The Secret Garden - Audiobook Mistress Mary is quite contrary until she helps her garden grow. Along
the way, she manages to cure her sickly cousin Colin, who is every bit
as imperious as she. These two are sullen little peas in a pod, closed
up in a gloomy old manor on the Yorkshire moors of England, until a
locked-up garden captures their imaginations and puts the blush of a
wild rose in their cheeks; "It was the sweetest, most
mysterious-looking place any one could imagine. The high walls which
shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of roses which were so
thick, that they matted together.... 'No wonder it is still,' Mary
whispered. 'I am the first person who has spoken here for ten years.'"
As new life sprouts from the earth, Mary and Colin's sour natures begin
to sweeten. For anyone who has ever felt afraid to live and love, The Secret Garden's
portrayal of reawakening spirits will thrill and rejuvenate. Frances
Hodgson Burnett creates characters so strong and distinct, young
readers continue to identify with them even 85 years after they were
conceived.
AUDIOBOOK: How to be a Winner
You have the potential. But you need that powerful lift that can vault you over any obstacle: a winning attitude. Your talents and skills are inert without a winning self-image to activate them.

You can train your mind and body for high performance by applying Zig's formula to your everyday life. As you gain a winning edge, you'll be able to:
* Find the positive in people and situations
* Change bad habits
* Set goals
* Have more rewarding relationships
