Anger is the root of much hate and chaos in our society. Often, we can tie all negative societal experiences back to anger, ranging from wars to hate crimes and even day-to-day acts of unkindness toward each other on a personal level. With how much destruction anger has caused, it is easy to think that anger is a “bad” thing and to believe that we need to eradicate it entirely in order to experience happy, peaceful lives. This couldn’t be further from the truth.Anger is a natural emotion, though how we express it is not always natural. Often, as children, we are taught that anger is bad, and so, we are forced to try to suppress it, hide it, or otherwise prevent it from surfacing.As we try to hide our own, we are also exposed to the toxic anger of adults whose own attempts at suppressing their anger are starting to fail. As a result, we experience massive imbalances in our ability to experience and express anger. The truth is, it doesn’t have to be this way.You can learn how to navigate anger and all of the emotions that come with it, including stress and anxiety so that you can begin to experience healthy emotional expression. The key to doing this is through learning about and increasing your emotional intelligence.Emotional intelligence offers you the ability to see your anger for what it is, heal the excess anger you carry, and navigate future bouts of anger more peacefully. Truthfully, it is the missing key that our society desperately needs when it comes to dealing with anger!In Anger Management: Reduce Anger, Stress, Anxiety. A How-to Guide on Developing Emotional Intelligence, we are going to explore everything you need to know in order to address and manage anger in a more emotionally intelligent manner. From helping you discover what anger is and how it affects you to showing you how to get a handle on your anger, we are going to cover everything.

Bill Gates’ Rules for Success: How to Become Unstoppable in Business and Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
The face of Microsoft and a man now worth $92.3 billion, Bill Gates has a lot to teach us about hard work, success, kindness, unkindness, ruthlessness, tenacity, intelligence, and philanthropy - more so than might be apparent from looking at the easygoing, oft-smiling Gates. For under that geeky and very unintimidating exterior lies a cunning businessman, a cutthroat competitor, and an arrogant genius set on doing anything for success. Now, while Apple may be ahead of Microsoft in valuation and popularity, and even though Windows phones aren't winning any Global Mobile Awards in the “Best Device” category, Gates has left quite an impression on the tech world and consumers alike - even for those who are diehard iOS or Android users, the types who favor Macs over PCs, and the now more numerous quantities of people who favor Chrome or Firefox over the now meme-worthy Internet Explorer. So, why write this? Bill Gates hasn't been the CEO of Microsoft for years and the chairman for more than four. He is very active in philanthropy, but at this point, he has largely embraced retirement over working. And who can blame the guy? He could have retired years ago, but he chose to keep working on fortifying his technological empire as well as devoting more time to charity work. Again, if anyone deserves full retirement, it is Bill Gates. But now that Gates has taken a lesser role and has transitioned away from the spotlight, it's as good a time as any to commemorate all that he has accomplished, and what lessons he can teach us about success and a life well lived. Now is as good a time as any to try and understand how a geeky kid (said with the utmost respect) from Seattle became such an ambitious and bold revolutionary in the tech world. I will do so by pointing out a few facets that I think are the most important parts of Gates' career and personality. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Theis.

Illusionary
The most wanted rebel returns in Zoraida Córdova's gripping conclusion to the Hollow Crown duology. For years, she was wielded as a weapon. Now it's her time to fight back. Reeling from betrayal at the hands of the Whispers, Renata has few options and fewer allies. Reluctantly, she agrees to join forces with Prince Castian, her most infuriating and intriguing enemy. Their goals: find the fabled Knife of Memory, kill the ruthless King Fernando, and bring peace to the nation. Together, Renata and Castian have a chance to save everything, if only they can set aside their complex and intense feelings for each other. Renata's heart may still beat for Dez, but as the danger of their quest increases, so does her attraction to Castian. With the king's forces on their heels at every turn, there is little room for mistakes. A dark, twisted history lies behind the elusive weapon, and the fate of the kingdom is held in the balance. Still, the greatest danger is within Renata - the Gray, her fortress of stolen memories, has begun to crumble, threatening her grip on reality. She'll have to control her magics, her mind, and her heart to unlock her power and protect the Moria people once and for all. In this thrilling conclusion to the Hollow Crown duology, Zoraida Córdova weaves an epic finale brimming with adventure, romance, and justice.
