Upstairs at the White House: My Life with the First Ladies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 806min
A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at life on Pennsylvania Avenue with America's first families, by the man who spent nearly three decades in their midst. J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - and coordinated its daily life - at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings, funerals, gardens, playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home. For 28 years, first as assistant to the chief usher, then as chief usher, he witnessed national crises and triumphs, and interacted daily with six consecutive presidents and first ladies, their parents, children and grandchildren, and houseguests - including friends, relatives, and heads of state. In Upstairs at the White House, West offers an absorbing and novel glimpse at America's first families, from the Roosevelts to the Kennedys and the Nixons. Alive with anecdotes ranging from the quotidian (Lyndon B. Johnson's showerheads) to the tragic (the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination), West's audiobook is an enlightening and rich account of the American history that took place just behind the Palladian doors of the North Portico. ungekürzt.

Stoicism: How the Philosophy of the Stoics Works, Understanding and Practicing Stoicism, Learn the Art of Happiness and How to Manage Your Emotions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min
What is Stoicism? Stoicism is called the philosophical doctrine that practiced mastery of the passions that disturb life using virtue and reason; as such, its purpose was to achieve happiness and wisdom regardless of comfort, material goods, and fortune. Hence, it also designates a certain moral attitude related to strength and equanimity in character.The ideal of the Stoics was to achieve imperturbability and some degree of independence from the outside world. Although it was a fundamentally ethical doctrine, it also had its own logical and physical conceptions. It was influenced by cynics and Heraclitus. The Stoic school was founded by Zenón de Citio around 301 BC in Athens. They used to meet in a portico of the city, from which it derived its name, which comes from the Greek (Stoikós), derived from στοά (stoá), which means "porch". It was one of the most influential Hellenic philosophical schools. Its boom period is recorded between the third century BC and second century AD. Its weakening coincided with the rise of Christianity. In the Stoic doctrine, three phases are recognized: a first, headed by Zeno and Chrysippus, called ancient Stoicism; the second, characterized by the contributions of Panecio and Posidonio, is known as middle Stoicism, and finally, there is new Stoicism, represented by figures such as Seneca , Epícteto, and Marco Aurelio. ungekürzt.
