UNBOX YOUR LIFE Curbing Chronic Complainers, Living Life Liberated, and Other Secrets to Success

Though this audiobook's simple advice may seem like a rehash of what we heard from personal growth authors in the 1980s and '90s, narrator Seth Podowitz makes the author's message sound up to date and relevant. In the mold of Tony Robbins, German native Tobias Beck aims to help people who don't fit in--self-restricting underachievers who need a strong push to take charge of their world and express their talents. Beck's personal story of coming to the U.S. as an exchange student and learning about life through working at Disney World and other entry-level jobs is compelling. His resonant tone and gentle rhythms sound like wisdom. With his vocal security and intelligence, he softens Beck's self-involved tone and makes his message more credible.
