Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do.

Craig & Fred Young Readers' Edition
A heartwarming story of a stray dog and a U.S. Marine who met under the unlikeliest circumstances in Afghanistan-and who changed each other's lives forever. As part of an elite team of Marines, Craig Grossi was sent on his most dangerous assignment to the Sangin District of Afghanistan. He expected to face harsh conditions and violence from Taliban fighters. What he didn't expect was to meet a stray dog, with a big goofy head and little legs-a dog all on his own, filthy and covered in bugs, in a bomb-ridden district, but who carried himself with confidence. And even though the Marines have a rule against approaching strays, Craig couldn't help but offer some food and a pat-and was shocked when the dog wagged his tail. From that moment on, they were inseparable; whether out on missions or back at the base, the dog named Fred went along. When the time came for Craig to leave Afghanistan, he knew that Fred had to leave with him no matter what. And as Craig tried to get acclimated to civilian life, Fred was there for him. This audiobook tells the inspiring story of two friends who ultimately rescued each other, and the stubborn positivity and love that continue to shape their world.

Summary of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by
Learn how you can apply the main lessons & principles from The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck in a quick, easy listen!For a considerable length of time, we've been informed that positive reasoning is the way to an upbeat, rich life. 'F**k energy,' Mark Manson says. 'Let's be realistic, shit is f**ked and we need to live with it.' In his uncontrollably mainstream Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat. He comes out with the plain truth—a measurement of crude, reviving, genuine truth that is painfully deficient with regards to today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his remedy to the cosseting, let's-all-vibe great outlook that has tainted present day society and ruined an age, compensating them with gold decorations only to appear. Manson makes the contention, supported both by scholastic research and all around coordinated crap jokes, that enhancing our lives pivots not on our capacity to transform lemons into lemonade,instead on figuring out how to stomach lemons better. Individuals are defective and constrained—'not every person can be uncommon, there are victors and washouts in the public eye, and some of it isn't reasonable or something that you can control.' Manson encourages us to become more acquainted with our confinements and acknowledge them. When we grasp our feelings of trepidation, issues, and vulnerabilities, when we quit running and staying away from and begin standing up to difficult facts, we can start to discover the bravery, persistence, trustworthiness, duty, interest, and absolution we look for. This audio captures the key takeaways found in the original book. All fluff and unnecessary information has been removed to save you hours of time. If you've already read the original, this audio will help you cement the most important lessons. If you haven't, don't worry, here you will find all the practical information that you can apply.
