The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose (Audiobook, MP3)
The combination of this touching book and Brian Keeler’s deeply connected narration results in a life-changing audio experience that few people will forget once they hear it. Even frozen souls will be inspired to look with fresh eyes at their purpose in life and to chart a course that expresses that potential. Our daily choices only make sense relative to that purpose, and without one people are often driven to self-destruction and self-loathing. Instead of wallowing in fickle illusions, develop a solid purpose and serve it every day with intelligent and determined actions. A beautiful audio invitation to set some goals, and a heartfelt provocation to do something about them.
One platform in one of London's busiest stations is an old doorway covered with peeling posters. No one walking by (if anyone did) would guess that it is the entrance to a magical kingdom — an island where humans live happily with mermaids, ogres, feys, and wonderful creatures called mistmakers. Carefully hidden from the world, the Island is accessible only when the door opens for nine days every nine years. A lot can go wrong in nine days. When the beastly Mrs. Trottle kidnaps the prince of the Island, it's up to a strange band of rescuers to save him. But can an ogre, a hag, a wizard, and a fey troop around London unnoticed? And what if the prince doesn't want to go back?

What grabs and holds attention on a page or screen? What is more important, peripheral vision or central vision? How much information is too much at one time? How do you motivate people to continue on to the next step? What line length should you use if you want people to read text on or offline? What about color? Imagery? Does font type really matter?
