The Yummy Mummy

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:44:00 +0000

Six months after the birth of her daughter, Evie, thirty something Amy Crane finds her life is no longer her own. She's traded a high-pressure job in PR for something far more difficult - new motherhood. Even though she adores everything about her daughter - from her tiny blond head to that ambrosial baby smell - Amy doesn't exactly adore herself. Feeling invisible, overweight, and about as attractive as a barnyard animal, she can't relate to the smug women in her new mothers group who seem to embrace the lifestyle of nappies and organic baby food. Even worse, she suspects that Evie's father, Joe - the man she's living with but not married to is having an affair.

Then Amy meets Alice, who seems to have this mommy thing down: She's single-girl slender, for one thing, with groomed eyebrows, a smooth forehead, and killer clothes. Plus, she has a sex life. In short, she's a Yummy Mummy, one of a new breed of Pilates-practicing, Blahniks-wearing, salon-coiffed moms who manage to make motherhood look positively sexy. Under Alice's tutelage, Amy attempts to rebuild her body, wardrobe, and self-esteem, and discovers that she's got some yumminess of her own; but a new look may not be the answer to her problems as her relationship with Joe starts to unravel.

Bastard on the Couch/Bitch in the House

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:14:00 +0000

Bitch in the House - Despite more power and choices than ever before, women are still angry -- that's not necessarily a bad thing, as anger is what continues to open the door for change. In this collection, 15 women speak boldly and passionately about choices they've made -- about sex, children, love and work -- and explore what's working and what is not. Their essays -- always provocative, honest, witty and wise -- are the culmination of the lessons of the past two decades, the ‘me' years and the therapy years, the years that have taught women to express themselves and acknowledge their needs. As celebratory as they are critical, these brilliant essays reflect the truth about life.

Audio contains the following essays, written and read by the contributors:

Introduction -- Cathi Hanauer
Getting the Milk for Free -- Veronica Chambers
Crossing to Safety -- Jen Marshall
Moving In. Moving Out. Moving On. -- Sarah Miller
Papa Don't Preach -- Kerry Herlihy
I Do. Not.: Why I Won't Marry -- Catherine Newman
Killing the Puritan Within -- Kate Christensen
My Mother's Ring: Caught Between Two Families -- Helen Schulman
Attila the Honey I'm Home -- Kristin van Ogtrop
The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to Be. How It Was. -- Hope Edelman
Daddy Dearest: What Happens When He Does More Than His Half? -- Laurie Abraham
Crossing the Line in the Sand: How Mad Can Mother Get? -- Elissa Schappell
Married at 46: The Agony and the Ecstacy -- Nancy Wartik
The Fat Lady Sings -- Natalie Kusz
What Independence Has Come to Mean to Me: The Pain of Solitude.The Pleasure of Self-Knowledge. -- Vivian Gornick

The Bastard on the Couch - Turns out that The Bitch In the House was only half the story. Daniel Jones, husband of Cathi Hanauer, has rallied the men for the "literary equivalent of The Full Monty," in which a group of thoughtful, passionate and often hilarious men lay it bare when it comes to their wives and girlfriends, their hopes and fears. Many of these husbands and fathers contemplate aspects of their personal lives they've never before revealed -- kicking open the door on their marriages and sex lives, their fathering and domestic conflicts, their most intimate relationships and situations.

Powerful, heartfelt and irreverent, this is a bold, unprecedented glimpse into the glaring truths of modern relationships.

Audio contains the following essays, written and read by the contributors:

Preface -- Cathi Hanauer
Introduction -- Daniel Jones
A Bachelor’s Fear -- Steve Friedman
I Am Man, Hear Me Bleat -- Fred Leebron

How To Become A Writer

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:02:00 +0000

Start Your Lucrative Writing Career Today! You CAN Make Money As A Writer!

Would you like to be your own boss? Would you like to write your own paychecks? Would you enjoy a flexible work schedule and the kind of freedom you'll never find in the "nine to five" workplace?

That's what everyone wants, right? We all long for an opportunity to make good money while maintaining personal autonomy. We want to run the show and to cash the big checks.

That might be what we'd all like to experience, but most of us don't. People struggle every day to make ends meet. People make the soul-crushing morning commute day after day just to punch someone else's clock. The daily grind goes on for years until its time to retire with a gold-plated watch and a long list of regrets. We get stuck. We don't take advantage of opportunities. We waste our skills and spend years doing things we don't enjoy.

There are a few reasons.

First, many of us wrongly believe that there's no credible alternative. They think the traditional workforce is the only way to "make it".

Second, some folks are afraid of branching out on their own because of the oft-reported high risk of failure for new businesses. They don't feel safe as entrepreneurs.

Third, some of us never get around to making a move for a better life. We plan on making changes, but time passes us by as we stay in our regular ruts.

I want to tell you about a way to GET OUT NOW. I know how you can open your own business within a few days and put yourself on the track to some serious earnings with very little risk and next to no cash outlay. The most beautiful thing about this approach is that it's probably already your dream job.

How to become a Writer shows you how to go from barely getting with the status quo to becoming a well-paid, self-employed wordsmith.

Enjoy Your Holiday Time with Audiobooks

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 04:56:00 +0000

Why not use some of your holiday vacation time wisely and enjoy it with audio books?

Since I have become passionate about the enjoyment of audio books I look forward to relaxation and easy listening.

I was an avid book reader prior to being introduced to enjoying audio books. As I am not a fast reader I am particularly enjoying being able to read my books in a shorter timeframe.

Reading and enjoying audio books is not too different to listening to music. I enjoy the animated voices telling the story. I feel that I am there not just reading about it.

Audio Books are very addictive, especially during holiday time when I have time to chill out, relax, enjoy a wine and the excitement of someone reading to me.

Besides the above I have found there are many benefits to enjoying audio books.

Physical books are usually more expensive than audio books.

When purchasing a downloadable audio book it is available immediately.

I can enjoy my downloadable audio book on my mp3 player or iPod. I sometimes write them to a CD. It is a matter of personal choice.

I am able to have great fun with my grandchildren. Just watching them as they listen to audio books gives me great pleasure. They really get involved in the story and so do I. The books almost come to life as they are read.

I always carry some audio books on CD in my car for when I am travelling either alone or have my grandchildren with me.

Because I can listen to an audio book anywhere at anytime I am able to read more books. This I really enjoy as I lead a very busy lifestyle.

The Christmas Stories by: Charles Dickens

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 04:53:00 +0000

Robert Whitfields narration allows listeners to recognize how much Dickens wrote for the ear. Whitfield reads these stories like he is telling them beside a winter fire.AudioFile

No writer is more identified with the modern idea of Christmas than Charles Dickens. In some ways, Dickens helped define the holiday that we now celebrate by immortalizing it as a time of warmth and sharing with an emphasis on family and friends. Dickens wrote all the stories presented here during the 1850s as contributions to the special Christmas issues of Household Words, the weekly magazine he founded and edited. Included are fictional sketches verging on the autobiographical, recollections of childhood, reflections on past holidays and old friends, as well as tales of misunderstandings and lost opportunities. They reaffirm the virtue of nurturing our traditions and offer a master storytellers vision of the real meaning of Christmas.

Charles Dickens (1812 –1870) was born in Landport, Portsea, England, the second of eight children in a family continually plagued by debt. A legacy brought release from the nightmare of debtors' prison and child labor and afforded him two years of formal schooling. He worked as an attorney's clerk and newspaper reporter until his early writings brought him the amazing success that was to be his for the remainder of his life.

Earphones Awards recipient Robert Whitfield was born in England and worked for the BBC for ten years as a radio news announcer and also worked as a narrator for the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London. In addition to narrating for Blackstone Audiobooks, he involves himself in numerous stage-acting projects in the United States and Europe.

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side of Everything

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 04:50:00 +0000

Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime?

These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life -- from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing -- and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head.

Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics.

Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives -- how people get what they want or need especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.

What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Steven Levitt, through devilishly clever and clear-eyed thinking, shows how to see through all the clutter.

Emotional Intelligence : Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 05:16:00 +0000

This is an audio book summary of Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman.

Goleman argues that our emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. He defines "emotional intelligence" as a set of skills, including control of one's impulses, self-motivation, empathy and social competence in interpersonal relationships. Although his highly accessible survey of research into cognitive and emotional development may not convince readers that this grab bag of faculties comprise a clearly recognizable, well-defined aptitude, his report is nevertheless an intriguing and practical guide to emotional mastery. In marriage, emotional intelligence means listening well and being able to calm down. In the workplace, it manifests when bosses give subordinates constructive feedback regarding their performance. Goleman also looks at pilot programs in schools from New York City to Oakland, Calif., where kids are taught conflict resolution, impulse control and social skills.

Permission Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 23:08:00 +0000

The man Business Week calls "the ultimate entrepreneur tor the information age" explains "Permission Marketing" — the groundbreaking concept that enables marketers to shape their message so that consumers will willingly accept it.

Instead of annoying potential customers by interrupting their most coveted commodity—time—Permission Marketing offers consumers incentives to accept advertising voluntarily.

• Does every single marketing effort you create encourage a learning relationship with your customers? Does it invite customers to "raise their hands" and start communicating?

• Do you have a permission database? Do you track the number of people who have given you permission to communicate with them?

• If consumers gave you permission to talk to them, would you have anything to say? Have you developed a marketing curriculum to teach people about your products?

• Once people become customers, do you work to deepen your permission to communicate with those people?

In Permission Marketing, Godin demonstrates how marketers are already profiting from this key new approach in ail forms of media.

Bill Rancic's -You're Hired

noreply@blogger.com (Audio) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 23:59:00 +0000

Success means something different for everyone. For Bill Rancic, it meant taking the things he loved - like coming up with exciting ideas and never working a 9-to-5 job - and translating that into a profitable business. By the time he was thirty, he'd achieved every goal he set for himself by creating an online cigar company from scratch and then using those profits to begin a venture in real estate.

Then an opportunity came by he just couldn't pass up-a competition to test his own personal drive and street smarts against a talented pool of professional salesmen, marketers, and MBAs, where the prize was working side by side with the master of the deal himself, Donald Trump.

Being on The Apprentice made Bill Rancic an overnight celebrity. But his winning strategies were developed long before that, and in You're Hired, he uses examples from his own life to prove that the secrets of success can be found within us all.
