    And Justice for Some , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
    When Wendy Murphy was a young prosecutor, she learned that the deck is stacked in favor of criminal defendants. Between their arrest and (potential) conviction, murderers, rapists, and drug dealers get more than a fair shake; they get an unfair advantage, often at the expense of their victims. In many states, for instance, defendants can subpoena a victim's private medical and counseling files without any justification. They can threaten victims with brutal cross-examinations if they dare to testify. They can put on "dog and pony show" defenses that have nothing to do with the truth. They can even lie under oath with virtually no risk of being prosecuted for perjury. These kinds of injustices make Murphy fighting mad. She's made it her mission to help the victims who get the least protection from our twisted legal system. And in this, her first book, she guides readers through one horror story after another about judges and lawyers who bend over backward to let the worst offenders go free. You'll meet judges who unapologetically declare that they care more about their liberal ideology than about the pain and suffering of abuse victims; judges who let child molesters walk free because they're "too frail" to go to prison; defense attorneys who take big money from wealthy child molesters, then twist the Bill of Rights beyond recognition; and even a few prosecutors who go easy on criminals for their own selfish reasons. Murphy's true stories will shock you, but they will also inspire you to join the fight for a more rational system. This is an important book that is sure to infuriate America's legal establishment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joyce Bean.

    Science of Success: How Successful People Think Differently: Strategies Great Minds Use to Achieve Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    Has it ever occurred to you that some people are able to attain so much success at social, professional, or personal level whereas others are struggling to get even a fraction of that success? Well, this is a common scene in our society today. For instance, two or more people can commit to the same goal of losing weight by going to the gym. One of them may manage to follow through while the other one falls by the wayside. The question that we always ask ourselves is: How do successful people do things differently? This is the science and secret of success. Whether it is about losing weight, learning a new skill, or starting a business, successful people have a game plan that is different in structure and principle from the one used by people who fail. Is there a possibility that successful people are wired differently from the rest of the pack? Is there something in their DNA that is so unique to them? To answer these questions, a lot of theories have been put forward. Surprisingly, some of them have nothing to do with formal education. It is possible to see thousands of people unemployed, broke, and unhappy, even with briefcases full of doctorate degrees. On the other hand, you may see tens of thousands of happy, rich, and independent people who only managed to earn a high school education. While formal education is important, research shows that a lack of it does not automatically equate to a lack of success. As long as you have basic formal education such as a college diploma, and you are willing to invest in yourself, then you will ultimately succeed. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Hinduism: Adopting Hinduism as a Way of Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Learn how to adopt Hinduism as a way of life. Hinduism is the oldest and the third largest religion by population. There are more than a billion Hindus in India, Nepal, Indonesia (Bali), Mauritius, Canada, New Zealand, Kenya, and elsewhere in the world who practice the faith. However, many scholars and practitioners believe that Hinduism is not a religion at all - it is a way of life, as Hinduism explains the purpose of human life, what you should and shouldn't do, how you should behave with others, and how you should carry out your duties and responsibilities. There are many aspects of Hinduism that makes it distinct from any other religion. For instance, there is no founder. Hinduism developed from the faiths and traditions of the earliest people who practiced it, and it is still evolving. Hinduism believes that god is within us, and everywhere in the universe. This book contains detailed information on the Hindu way of life. You will learn about Dharma and how to lead the life in a dharmic way so that you can achieve self-awareness, realize the true potential of your atman or soul, find god, and become free from the cycle of life and death. I will introduce you to the concepts of atman, moksha, sanatan dharma, the Hindu theories of evolution, and the duties and responsibilities of all Hindus. I will show you how faith, devotion, dharma, and artistic expression are a way of life. You will learn about the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad-Gita. Finally, I will explain the meaning of life, and show you how to find god within you and in the outside universe. Listen to this book now! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sangita Chauhan.

    Emotional Intelligence: How to Manage Your Emotions and the Emotions of Others , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
    In its simplest and most concise form, emotional intelligence (referred to as EI, or EQ for "emotional quotient") is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict. This ability also allows us to recognize and understand what other are experiencing emotionally. This recognition and understanding is, for the most part, a nonverbal process that informs thinking, and influences how well you connect with others. Emotional intelligence differs from how we think of intellectual ability, in that emotional intelligence is learned not acquired. This learning can take place at any time in life so the social and emotional skill set, known as emotional intelligence, is something we can all have. People who are considered to have high EI can solve a variety of emotion-related problems accurately and quickly. They can correctly perceive emotions in faces of others, and what the emotions convey. For instance, they know that angry people can be dangerous, happy people want to relate with others, and sad people often prefer to be alone. High EI people are also adept at managing their own as well as others' emotions. They know how to use emotional episodes in their own lives to promote specific types of thinking. Solving problems requires less cognitive effort for those high in EI. These individuals also tend to be higher in verbal, social, and other intelligences. They are generally more open and agreeable, and are drawn to occupations involving social interactions such as teaching, counseling and interacting with others. To learn more about emotional intelligence, listening to this book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jordan Bell.

    Simply Brilliant: How Great Organizations Do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    There's no such thing as an average or old-fashioned business, just average or old-fashioned ways to do business. In fact the opportunity to reach for extraordinary may be most pronounced in settings that have been far too ordinary for far too long. Far away from Silicon Valley, in familiar, traditional, even unglamorous fields, ordinary people are unleashing extraordinary advances that amaze customers, energize employees, and create huge economic value. Their secret? They understand that the work of inventing the future doesn't belong just to geeks designing mobile apps and virtual-reality headsets or to social-media entrepreneurs hoping to launch the next Facebook. Some of today's most compelling organizations are doing brilliant things in simple settings such as retail banks, office cleaning companies, department stores, small hospitals, and auto dealerships. William C. Taylor, cofounder of Fast Company and best-selling author of Practically Radical, traveled thousands of miles to visit these hotbeds of simple brilliance and unearth the principles and practices behind their success. He offers fascinating case studies and powerful lessons that you can apply to do ordinary things in extraordinary ways regardless of your industry or profession. Consider, for instance, how: Miami Beach's dazzling 1111 Lincoln Road reimagined the humble parking garage as a high-profile public space that hosts weddings, yoga classes, and celebrity gatherings. USAA, the financial-services giant that provides soldiers and their families with insurance and banking products, inspires frontline employees to deliver legendary service by immersing them in military culture. Pal's Sudden Service, a fast-food chain with a cult following, serves up burgers and fries with such speed and accuracy that companies from other industries pay to learn from its astonishing discipline.

    Learn About Pure Breeding in Cats , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
    A pure breed of cat is one that specifies the lineage of the cat, and means that it has no other breed mix in its blood or heritage than that which it is named. Many people who adopt or purchase a cat do not think in the terms of "purebred." They fall in love with the cat or kitten's characteristics, personality, and behaviors. There are some, however, who have a particular breed of cat in mind when purchasing or adopting a cat. Maybe they fell in love with the look of a particular breed, or they need their cat to be hairless, such in the case of the hairless cat breed. Or perhaps they just like the status of saying they own a purebred. When you get a purebred cat, if purchased from a reputable cat breeder, you are getting a cat that has a long lineage of cats from the same breed. Every time a litter of kittens is born, each kitten is registered with the Cat Fancier's Association (CFA), and they can trace each kitten's heritage with registration papers to see its long history of pure breeding.  Purebred cats are mated with their like breed; for instance, a purebred Persian with another purebred Persian, and Siamese with a Siamese, and so on. There cannot be any other breed of cat in the lineage or the offspring will not be considered purebred. One big misconception that's often made when speaking about cat breeds is with calicos. Many people think calicos are a type of breed when they are not. Calico refers to the coloring of a cat, and not a breed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeffrey A. Hering.

    Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min
    Rand Fishkin, the founder and former CEO of Moz, reveals how traditional Silicon Valley "wisdom" leads far too many startups astray, with the transparency and humor that his hundreds of thousands of blog readers have come to love.  Everyone knows how a startup story is supposed to go: A young, brilliant entrepreneur has a cool idea, drops out of college, defies the doubters, overcomes all odds, makes billions, and becomes the envy of the technology world.   This is not that story.   It's not that things went badly for Rand Fishkin; they just weren't quite so Zuckerberg-esque. His company, Moz, maker of marketing software, is now a $45 million/year business, and he's one of the world's leading experts on SEO. But his business and reputation took 15 years to grow, and his startup began not in a Harvard dorm room but as a mother-and-son family business that fell deeply into debt.   Now Fishkin pulls back the curtain on tech startup mythology, exposing the ups and downs of startup life that most CEOs would rather keep secret. For instance: A minimally viable product can be destructive if you launch at the wrong moment. Growth hacking may be the buzzword du jour, but initiatives can fizzle quickly. Revenue and growth won't protect you from layoffs. And venture capital always comes with strings attached.   Fishkin's hard-won lessons are applicable to any kind of business environment. Up or down the chain of command, at both early stage startups and mature companies, whether your trajectory is riding high or down in the dumps: this audiobook can help solve your problems, and make you feel less alone for having them. ungekürzt.

    American Genesis: The Evolution Controversies from Scopes to Creation Science  , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    The question of teaching evolution in the public schools is a continuing and frequently heated political issue in America. From Tennessee's Scopes Trial in 1925 to recent battles that have erupted in Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and countless other localities, the critics and supporters of evolution have fought nonstop over the role of science and religion in American public life. In American Genesis, Jeffrey P. Moran explores the ways in which the evolution debate has reverberated beyond the confines of state legislatures and courthouses. Using extensive research in newspapers, periodicals, and archives, Moran shows that social forces such as gender, regionalism, and race have intersected with the debate over evolution in ways that shed light on modern American culture. He investigates, for instance, how antievolutionism deepened the cultural divisions between North and South - northerners embraced evolution as a sign of sectional enlightenment, while southerners defined themselves as the standard bearers of true Christianity. Evolution debates also exposed a deep gulf between conservative Black Christians and secular intellectuals such as W. E. B. DuBois. Moran also explores the ways in which the struggle has played out in the universities, on the Internet, and even within the evangelical community. Throughout, he shows that evolution has served as a weapon, as an enforcer of identity, and as a polarizing force both within and without the churches. America has both the most advanced scientific infrastructure as well as the highest rate of church adherence among developed nations, and the issues raised in the evolution controversies touch the heart of our national identity. American Genesis makes an important contribution to our understanding of the impact of this contentious issue, revealing how its tendrils have stretched out to touch virtually every corner of our lives. ungekürzt.
