Ring the Hill

Tom Cox

Sinossi

A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked 'Quite A Lot Of Hills' where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are. Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations. Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.

Corporate Learning with Horses -...

Gerhard Jes Krebs

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if leadership cannot be taught—but only experienced?
For more than thirty years, HorseDream has explored a radically simple idea: Horses reveal what leadership truly is.
In the arena, titles disappear. Strategies fall away. What remains is presence, clarity, and authentic communication. Participants do not learn about leadership. They experience it.

Corporate Learning with Horses tells the story of this journey. From the first seminar in 1996 to an international network spanning continents, Gerhard Jes Krebs shares how a quiet experiment evolved into a global approach to leadership development. At the heart of the method lies a surprising principle: The horse is the trainer.

Without judgment, without interpretation, horses respond directly to human behavior. They mirror intention, expose inconsistency, and make leadership visible—within moments.
Inside this book, you will discover:

Why leadership begins with presence—not position
How horses create immediate and honest feedback
What “reduction” means—and why less creates deeper learning
How experiential learning with horses transforms teams and individuals
Why this approach works across cultures, industries, and hierarchies
This is not a manual. It is an invitation. An invitation to rethink leadership. To move beyond concepts and techniques.
To rediscover what has always been there.

Written for leaders, coaches, HR professionals, and anyone interested in experiential learning, this book offers a rare perspective on human behavior, trust, and transformation. Because in the arena, one truth becomes clear: You can only lead others as clearly as you lead yourself.

100 Things to Hate Before You Die

Claudia Stavola

Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.
