  Selfish, Scared and Stupid: Stop Fighting Human Nature and Increase Your Performance, Engagement and Influence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min

  If you want to succeed...prepare for failure! Why is change so difficult? Why are leaders experiencing unprecedented levels of disengagement? Why are sales people falling so short of their targets? And, perhaps most importantly, why is it that so many seemingly sound businesses and worthy causes falter, relegating exciting new ideas to the scrap heap? After years of having motivational smoke blown up our collective backsides, we've started to act as if we are all generous, bold, and intelligent - all of the time! We've designed our organizations, teams, systems, products, relationships, and lives so we can succeed only under ideal 'laboratory' conditions. Anything less than perfection often means catastrophe. The problem is that's not how human beings work at all. Behavioral strategists Dan Gregory and Kieran Flanagan argue that if you want to increase your chances of success in business and life, you should design for reality. Offering real-world strategies with a healthy dose of wit and charm, Selfish, Scared & Stupid will help you design for success by aligning with natural human behaviors: selfishness, fear, and stupidity. ungekürzt.

  Secret of the Blue Pouch : Adventures in the Kingdom, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min

  Secret of the Blue Pouch Seeker is about to go on a new kind of adventure and fight the greatest battle he has ever fought...but no one knows about it. No one knows what Seeker really wants. No one knows about the picture in the little white box. And no one knows about the...fifteen coins. Quickly hiding the little, blue leather pouch underneath his mattress, Seeker ran out of the house, raced through the streets of Peace and Harmony, and came to a skidding halt at the foot of the straight and narrow path. Seeker didn't realize that a nasty little dragon had watched him hide the pouch and was now rubbing his claws together in delight. "I've found it!" the dragon whispered. I've found the something...the something that Seeker will want more than he wants the King. Soon the other children will follow him right back to the CARNALville of Selfishness where they belong! The nasty little dragon rubbed his claws together in anticipation, picked his nose thoughtfully, and laughed a quiet but very wicked laugh. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dian Layton.

  Father Goriot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 720min

  Impoverished young aristocrat Eugene de Rastignac is determined to climb the social ladder and impress himself on Parisian high society. While staying at the Maison Vauquer, a boarding house in Paris's rue Neuve-Sainte-Genevieve, he encounters Jean-Joachim Goriot, a retired vermicelli maker who has spent his entire fortune supporting his two daughters. The boarders strike up a friendship and Goriot learns of Rastignac's feelings for his daughter Delphine. He begins to see Rastignac as the ideal son-in-law, and the perfect substitute for Delphine's domineering husband. But Rastignac has other opportunities too, as the notorious criminal Vautrin, "The Death Dodger", offers to murder the brother of a wealthy woman, giving the ambitious young lawyer a clear path to her fortune. Profound and realistic, Father Goriot is a startling glimpse into the vanity and selfishness of 19th-century Paris. It is considered one of the finest works of Balzac's La Comedie Humaine. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

  Shine: Being His Light in Darkness (eBook, ePUB)

  When we look around at the darkness of this world, it's hard to see the light. Jesus declared, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" (John 9:5). Yet, Jesus is no longer in the world. In fact, it's been over two thousand years since He's walked this earth. So where is the light now?The truth is that it's in us. As said in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world." Shine is an eight-week study into this truth―into identifying the One True Light and learning how to shine brighter for Him. God's light reveals truth, draws others, and exposes sin, and our own light works to do the same. However, it is not so easy because it's a fight against fear, selfishness, apathy, and the harmful impulse to hide one's personal light.The very concept of light is seen all throughout Scripture, blooming with the first verses of Genesis and concluding with the last verses of Revelation, and it is through this that Shine sheds its own light onto God's Word. Rebecca J. Nolley utilizes compassion and inspiration to explore the significance of walking forward as beacons of light and the valuable message that when we shine the light of Jesus into the lives of others, more people will turn to Him, and He will be further glorified. Shine begins and ends its study with the Giver of Light and the simple truth that it is through Him and by Him we are able to shine.

  Relationships Part 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 65min

  Relationships with our partners and "best" friends need to be of a high quality in order to feel "as one". If you have a partner the conversation should have changed from "me" to "us" and from "I" to "we"; if it hasn't then what are you doing together? The union of a couple whether straight or gay (or anything else) is a mutual harmony, otherwise what is the union all about. All this "I need my space" is a modern "cop-out", stay single and enjoy all the space you need. Selfishness in a relationship is a major curse as is "emotional blackmail", harmony doesn't have pockets of personal agendas, which doesn't mean you can't have individual thoughts and aspirations. Convenience isn't the base for any relationship as it produces eventually a "has been" situation and you end up as "shoddy goods" again and again. And remember if you have had a string of failed relationships the common denominator is you not your partner(s). This is part two of Relationships and explores the options and things we do that go wrong or make it all right. Language: English. Narrator: Mr John Stewart Rushton.

  Why We Fight: Practices for Lasting Peace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min

  War is the most ancient and primitive way of dealing with conflict. According to yoga, stopping the cycle of war requires delving into the subtle causes underlying material desires and religious differences. These are selfishness, ego, greed, ethnocentrism, and sense of inferiority. Because of these attributes, we fail to do what we know is right, and persist in doing what we know is wrong. In the scriptures, this phenomenon is called killing the conscience.The great scriptures of yoga - the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutra, and the Upanishads - clearly describe how the subtle causes of external war emanate from the internal world. The real cause of war lies rooted in the individual's unwillingness to listen to the voice of the heart, the inner conscience. Drawing on the philosophy of yoga and other spiritual systems, Why We Fight: Practices for Lasting Peace offers practical tools for self-transformation. Through contemplation and spiritual practice, we can replace greed, desire, jealousy, and anger with compassion, tolerance, and love for ourselves and others. By cultivating these qualities in our daily lives, we have the power to make a positive impact on the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Abella.

  The Virility Paradox: The Vast Influence of Testosterone on Our Bodies, Minds, and the World We Live In , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min

  Testosterone propels our drive for exploration and risk, for competition and creation, and even our survival. The effects of testosterone permeate the traditions, philosophy, and literature of every known culture - without it, the world would be a drastically different place. It also has a role in humanity's darker side, contributing to violence, hubris, poverty, crime, and selfishness. Recent revelations of the science of testosterone show that high levels will deplete compassion and generosity, and even reduce the affection we show our children. In The Virility Paradox, internationally renowned oncologist and prostate cancer researcher Charles Ryan explores this complex chemical system responsible for a diverse spectrum of human behaviors and health in both men and women. Ryan taps his vast experience treating prostate cancer with testosterone-lowering therapy, observing that this often leads to profound changes in the patients' perspectives on their lives and relationships. Often, for the better. He also explores the connections between testosterone and conditions like dementia, autism, and cancer, as well as the biological underpinnings of sexual assault and the effects it has on on everything from crime to investing to everyday choices we make. ungekürzt.
