    • What to listen to when you or someone you love is expecting
    • When you’re pregnant for the first time, you can feel a little alone—despite having the constant company of a fellow traveler. Since it’s such a "natural" part of the human experience, it feels like you should "naturally" know and be able to respond to the changes that are going on inside—and outside—your body. Enter: the reassuring voice of Heidi Murkoff, whose words have for 35 years guided and consoled expectant moms into this new realm of parenthood. Now, along with a dozen other narrators—including her own daughter, Emma—you get to hear quite literally from the experts on everything from prenatal testing basics, to newly added topics such as alternative medicine, IVF, and hypnobirthing. And dads-to-be, there’s plenty for you here, too. Did I hear someone say “"listening date?"
  • Twisted Audiolibro Por Mary Pilon, Carla Correa arte de portada

    • Twisted

    • The Story of Larry Nassar and the Women Who Took Him Down
    • De: Mary Pilon, Carla Correa

    • The story that you think you’ve heard, but haven’t—and must
    • By now, you’ve likely heard the shockingly horrific story of the USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who sexually abused at least 150 girls under the guise of physical therapy. But what you likely haven’t heard are the raw, unencumbered voices of the gymnasts who eventually brought the truth to light and took him down. Among the chilling stories you hear from the now-adult victims: how, as children, Nassar groomed them for his unique, sought-after "therapy" and the way the community rationalized his beyond-invasive "treatment." Journalists Mary Pilon and Carla Correa meticulously reported and interviewed those affected to bring to life the stories and narrative that was so long hidden behind the groupthink propagated by the world of elite gymnastics. In no way is this easy listening, but it is chilling, riveting, and deeply necessary for anyone looking to prevent atrocities like this from happening again.
  • The Leader's Guide Audiolibro Por Eric Ries arte de portada

    • The Leader's Guide

    • De: Eric Ries
    • Narrado por: Eric Ries
    • Serie: The Lean Startup
    • Duración: 6 h y 18 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 04-25-19
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 431 calificaciones
    • Move fast and listen to good leadership advice
    • Through his books The Startup Way and The Lean Startup, Eric Ries has achieved leadership-guru status among those hoping to emulate the success of companies born and bred in and around Silicon Valley — both literally and zeitgeistily. (If you’ve seen a lot of email signatures with variations on the word "entrepreneur" in them, you probably have him to thank.) Buzzwords aside, getting managers to embrace the "move fast and break things" mentality espoused by a certain Northern Californian breed of employee isn’t always easy. That’s why Ries’s Leader's Guide, with prescriptive advice on how to implement these iconoclastic philosophies, is bound to be a must-listen for the new-era workplace.
  • The Myth of the Nice Girl Audiolibro Por Fran Hauser, Jodi Lipper arte de portada

    • The Myth of the Nice Girl

    • Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate
    • De: Fran Hauser, Jodi Lipper
    • Narrado por: Fran Hauser
    • Duración: 5 h y 51 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 04-17-18
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 787 calificaciones
    • The power of being personable, not just personnel
    • If you’re hoping to achieve balance not just between your work life and your non-work life, but your work self and your non-work self, Fran Hauser’s paean to workplace kindness will likely be the business-genre listen you never knew you needed. For me, it was freeing to know that making cookies for coworkers won’t torpedo your career, and weeping in the office isn’t the surefire way to a pink slip. On the contrary, Hauser strongly (but likeably) contends: perhaps our humanness is the most powerful human resource there is. It’s simultaneously plain as day and revolutionary. A must-listen for women hoping to find their authentic footing at their job.
  • The Last Days of August Audiolibro Por Jon Ronson arte de portada

    • The Last Days of August

    • De: Jon Ronson
    • Narrado por: Jon Ronson
    • Duración: 3 h y 43 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 01-03-19
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 4 out of 5 stars 15,235 calificaciones
    • Don’t believe everything you read on the internet (except this)
    • The titular "August" here is late adult-film star, August Ames, nee Mercedes Grabowski, who died by apparent suicide around the time she was the subject of a massive Twitter pile-on. Author and audio-storyteller extraordinaire, Jon Ronson, pulls up every corner to get the full picture. He explores questions like: Did her spouse have anything to do with her untimely end? Was social media bullying really to blame, or were other factors at play? The Last Days of August listens like equal parts mystery, thriller, social science exploration, and embedded journalistic undertaking—and it’s ultimately so satisfying in the end (albeit tragically so). And, lucky for Audible members this month, there's no credit required to listen.
  • The Perfect Mother Audiolibro Por Aimee Molloy arte de portada

    • The Perfect Mother

    • A Novel
    • De: Aimee Molloy

    • The search for a missing newborn—and maternal perfection
    • Embedded in this utterly unputdownable mystery is a great takeaway message for new mothers everywhere: none of us really know what we’re doing, even if to all outward appearances we seem to have it all figured out. While the story of a missing newborn will keep you hooked, the nuances—psychological, emotional, and relationship-bound—of bringing a new human into the world keep the mystery grounded. As the clues come together around who abducted a baby during a moms' night out, so do the realizations that, in fact, the concept of the “perfect mother” is itself a mystery—and altogether nonexistent.
  • You Are a Badass at Making Money Audiolibro Por Jen Sincero arte de portada

    • You Are a Badass at Making Money

    • Master the Mindset of Wealth
    • De: Jen Sincero

    • Financia la sabiduría para el que no le gusta las finanzas
    • El dinero no es típicamente un tema que inspire la risa, o incluso una conversación placentera. De hecho, de acuerdo con las anticuadas reglas sobre modales, se supone que ni siquiera debemos hablar de ello. Pero como cualquiera que recuerde el tono simpático de Jen Sincero desde You Are A Badass puede adivinar, este no es un libro sobre seguir al rebaño o encajar. Aquí, Sincero derriba hermosamente estigmas ampliamente sostenidos sobre el dinero, que es la raíz de todo mal, que las personas ricas son deplorables por naturaleza, y proporciona consejos reales y prácticos sobre cómo reajustar su forma de pensar acerca del éxito monetario.
  • Matilda Audiolibro Por Roald Dahl arte de portada

    • Una delicia para padres y niños amantes de libros
    • Como madre amante de los libros, instintivamente me dedico a Matilda, una niña anárquica de 5 años que prefiere a Steinbeck a las pantallas y es tan traviesa como precozmente enamorada de la palabra escrita. Aproximadamente un billón de palabras han sido escritas sobre cómo criar a un niño feliz, pero tan pocas sobre cómo criar a un bibliofilo valiente - y aún menos a través de la inimitable voz de Kate Winslet, que encarna completamente a los villanos y héroes en este clásico de Roald Dahl.
  • The Underground Railroad (Television Tie-in) Audiolibro Por Colson Whitehead arte de portada

    • The Underground Railroad (Television Tie-in)

    • A Novel
    • De: Colson Whitehead
    • Narrado por: Bahni Turpin
    • Duración: 10 h y 43 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 08-02-16
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 16,152 calificaciones
    • Un trabajo excelente y escalofriante llevado a la vida con una narración impecable
    • Una obra importante por donde quiera que la veas, el punto de vista de Colson Whitehead acerca de la ruta de escape de los esclavos se entrega en un lenguaje sin barnizar que pone al descubierto la atrocidad de ese momento más oscuro de nuestra historia. La narración de Bahni Turpin es a la vez escalofriante y sutilmente evocadora a medida que pasa de ser una esclava a una brutal propietaria de esclavos; de las representaciones de duros asaltos a los fugaces y hermosos momentos de esperanza. Es una escucha que ha cambiado para siempre mi percepción de un tiempo feo que antes había conocido principalmente por los prácticos relatos de libros de texto.

    • Explora los efectos inesperados de un lado oscuro de Internet
    • Si te gusta explorar los márgenes de la sociedad, querrás el podcast original de Audible, The Butterfly Effect. El escritor de grandes ventas Jon Ronson (Them, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed) explora las consecuencias de la industria de la tecnología dando al mundo lo que quería: porno gratis. Las vidas estaban destrozadas. Se hicieron fortunas. "Es una historia misteriosa, una aventura”, Ronson le dice a Audible. “También es una nueva forma de contar una historia”. Desde una oficina monótona en Montreal hasta el centro de cine para adultos en San Fernando Valley, Ronson habla con personas que han hecho su vida en el negocio del placer, y cómo todo cambió cuando internet intervino. Y, escuchar sobre las consecuencias cada vez más problemáticas de esa interrupción.
