    Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard’s Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), gives us a startling and eye-opening examination of how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world and how, for instance, we often misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates, misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions, and misremember important events. Your preference in politicians, the amount you tip your waiter - all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels: the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious and a sea change in our understanding of how the subliminal mind affects the way we live.Employing his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of how the human mind works and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

    You will love this course. Expertly and faithfully taught, this special 12-lecture series promises numerous "aha!" moments. You will learn, laugh, and grow as you enjoy this amazing set of talks in your car or at home. The Scriptures can be the inspired word of God and a puzzle all at the same time. Even for Christians, questions arise about appropriate roles of women as described in the Bible - for example, "Wives be subordinate to your husbands" (Col 3:18) and "women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak" (1 Cor 14:34). Commands such as "slaves, be obedient to your human masters" (Eph 6:5) or "call no one on earth your father" (Matt 23:9) can be challenging. Other perplexing passages appear to portray Jesus in a negative light, for instance in Mark 7:27, when Jesus calls the Syrophoenician woman a dog or when God kills most of humanity in a flood (Gen 6-8). Some passages elude our understanding because of factors such as the ancient culture of the author, the inexactness of a translation, and centuries of creative interpretation, often from outside the church. Using modern methods, and approaching these sometimes confounding texts forthrightly as both a Scripture scholar and a person of faith, Fr. Patrick Mullen will pull back some of the fog of centuries, culture, language, and translation to reveal the often hidden but still discernable sense of the enduring word of God. This course will enable you to experience your bible with newfound joy and understanding. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick J. Mullen.

    The National Center Against Bullying (NCAB) defines bullying as a continuous process involving intentional hurt, humiliation, and harm to a victim who has difficulty stopping the behavior. Among students, bullying is perceived as social or physical control-based behavior. It is important to note that defining bullying varies greatly and may not be solely linked to the terminology, but mostly the experience of the victims. Bullying not only has a negative impact on school performance, it adversely affects the communities we live in and the students' freedom to learn in a safe and secure environment without fear. Bullying is a widespread phenomenon. For instance, in the United States (US), bullying in schools is big problem for pupils and adolescents. Although people of all ages can be bullied, this phenomenon most often happens to school-aged children. Sadly, it has been recognized over the years that the bullying problem has grown in elementary, middle, and high schools throughout America to a point that parents and school officials in most states have teamed up to stop bullying within US schools. Current reports suggest that for every four students enrolled, one experiences regular bullying. In Europe, secondary schools in the United Kingdom (UK) experience the worst bullying compared to the rest of the schools in the region. Forty-six percent of secondary school pupils in the UK think bullying is a problem in their schools. Bullying in the UK is largely attributed to students' race, skin color, religion, and language difficulties. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John E. Christ.

    How we can transform the global food system by changing what's on our dinner plates. The implausible truth: Over one billion people in the world are hungry and over one billion are overweight. Far from complete opposites, hunger and obesity are in fact different manifestations of the same problem: It's increasingly difficult to find and eat nutritious food. By examining the global industrial food system using the deceptively simple template of a classic American dinner, We the Eaters not only outlines the root causes for this bizarre and troubling dichotomy, but also provides a blueprint of actionable solutions - solutions that could start with changing out just a single item on your plate. From your burger to your soda, Gustafson unpacks how even the hyper-local can cause worldwide ripples. For instance: American agricultural policy promoting corn and soybeans in beef farming means we feed more to cows than to hungry people. This is compounded by the environmental cost of factory livestock farming, rising obesity rates, and the false economics of unhealthily high meat consumption. The answer? Eat a hamburger; just make it a smaller, sustainably raised, grass-fed one. Gustafson - a young entrepreneur, foreign policy expert, and food policy advocate - delivers a wake-up call that will inspire even the most passive listener to take action. We can love our food and our country while being better stewards of our system and our health. We the Eaters is nothing short of a manifesto: If we change dinner, we can change the world. ungekürzt.

    Two of the world's leading experts explain the vital link between health and wealth that could add years to your life and dollars to your retirement savings. All the money in the world doesn't mean a thing if we can't get out of bed. And the healthiest body in the world won't stay that way if we're frazzled about five figures' worth of debt. Today show financial expert Jean Chatzky and the Cleveland Clinic's chief wellness officer, Dr. Michael Roizen, explain the vital connection between health and wealth - giving listeners all the tactics, strategies, and know-how to live longer, healthier, more lucrative lives. The same principles that allow us to achieve better bodies will allow us to do the same for our investment portfolios. For instance, physical and financial stability comes down to the same equation: inflow versus outflow. Do we burn more calories than we ingest? Likewise, are we making more money than we spend? The authors detail scientific ways to improve behavior so that the answers tilt in the listener's favor. They also offer ways to beat the system by automating how we do things and limiting our decisions in the face of too much food or too much debt. Chatzky and Roizen provide a plan for both financial independence and biological strength with action steps to get you there.

    Fifth of seven novellas in the Slumming in Paris, with the Children series, which is part six of my Slumming in Paris series. Part six is the fifth of seven novellas forming a subset with Slumming in Paris, additionally titled With the Children. Further, an identifying title part is given to each of the seven in the With the Children series. This audiobook is Movie Museum & Breakfast. The story continues with the children and the adults having welcomed the arrival of their grandparents and small neighbor child and the larger expanded family group venturing out into Paris together. A full list of those titles, including all the currently named chapters (rather than numbered, as in my previous work) is at the end of each book. Parts two through eight are comprehensive, with an overarching theme and story of experiencing Paris and finding what that experience means within. While part one, Slumming in Paris, Arthur & Gricinda is more obviously focused on the two adults, parts two to eight prominently feature the children. Experiencing Paris is, in this work, both symbolic and an engulfing immersion all its own. The mystery for each person who visits this wonderful city is how to individually reconcile everything he or she has known before and hopes to know. And to know, in this instance, because there are so many characters, mostly young, is a variable thing. And realizing that knowing is a process for us as people, is, I truly believe, one of the greatest gifts of Paris and fiction that we can receive. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    You're about to discover how to overcome the challenges of dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis is a common phenomenon affecting the modern-day societies of the world. What is really responsible for it? There are a few reasons why many societies are witnessing the problem. But what is the meaning of dual diagnosis? How do we deal with the challenges associated with dual diagnosis? To start with, dual diagnosis can be referred to as a condition that brings about the simultaneous existence of two mental illnesses at the same time, a problem that assumes a dual nature. This condition appears to be something that can further lead to a more heterogeneous problem. However, the issue has led to many debates whether it is possible for someone to suffer dual problems and yet still be refer to them as a single problem. Experience has shown that it is very possible for an individual to suffer problems that assume a dual nature. For example we have dual diagnosis manifesting in critical conditions like alcoholism and depression. This is a very good example of a problem that has to do with dual diagnosis. The issue can also be seen in more serious mental illnesses, like schizophrenia and psychosis. It can also manifest in conditions that have to do with substance misuse when it leads to the development of certain disorders, for instance when an individual overuses cannabis. Other forms of disorders that can lead to dual diagnosis problems are panic disorders, generalized anxiety disorders, and overdependence on drugs. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Beard.
