Story
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Europe's migration problem superbly articulated
Reviewed: 18-02-19
This book is the nemesis to any politically correct lovey or liberal. Succint, thought provoking and backed up with facts and surveys, this book taps into what you feel but find hard to put into words. This author should write the UK immigration policy.

Story
The modern world is evolving at an unrelenting pace. With that pace comes increasing demands on our time and attention. Yes, technology has made our lives more convenient and we are living longer, but are we thriving, are we healthy, and are we happy? Many people are living in pain, both emotional and physical. Movement capacity is shrinking, trapping us inside our own bodies. Sleep deprivation is considered normal, as is low energy. And our ability to focus is dwindling. As human beings, we have some innate physiological and psychological needs. Gareth teaches you how to honour what it is to be human so that you can thrive in this modern world.

Short but very listenable book. Author is obviously genuine and from humble roots which is refreshing and better than the usual self help books written by privaliged people who think they have had it tough.

Story
Entrepreneurs often suffer from "superhero syndrome" - the misconception that to be successful, they must do everything themselves. They are not only the boss but also the salesperson, HR manager, copywriter, operations manager, online marketing guru, and so much more. It's no wonder so many people give up the dream of starting a business - it's just too much for one person to handle. But outsourcing expert and "Virtual CEO" Chris Ducker knows how you can get the help you need with resources you can afford.

A rip of the 5hr work week
Reviewed: 29-12-18
A poor attempt to piggyback on the brilliant 5hr work week that was a best seller. Philippines obsessed because he has a business there. Condescending in place's and also contradictory because he states a task is simple and then lists the 50 steps it takes to complete it. Probably only 5 good ideas in total.

Too long and too much religion
Reviewed: 11-12-18
Some very good nuggets of psychological gold in here but it takes some mining to find them. The author says in 5,000 words what could be said in 1,000. He is also bible obsessed and constantly refers to it as though it has great meaning. Still worth listening too for the interesting bits but prepare yourself for some boring spells.

Story
Have you ever felt as if you couldn't go on? That you were nearly lost under the weight of your own burdens? Were you told - or did you decide - that the only way out was to soldier on, to blindly grind out the days until you felt like you could breathe again, if not as well as before? What if there was another way?That's the option that Jerry is presented with by his best friend, Robert, along with an incredible tale of the man who came to Robert in his own time of need; the man who calls himself Mister Grief; the man who has a tale of his own to tell.

The Dambusters raid was just one, and possibly not the most the amazing. What bravery, what sacrifice, what skill, what invention in the fight for a free Europe. I tip my hat to all at bomber command.
