Dale Carnegie (Author), Andrew Macmillian (Narrator) How to Win Friends and Influence People - AUDIO BOOK Simon & Schuster Audio | ISBN 0671579592 | Unabridged edition (December 1, 1999) | mp3 | 64 Kbps | (22.6 + 23.3 + 21.6 + 25.2 + 10.7 +12.6 + 27.1 + 25.9) MB Book Description: This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to \"the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people.\" He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and \"arousing in the other person an eager want.\" You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, \"let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers,\" and \"talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.\" Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. YOU CAN GO AFTER THE JOB YOU WANT...AND GET IT! YOU CAN TAKE THE JOB YOU HAVE...AND IMPROVE IT! YOU CAN TAKE ANY SITUATION YOU'RE IN...AND MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU! For more than sixty years the rock-solid, time-tested advice in this book has carried thousands of now famous people up the ladder of success in their business and personal lives. Now this previously revised and updated bestseller is available in trade paperback for the first time to help you achieve your maximum potential throughout the next century! Learn:
* THREE FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUES IN HANDLING PEOPLE * THE SIX WAYS TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU * THE TWELVE WAYS TO WIN PEOPLE TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING * THE NINE WAYS TO CHANGE PEOPLE WITHOUT AROUSING RESENTMENT

Eoin Colfer 'Artemis Fowl, Book 1': "
Eoin Colfer 'Artemis Fowl, Book 1'
Audiobook | Publisher: Listening Library | ISBN: 1400085861 | 2004 | English | MP3 128 Kbps | 328 MB

Eoin Colfer describes his new book, Artemis Fowl, as 'Die Hard with fairies.' He's not far wrong.

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. With two trusty sidekicks in tow, he hatches a cunning plot to divest the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. Of course, he isn't foolish enough to believe in all that 'gold at the end of the rainbow' nonsense. Rather, he knows that the only way to separate the little people from their stash is to kidnap one of them and wait for the ransom to arrive. But when the time comes to put his plan into action, he doesn't count on the appearance of the extrasmall, pointy-eared Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaisance) Unit--and her senior officer, Commander Root, a man (sorry, elf) who will stop at nothing to get her back.

Fantastic stuff from beginning to end, Artemis Fowl is a rip-roaring, 21st-century romp of the highest order. The author has let his imagination run riot by combining folklore, fantasy, and a fistful of high-tech funk in an outrageously devilish book that could well do for fairies what Harry Potter has done for wizardry. But be warned: this is no gentle frolic, so don't be fooled by the fairy subject matter. Instead, what we have here is well-written, sophisticated, rough 'n' tumble storytelling with enough high-octane attitude to make it a seriously cool read for anyone over the age of 10.

It demonstrates how to put Hill’s philosophy of personal achievement to work for you, every day of your life! It’s fun and easy to learn how to present yourself in a positive and successful way.

Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) 'Blaze': "
Stephen King 'Blaze'
Audiobook | Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio; Unabridged edition | ISBN: 0743569784 | 2007 | English | MP3 192 Kbps | 543 MB

Clayton Blaze Blazedell Jr.'s chance for a normal life ended when his father repeatedly threw him down a flight of stairs. After finishing his adolescence in an orphanage, the large man with a striking dent in his forehead plays sidekick to George, a social deviant with a knack for cons.

However, when George is killed, Blaze must come up with a con of his own. With George's ghost to guide him, Blaze just might pull it off. Stephen King's last novel under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman has all the classic markings of the auteur, but is marred even before it starts by King's introduction, where he almost apologizes for publishing the book. Having narrated several King books already, McLarty already knows the author's syntax. His raspy but gentle narration provides a familiar and comforting voice for King fans. His rasp lightens up when delivering the slow-witted Blaze, but then deepens for George's scratchy voice. His old-timer Maine accents also produce a smile, when not evoking mental images of grizzled old semitoothed men.

Join The Hunt To Save The Fox!

The Art Deco Society of California has committed to raise $2,500 to help the Oakland Fox Theater pay down their bills. Now is the time we become a fundraising organization instead of cheering from the sidelines. The economy has slowed down and makes money tight for everyone, including non profits. So please dig deep with a tax-deductable donation and help us help our neighbors. Keep your eye on the Fox-O-Meter, every $100 turns a fox red as we get closer to our goal of $2,500. With this commitment the ADSC gets a lovely brass plaque at the Fox Theater site.
