Packed with more than 450 sample questions, this audio book gives job-seekers the guidance they need to get the job they want!

"The excellent book... includes a wealth of suggestions on how to walk out of an interview with a best offer."
  - Joyce Lain Kennedy, syndicated career columnist

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just walk into an employer’s office, sit down, relax, answer questions honestly—in short, "just be yourself" — and instantly get the job? Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work like that. With people switching careers more and more often and the competition fierce for every position that becomes available, you’ve got to be primed for any question an interviewer may throw at you.

Packed with more than 450 sample questions, Acing the Interview gives you candid advice on answering even the trickiest and most unexpected interview questions. Written by the employment expert Dr. Phil called "the best of the best", this unique and powerful audio book helps you take charge of any interview situation. Having heard just about every conceivable interview question and answer since joining the placement and recruitment field in 1973, Tony Beshara knows firsthand what responses will get you hired. In this audio book, he arms you with the surefire answers that will keep you from getting weeded out from the large pool of eager applicants.

Acing the Interview helps prepare you for difficult—and sometimes even deceptively simple— questions, including:

• You really don’t have as much experience as we would like—why should we hire you?
• How many hours in your previous jobs did you have to work each week to get everything done?
• What do you consider most valuable—a high salary, job recognition, or advancement?

In addition, the audio book also arms you with many questions to ask prospective employers that could prevent you from making a big job mistake, such as:

• What would you say are the worst parts of this job?
• What are the major problems facing the company and this department?
• Why aren’t you promoting from within?
Acing the Interview takes you through the entire process, from the initial interview to evaluating a job offer, and even into salary negotiation. It’s a must-have guide that will enable you to get the job of your dreams.

Did you know that in a landmark study, aerobic exercise was shown to be as effective as antidepressants? That women who exercise, lower their chances of developing dementia by 50 percent? That a revolutionary fitness program helped put one U.S. school district of 19,000 kids first in the world in science? That, in fact, exercise sparks new brain-cell growth? The evidence is incontrovertible: aerobic exercise physically transforms our brains for peak performance.

In Spark, John J. Ratey, MD, takes you on a fascinating journey through the mind-body connection, presenting startling new research to prove that exercise is truly the best defense against everything from mood disorders to ADHD to addiction to menopause to Alzheimer’s. He explains that the brain works just as muscles do—growing with use, withering with inactivity—and shows why getting your heart and lungs pumping can mean the difference between a calm, focused mind and a harried, inattentive self.

Filled with cutting-edge science and amazing case studies, Spark is the first audio book to explore the connection between exercise and the brain. And with a simple, targeted regimen to get your body moving and your mind in peak condition, it will forever change the way you think about your morning run—and, for that matter, the way you think.

"Bravo! Everyone can benefit enormously from this brilliantly documented, groundbreaking work."

While every one of us hopes "to die well", this may not be possible without knowing our rights about care at the end of life.

• How can futile medical treatment be stopped?
• When might death be hastened?
• How can each of us retain control of these decisions?

The markets seem so crazy these days that an investor—and we’re all investors now with our 401(k)s, retirements and college educations to finance—hardly knows where to turn. While we struggle, the affluent seem to do just fine. How do they do it? Two words: asset allocation. No one knows this better than David Darst, one of the world’s foremost and visionary experts on what it take to make the most with your money.

Now Darst distills his immense knowledge into a gem of a guide that anyone can use. Based on a lifetime of clear thinking and innovative research borne out of decades of real-world experience, this audio book presents the art and science of asset allocation in a crisp, down-to-earth fashion. It’s like having your own chief investment strategist on call, just as the wealthy have, to guide you through the turbulent waters of the global financial markets as you learn:

• practical principles behind the process of managing your money in today’s challenging investment climate
• the substantial investment returns that the right mix of stocks, bonds, cash, gold, real estate, commodities, and other assets can bring to your portfolio
• the critical concept of correlation and how to spread your investments among uncorrelated asset classes to enhance returns and reduce the risks of long-term investing

The wealthy have long known—that 80% of investment returns are found to come from correct asset allocation. So whether you decide to do it on your own or with the help of a trusted advisor let Darst put you on a path that will help you maximize your returns and achieve your life goals.

From both an economic and monetary perspective, the United States is a house of cards-impressive on the outside, but a disaster waiting to happen beneath the surface. In a relatively short period of time, the country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar has declined; and manufacturing has given way to non-exportable services. While these and other issues could spell disaster for your financial well-being, the situation could also present unique opportunities-if you're prepared.

For more than a decade, seasoned Wall Street prognosticator Peter Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but has helped his clients restructure their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees today is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt; too little savings; a declining dollar; and lack of domestic manufacturing.

Here, Schiff provides you with an insightful examination of the structural weaknesses underlying this impending economic meltdown, and discusses how you can protect yourself-and profit-during the difficult times that lie ahead. Using common-sense analysis, creative analogies, and easy-to-understand language, Schiff entertains as well as educates, and outlines a specific three-step plan that will allow you to preserve wealth and protect the purchasing power of your savings.

#1: Rethinking Your Stock Portfolio: shows you exactly how to replace your endangered U.S. dollar holdings with a portfolio of foreign securities that are safer, significantly higher yielding, and appropriate for any investment objectives

#2: Gold Rush: examines the various ways you can capitalize on the bull market in gold, and silver, and explains how they can add both safety and exciting growth potential to a conservative foreign stock portfolio #3: Stay Liquid: discusses the importance of liquidity in times of financial uncertainty-from having enough money for living expenses to keeping a reserve of uncommitted cash that can be used to acquire assets at bargain prices

Investing using conventional wisdom will not work during times of financial distress. That's why Crash Proof has taken the reality of today's economic situation into account as it offers you guidance. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Crash Proof will help you survive and thrive during the coming years of economic uncertainty.

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful "choice architecture" can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. Nudge offers a unique new take-from neither the left nor the right-on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike. This is one of the most engaging and provocative audio books to come along in many years.

In this irreverent and illuminating audio book, acclaimed writer and scientist Leonard Mlodinow shows us how randomness, chance, and probability reveal a tremendous amount about our daily lives, and how we misunderstand the significance of everything from a casual conversation to a major financial setback. As a result, successes and failures in life are often attributed to clear and obvious causes, when in actuality they are more profoundly influenced by chance.

The rise and fall of your favorite movie star or the most reviled CEO-in fact, all our destinies-reflects chance as much as planning and innate abilities. Even Roger Maris, who beat Babe Ruth's single season home run record, was in all likelihood not great, but just lucky.

How could it have happened that a wine was given five out of five stars by one journal and called the worst wine of the decade by another? Wine ratings, school grades, political polls, and many other things in daily life are less reliable than we believe. By showing us the true nature of chance and revealing the psychological illusions that cause us to misjudge the world around us, Mlodinow gives fresh insight into what is really meaningful and how we can make decisions based on a deeper truth. From the classroom to the courtroom, from financial markets to supermarkets, from the doctor's office to the Oval Office, Mlodinow's insights will intrigue, awe, and inspire.

Offering listeners not only a tour of randomness, chance and probability but also a new way of looking at the world, this original, unexpected journey reminds us that much in our lives is about as predictable as the steps of a stumbling man afresh from a night at a bar.
