  Controlling Krysta: Hot Texas Bosses, Book 2 (BDSM Erotica) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min, (USK 18)

  Controlling Krysta is the novella-length sequel to The New York Times best seller Training Tessa. Twenty-six-year-old grad student Krysta James takes a receptionist job with Maddox Brothers, Inc., but since she's lost her scholarship, she's still not sure how she'll afford to finish her doctorate. She tries to ignore the heat she feels whenever she's near her strange boss Mason Maddox, determined not to allow herself to fall for another selfish rich guy after what happened last time. Dixon Maddox is planning to leave for Michigan soon to rekindle his romance with Tessa, but he's worried about leaving his brother. He notices that Mason is attracted to Krysta and tells her the heart-wrenching story behind his brother's unusual behavior. Against her better judgment, Krysta signs a contract with Dix to do anything his brother asks of her, including bondage and punishment, in return for the money she needs to finish her education. But just as Krysta gets to know Mason and discovers the lovable side he was keeping under wraps, he finds evidence that she's betrayed him. And if she chooses to stay at his ranch, she will be punished. Meanwhile, Dix hears that Tessa may have a "boyfriend" up north and is desperate to get her back. He realizes there's something he knows about Tessa that he's sure no one else in her small town in Michigan does, and he has no qualms about using her sexual inclinations to master her and make her his again. Content warning: This novella contains inappropriate office behavior, spankings, whippings, floggings, bondage, anal sex, and unusual use of horseback-riding equipment (but no actual horses). ungekürzt.

  Summary, Analysis, and Review of Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min

  Please note: This is an analysis and key takeaways of the book and not the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "About the Author" section. Preview: The 4-Hour Workweek is self-help guru and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss's first entry into the genre. Published in 2007, the book offers an alternative to the monotonous nine-to-five, 40-hour workweek in which many Americans have found themselves. Ferriss begins The 4-Hour Workweek by emphasizing that anyone - regardless of education, privilege, or age - can put his methodology to use in order to achieve the sort of leisured, mobile lifestyle he enjoys. To set an example, Ferriss offers listeners a brief primer on his own history and achievements: he was born six weeks prematurely and held a series of odd jobs throughout his life including, but not limited to, a turn as a failed audiobook peddler as well as a summer stint as a cleaner at an ice cream parlor. Despite having a SAT score 40% lower than the average freshman, Ferris enrolled at Princeton with a major in neuroscience before switching to East Asian studies. While at school, Ferriss developed a knack for entrepreneurship, in turn providing a profitable outlet for his workaholic inclinations. Over the course of his time at Princeton he worked as a bouncer, developed and sold a speed-reading course, and was briefly employed by Berlitz, one of the world's foremost publishers of language learning tools. ungekürzt.

  Goodbye Things, Hello Minimalism! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min

  People around the world apparently do not cease to come up with various lifestyles in accordance with their own personal perspectives, views, and needs. Some of these lifestyles created and implemented are known to be radically opposing to each other, with the rest being considered more or less "in between" these opposite categories, characterized in turn by peculiarities and standards that can be a fit for almost all human inclinations, orientations, and intellects. Of all these lifestyles, minimalism has appeared to the public and has been met by wide approval and a huge interest in the implementation or at least the attempt of it. So far, minimalism has multiple definitions and many elaborate ideas which can be considered to revolve around the same mutual concept of pursuing and committing to simplicity in life in a continuous and consistent manner. The term "minimalism" does actually define itself. You may think of it in simple words as the lifestyle which includes having the "minimal" or "simplest" standards and criteria, associated with accustoming and successfully convincing oneself with such a lifestyle. The other definitions of minimalism chosen to be included this guide are for clarification and enlightenment regarding the subject. Minimalism is about maintaining things of importance in your life. The things that bring balance and alignment. These should be the items that you prioritised and valued the most. This guide addresses mainly minimalists who have families and kids to reassure and confirm to them that minimalism is compatible within a varied scope of family sizes. This guide hope to dispel the notion that minimalism is impractical and incompatible with families especially larger families. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Al Morris.

  Miss Anne in Harlem: The White Women of the Black Renaissance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 814min

  New York City in the Jazz Age was host to a pulsating artistic and social revolution. Uptown, an unprecedented explosion in black music, literature, dance, and art sparked the Harlem Renaissance. While the history of this African-American awakening has been widely explored, one chapter remains untold: The story of a group of women collectively dubbed "Miss Anne". Sexualized and sensationalized in the mainstream press - portrayed as monstrous or insane - Miss Anne was sometimes derided within her chosen community of Harlem as well. While it was socially acceptable for white men to head uptown for "exotic" dancers and "hot" jazz, white women who were enthralled by life on West 125th Street took chances. Miss Anne in Harlem introduces these women - many from New York’s wealthiest social echelons - who became patrons of, and romantic participants in, the Harlem Renaissance. They include Barnard College founder Annie Nathan Meyer, Texas heiress Josephine Cogdell Schuyler, British activist Nancy Cunard, philanthropist Charlotte Osgood Mason, educator Lillian E. Wood, and novelist Fannie Hurst - all women of accomplishment and renown in their day. Yet their contributions as hostesses, editors, activists, patrons, writers, friends, and lovers often went unacknowledged and have been lost to history until now. In a vibrant blend of social history and biography, award-winning author Carla Kaplan offers a joint portrait of six iconoclastic women who risked ostracism to follow their inclinations - and raised hot-button issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality in the bargain. Returning Miss Anne to her rightful place in the interracial history of the Harlem Renaissance, Kaplan’s formidable work remaps the landscape of the 1920s, alters our perception of this historical moment, and brings Miss Anne to vivid life. ungekürzt.

  Learn and Understand Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min

  Philosophy is not a lifestyle. Each individual does not have his or her own logic. Philosophy is not just a hypothesis about something. Nor is philosophy a conviction or a wish. Logic is an action: a mission after intelligence. Philosophy is a movement of thought. Philosophy is a specific, one-of-a-kind sort of thought or style of considering. Logic is not to be mistaken for its item. What a savant gives is a group of rational thought, not a philosophy. A philosopher authorizes a philosophy, a journey after intelligence. Philosophy is not what collection of thought one might want to call one's own or might want to have faith in - a decision based on individual inclinations or sentiments. The reasoning is an interest. One can be philosophical. One can be a logician. One cannot pick a philosophy. philosophy, seeing that it might be connected at all to a lifestyle, is a type of intuition intended to guide activity or to endorse a lifestyle. The insightful lifestyle, if there is one, is shown in an existence in which activity is held to be best coordinated when philosophical reflection has given that heading - e.g., Socrates, the worldview of a thinker. Philosophy is a movement of thought, a kind of consideration. Philosophy is basic and extensive thought, the most basic and complete way of deduction that the human species has formulated. This scholarly process incorporates both an expository and a manufactured method of operation. Philosophy as a basic and complete procedure of thought includes determining disarray, unmasking suspicions, uncovering presuppositions, recognizing significance, testing positions, revising twists, searching for reasons, looking at world perspectives, and addressing calculated structures. ungekürzt.

  Crank's Bombshell (Haven MC, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

  Merit "Crank" Michaels grew up in the foster care system. He had spent his youth moving from one house to another, never finding a real home. Once he aged out, he joined the Navy and became a SEAL. He planned to make the Navy his home, but a training accident changed that for him, leaving him once again searching for a place to call his own. When Crank joined the Haven MC, he knew he had found what he was looking for. What he hadn't expected or planned-was falling for Madison Wetzel, his best friend's baby sister. Out of respect for his friend and club brother, who had warned him off Madison, Crank initially fought his feelings for her. However, one night with her had led to another, and now he needed to confess the truth to Pinch-everything that happened in Crank's life had led him to her, and he had no plans to give her up. Madison Wetzel loved her brother. How could she not? Cal had barely been nineteen and new to the military when their parents died, yet he fought for her and changed his life to take her in. Now, as an adult with an education and a good-paying job, she wanted her brother back, not the parent he had become out of necessity. At first, she had slowly pushed back on his absurd overprotective inclinations because nothing had meant enough to her to fight over-until Merit "Crank" Michaels.Madison hadn't wanted to be the cause of any conflict between Pinch and Crank, so she kept her involvement with Crank private. Even when he pushed her about coming clean with Pinch, she told him there was plenty of time. Of course, that was before Madison was shot during a bank robbery. Sent to the hospital and ordered to surgery as the doctor dropped a bomb. A bomb leaving the two men she cared most about in the world standing stunned as she's wheeled down the hall.

  Doug Pitassi's 15 Best Restaurants in Portland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min

  Doug Pitassi's 15 Best Restaurants in Portland There are few places as unique and diverse as the city of Portland, and the city's dining options reflect the openness of its residents to a wide variety of culinary delights. In this new book, Doug Pitassi takes on the daunting task of offering his expert assessment of the very best restaurants the city has to offer by providing detailed information regarding each and every restaurant earning a ranking among the 15 best. Citing the combination of the exceptionally fertile soil of the Pacific Northwest and the fearlessness of residents to try things belonging to entirely unfamiliar cultures, Pitassi praises Portland's culinary sophistication by noting that there are hundreds of restaurants worthy of inclusion among the best in Portland. Despite the difficulties inherent in his task, Pitassi successfully brings the exceptionality of the Portland dining scene into focus and provides a thorough assessment of and explanation for each of his choices. In this ideal book for both residents of and visitors to the city of Portland, Pitassi makes sure to detail each restaurant's respective specialties along with all the hidden gems that may not always be discovered by diners during the first few visits to a given establishment. Doug Pitassi's 15 Best Restaurants in Portland also includes advice regarding the best times to visit each dining establishment, as some of the restaurants rely heavily on seasonality when preparing their menu offerings while others are just predictably busy at certain times. With practical advice and detailed descriptions, first-time visitors to Portland can use this book to find the perfect dining option regardless of their particular tastes or inclinations, and Portlanders can benefit from the depth of Pitassi's analysis to discover the menu offerings they may have unintentionally passed over at their favorite restaurants. ungekürzt.

  The Outrage Industry: Political Opinion Media and the New Incivility , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min

  In early 2012, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who advocated for insurance coverage of contraceptives, "wants to be paid to have sex." Over the next few days, Limbaugh attacked Fluke personally, often in crude terms, while a powerful backlash grew. But perhaps what was most notable about the incident was that it wasn't unusual. From Limbaugh's venomous attacks on Fluke to liberal radio host Mike Malloy's suggestion that Bill O'Reilly "drink a vat of poison... and choke to death", over-the-top discourse in today's political opinion media is pervasive. Anyone who observes the skyrocketing number of incendiary political opinion shows on television and radio might conclude that political vitriol on the airwaves is fueled by the increasingly partisan American political system. But in The Outrage Industry Jeffrey M. Berry and Sarah Sobieraj show how the proliferation of outrage says more about regulatory, technological, and cultural changes, than it does about our political inclinations. Berry and Sobieraj tackle the mechanics of outrage rhetoric, exploring its various forms, such as mockery, emotional display, fear mongering, audience flattery, and conspiracy theories. They then investigate the impact of outrage rhetoric on a contemporary political landscape that features frequent straight-party voting in Congress. Outrage tactics have also facilitated the growth of the Tea Party, a movement which appeals to older, white conservatives and has dragged the GOP farther away from the demographically significant moderates whose favor it should be courting. Finally, The Outrage Industry examines how these shows sour our own political lives. Drawing from a rich base of evidence, this book forces all of us to consider the negative consequences that flow from our increasingly hyper-partisan political media.

  Homo Sapiens Are Bio-Robots: Human 'Software': Catalog of Human Souls, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min

  Back in the '80s of the XX century, researcher Andrey Davydov decrypted one of the most ancient sources preserved in this civilization - Shan Hai Jing. This ancient Chinese monument turned out to be the Catalog of human population - a collection of detailed descriptions of 293 subtypes of the biological type Homo sapiens. It contains information about each person who lived, lives, or will live in the future on planet Earth. Information about the subtype structure is implanted in the form of a program in the unconscious of a person from birth, and this program determines all of his life: personal qualities and character properties, algorithms of life and functioning, hidden motivational spring, abilities, talents, preferences, inclinations, etc. Natural subtype program is that what is called "psyche", "soul". In addition to a program, Homo sapiens, as a bio system programmed by nature, has modes of self-regulation and regulation (control from the outside). For colleagues from the scientific environment, we are offering our definition of what psyche of Homo sapiens and the catalog of human population are: "The catalog of human population is a description of a human as a type by subtype structures. Subtype structure ('psyche', 'soul') is a combination of individual archetypes, recorded at the genetic level (principle). Expressions and interaction of subtype structures in manipulation modes and phenological algorithms are described with adjustments for gender, age, and cultural differences. Information is recorded on six factors." Programs and manipulation modes of each subtype differ from one another. For this reason, people differ from each other by internal characteristics, and individual manipulation scenarios are necessary for each person. Homo sapiens is a living system, which, as it turned out, exists and functions strictly on the basis of a natural program implanted from birth, and from this it was concluded that a human is a bio-r ungekürzt.

  If You're so Smart, Why Aren't You Happy? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min

  The first book by the creator of COURSERA®'s most popular online course in 2015, "A Life of Happiness and Fulfillment" Could the same traits that drive your career success also be keeping you from being happier? Fifteen years after getting his MBA, Raj Raghunathan spent some time with his old classmates. He noticed that though they'd all done well, there didn't appear to be much correlation between their academic success and career success. What Raj found even more curious was the even smaller correlation between career success and what he calls life success. The greater the career success, the more unhappy, out of shape, harried, and distracted his friends were. If intelligence helps with decision making, smart people should naturally make better life choices. So why are so many of the smartest, brightest, most successful people profoundly unhappy? Raj set out to find an answer to this problem and extensively researched the happiness of not just students and businesspeople but also stay-at-home-parents, lawyers, and artists, among others. If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy? takes listeners on a fun and meaningful tour of the best research available on how some of the very determinants of success may also come to deflate happiness. Raghunathan explores the seven most common inclinations that successful people need to overcome and the seven habits they should adopt instead. Among his surprising findings: The correlation between wealth and happiness is much smaller than you'd expect it to be Generosity is not only a key to happiness but a determining factor of long-term success Appreciating uncertainty, rather than seeking full control of outcomes, is necessary for happiness If You're so Smart, Why Aren't You Happy? will give you a powerful new perspective on your work, personal goals, and relationships, whether you're already suc ungekürzt.
