About this listen
This is an audio summary and analysis of the short story called "The Swimmer". It was part of a short story collection I had to read for a ENG (English College Class).
I hope this will provide a great example of how a summary analysis should look like in regards to the short story. I did reflect on symbols, motifs, and themes in the story and how they can relate to life in general.
I hold an Associates of Business Management Technology, and I also am finishing up my Bachelor's of Business Administration degree.

In the world of strength and conditioning, learning how to move others not just physically, but also psychologically and emotionally is paramount to getting the most out of them. People are the ultimate performance variable, and understanding how to effectively blend knowledge of proper training with the nuances of human behavior is integral to helping athletes achieve their ultimate goals. Unfortunately, while much attention has been given to the science of physical training, little attention has been given to the science of communication.

Of all the religions, creeds, and self-help manifestos the world has produced, most concentrate on how to achieve salvation in aspects other than the here-and-now, with our lives merely transitory testing grounds for a higher realm or our actions guided so that we maximize life in a state of "enlightened hedonism", consuming rapaciously but really achieving not much at all. But there's one philosophy that provides a concrete foundation for living well, for living "a good life" in this world. Stoicism.

There are four characters in every story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. These four characters live inside us. If we play the victim, we’re doomed to fail. If we play the villain, we will not create genuine bonds. But if we play the hero or guide, our lives will flourish. The hard part is being self-aware enough to know which character we are playing. In this book, Donald will use his own experiences to help you recognize if the character you are currently surfacing is helping you experience a life of meaning.

If your life priorities have suffered badly, if you’ve taken a toll on your health by taking unnecessary stress due to every avoidable "yes", you need to be ready for becoming "not nice". You have to become more assertive in your life and work. Here is your practical blueprint.
