach and methods required for success in any combative endeavor. The principles he enunciates have been widely applied not only by leaders in the military but also in business, politics, sports, and education.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The multi-million copy best seller.
What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?
Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human.
Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it: us.
In this bold and provocative audiobook, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we’re going.
One of the Guardian's 100 best books of the 21st century.
Our species has only roamed the Earth for 200,000 years — but in that time, we’ve done more to change the face of the planet than any other creature in existence. In his provocative best-selling work Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari takes listeners on a journey through the history of mankind, from the Stone Age to today.
Over the course of this un-pausable audiobook, Harari examines how each generation of humanity left its mark on the planet - and how we’re still changing our world as each day passes.
Audie Award-winning English voice actor Derek Perkins skilfully navigates this thorough, research-driven work, setting the perfect tone for this riveting audiobook with his deep, intellectual delivery.
To put it simply in the words of one listener: 'Prepare to have your mind blown'.

Insightful and well-narrated
Such soothing narration. The narrator has done a fantastic job. Where to take a moment, where to speak, everything is so well calculated. I just finished the book and now I'm really disappointed that I can't listen to it all over again, like the first time. I don't get much time to read these days so I decided to try audiobooks while doing lab work. The contents of this book are amazing. The history seems very well researched and I'll make it a point to check if some of the information is correct or not. But the content was very well linked, with smooth transition from one topic to another. I did not know that Homo sapiens share such history and the hidden sarcasm by the author just steals the show at times. I feel like I have done myself a favor for listening to this audiobook.

Gross generalization, still good summary
Wish my history lessons were this easy to hear to. Who needs the details. A good summary of what we can learn from history is what everyone should get. this book is a good attempt. Nice free flowing thoughts. felt like I was being released from prejudice with each topic.
The summary on religion and how even though we say we are very different but at a very high level do the Same thing was a nice observation. A must read for every young mind before they form strong obsession with one religion and hate for others.
