    Motivational Motives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 130min
    Motivational Motives is a composite of short stories put forth to serve as a guide, self-help, and a tool to assist the listener in their day-to-day life and decision-making. Many of the characters of Motivational Motives were placed or conveniently placed themselves in a proverbial bubble that can be popped by anyone labeled as an authority figure - powerful or better than the masses based on race, creed, color, or permissible accolade. The context of the book encourages the listener to examine and place themselves in the position of the characters and truly identify the motivational reasoning for their initiative (MRI). ungekürzt.

    H.P. Lovecraft: The Life and Career of the Influential Horror Fiction Author , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
    “Now all my tales are based on the fundamental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large. To me there is nothing but puerility in a tale in which the human form - and the local human passions and conditions and standards - are depicted as native to other worlds or other universes." (H.P. Lovecraft)What would you get if you mixed Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Hitchcock, and Stephen King? The answer might be something resembling Howard Phillips Lovecraft, an extremely influential poet and author who mixed science fiction, horror, and fantasy into a subgenre known as “weird fiction”. Perhaps nothing encapsulates weird fiction like his creation of the monster Cthulhu, which has been used by other writers to spawn a fictional universe and mythology centered around Cthulhu.There is no greater accolade for a writer than for their name to become an adjective. For example, any story that deals with a dystopian future is likely to be called “Orwellian” following the success of the novel 1984 by English writer George Orwell. But within the horror genre, Lovecraft’s work, filled with madness and brooding menace and set in a semi-fictional world of his own creation, gave rise to the use of the term “Lovecraftian” to describe similar works. Despite this accolade, however, Lovecraft achieved almost no commercial success and very little recognition during his lifetime. His output also seems disproportionately small compared to his current influence - he never wrote a full-length novel, and most of his fiction took the form of short stories published in various magazines. It was only after his death that his fiction was regarded as more significant than the bulk of horror fiction written in the 1920s and 1930s.Lovecraft was a complex man, a truly prolific letter writer (it has been estimated that he wrote more than 100,000 letters during his lifetime), a poet, an amateur journalist, a li ungekürzt.

    300 Words to Sound Smarter and Be More Respected , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    This title is laser-focused on making you sound smarter and becoming more respected by using a larger, more sophisticated vocabulary. Simply has systematically excluded words here that did meet this goal - words that are perfectly good in some contexts, but will not make you sound smarter. These include slang and popular-culture words, such as angst, avant-garde, Catch 22, kitsch, red herring, and white elephant. Then eliminated were those words whose meanings are often misconstrued, such as disinterested and complement/compliment. And finally, we eliminated were words that sound awkward in speech, such as accolade, baroque, epiphany, philistine, tete-a-tete, tryst, unrequited, and waft. Included words sound appropriate in conversation, work seamlessly, and will not be interpreted as "show off" words. The final test was that the words had to be those that people nodded slightly at when heard, because they enhance meaning and do not elicit any slight grimaces. We worked hard to eliminate those grimace words! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deaver Brown. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/smag/000127/bk_smag_000127_sample.mp3.
