    My Animals and Other Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
    The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of My Animals and Other Family, Clare Balding’s wildly funny and deeply moving childhood memoir, read brilliantly by the author herself. “I had spent most of my childhood thinking I was a dog, and I suspect I had aged in dog years. By the time I was ten I had discovered the pain of unbearable loss. I had felt joy and jealousy. Most important of all, I knew how to love and how to let myself be loved. All these things I learnt through animals. Horses and dogs were my family and my friends. This is their story as much as it is mine.” Clare Balding grew up in a rather unusual household. As her father is a champion trainer, she shared her life with more than 100 thoroughbred racehorses, mares, foals, and ponies, as well as an ever-present pack of boxers and lurchers. As a toddler she would happily ride the legendary Mill Reef and take breakfast with the Queen. She and her younger brother came very low down the pecking order. Left to their own devices, they had to learn life’s toughest lessons through the animals, and through their adventures in the stables and the idyllic Hampshire Downs. From the protective Candy to the pot-bellied Valkyrie and the frisky Hattie, each horse and each dog had their own character and their own special part to play. My Animals and Other Family is a funny, brave, tender story of self-discovery. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clare Balding.

    Self-Esteem Workbook: Overcome Negativity, Accept Yourself, Recognize Your Worth and Develop a Strong Self-Confidence to Be Happy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min
    Would you like to get rid of the negativity and work on yourself to develop a strong self-confidence and be happy? If yes, then keep listening….The truth is that very few of us are blessed with high levels of natural self-esteem. Humans are flawed by our very nature. That’s what makes life interesting. The negative conditioning we absorb through the years, especially with regards to ourselves, can really hinder our thinking. It can stifle our progress, and often cause us much undue mental anguish along the way.But it wasn’t always like this. As toddlers, we had none of these worries. From the ages of 2-8 we begin to pick up all sorts of programming about the world. We start to evaluate our surroundings, and more importantly, how we fit into them. We begin to ascribe meaning to events, which can have huge implications over time. This continues into our teenage years and young adult life. It's then simply a game of gauging our place in the social pecking order. This can be especially true for women, as the societal pressures are so heavy. I have long been obsessed with uncovering the principles which most effectively lead to a harmonious life and this book is designed to get you back to the natural and pure, success-seeking mindset you had as a toddler. This book gives a comprehensive guide on the following:Self-esteem - an overviewThe media’s influence on body imageHandling challengesSelf-explorationOvercoming fear of failureMaking your self-esteem building a daily habitHow to stop being self-absorbedSelf-awarenessAnd more!Scroll up, click on “Buy Now”, and start learning! ungekürzt.

    Greek Mythology: Captivating Stories of the Ancient Olympians and Titans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
    Did you know that Zeus loved many women, both goddesses and mortals? Did you know that he turned himself into golden rain for one damsel who was locked away in a tower, and turned himself into a swan for another beauty? Did you know that he kidnapped one young princess, which led to her brother founding the city of Thebes? And did you know that to protect his own power, Zeus swallowed his first wife, just as Cronus had swallowed his own children in a previous age? Greek myth is full of fascinating tales of Titans and Olympian gods. Some of it makes us wonder if there might be some hint of truth behind those stories, no matter how outrageous they may sound. What parts of those stories were merely symbolic, and what parts were literal? This book contains a brief but unconventional look at the Titans and Olympian gods of Greek mythology. Brief, because a thorough treatment of these legendary super beings could take thousands of hours. Unconventional, because digging for truth is far more interesting than reciting old stories which have little relevance to us today. Attempting to reveal some semblance of truth brings the stories to life. It gives them relevance to our modern world. Here, we will look at many of the more fascinating stories which kept the Greek mortals entertained for hundreds of years. After all, they didn't have iPhones and tablets. In this audiobook you'll discover: The nature of myth Primordial beings and Titans Creation of the universe Birth of the Titans Stories of a primordial universe Children of Cronus and Rhea Trouble in heaven Titans vs. gods New pecking order And more! ungekürzt.

    Paid to Think: A Leader's Toolkit for Redefining Your Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1859min
    Have you ever thought about the fact that a craftsman has more and better tools to solve challenges on the job than the leader of a business or organization does? Leadership tools” are usually defined as computers, spreadsheets, data, and even experience, but in reality, leaders need thinking tools that are hard to come by, so they find themselves hunting and pecking for answers in books, at seminars, through on-the-job training programs, from mentors, and at business schools, and still, they’re left with gaps. Surely, most leaders are good at what they do, but the daily challenges of their jobs - like accelerating growth, increasing productivity, driving innovation, doing more with less, and balancing work with life - don’t come with some sort of leadership toolkit...until now.

    Mind Control Tactics of Gaslighters: Flying Monkeys (Personal Support Included): Toxic Others, Book 35 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    I am the gaslighter that lives in your house. I am the deceptive one that sleeps in your bed. I am the enemy where you though there was a friend. I am the one who pulls the net out from beneath you when you thought there was a support net to catch you when you fall. I am the one who isolated you from everything and everyone that you knew prior to me. They are my friends now, and you are nothing to any of us.I used these flying monkeys to frighten you. My "friends" and my acquaintances who were at my beck and call - they knew that I needed them to help me better control and dominate you. They knew that you needed to be put in your place in the social ladder and in the pecking order and in the town.  You wanted to be a free thinker and a revolutionary and a missionary. You wanted to save the world, one person at a time. You wanted to start a business and earn the big bucks and get out of this town. You wanted to be above us, and none of us liked that you tried harder to get where you are. We hated that you reached a different level - that you strived harder to get where you were going.You had big dreams, but we couldn’t let you have this great life that you dreamt of. You couldn’t become better than us. You were the noncompliant one. You didn’t recognize where your place was. You should swim upstream with the rest of the salmon. Your place isn’t out in the big world where we cannot keep tabs on you. Your place is right here.

    The Benson Brothers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min
    Sweet young adult romance.Rough, tough and all male. The Benson Brothers are a unique mix of hero at heart and bad boy. Every girl instinctively knew that they are special. Three young men. Three stories. JakeAs far as Jake Benson was concerned, the arrival of Karla Forest would be even more proof that life sucked. One more reason to drop out and hit the road. He never expected that someone like Karla Forest could make him reevaluate his priorities. Make him see that the world had possibilities. Especially if Karla Forest was there.Karla Forest grew up in a privileged lifestyle. Private, all-girls schools. A diplomat’s daughter, she had traveled the world twice over. The last thing she expected was to be spending her senior year in high school in a small Pacific Northwest town, living with her mother’s best friend and her three sons. Nothing could have prepared Karla for the culture shock known as the Benson Brothers. Rambunctious, rowdy, and all male. The boys stood atop the high school hierarchy. Especially the oldest - Jake Benson. A bad attitude, a motorcycle, and a guitar. Nothing could have every prepared her for Jake Benson.ParkerParker Benson never intended to get involved. But he just couldn’t ignore a damsel in distress. It would have gone against the Benson code. Besides, he had that whole "good guy" reputation to maintain.Of course, nothing would be allowed to interfere with his dreams for the future. But if anything could. It might be Jade McDonald. With too many secrets and more baggage than an airport carousel, Jade McDonald stood alone. She always had and always would.

    Popular: The Power of Likability in a Status-Obsessed World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 383min
    A leading psychologist examines how our popularity affects our success, our relationships, and our happiness - and why we don't always want to be the most popular. No matter how old you are, there's a good chance that the word popular immediately transports you back to your teenage years. Most of us can easily recall the adolescent social cliques, the high school pecking order, and which of our peers stood out as the most or the least popular teens we knew. Even as adults we all still remember exactly where we stood in the high school social hierarchy, and the powerful emotions associated with our status persist decades later. This may be for good reason. Popular examines why popularity plays such a key role in our development and, ultimately, how it still influences our happiness and success today. In many ways - some even beyond our conscious awareness - those old dynamics of our youth continue to play out in every business meeting, every social gathering, our personal relationships, and even how we raise our children. Our popularity even affects our DNA, our health, and our mortality in fascinating ways we never previously realized. More than childhood intelligence, family background, or prior psychological issues, research indicates that it's how popular we were in our early years that predicts how successful and how happy we grow up to be. But it's not always the conventionally popular people who fare the best, for the simple reason that there is more than one type of popularity - and many of us still long for the wrong one. As children we strive to be likable, which can offer real benefits not only on the playground but throughout our lives. In adolescence, though, a new form of popularity emerges, and we suddenly begin to care about status, power, influence, and notoriety - research indicates that this type of popularity hurts us more than we realize. Realistically, we can't ignore our natural human soci ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mitch Prinstein. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/003139/bk_peng_003139_sample.mp3.

    Fifteen Quick and Easy Ways to Write a Novel: Learn Self-Editing for Fiction Writers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
    The science fiction writer Damon Knight wrote once that writers were basically toads in childhood. They were the introverts, the loners, the less-than-handsome or beautiful children in school. Many of those toads gravitated to literature to read about better times and better worlds, he noted. The writer Frederick Pohl objected. He claimed he did not have an unhappy childhood, nor was he ugly. Until he knocked a tooth out when he was about 10, Pohl said, he was a rather cute little kid. Whether cute or ugly, this audiobook is for the men and women who have gravitated to literature and dream of being writers. To be honest no book can make you a best-selling author. That must come through your own creativity. What books can do is give you tips on plotting, dialogue, prose, pace, characterization and other aspects of the writing craft. While you can never teach creativity, a book can give you sound advice on action verbs, crisp dialogue, and good characterization. Almost every best-selling writer can point to advice from another writer or a book that helped him develop his craft. While there are some things that cannot be learned - such as how to copy George V. Higgins' amazing dialogue - zero other aspects of the writing craft can be studied and incorporated into your own work while still allowing flexibility for your own special style. Even with sound advice and some writing talent, a great deal of knowledge about writing will be learned at your own keyboard, pecking out scenes of mystery or science fiction or childhood longing. This book is concerned with the basic nuts and bolts of the writing craft. The hammer and nails of literature. Writers will have to use those hammers and nails to fashion their own unique creative dreams. Perhaps Mr. Knight's view of writing is true. Perhaps most writers were toads in childhood. But some of those toads - and a few cute little kids - have created beautif ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Taylor Wilson.

    The Buy Side: A Wall Street Trader's Tale of Spectacular Excess , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    The Buy Side, by former Galleon Group trader Turney Duff, portrays an after-hours Wall Street culture where drugs and sex are rampant and billions in trading commissions flow to those who dangle the most enticements. A remarkable writing debut, filled with indelible moments, The Buy Side shows as no book ever has the rewards – and dizzying temptations – of making a living on the Street. Growing up in the 1980’s Turney Duff was your average kid from Kennebunk, Maine, eager to expand his horizons. After trying – and failing – to land a job as a journalist, he secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits. Those on the “buy side,” the traders who make large bets on whether a stock will rise or fall, are the “alphas” and those on the “sell side,” the brokers who handle their business, are eager to please. How eager to please was brought home stunningly to Turney in 1999 when he arrived at the Galleon Group, a colossal hedge-fund management firm run by secretive founder Raj Rajaratnam. Finally in a position to trade on his own, Turney was encouraged to socialize with the sell side and siphon from his new broker friends as much information as possible. Soon he was not just vacuuming up valuable tips but also being lured into a variety of hedonistic pursuits. Naive enough to believe he could keep up the lifestyle without paying a price, he managed to keep an eye on his buy-and-sell charts and, meanwhile, pondered the strange goings on at Galleon, where tens of millions were being made each week in sometimes mysterious ways. At his next positions, at Argus Partners and J.L. Berkowitz, Turney climbed to even higher heights – and, as it turned out, plummeted to even lower depths - as, by day, he solidified his reputation one of the Street’s most powerful healthcare traders, and by night, he blazed a path through the city’s nightclubs, showi ungekürzt.
