Make Your Bed
Summary
Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this number-one New York Times best seller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves - and the world - for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." (USA Today) "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." (Washington Post) "Superb, smart, and succinct." (Forbes)

Poets of Nature
Summary
It is hard to top the pleasure of a woodland walk in Spring - unless of course you have a lyric poet as your guide. Now that is possible with Poets of Nature. Let Walt Whitman, John Keats, Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Bronte, and Ralph Waldo Emerson take you into that realm of Nature "where we seldom wander". Drawing upon the treasury of classical poetry, Poets of Nature explores the deep green paths of nature with some of the world's most distinguished poets. This audio seeks to guide us back from the confines of a human constructed world to one that we are more at home and in harmony with.

Fatti il letto
Summary
"Se la mattina vi fate il letto, avrete portato a termine il primo compito della giornata. Questo vi darà una sensazione di orgoglio e vi incoraggerà a concluderne un altro, e poi un altro ancora. Farsi il letto, inoltre, rimarca la consapevolezza che nella vita le piccole cose contano. Se non sapete fare bene le piccole cose, non ne farete mai di grandi." Non è un'esperta di riordino o una madre esasperata a dettare questa semplice regola, ma un ammiraglio a quattro stelle della Marina americana. Nel suo discorso tenuto ai laureandi dell'università del Texas alla cerimonia di consegna dei diplomi, William McRaven ha condiviso i dieci principi che ha imparato durante l'addestramento da Navy seal e che lo hanno aiutato a superare le sfide non solo nella sua carriera, ma lungo tutta la sua vita. Perché non è necessario essere un Navy seal per trovarsi in situazioni difficili, dover prendere decisioni complicate o affrontare compiti apparentemente insormontabili. Chiunque, ha detto, può usare queste semplici regole per migliorare se stesso, e il mondo. Quel discorso, che ha avuto oltre cento milioni di visualizzazioni in rete, è il punto di partenza di "Fatti il letto". Intrise di empatia e coraggio, queste pagine hanno il contagioso potere di ispirare il lettore a dare il meglio di sé e ottenere il massimo dalla propria vita. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale.
