    Until: Or Why Spend 10,000 Hours with a Comatose Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    An unexpected twist in a new chapter doesn’t mean your story is finished.There is so much pressure to get rid of anything that isn’t easy, to let go of anything that hurts, to throw away what doesn’t meet our needs right now, to give up, to quit, to just walk away when things don’t work out how - and when - we want.And that’s the problem. Getting rid and letting go and throwing away and giving up and quitting and walking away are almost always a tragic mistake. Better is to keep, to hang on, to stick with it, to endure, to stay. Figure out what is wrong and what can be done, what must be done, to fix it, then do what it takes. Do it until. That’s almost always the right thing to do.Examples in this short audiobook include a bicycle, a vein of gold, world-class knitters, and much to my surprise, my mother, who spent more than 10,000 hours taking care of my dad following his strokes.There are too many broken hearts, broken homes, broken lives, simply because too often, we aren’t willing to persevere. We aren’t willing to keep our commitments. Whether it’s pride or ignorance or laziness or arrogance, we so often are not willing to overcome difficulties that are common to us all.Sometimes, you may have to step away, to let go, but be slow to do so. Chances are your fairy tale isn’t irreparably broken. An unexpected twist in a new chapter doesn’t mean your story is finished.This is a short work, as all Cent Deux Books are. But listen to it a few times, consider it, divine what those words are telling you in your situation right now and then decide what they are worth and what you can do. Then do it. Do it until. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chantelle Theocharidis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/146269/bk_acx0_146269_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    In this powerful and uplifting novel, a mother and her daughter-in-law bravely leave their troubled marriages and face the challenge of starting over.When Nichole discovers that her husband, Jake, has been unfaithful, the illusion of her perfect life is indelibly shattered. While juggling her young son, a new job, and volunteer work, Nichole meets Rocco, who is the opposite of Jake in nearly every way. Though blunt-spoken and rough around the edges, Rocco proves to be a dedicated father and thoughtful friend. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Jake wagers everything on winning Nichole back - including their son Owen's happiness. Somehow, Nichole must find the courage to defy her fears and follow her heart, with far-reaching consequences for them all. Leanne has quietly ignored her husband's cheating for decades but is jolted into action by the echo of Nichole's all-too-familiar crisis. While volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language, Leanne meets Nikolai, a charming, talented baker from Ukraine. Resolved to avoid the heartache and complications of romantic entanglements, Leanne nonetheless finds it difficult to resist Nikolai's effusive overtures - until an unexpected tragedy tests the very fabric of her commitments. An inspiring novel of friendship, reinvention, and hope, A Girl's Guide to Moving On affirms the ability of every woman to forge a new path, believe in love, and fearlessly find happiness. Praise for A Girl’s Guide to Moving On“Macomber is a master at pulling heartstrings, and readers will delight in this heartwarming story of friendship, love, and second chances.

    Aid on the Edge of Chaos: Rethinking International Cooperation in a Complex World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1075min
    It is widely recognised that the foreign aid system - which today involves every country in the world - is in need of drastic change. But there are conflicting opinions as to what is needed. Some call for dramatic increases in resources, to meet long-overdue commitments, and to scale up what is already being done around the world. Others point to the flaws in aid, and bang the drum for cutting it altogether - and argue that the fate of poor and vulnerable people be best placed in the hands of markets and the private sector. Meanwhile, growing numbers are suggesting that what is most needed is the creative, innovative transformation of how aid works. Aid on the Edge of Chaos is firmly in the third of these camps. In this ground-breaking book, Ben Ramalingam shows that the linear, mechanistic models and assumptions on which foreign aid is built would be more at home in early-20th-century factory floors than in the dynamic, complex world we face today. All around us, we can see the costs and limitations of dealing economies and societies as if they are analogous to machines. The reality is that such social systems have far more in common with ecosystems: They are complex, dynamic, diverse, and unpredictable. Many thinkers and practitioners in science, economics, business, and public policy have started to embrace more "ecologically literate" approaches to guide both thinking and action, informed by ideas from the "new science" of complex adaptive systems. Inspired by these efforts, there is an emerging network of aid practitioners, researchers, and policy makers who are experimenting with complexity-informed responses to development and humanitarian challenges. This book showcases the insights, experiences, and often remarkable results from these efforts. From transforming approaches to child malnutrition, to rethinking processes of economic growth, from building peace to combating desertification, from rural Vietnam to urban Kenya, Ai ungekürzt.

    Saint Badass: Personal Transcendence in Tucker Max Hell , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
    My life was the result of my crazy childhood. With these words began an extraordinary correspondence between Roy Tester, a double-murderer serving a life sentence in the notorious Arkansas prison, Tucker Maximum Security Prison, and Doug Carnine, a meditation teacher and lay Buddhist minister on the other side of the country. In the letters that followed - more than 700 over seven years - these two men, along with three other prisoners at Tucker Max, developed a profound spiritual partnership that changed all of their lives. Saint Badass: Personal Transcendence in Tucker Max Hell tells the inspiring story of these unlikely friends in their own words and follows their journey as they rediscover their humanity in one of the most inhuman places on Earth. Buddhist synopsis: Saint Badass: Personal Transcendence in Tucker Max Hell is a memoir about bringing heaven down to hell. Drawing on an exchange of letters, Doug Carnine tells the story of his partnership with three murderers and an alleged rapist, about Buddhism and its practices of mindfulness and kindness, and how by adopting these practices, the prisoners transformed their lives. All four prisoners were housed in Tucker, Arkansas, at the notorious maximum-security prison featured in the Robert Redford movie, Brubaker. In their letters to Carnine, and sometimes to one another, the prisoners describe their unrelentingly abusive childhoods, their lives of violence and crime, their eventual submission to prison life, and their growing commitments to meditation and kindness. A suspenseful and moving drama unfolds as these prisoners join in partnership and experience glimpses of internal freedom. Each prisoner faces new crises in prison, including disabling illness, a brain tumor, a prison gang attack, family betrayal, medical abuse, and harsh punishments for mild offenses. Yet, through mindfulness and the blessings of kindness, each pr ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Malcom Ryker.

    Relationship Dynamics: The Revolution in Personal Evolution: EVOLVE , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
    Have you ever found yourself wishing that life came with an instruction manual? You know - the kind of "how-to guide" - that gives you information that solves real problems: problems you encounter each day and challenges we all face in the world today? Your wish has come true. Relationship Dynamics is exactly that handbook you've hoped for, an instruction book you need to navigate your life and create healthier relationship dynamics. As the first book in the revolutionary EVOLVE series, Relationship Dynamics looks at how we create and sustain healthy relationships using essential principles applied from Permaculture, including observation, resilience, and sustainability. In Relationship Dynamics, you will learn how to develop deeper intimacy in all relationships, how to sustain relationships by following the six steps to conflict resolution and establishing healthy boundaries, the importance of commitments, as well as how to identify and navigate emotional drama and dysfunction with others. EVOLVE is a series of books about the discovery of the meaning of life and how we can thrive as responsible adults in a world of extreme change. With seven billion people on this planet and growing, the question we now face is: How can we share this planet together and thrive? How do we live in harmony with each other, with the earth, and with all plant and animal life on this planet? We must all do our part to make human evolution a conscious affair, one in which we each raise our awareness and take personal responsibility for living together in harmony and peace. "If ever there was a time in human history, now is the time we must come together on this planet to form deeper bonds and connections in our relationships to insure our survival." We have the awareness to make our world a utopia, but only if we step up to the challenge and EVOLVE. Start your personal evolution today with Relationship Dynamics! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min
    In this must-listen book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and businesspeople - both seasoned and new - that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit". Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur "genius" Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial, such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments. Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not genius but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own "character lab" and set out to test her theory. Here, she takes listeners into the field to visit teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers - from J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to the cartoon editor of The New Yorker to Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down and how that - not talent or luck - makes all the difference.

    All Things Proceed: A Regnum Christi Essay on Recognition and Communion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    RC Essays are extended, in-depth reflections on particular aspects of life as a Regnum Christi member. An essay may develop the nature of a virtue, showing what that virtue might look like when lived out in harmony with the Regnum Christi identity and mission. An essay may explore the challenges of living out one of the commitments shared by all members. An essay may be instructive, explaining the history, context, and meaning of certain movement traditions. In short, RC Essays are a chance for all of us to delve deeper into our charism, reflecting seriously on our spiritual patrimony, which the Church has recognized and lauded, and in that way helping that patrimony grow and bear fruit. RC Essays make no pretense of being the sole and exhaustive expression of our charism. The RC Spirituality Center will review and edit them to ensure their quality in expression and content, but no single person owns a collective charism in such a way as to give it a definitive and exhaustive expression. This is one of the important lessons we have begun to learn in our process of reform and renewal. Some RC Essays will lend themselves naturally to personal meditation; others will be especially apt for group study circles; all aim to be useful as spiritual reading for members in every branch of the movement. It is our hope and prayer that this series will continue to grow organically under the Holy Spirit's guidance. Some essays will connect more strongly with our members, and others less, while some may fall by the wayside after their useful moment has passed. Yet, perhaps the best RC Essays will stand the test of time, becoming spiritual and intellectual nourishment for many generations of movement members.
