Author: Maria Shriver
Genre: self-help
I ordered this one on half.com as an audiobook, because I've only ever done the audiobook thing once in my life before. I got this particular piece by Shriver because I was so inspired by her last little self-help book, and I admire her focus, ambition and ability to multitask career & family. As a woman, that kind of balance is like a fine art. What made me respect her so much in her last book was that her writer's voice uniquely demonstrated her ability to be down-to-earth and laugh at herself - while realistically acknowledging her fortunate background.
I was able to listen to Ten Things...while just driving around to various appointments in the span of 2-3 days. I would recommend this as an audiobook because it seemed like the perfect way to consume/ingest such a story. Shriver's story further inspired me to work through professional and personal obstacles and to not worry about the opinions and judgments of others.
