All Stories Are Fiction: Where Water Meets With Water, Hörbuch, Digital, 60min
Mike Daisey is a fierce storyteller, one minute hilarious, the next minute sweet, with a fine-tuned ear for digression. He circles in on his uneasy subject matter, closer and closer, until he exposes the raw heart. The New York Times calls him "the master storyteller" and he has been compared to Garrison Keillor, Spalding Gray, and David Sedaris. In these seven monologues, recorded before live audiences at New York's Performance Space 122, Daisey tells true stories from his life that range from the terrible beauty of his rural Maine hometown, to shipping weapons to the Middle East, to the unintentionally hilarious dangers of defending free speech. In Where Water Meets With Water, Mike explores the geography of his hometown in far northern Maine, where the natives wait for the St. John's River's ice to melt every spring and barber shops are filled with talk of how many bodies of the winter's lost will be found headed out to sea. Playing counterpoint are the details of a new Manhattan institution: a divorce party for friends who want their marriage to disintegrate cleanly. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Daisey.

In Tension is the Great Integrity, the passing of the Pope and conflicting feelings about Catholicism are touched on, as is Mike's trouble with writing deadlines for an independent film to be made in Copenhagen. Papal musings come head-to-head with evocative and mournful Scandinavian imagery like "a cup full of black ravens sits before me and I live in a profound desolation of the self". Yes, it's funnier than it sounds. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Daisey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/dais/000004/pf_dais_000004_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Driven: Driven Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min
I am the exception to the rule... In a world full of willing women, I'm a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He's the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor-thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track. Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline. I can't give him what he wants and he can't give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away? Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tatiana Sokolov.

In today's workplace, good manners matter more than ever. Blending different generations, genders, and cultures brings energy and fresh perspectives to the workplace. But the flip side is an environment ripe for confusion and social blunders. Mix in increasingly open-plan workplaces and constant connectivity, and the chance that we'll unintentionally annoy or offend others increases exponentially. Exactly what are the rules these days?

Merging classic rules of behavior with new realities of modern business, Excuse Me spotlights dozens of puzzling situations, with suggestions for bridging divides. The book untangles the nuances of: Meeting etiquette - Interview expectations - Proper office attire - Electronic manners - Privacy in tight spaces - Eye contact and nonverbal cues - Small talk - Business dining - Social media use - Working remotely and flexibly - And more.

Harry Truman: The Man Who Divided the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
Harry Truman: The Man Who Divided the World Truman was the epitome of the American dream. Born and raised by poor, struggling farmers in America's heartland, he had become president through his integrity, a little bit of luck, and sheer hard work. He became the leader of the United States at the tail end of the world's deadliest conflict. Thrust into the middle of a world of conflicting ideologies, Truman would be faced with the newest threat to international stability: a ravenous Soviet Union ready to devour the world with its communist philosophies. As the nation's leader, it fell to him to decide the path which the United States would take into the future. A dedicated public servant and a lover of the freedoms guaranteed by the United States Constitution, Truman realized it was not only his duty but his responsibility to safeguard the free world. By pledging to protect the people of the world from totalitarian rule, Truman unintentionally triggered the Cold War. With his pledge, this often overlooked president forever reshaped American foreign policy, dividing the world into East and West for over 40 years. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Deep Living with the Enneagram: Recovering Your True Nature (Revised and Updated) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 873min
It has been over ten years since I began working on the first edition of this book, titled Deep Living: Transforming Your Relationship to Everything That Matters through the Enneagram, to provide a new way to understand the challenges and possibilities associated with the sometimes difficult task of being human. The increasing pace of change during the last decade has made it even more difficult to stay connected to ourselves and experience our truer nature.... In these unpredictable times, rife with environmental, political, societal, and cultural upheavals, the energy of the external world has become so intense that we may absorb it unintentionally. With the growth of the internet, the acquisition of human knowledge has accelerated beyond our wildest imaginations, currently doubling every 13 months on average and predicted to soon double every 12 hours. The turmoil and uncertainty accompanying these monumental changes undermine our ability to be self-aware — in touch with ourselves as human beings — to connect to our hearts, and to act in ways beneficial to ourselves and the world.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
