Go Break Bad - An In-depth...

Howard Jackson

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The TV show 'Breaking Bad' is not just habit forming but dangerous. Walter White was killed, and Jesse Pinkman has had to rebuild a new and perhaps innocent life in Alaska. But, without taking crystal meth or contravening the law, fans of the hit TV show now at least have an excuse or another reason to 'go break bad.' And those who are not fans? Well, you have to start somewhere, especially if you have a curious nature. 'Breaking Bad' was more than a hit TV show. Walter White and his adventures deserve to be remembered.
'Go Break Bad' avoids the format of the other books written about the TV hit 'Breaking Bad'. Rather than work through the shows chronologically and offer thematic analysis for each episode, 'Go Break Bad', like Combo and Skinny Pete on the streets in ABQ, searches for the street corners. It lingers in places where it is not expected.
'Go Break Bad' is driven by different and at times what might appear to be unrelated topics. Main men like Franz Kafka, William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and Herman Melville make an appearance but within 'Go Break Bad' there is plenty of room for the unexpected. The odd but illuminating connections include motor transport, economic theory, nuclear weaponry, education, the work ethic, left wing politics, the family, Hollywood cinema and more. 'Go Break Bad' can be read using natural daylight or at night on the roadside and under the glow from a streetlamp. Whichever way you read 'Go Break Bad' worry about what might be on the road ahead.

Decluttering For Beginners - A...

Johnny Nelson

You've tried before. You know that.
You watched the videos. You bought the bins. You had one really good Saturday where you filled three garbage bags and felt like a different person.
Then three months later, you were standing in the same kitchen, looking at the same counter, thinking the same thought. How did it get back to this?
Here's what nobody tells you: the problem was never your motivation. It was never willpower. The problem was that you were given inspiration when what you actually needed was a system.
Inspiration runs out. Systems don't.
Decluttering for Beginners is a step-by-step, room-by-room system built for real people with real lives and real homes that have been losing the battle against clutter for longer than they'd like to admit.
Inside, you'll discover why clutter keeps coming back even after you've done the work. You'll get a five-step loop that works on any space in your home, from a junk drawer to an entire garage. You'll learn how to let go of things you've held onto out of guilt and obligation. And you'll build a maintenance routine so simple you'll actually stick to it — even on the hard weeks.
This book doesn't ask you to become a minimalist. It asks one thing: start owning things on purpose instead of by accident.
Because a cluttered home isn't just an aesthetic problem. It's a daily tax. The ten minutes searching for your keys. The low-grade stress when you walk into certain rooms. The things you bought twice because you couldn't find the first one.
You deserve a home that doesn't cost you that.
If you've tried before and it didn't stick — this is why. And this is the fix.
