  Overthinking: How to Declutter Your Home and Your Mind to Have Success in Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min

  People are increasingly frustrated and unhappy nowadays, often unable to cope with the smallest difficulties of everyday life. The diagnosed cases of depression, anxiety disorders and obesity are more and more numerous, and the consumption of psychotropic drugs is increasing dramatically among adults as well as among children. In a society where everything is now offered and every material need is easily met, paradoxically, that inner strength and that profound sense of existence that are a real lifeline for man are missing.The author shows us how to recover them by developing a "free mind", that is, that mental structure that allows us to be more elastic and softer in the interactions with ourselves, with others and with reality, the three fundamental spheres around which the life of each of us is structured. It is a matter of obtaining an "unstable equilibrium" that allows us to adapt functionally to the context that surrounds us. But in order to do this one must be willing to get involved and to recognize the fundamental importance of mental processes in every area of daily life.This audiobook aims to be a small but concrete help to live in the best possible way, learning to exploit the full potential of our mind to face the challenges of life and feel so satisfied, enjoying ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. ungekürzt.

  It’s Time: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life, Change The World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min

  Homo sapiens have grown and evolved since first gracing the planet around 300,000 years ago. During that time, we have learned much about ourselves and the universe. But today we face a stark choice, and it is what we have learned about the nature of reality that is bringing this choice into sharper focus. Do we continue to grow and evolve, thereby transforming human life on Earth? Or do we die out, simply because we do not choose to accept who we really are?Paradoxically, the key to unlocking an expansive and positive future is the realization that time is an illusion. What follows from this notion is that our experience of physical reality is a reflective projection of consciousness, within consciousness itself.  This book is a presentation of a new model of the world based on these two ideas. Through this model, we can find the confidence to face up to the big questions of life.  What do we need to do to live the life that we want to live? What is the meaning of human life? What happens after death? What is the cause, meaning, or purpose of suffering? What is the nature of God, or Source, or Spirit? Are we alone in the universe? What do we need to do to heal humanity and the planet?    ungekürzt.

  Freedom and Necessity: St. Augustine's Teaching on Divine Power and Human Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min

  Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), bishop of Hippo Regius (the modern Annaba in Algeria), is considered one of the outstanding thinkers in Western Christian civilization, Catholic and Protestant alike. Particularly influential has been his pessimistic doctrine of divine predestination, which holds that only a small proportion of humanity has been selected by God for salvation, while the overwhelming majority, including all unbaptized persons, are damned. Yet, paradoxically, Augustine's exposition of the Eucharistic unity of the elect in the Body of Christ, his Christology, and his emphasis on love as the principal mark of the Godhead have provided a pattern for Christian devotion and spirituality down through the ages. This book seeks to explain this paradox in Augustine's theology by tracing how these different emphases arose in his thought, and speculating as to why he endorsed, in the end, his theology of predestination. The book is intended not only for students of theology and church history, but even more for readers attracted to Christian doctrine. Written in straightforward language, it supplies adequate references to original sources for those wishing to further pursue the subject. The author, a historian turned theologian, has studied Augustine for more than 60 years and seeks neither to extenuate nor to condemn him, but to depict his thought. His book will prove fruitful for all who engage it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mitch Leopard. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/001303/bk_acx0_001303_sample.mp3.

  Letter to My Daughter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 152min

  For a world of devoted readers, a much-awaited new volume of absorbing stories and inspirational wisdom from one of our best-loved writers. Dedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to My Daughter reveals Maya Angelou's path to living well and living a life with meaning. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight. Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son. Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a lifelong endeavor, or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice, Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family. Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches; it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maya Angelou.

  The Science of Discworld: Revised Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 825min

  In the 'fantasy' universe of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, everything runs on magic and common sense. The world is flat and million-to-one chances happen nine times out of ten. Our world seems different - it runs on rules, often rather strange ones. Science is our way of finding out what those rules are. The appeal of Discworld is that it mostly makes sense, in a way that particle physics does not. The Science of Discworld uses the magic of Discworld to illuminate the scientific rules that govern our world. When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic. Roundworld is, of course, our own universe. With us inside it(eventually). Guided (if that's the word) by the wizards, we follow its story from the primal singularity of the Big Bang to the Internet and beyond. We discover how puny and insignificant individual lives are against a cosmic backdrop of creation and disaster. Yet, paradoxically, we see how the richness of a universe based on rules has led to a complex world and at least one species that tried to get a grip on what was going on. . . ungekürzt.

  American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 657min

  From the first shots fired at Lexington to the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the negotiations for the Louisiana Purchase, Joseph J. Ellis guides us through the decisive issues of the nation's founding and illuminates the emerging philosophies, shifting alliances, and personal and political foibles of our now iconic leaders: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, and Adams. He casts an incisive eye on the founders' achievements, arguing that the American Revolution was, paradoxically, an evolution, and that part of what made it so extraordinary was the gradual pace at which it occurred. He explains how the idea of a strong federal government was eventually embraced by the American people and details the emergence of the two-party system, which stands as the founders' most enduring legacy. Ellis is equally incisive about their failures, and he makes clear how their inability to abolish slavery and to reach a just settlement with the Native Americans has played an equally important role in shaping our national character. With eloquence and insight, Ellis strips the mythic veneer of the revolutionary generation to reveal men both human and inspired, possessed of both brilliance and blindness. American Creation is an audiobook that delineates an era of flawed greatness, at a time when understanding our origins is more important than ever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John H.

  Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min

  Entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow (Wired, Fast Company, The New Yorker, and cofounder of Contently) analyzes the lives of people and companies that do incredible things in an implausibly short time. How do some startups go from zero to billions in mere months? How did Alexander the Great, YouTube tycoon Michelle Phan, and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon climb to the top in less time than it takes most of us to get a promotion? What do high-growth businesses, world-class heart surgeons, and underdog marketers do in common to beat the norm? One way or another, they do it like computer hackers. They employ what psychologists call "lateral thinking": rethinking convention and breaking "rules" that aren't rules. These are not shortcuts, which produce often dubious short-term gains, but ethical "smartcuts" that eliminate unnecessary effort and yield sustainable momentum. In Smartcuts, Snow shatters common wisdom about success, revealing how conventions like "paying dues" prevent progress, why kids shouldn't learn times tables, and how, paradoxically, it's easier to build a huge business than a small one. From SpaceX to The Cuban Revolution, from Ferrari to Skrillex, Smartcuts is a narrative adventure that busts old myths about success and shows how innovators and icons do the incredible by working smarter - and how perhaps the rest of us can, too. ungekürzt.

  The Red Caddy: Into the Unknown with Edward Abbey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min

  A passionate advocate for preserving wilderness and fighting the bureaucratic and business forces that would destroy it, Edward Abbey (1927-1989) wrote fierce, polemical books such as Desert Solitaire and The Monkey Wrench Gang that continue to inspire environmental activists. In this eloquent memoir, his friend and fellow desert rat Charles Bowden reflects on Abbey the man and the writer, offering up thought-provoking, contrarian views of the writing life, literary reputations, and the perverse need of critics to sum up “what he really meant and whether any of it was truly up to snuff.”  The Red Caddy is the first literary biography of Abbey in a generation. Refusing to turn him into a desert guru, Bowden instead recalls the wild man in a red Cadillac convertible for whom liberty was life. He describes how Desert Solitaire paradoxically “launched thousands of maniacs into the empty ground” that Abbey wanted to protect, while sealing his literary reputation and overshadowing the novels that Abbey considered his best books. Bowden also skewers the cottage industry that has grown up around Abbey’s writing, smoothing off its rougher (racist, sexist) edges while seeking “anecdotes, little intimacies...pieces of the True Beer Can or True Old Pickup Truck.” Asserting that the real essence of Abbey will always remain unknown and unknowable, The Red Caddy still catches gleams of “the fire that from time to time causes a life to become a conflagration.”   ungekürzt.
