    Ten Years to Midnight: Four Urgent Global Crises and Their Strategic Solutions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
    “Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” (Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International)In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PricewaterhouseCoopers, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities — stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Populism as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises — but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Maimonides: The Life and World of One of Civilization's Greatest Minds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1199min
    This first definitive biography of Moses Maimonides, one of the most influential intellects in all of human history, illuminates his life as a philosopher, physician, and lawgiver.Recalling such best sellers as David McCullough's John Adams and Walter Isaacson's Einstein, Maimonides is a biography on a grand scale, brilliantly explicating one man's life against the background of his time.As a physician, Maimonides is associated with Hippocrates as a founder of modern medicine; his influence in philosophy is equal to that of Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, and Kant; in religion, he is as significant as Moses, Martin Luther, and Saint Augustine; and as a lawgiver, he has been recognized by the United States Congress as one of the greatest alongside Hammurabi and Thomas Jefferson.Now, in a dazzling work of scholarship, Joel Kraemer tells the complete story of Maimonides's rich life. Maimonides is at once a portrait of a great historical figure and an excursion into the Mediterranean world of the 12th century. Joel Kraemer draws on a wealth of original sources to re-create a remarkable period in history when Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions clashed and mingled in a setting alive with intense intellectual exchange and religious conflict. Born in Muslim-ruled Spain in 1135, Moses Maimonides was deeply conversant with Arabic philosophy and literature. By the time he was thirty, he was known for his seminal works on the Jewish practices and law. In Egypt, his training as a physician earned him a place in the entourage of the great Sultan Saladin, and his books earned him respect and influenced generations of Christian, Muslim and Jewish thinkers. ungekürzt.

    Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis (eBook, ePUB)
    Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis is a state-of-the-art overview of the problem of boundary violations in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. This new edition is a major overhaul of the seminal first edition, published 20 years ago, and addresses topics with which every psychoanalyst, therapist, resident, and training director should be conversant. Penned by one of the foremost experts on psychoanalysis, the book is both broad and thorough in scope, presenting models of prevention to help readers avoid boundary problems in their practices and providing expert advice on institutional responses to complaints and rumors. In addition, the impact of boundary violations on patients is examined, a long-neglected and overdue exploration that encourages increased institutional responsiveness to victims' needs. The book was designed to inform and forearm, with chapters and features that psychoanalysts and therapists will find eminently useful: ¿ The fear that the patient may commit suicide and how that fear may play a role in the development of boundary violations warrants a separate chapter therapists will find illuminating.¿ Boundaries in cyberspace, a topic only recently pertinent, is explored in depth in a chapter that provides guidance on how the therapeutic frame has been broadened by the impact of texting, email, googling, and social media.¿ Detailed guidelines on how to handle complaints are included, information that will prepare organizations to respond both strategically and compassionately to these complex situations.¿ Examples and cases are based on those the author has encountered over 30 years of evaluating, treating, and consulting and reflect the diversity of clinical practice, involving both male and female violators as well as victims and their families.¿ Boundary violations do not always include a sexual relationship, and the types of boundary violations discussed include nonsexual, supervisory, and post-termination. Every chapter has been updated to include new data and current understanding, addressing the most critically important topics in a rigorous, yet humane manner. Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis is the most authoritative resource on the subject, and will help the reader manage boundaries across a variety of therapeutic contexts.

    Conversational Hebrew Quick and Easy: The Most Innovative and Revolutionary Technique to Learn the Hebrew Language , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
    Have you always wanted to learn how to speak Hebrew but simply didn't have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. Here is one of the most advanced and revolutionary methods that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the 27 most common languages in the world and distilling from them the 350 words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These 350 words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work - discoveries that are detailed further in this book - Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant - now. If you want to learn complicated grammar rules, or the non-Romanized alphabet of a foreign language, or to speak perfectly proper and precise Hebrew, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Israel, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the present tense. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. Therefore, unlike other courses, all words in this program are taught in English transliteration, without having to learn the complex Hebrew alphabet. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    The Dreyfus Affair: The History and Legacy of France's Most Notorious Antisemitic Political Scandal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    Sometime in 1889, a woman named Madame Marie Bastian was recruited as an agent of the secretive “Statistical Section”, an espionage and counter-intelligence agency attached to the military intelligence office of the French General Staff. Mme. Bastian was a cleaner employed by the German Embassy in Paris. Thanks to her Romany origins, she was somewhat acquainted with Germany and marginally conversant in the German language. She enjoyed complete and unrestricted access to the private residences of many important German diplomats and functionaries, and as she gathered up the torn-up documents in the various wastepaper baskets, she routinely passed them on to a handler attached to the Statistical Section.In September 1890, among a pile of torn-up documents delivered by Mme. Bastian was found a note handwritten in French which, when pieced together, proved to be a list of French military secrets handed over to the Germans by an unknown French officer of the General Staff. This discovery, which proved the existence of a traitor in the department, triggered a ferment in the corridors of the Conseil Supérieur de la Guerre, and the hunt was on for the culprit.By a process of elimination, officers of the military intelligence were able to narrow down a list of probable traitors, among whom was a young Jewish staff officer Captain Alfred Dreyfus who was immediately earmarked as the chief suspect. Dreyfus’ handwriting was compared to that on the bordereau and although the various handwriting experts who conducted the comparison failed to reach a common consensus, it was nonetheless judged that Dreyfus was indeed the culprit. In December 1894, Dreyfus was court-martialed, convicted, and sentenced to a term of life in prison. On January 5, 1895, in a formal parade, Captain Dreyfus was stripped of his rank, his sword was broken over the knee of a sergeant, and he was shipped overseas to the penal colony of Devil’s Island on the coast of French Guiana.p ungekürzt.

    Emotional Intelligence: Improve Your Social Skills and Emotional Agility for a Better Life, Success at Work and Happier Relationships. Discover Why It Can Matter More Than IQ (EQ 2.0) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 217min
    If you want to know yourself more deeply and know how to use emotional intelligence to live a happy life and fulfilled, then keep reading... The subject of emotional intelligence has been the source of intellectual debate for some time. Over time, many have raised the question of why people act the way they do emotionally. Some have approached this argument from the standpoint of two schools of reason - the nature versus nurture argument.The proponent of the nature argument traces human behavior to extra-natural factors. This branch of behavioral psychology believes that people are created to act in a certain way and remain the same for the rest of their life. Thus, there is little hope in changing one's emotional behavior.The second school believes that human behavior evolves over a period of time depending on our environment. The proponents of this line of reasoning believe that human beings are a product of their environment. Thus, a person’s behavior is the sum total of the environments he has been exposed to throughout his life. Whatever school you align with, what is constant is the fact that there is a need to understand why we act the way we do emotionally. We also need to know how our emotional behavior impacts our relationship. Finally, if there is a defect in the way we act emotionally, it would be necessary to learn how to curtail these excesses. The knowledge of the above is what you will have accomplished after listening to this book.This book is structured in a chronological format so that you don’t need to be conversant with emotional intelligence terms to have a well-rounded understanding of the concepts in the book. You will be introduced to the meaning of EQ and led through the important concepts associated with emotional intelligence. Below is a brief exposition into the concepts discussed in this book:Meaning of emotional intelligenceEmotional intelligence in the workplace ungekürzt.
