The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won"t Learn in College About How to Be Successful (Audiobook)




The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won"t Learn in College About How to Be Successful (Audiobook) by Michael Ellsberg


English | 2012 | ISBN: n/a | 9 hours and 51 minutes | MP3 64 kbps | 266 MB




The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career.




The Reality: The biggest thing you won"t learn in college is how to succeed professionally.




Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn"t finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you"ll need to learn to be successful you"ll have to learn on your own, outside of school.




Michael Ellsberg set out to fill in the gaps by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don"t have college degrees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons, Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz and founding president Sean Parker, WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg, and Pink Floyd songwriter and lead guitarist David Gilmour. Among the fascinating things he learned:




• How fashion designer Marc Ecko started earning $ 1,000 a week in high school with his own clothing business and later grew it into an empire.


• How billionaire Phillip Ruffin went from lowly department store clerk with no college degree to owner of Treasure Island on the Vegas Strip.


• How John Paul DeJoria went from homelessness to billionaire as the founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems hair care products.




This book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world. Even if you"ve already gone through college, the most important skills weren"t on the curriculum–how to find great mentors, build a world-class network, learn real-world marketing and sales, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, master the art of bootstrapping, and more.




Learning the skills in this book well is a necessary addition to any education, whether you"re a high school dropout or a graduate of Harvard Law School.

Girl Walks into a Bar...: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle [Audiobook]




Girl Walks into a Bar…: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle [Audiobook] by Rachel Dratch


English | April 3, 2012 | ASIN: B007R6B0AY | MP3@64 kbps | 5 hrs 12 mins | 148 MB

Narrator: Rachel Dratch | Genre: Nonfiction/Memoir/Humor




In this side-splitting memoir, the former Saturday Night Live star recounts the hilarious adventures and unexpected joy of dating and becoming a mother when she least expected it – at the age of 44.




Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as "Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians."




Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning Spanish – and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New York have to lose? Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance, Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she met John.




Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating long-distance, he became the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child and moved to New York to be a dad. With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.




Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch"s time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar is a refreshing version of the "happily ever after" story that proves female comics – like best sellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler – are truly having their moment.

The China Mirage: The Hidden History of American Disaster in Asia [Audiobook]




James Bradley, Pete Larkin (Narrator), "The China Mirage: The Hidden History of American Disaster in Asia"


ISBN: 1611136695, ASIN: B00U9SEGJY | 2015 | MP3@64 kbps | ~12:01:00 | 331 MB




"Bradley is sharp and rueful, and a voice for a more seasoned, constructive vision of our international relations with East Asia." –Christian Science Monitor




James Bradley introduces us to the prominent Americans–including FDR"s grandfather, Warren Delano–who in the 1800s made their fortunes in the China opium trade. Meanwhile, American missionaries sought a myth: noble Chinese peasants eager to Westernize.




The media propagated this mirage, and FDR believed that supporting Chiang Kai-shek would make China America"s best friend in Asia. But Chiang was on his way out and when Mao Zedong instead came to power, Americans were shocked, wondering how we had "lost China."




From the 1850s to the origins of the Vietnam War, Bradley reveals how American misconceptions about China have distorted our policies and led to the avoidable deaths of millions. The China Mirage dynamically explores the troubled history that still defines U.S.-Chinese relations today.

Swoon: Great Seducers and Why Women Love Them [Audiobook]




Swoon: Great Seducers and Why Women Love Them [Audiobook] by Betsy Prioleau


English | May 8, 2013 | ASIN: B00CP8OT1Q | MP3 VBR ~83 kbps | 8 hrs 18 mins | 309 MB

Narrator: Holly Fielding | Genre: Nonfiction/Sociology/Relationships




Swoon is a glittering pageant of charismatic ladies" men from Casanova to Lord Byron to Camus to Ashton Kutcher. It challenges every preconceived idea about great lovers and answers one of history"s most vexing questions: what do women want?




Contrary to popular myth and dogma, the men who consistently beguile women belie the familiar stereotypes: satanic rake, alpha stud, slick player, Mr. Nice, or big-money mogul. As Betsy Prioleau, author of Seductress, points out in this surprising, insightful study, legendary ladies" men are a different, complex species altogether, often without looks or money. They fit no known template and possess a cache of powerful erotic secrets.




With wit and erudition, Prioleau cuts through the cultural lore and reveals who these master lovers really are and the arts they practice to enswoon women. What she discovers is revolutionary. Using evidence from science, popular culture, fiction, anthropology, and history, and from interviews with colorful real-world ladykillers, Prioleau finds that great seducers share a constellation of unusual traits.




While these men run the gamut, they radiate joie de vivre, intensity, and sex appeal; above all, they adore women. They listen, praise, amuse, and delight, and they know their way around the bedroom. And they"ve finessed the hardest part: locking in and revving desire. Women never tire of these fascinators and often, like Casanova"s conquests, remain besotted for life.




Finally, Prioleau takes stock of the contemporary culture and asks: where are the Casanovas of today? After a critique of the twenty-first-century sexual malaise – the gulf between the sexes and women"s record discontent – she compellingly argues that society needs ladies" men more than ever. Groundbreaking and provocative, Swoon is underpinned with sharp analysis, brilliant research, and served up with seductive verve.

Steve Jobs (Audiobook)




Steve Jobs (Audiobook) by Walter Isaacson and Dylan Baker


English | 2013 | ISBN: 1442369043 | ASIN: B005YUDRKQ | 9 hours and 17 minutes | MP3 128 kbps | 505 MB




From the author of the bestselling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, this is the exclusive biography of Steve Jobs.




Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.


Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs spoke candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.




Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

From the richest Romans to the robber barons to today"s bankers and tech billionaires, Sam Wilkin offers Freakonomics-esque insight into what it really takes to make a fortune.

Wilkin"s insight into the sources of wealth is thought-provoking and rigorous, and he reveals that behind almost every great fortune is a ""wealth secret"" – a moneymaking technique designed to defeat the forces of market competition.

Mate: Become the Man Women Want [Audiobook]




Mate: Become the Man Women Want [Audiobook] by Tucker Max, Geoffrey Miller


English | September 15, 2015 | ASIN: B0141QTXVA, ISBN: 1478954701 | MP3@96 kbps | 12 hrs 43 mins | 540 MB

Narrator: Geoffrey Miller | Genre: Nonfiction/Relationships




The #1 bestselling pioneer of "fratire" and a leading evolutionary psychologist team up to create the dating book for guys




Whether they conducted their research in life or in the lab, experts Tucker Max and Dr. Geoffrey Miller have spent the last 20+ years learning what women really want from their men, why they want it, and how men can deliver those qualities.




The short answer: become the best version of yourself possible, then show it off. It sounds simple, but it"s not. If it were, Tinder would just be the stuff you use to start a fire. Becoming your best self requires honesty, self-awareness, hard work and a little help.




Through their website and podcasts, Max and Miller have already helped over one million guys take their first steps toward Ms. Right. They have collected all of their findings in Mate, an evidence-driven, seriously funny playbook that will teach you to become a more sexually attractive and romantically successful man, the right way:




– No "seduction techniques"


– No moralizing


– No bullshit




Just honest, straightforward talk about the most ethical, effective way to pursue the win-win relationships you want with the women who are best for you.




Much of what they"ve discovered will surprise you, some of it will not, but all of it is important and often misunderstood. So listen up, and stop being stupid!

Hilarity Ensues [Audiobook] by Tucker Max


English | February 23, 2012 | ASIN: B007CNMP7E | MP3@256 kbps | 9 hrs 38 mins | 1.1 GB

Narrator: Tucker Max | Genre: Nonfiction/Memoir




Here"s Tucker Max"s third and final book in his series of stories about his drunken debauchery and ridiculous antics. What began as a simple sentence on an obscure website, "My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole," and developed into two infamously genre-defining books, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and Assholes Finish First, ends here. But as you should expect from Tucker by now, he is going out with a bang – literally and figuratively.




In this book, you"ll learn:




How to live and work in Cancun, while still enrolled in Law School


Why Halloween is really awesome


How to subtly torture a high-strung roommate until he explodes with furious anger over a misplaced condiment


What really happened when a dirty pageant girl tried to sue Tucker because he told the truth


Why you should never accept a homemade treat from a hippie with a van, and


What happens when Tucker turns sexting into a sport.




He"s still Tucker Max, and – for one more book – he"s still an asshole.

Narrator: Tucker Max | Genre: Nonfiction/Memoir




What do you do after you write a number-one best-selling book about your drunken, sexual misadventures that makes you rich and famous? Celebrate by getting more drunk and having insane amounts of sex, obviously. And pretty soon you"ve got another f-ing book on your hands. Stuffed full of ridiculous stories of bad decisions, debauchery, and sexual recklessness, Assholes Finish First starts where I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell left off, then proceeds to "some next-level shit." You already know how women react to confidence, game, and vodka, but what happens when you add money and fame to the mix? You get answers to the hard questions you"ve never thought of asking: What"s it like to have sex with a midget? What about two midgets? How does it feel to get multiple requests to "fuck for charity"? What does it do to a man to watch a 19-year-old do wind sprints to sober up, so that she can have sex with you before her twin sister does? At what number of virgins does deflowering them stop being fun and start feeling like a job? When a girl you met three hours ago decides to tattoo your name next to her pussy, what is the appropriate reaction? Can you X-ray a blowjob? The answers are inside, they are absurd and hilarious, and they are the product of one man"s experiences: His name is Tucker Max, and he is still an asshole.

Narrator: Tucker Max | Genre: Nonfiction/Memoir




My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world.

Narrator: Robertson Dean | Genre: Nonfiction/History




Respected historian Bill Sloan tells the full story of the Battle of Okinawa as it has never been told before, through the eyes of the men in battle.




Using the same grunt"s-eye-view narrative style of Sloan"s acclaimed Brotherhood of Heroes, The Ultimate Battle is the full story of the largest land-sea-air battle ever waged by the United States, a battle whose staggering casualties and take-no-prisoners ferocity led Truman to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. From April through June 1945, more than 250,000 American and Japanese lives were lost, including those of nearly 150,000 civilians who either committed suicide or were caught in the crossfire. This book tells a gripping story of heroism, sacrifice, and death.

Verbal Advantage Success Edition [Audiobook] Repost




Verbal Advantage Success Edition [Audiobook] by Charles Harrington Elster


English | ASIN: B000F6MO26 | MP3 VBR V5 | 23 hours | + PDF | 863 MB

Narrator: Charles Harrington Elster | Genre: Nonfiction/Vocabulary




People Judge You By The Words You Use.




Studies over many decades have proven that a strong command of the English language is directly linked to career advancement, to the money you make and even to social success. To move ahead in your career, your vocabulary level must at least equal the average level of the members of your profession. To excel, your vocabulary must surpass that of your colleagues. Every day, people judge you by the words you use. Rightly or wrongly, they make assumptions about your intelligence, your education and your capabilities. Nothing makes a better impression than a solid mastery of the English language.




Remove Obstacles In Your Path.




Not having a strong command of language can be a serious handicap, an obstacle that prevents you from achieving your goals. Someone who cannot express ideas eloquently, who hesitates because of uncertainty about the right word, can appear less than fully competent and qualified. Don"t let that kind of mistake hold you back from achieving your career goals and from all the other rewards and recognition you deserve. So doesn"t it make sense to have at your command as large, as diverse and as exact a vocabulary as possible?

Narrator: Simon Prebble | Genre: Nonfiction/Science/Biology




Referring to Lewis Carroll"s Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass, a character who has to keep running to stay in the same place, Matt Ridley demonstrates why sex is humanity"s best strategy for outwitting its constantly mutating internal predators. The Red Queen answers dozens of other riddles of human nature and culture – including why men propose marriage, the method behind our maddening notions of beauty, and the disquieting fact that a woman is more likely to conceive a child by an adulterous lover than by her husband.




Brilliantly written, The Red Queen offers an extraordinary new way of interpreting the human condition and how it has evolved.

Factotum [Audiobook]




Factotum [Audiobook] by Charles Bukowski


English | August 13, 2013 | ASIN: B00E63OXKK | MP3@64 kbps | 5 hrs 9 mins | 146 MB

Narrator: Christian Baskous | Genre: Modern Classics




One of Charles Bukowski"s best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next.




Charles Bukowski"s posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.
