    When Likes Aren't Enough: A Crash Course in the Science of Happiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    When a group of researchers asked young adults around the globe what their number one priority was in life, the top answer was happiness. Not success, fame, money, looks or love...but happiness. For a rising generation of young people raised as digital natives in a fast-paced, ultra-connected world, authentic happiness still seems just out of reach. While social media often shows well-lit selfies and flawless digital personas, today's 16- to 25-year-olds are struggling to find real meaning, connection, and satisfaction right alongside their overburdened parents.  When Likes Aren't Enough tackles the ever-popular subject of happiness and well-being but reframes it for a younger listener struggling with Instagram envy and exam pressures, university and job rejections and overprotective parents. Professor of positive psychology Dr Tim Bono distils his students' most popular course on the science of happiness into creative, often counterintuitive strategies for millennials and future generations to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.  Filled with exciting research, practical exercises, honest advice and quotes from young adults themselves, When Likes Aren't Enough is a master class for a generation looking for science-based, real-world coping methods to feel just a little bit happier every day.  PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Coming From Cumberland (eBook, ePUB)
    Coming from Cumberland reframes the story of a child being born at home and living off- the-grid deep in a back-country woods in Cumberland County, Tennessee in the early1940's. The first years of her life have shown her nothing about a life outside of the homestead. Her childhood is even more complicated by being the oldest daughter in a sometimes difficult and challenging family. Her life grows and changes as the family emigrates to Ohio. Nothing has prepared her for meeting the town folks in an Ohio neighborhood and beginning school soon after the move. She presents her childhood with some incidents of colorful humor. The story progresses to her marrying young and working through a college education while raising her family. She fiercely comes of age in the 1970's women's movement. If you're rooting for the author, despite a rough road with some challenges along the way, she does find her way to a great family life of travel, gratitude and peaceful living in a suburban adult lifestyle.

    One Friday in April
    As the sun lowered in the sky one Friday afternoon in April 2006, acclaimed author Donald Antrim found himself on the roof of his Brooklyn apartment building, afraid for his life. In this moving memoir, Antrim vividly recounts what led him to the roof and what happened after he came back down: two hospitalisations, weeks of fruitless clinical trials, the terror of submitting to ECT-and the saving call from David Foster Wallace that convinced him to try it-as well as years of fitful recovery and setback. One Friday in April reframes suicide-whether in thought or action-as an illness in its own right, a unique consequence of trauma and personal isolation, rather than the choice of a depressed person. A necessary companion to William Styron's classic Darkness Visible, this profound, insightful work sheds light on the tragedy and mystery of suicide, offering solace that may save lives. Named one of the Most Anticipated of Books of 2021 by The Los Angeles Times, Literary Hub and The Millions.

    Motherwhelmed: Challenging Norms, Untangling Truths, and Restoring Our Worth to the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    Today’s mothers are struggling, though it's not for the reasons most moms tend to think. We’ve been conditioned to believe our inadequacy is the reason we can’t seem to “keep up” or enjoy mothering more, but nothing could be further from the truth.We aren’t failing as mothers. We’re mothering within a culture that is misleading and inadequately supporting us. Motherwhelmed is a deep, yet lighthearted exploration of the messy frontier of modern-day motherhood we’re all struggling to navigate.With compassion, realness, and rich storytelling, Beth Berry:Illuminates the mind-sets and narratives keeping us feeling overwhelmed, disempowered, anxious, isolated, and riddled with self-doubtProvides the perspectives and tools needed for mothers to rewrite their stories and reclaim a sense of wholenessShares from her 25 years as an idealistic, passionate, all-in mother of four daughtersReminds us of our worthiness and reframes our importanceThis is not a book about parenting. It’s a book about mothers, our greatness, and how important it is that we thrive. It’s about untangling ourselves from the stories that are keeping us trapped and deconstructing those we’ve outgrown. It’s about daring the lives we’re here to live and, thereby, giving our children permission to do the same.Until we begin to organize our lives around not only our children’s worthiness but also our own, mothers everywhere will continue to bear the brunt of cultural pain and dysfunction. This matters because we cannot be the changemakers we’re meant to be while so heavily burdened. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Beth Berry.

    There's an Angel in My Computer: A Journal of Spiritual Emergence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
    This is the story of one woman's quest for a divine vision and the unexpected ways in which her prayers were answered. It is an introduction as well as an advanced exploration of the dance between spirit and soul, shared in a clever, heartwarming, and humorous way.When Carol finds her consciousness shifting during the months of healing following a cerebral hemorrhage (or what she calls "the brain blitz") in the left hemisphere of her brain, it concerns her, terrifies her, and also intrigues her. That is when she discovers unknown abilities emerging and begins to hear the voice of her own higher self in the form of a whimsical, mischievous, angel named Rashana. It is through this communication between her spirit and soul that Carol reinvents herself and reframes the reality in which she lives. In this wise and witty dialogue that began at her computer's keyboard, we witness the development of a relationship that reveals many of the answers we all search for. Where we would ordinarily be limited by our "still, small voice", Rashana rushes through the opened doorway of Carol's mind with feathers and sparkle-dust flying. Her blue, wrinkled "angel dress" completes the picture, ensuring she appears just as Carol would expect - being an angel of Creative Communication, of course!A book that explores both path and purpose and shows us a space inside all of us, where the soul can touch the heart of God.Carol Gino offers her personal journey with amazing honesty and hope. ungekürzt.

    Revolution in Higher Education: How a Small Band of Innovators Will Make College Accessible and Affordable , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 746min
    Colleges and universities have become increasingly costly and - except for a handful of highly selective, elite institutions - unresponsive to 21st century needs. But for the past few years, technology-fueled innovation has begun to transform higher education, introducing new ways to disseminate knowledge and better ways to learn - all at lower cost. In this impassioned account, Richard DeMillo tells the behind-the-scenes story of these pioneering efforts and offers a road map for transforming higher education. Building on his earlier book, Abelard to Apple, DeMillo argues that the current system of higher education is clearly unsustainable. Colleges and universities are in financial crises. Tuition continues to rise inexorably. Graduates of reputable schools often fail to learn basic skills, and many cannot find suitable jobs. Meanwhile, student loan default rates have soared, while the elite Ivy and near-Ivy schools seem remote and irrelevant. Where are the revolutionaries who can save higher education? DeMillo's heroes are a small band of innovators who are bringing the revolution in technology to colleges and universities. DeMillo chronicles, among other things, the invention of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) by professors at Stanford and MIT; Salman Khan's Khan Academy; the use of technology by struggling historically black colleges and universities to make learning more accessible; and the latest research on learning and the brain. He describes the revolution's goals and the entrenched hierarchical system it aims to overthrow, and he reframes the nature of the contract between society and its universities. The new institutions of a transformed higher education promise to demonstrate not only that education has value, but also that it has values: virtues for the common good. ungekürzt.

    Manage Your Mindset: Maximize Your Power of Personal Choice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min
    As the foremost researcher in the area of correlating mindset with a variety of organizational learning factors, having performed a survey validation study of the Mindset Works, Inc. What's My School Mindset? Survey and the Project for Educational Research That Scales (PERTS) academic mindset survey, the author has discovered links between the philosophical positions one holds and the theory of mind that describes what makes humans different from animals. This book proposes that the ability to recognize and respond to the differences between what we "see" and others "see" is the key reason for individuals, groups, and organizations to succeed or to fail. How we perceive differences and respond to them changes the way our brain develops and how our systems are designed. This book provides strategies for supporting continuous development and growth in individuals, in group dynamics, and in system/organizational development using the most current understanding and propositions of theories of mind. Our theories of physics are expanding through Newtonian, classical, and on to quantum. Our technologies are expanding from simple tools to industrialization to digital information systems and on to holographic imagery and virtual realities. Biological understandings have grown from magical beliefs about life through static views of fixed DNA to cloning and the potential to regenerate organs and extend life. Our world is in need of an update on the social transformations occurring in human understanding that apply to addressing key issues of our day. This book revisits the concepts discussed in mindset theory and reframes it with a larger, more inclusive potential for understanding our world that empowers our ability for personal choice to improve our lives. ungekürzt.
