Don't let the title fool you. This isn't a book about high fiving everyone else in your life. You're already doing that. Cheering for your favorite teams. Celebrating your friends. Supporting the people you love as they go after what they want in life. Imagine if you gave that same love and encouragement to yourself. Or even better, you made it a daily habit. You'd be unstoppable. In this book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.

A revolutionary system to get one per cent better every day. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Although pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. This book offers a completely new paradigm and understanding of where our human experience comes from, allowing us to end our own suffering and create how we want to feel at any moment. Don't Believe Everything You Think is not about rewiring your brain, rewriting your past, or positive thinking. We cannot solve our problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. Tactics are temporary. An expansion of consciousness is permanent.

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Disappointing

Editorial reviews
With a chorus of followers worldwide singing its praises, The Alchemist delivers soul-stirring wisdom to motivate anyone whose dreams are seemingly out of reach.
Described as an inspiring fable, The Alchemist is a metaphorical tale of author Paulo Coelho’s journey of self-discovery through following his heart. The enchanting audiobook follows Santiago, a humble young shepherd who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a mysterious buried treasure. The fictional story of a shepherd boy's bold journey into the unknown to find a fortune reveals itself as a reflection of the riches found within each of us.
Narrated by esteemed actor Jeremy Irons, every spoken word in this audiobook is unforgettable and ropes you along the journey. Clear, commanding and distinct, Irons’s gifted voice has lent itself broadly from Scar in Disney’s The Lion King (1994) movie to the English-language audio guide for Westminster Abbey in London.
Whilst the tale may be fiction, the lessons are real and readily applicable. The Alchemist is compass-like, offering guidance on finding your direction and purpose in life. As Santiago’s quest reveals, obstacles and fear are overcome when you acknowledge what your heart tells you and allow yourself to be drawn towards what you truly love. Download The Alchemist and prepare to become invested in the transformative power of your dreams.

"The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well, about becoming self-empowered, overcoming depression, and believing in dreams." (Publishers Weekly)
"It is short, but certainly packs a wallop. What makes the story even better is Jeremy Irons's unforgettable narration.... Irons's voice is crystal clear, and every word is given its own starring role in the text. He creates wondrous characters, male and female, that stay with us." (AudioFile)
It has a mystical, spiritual theme about it that i think is refreshing compared to other books in the self improvement genre.
Jeremy Irons was a good narrator, his coarse voice fit the book perfectly.
