    Riverman (eBook, ePUB)
    The riveting story of Dick Conant, an American folk hero who, over the course of more than twenty years, canoed solo thousands of miles of American rivers-and then in 2014 disappeared near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. For decades, Dick Conant paddled the rivers of America, covering thousands of miles along the Mississippi, Yellowstone, Ohio, Hudson, and innumerable smaller tributaries. These solo excursions were epic feats of planning, perseverance, and physical courage. At the same time, Conant collected people wherever he went, creating a vast network of friends and acquaintances who would forever remember this brilliant and charming man even after a single meeting. Ben McGrath, a staff writer at The New Yorker, was one of those people. In 2014 he met Conant by chance just north of New York City as Conant paddled down the Hudson, headed for Florida. McGrath wrote a widely read article about their encounter, and when Conant's canoe washed up a few months later, without any sign of his body, McGrath set out to find the people whose lives Conant had touched--to capture a remarkable life lived far outside the staid confines of modern existence. Riverman is a moving portrait of a man who was as troubled as he was charismatic, who traveled alone but thrived on connection and brought countless people together in his wake. In the tradition of nonfiction classics like Great Plains and Blue Highways, it is also a portrait of an America we rarely see: a nation of unconventional characters, small river towns, and long-forgotten waterways.

    A seminal piece on the power of thought, developed in collaboration with Nightingale-Conant, Janice Bryant Howroyd voices this original classic written by James Allen, a pioneer of the self-help movement.Originally published in 1903, As a Man Thinketh is an essay which argues that the key to mastering your life is harnessing the power of your thoughts and helps you cultivate the philosophy and attitude of a positive, successful person.As a Person Thinks, now enhanced for the 21st century and written as gender-neutral, contains a women's point of view for the first time. Many of these older books focus on saying things such as "when a man" instead of "when a person". Howroyd believes that words matter and can make a difference. "James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh has changed the lives of countless people during the last century, inspiring them to realize the unlimited potential of their own thoughts. Today, Janice is updating this classic to make it more accessible to today’s generation,” said Vic Conant, chairman, Nightingale-Conant. Language: English. Narrator: Janice Bryant Howroyd.

    The Ultimate Jack Canfield Library: Create the Life You Desire, Hörbuch, Digital, 625min
    Jack Canfield is a Harvard graduate, an award-winning speaker, an internationally recognized leader in personal development and peak performance strategies, and one of the most well-published personal development authors ever. As the beloved originator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, he’s taught millions of individuals his modernized formulas for success. Jack is the author and co-author of more than 150 books (66 are best sellers) with more than 100 million copies in print in 47 languages around the world. His best-selling book, The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be has been hailed as the new self-improvement classic.Yet, when the Nightingale-Conant team was first introduced to Jack Canfield back in the early 1980s, his star was just beginning to rise, and not even they could foresee the vast impact this man would have on the world. Born in Ft. Worth, Texas on August 19, 1944, he spent his teen years in Wheeling, West Virginia, and graduated from Linsly Military Institute in 1962. After getting his Bachelor’s degree from Harvard, and his Master’s degree from University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Jack began his career in 1967 when he taught a year of high school in Chicago, Illinois. The big change in his career trajectory came in 1976 when Canfield co-authored 100 Ways to Enhance Self-Concept in the Classroom. This led to Jack being acknowledged as a leading expert on the topic of self-esteem and self-concept, and being named one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of America by the US Jaycees in 1978. Nightingale-Conant became aware of Jack after hearing an audio presentation he did for a company called Career Track. And that led to an introduction with Jack and the eventual publication of Jack’s first Nightingale-Conant audio program, How to Build High Self-Esteem, back in 1989. And that was the beginning of Nightingale-Conant both publishing and co-marketing several audio program Language: English. Narrator: Jack Canfield.
