This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. "What if the stress and overwhelm in your life aren’t caused by what you face—but by caring too much about things that don’t deserve your energy? In this liberating audiobook, Vera Mindwell challenges the belief that constant concern, emotional investment, and striving make us better or happier. Instead, she reveals how modern culture trains us to overthink, overextend, and overidentify with expectations that drain our wellbeing every day. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, Mindwell explains why the brain clings to worries, approval, and imagined threats—and how this automatic caring becomes a mental habit we mistake for responsibility. She offers a compelling alternative: the skill of selective concern, the art of choosing what actually matters while releasing everything that never truly did. Through practical strategies and evidence-based insights, you’ll learn how emotionally grounded people set boundaries without guilt, detach from unhelpful narratives, and stay centered even when life gets loud. Mindwell dismantles the myth that caring more makes you more compassionate, showing instead how intentional detachment leads to healthier relationships, clearer priorities, and genuine inner peace. If you’re tired of carrying the weight of everyone’s expectations, this audiobook invites you to let go—and finally breathe again."Mostra libro

An incredible journey of traumatic near-death moments, day to day drudgery, amusing situations, and brushes with greatness in World War II. Life for a World War II paratrooper was grave and perilous; John H. Canfield's experience was no different. However, this young man found himself in so many crazy—sometimes humorous—situations that he almost forgot about how dangerous it was. Filled with pranksters and superiors full of bravado and an unfortunate brush with racial bigotry with a fellow African American soldier, Canfield shares his many stories from basic training and jump school. But his best stories are from the war. From having to translate a dinner for an inebriated superior using his scant French, to getting chewed out by none other than General George S. Patton, Canfield shares a wealth of experiences from his WWII tour of the European theater. In Small Victories in a Great Big War, John H. Canfield shows that half the battle is surviving, and that he did. With bravery and flair, Canfield returned home to Connecticut with more than a few amusing anecdotes. More than seventy-five years after the end of World War II, John H. Canfield's stories are now shared with the world.Mostra libro
