Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min

In this moving account, Peter Korn explores the nature and rewards of creative practice. We follow his search for meaning as an Ivy-educated child of the middle class who finds employment as a novice carpenter on Nantucket, transitions to self-employment as a designer and maker of fine furniture, takes a turn at teaching and administration at Colorado's Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and then founds a school in Maine: the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, an internationally respected nonprofit institution. Furniture making practiced as a craft in the 21st century is a decidedly marginal occupation. Yet the view from the periphery can be illuminating. For Korn the challenging work of bringing something new and meaningful into the world through one's own volition - whether in the arts, the kitchen, or the marketplace - is what generates the meaning and fulfillment that so many of us seek. This is not a how-to book in any sense. Korn wants to get at the why of craft in particular and the satisfactions of creative work in general to understand their essential nature. How does the making of objects shape our identities? How do the products of creative work inform society? In short, what does the process of making things reveal to us about ourselves? Korn draws on four decades of hands-on experience to answer these questions eloquently, and often poignantly, in this personal, introspective, and revealing book. ungekürzt. Language: English.

7: The Mickey Mantle Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min

In Peter Golenbock's shocking and revealing first novel, Mickey Mantle tells the hidden story of his life as a baseball hero, and asks for forgiveness from his friends and family. If the revelations in Jim Bouton's Ball Four were the first crack in the Mantle legend, then 7 smashes the myth to reveal the human being within. Best-selling sportswriter Peter Golenbock knew Mickey Mantle, many of Mantle's friends, family members, and teammates. While Mickey was a good person at heart, he had a dark side that went far beyond his well-known alcoholism and infidelities. In this fictional portrait, Mickey, now in heaven, realizes that he's carrying a huge weight on his shoulders, as he did throughout his life. He needs to unburden himself of all the horrible things he did and understand for himself why he did them. He wants to make amends to the people he hurt, especially those dear to him; the fans he ignored and alienated; and the public who made him into a hero. Mickey never felt he deserved the adulation, could never live up to it, and tried his damnedest to prove it to everyone. The fact that he was human made the public love him that much more. This is revealed as a man who lived in fear: fear of failure, of success, of life beyond baseball, and of commitment. His was a life filled with sex, yet devoid of deeper satisfactions. From the alcohol-fueled good times and bad, to the emptiness when the party was finally over, 7 has it all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Smithee.

Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min

In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. A ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness" - the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now. Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries, meditations, personal anecdotes, and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the listener already is - in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking - and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. The deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage listeners to work for peace in the world as they continue to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindful. ungekürzt.

The Plausibility Problem: The Church and Same-Sex Attraction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min

It's all very well to say that the Bible is clear when it talks about homosexuality. But is it realistic? Isn't it unrealistic and unfair to those who struggle with this issue? Doesn't it condemn them to loneliness, a lack of fulfilment and the loss of basic human satisfactions like sex and marriage? Is what the church teaches a plausible way of life? Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction, and yet he is committed to what the Bible says and what the church has always taught about marriage and sex. In this honest book, he shares his pain in dealing with these issues - but, at the same time, shows us that obedience to Jesus is ultimately the only way to experience life to the full. He shows that the Bible's teaching seems unreasonable not because of its difficulties but because of missteps that the church has often taken in its understanding of the Christian life. We have been shaped by the world around us and urgently need to reexamine the values that drive our discipleship. Only by doing this in the light of the Bible can we make sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted to their own sex. We have so often made Jesus' way sound like a bad deal. Only by reclaiming the reality of gospel discipleship can we truly see and appreciate that life in Christ is the best way for any human life to be lived - whomever we are attracted to. About the author: Ed Shaw is the pastor of Emmanuel City Centre in Bristol. He loves his family and friends, church and city, gin and tonic, music and books. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Buddhism for Beginners: A No-Nonsense Approach to Understanding and Practicing Buddhist Philosophy and Zen Teachings to Relieve Stress and Anxiety, and Improve Your Mindfulness Through Meditation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min

Have you the constant feeling that your life is not going in the proper direction? Maybe you are living under a constant veil of depression in your everyday activities, and you are not able to explain why. If you answered yes to these questions, this book is what you need. Buddhism for Beginners is the introductive guide to an ancient and profoundly revered practice that helped millions of people struggling against the multiple issues of their lives. Buddhism is even more popular now than it has been in decades. The reason behind its steady rise is due to the plethora of benefits that this way of life reaps upon those who apply its teachings to their lives. This book introduces you to the historical aspect of Buddhism; also it will explain to you the philosophy of the Buddha, its origins, and the meaning of all of those concepts that you could have heard somewhere but never understood in-depth. In the second part, Buddhism for Beginners focuses on the Zen School of Buddhism; since its enormous popularity in the western world, it is essential knowing the differences between primary school and Zen. Since I believe that the practice is even more important than theory, in the third part of the book, you can learn everything you need about meditation and much practical advice to start your journey into the self-exploration so that you will be able to relieve your everyday struggle with anxiety and stress quickly. At this point, you may be thinking, “Ok, but my life is not a constant struggle, and I'm feeling pleased and balanced.” Although your life is full of satisfactions and you are a balanced person, this book is for you also, because the improvements you can bring to your life by learning new knowledge are always worth the money.. ungekürzt.

The Skeptic's Guide to the Great Books, Hörbuch, Digital, 370min

Daunted by the "great big books" of the Western canon? Looking for the same pleasures, satisfactions, and insights from books that are shorter, more accessible, and less dependent on classical references and difficult language than tomes such as Moby-Dick and Ulysses? The truth is that there are so many works that are just as engaging, just as enjoyable, and - most important - just as insightful about great human themes and ideas as anything you'd encounter on a college-level reading list. These 12 highly rewarding lectures offer you an introduction to 12 works that redefine what great literature is and how it can reveal startling truths about life-all without being such a chore to read. Here you'll discover alternatives to the traditional "great books" - Dead Souls as an alternative to War and Peace, and The Master and Margarita as an alternative to Faust. You'll also encounter books from genres that traditionally fall outside the purview of the Western canon. For example, you'll learn how John le Carré's The Spy Who Came In from the Cold transforms the spy novel into serious literature, and how Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons injects the comic-book format with a startling level of realism. Professor Voth excels at both unpacking the significance of a literary work and instilling excitement for it, be it a novella, a collection of short stories, or a play. If you're new to these works, he will have you running to your nearest bookstore or library to discover what you've been missing. And if you've already encountered some of these books, you'll be eager to revisit them and explore what you may have missed on your first reading. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Grant L. Voth.

Peace Is the Way: Bringing War and Violence to an End, Hörbuch, Digital, 203min

Deepak Chopra's passionate new book, Peace Is the Way, was inspired by a saying from Mahatma Gandhi: "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." In a world where every path to peace has proved futile, the one strategy that hasn't been tried is the way of peace itself. "We must not bring one war to an end, or 30," Chopra tells us, "but the idea of war itself."How can this be done?By facing the truth that war is satisfying, and then substituting new satisfactions so that violence is no longer appealing. "War has become a habit. We reach for it the way a chain smoker reaches for a cigarette, promising to quit but somehow never kicking the habit." But Chopra tells us that peace has its own power, and our task now is to direct that power and multiply it one person at a time.Behind the numbing headlines of violence running out of control, there are unmistakable signs of a change; Chopra believes that a majority of people are ready to see an end to war. "Right now 23 million soldiers serve in armies around the world. Can't we find 10 times that number who will dedicate themselves to peace? A hundred times?"Peace Is the Way challenges each of us to take the next leap in personal evolution. "You aren't asked to be a saint, or to give up any belief. You are only asked to stop reacting out of fear, to change your allegiance from violence to peace." In a practical seven-step program, Chopra shows the reader how to become a true peacemaker. "Violence may be innate in human nature, but so is its opposite: love. The next stage of humanity, the leap which we are poised to take, will be guided by the force of that love." This is more than a hope or an aspiration. It is a new way of being in the world, giving each individual the power to end war in our time. Language: English. Narrator: Deepak Chopra, MD.
