  An Appeal to the World: The Way to Peace in a Time of Division , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min

  Includes exclusive bonus audio of the voice of the Dalai Lama, as coauthor Franz Alt asks about his views on President Trump, the rise of nationalism, the refugee crisis, the climate catastrophe, and more. In this brief, urgent "appeal to the world", His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses our time of division, calling on us to draw upon the innate goodness of our shared humanity to overcome the rancor, mistrust, and divisiveness that threaten world peace and sustainability. "I see with ever greater clarity that our spiritual well-being depends not on religion, but on our innate human nature, our natural affinity for goodness, compassion, and caring for others." (From An Appeal to the World) Already a major international best seller, now available in English for the first time, in An Appeal to the World, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet illuminates the way to peace in our time, arguing for a form of universal ethics that goes beyond religion - values we all share as humans that can help us create unity and peace to heal our world. "All people are united in the pursuit of happiness and the desire to avoid suffering," His Holiness reminds us. "This is the source of humanity's greatest achievements." Our development relies on cooperation, not competition. We need to begin to think and act on "we humans" - we must stop focusing on what divides us and recognize our commonalities. Without secular ethics - what Albert Schweitzer referred to as "reverence for life" - we cannot solve all the problems we face. Working with trusted collaborator Franz Alt, the Dalai Lama calls on the better angels of our nature to tackle a wide range of contemporary issues, from war, violence, and intolerance to climate change, global hunger, and materialism. Applying the techniques and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism - from listening and contemplation to meditation and nonviolence - His Holiness provides a roadmap forwa ungekürzt. Language: English.

  The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail - but Some Don't , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 981min

  Updated for 2020 with a New Preface by Nate Silver "One of the more momentous books of the decade." (The New York Times Book Review) Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair’s breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger - all by the time he was 30. He solidified his standing as the nation's foremost political forecaster with his near perfect prediction of the 2012 election. Silver is the founder and editor in chief of the website FiveThirtyEight. Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future. In keeping with his own aim to seek truth from data, Silver visits the most successful forecasters in a range of areas, from hurricanes to baseball to global pandemics, from the poker table to the stock market, from Capitol Hill to the NBA. He explains and evaluates how these forecasters think and what bonds they share. What lies behind their success? Are they good - or just lucky? What patterns have they unraveled? And are their forecasts really right? He explores unanticipated commonalities and exposes unexpected juxtapositions. And sometimes, it is not so much how good a prediction is in an absolute sense that matters but how good it is relative to the competition. In other cases, prediction is still a ungekürzt.

  A Bigger Picture for All , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 240min

  This work points out the need for people to think about, and reflect upon, the nature of their existence while recognizing that there are two sides to our reality - the physical and the metaphysical. There is knowledge that comes out of such an investigation that will lead to an improved life, both from an individual and a collective sense.The approach in this work is to look at the concept and practice of religion as indicative of a general sign or pattern, which shows itself as a commonality across much of humanity. That is, many people are followers or adherents of some religion and that fact points to an inner need in humanity that people seek to satisfy through the practice of a religion. At its foundational level, religion serves to address humanity’s inclination and callings regarding that side of ourselves, the side that continues on after death. What are the general commonalities in what religions tell us about the nature of our existence and what continues on after we die? This book addresses that question and attempts to paint a picture, or outline, of “the way things work”, and the “rules of the game” as they apply to the bigger picture of life.Additionally, there is an overarching theme in this work that recognizes the difficult situation that we, as a humanity, currently find ourselves in on this earth. There is a need for us, both individually and collectively, to get our bearings and reorient ourselves so that we can have an improved situation on this globe. There is the distinct recognition that each person must show individual responsibility as it pertains to their own personal growth. When we, personally, are on good footing then we are in a better position to help others. In this way, we work to improve ourselves and those around us, which, in time, will spread to others and helps to improve our overall situation on earth as a people. This good footing we need as individuals can be had by knowing that there is “A Bigger Picture” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: A. Friend.

  The Role of Sex in a Couple’s Spiritual Life: A Cultural Exploration of Sex and Spirituality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min

  Spirituality is the quest to develop the spiritual side of your human nature. It has many different shades of meaning for each person. Often shaped by religious and societal norms, spirituality frequently evades many of us as we plod through our daily existence. Our busy lives keep our focus on our day-to-day affairs, and many of us don’t have the energy or inclination to dedicate the precious resources of time and effort into developing this critical aspect of ourselves. Figuring out how to grow spiritually as a couple is a quest worth going on, no matter how busy or hectic your lives are! Sex should be a key feature within the spiritual journey of a couple. If this comes as a surprise, hang in there, and we’ll show you how! The connection within a dedicated romantic partnership is multifaceted and can be as fragile as a house of cards. However, by strengthening the bond between you and your partner through both sex and a conscious effort to grow together spiritually, that house of cards can become a rock-solid tether. Different religious cultures have different approaches to sex and how it fits into a relationship. By exploring different spiritual cultures, you can widen your perceptions on how sex can fit into a spiritual relationship. There are far more commonalities between different religions than you may think! We will explore the role of sex in the spiritual culture of the following religions: Christianity with a focus on Catholicism, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and tribal Africa. As you can see, this is a wide cross-section of religious beliefs. From each culture, we illuminate ways that couples can build their spirituality together while balancing their physical needs and desires. There are many things to be learned from cultures outside your own! This book is not a sex manual, nor is it overly sexually explicit. The content explores beliefs systems with a focus on how a couple within that culture can unite themselves both spiritua ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Diane Lehman.

  America Hijacked: How Deep State Actors from LBJ to Obama Killed for Power and Money , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 228min

  All throughout recorded history, politicians have taken bribes from outside parties to push certain agendas, either profiting themselves or helping others profit through illicit and illegal actions. We know this common practice is wrong, and yet we all tend to look the other way. Before examining these actions, should we look at the commonalities? Just how did deep state actors from LBJ to Obama hijack the country that we love? How did the Clinton Foundation change the course of American domestic politics and international policy? On the surface, it may seem as though the course of history has diverted and deviated from the path throughout our time as a nation, but who is leading the ship? Who is in control? And, more importantly, why? What are their motives? As ordinary Americans, we are the ones who suffer the repercussions. Let’s take a deeper look into the Clintons, the Bushes, Kennedy, Johnson, and even Donald Trump himself to see just how the deep state has impacted the world we love and the country we love. Motivated by money and power, deep state actors grasped control of this country long ago. Since the election of Donald Trump, they’ve been grabbing and grasping for any last shred of power that they once held over us. Understanding how these actors received their power is critical in understanding why they abused it. Through America Hijacked, we’ll take a critical look into the policies and practices of nearly every administration up until modern day to see just how the deep state came to be and how it hijacked America for their own personal benefit. Where does the issue lie? It lies in the fact that our elected representatives hijack our country, our principles, and everything that we stand for when they use their status and political power to cover up crimes and purposefully make conscious unlawful decisions that impact the lives of ordinary Americans. They do it all for the profit and (political) gains of the few. T ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Milroy.

And are their forecasts really right? He explores unanticipated commonalities and exposes unexpected juxtapositions. And sometimes, it is not so much how good a prediction is in an absolute sense that matters but how good it is relative to the competition. In other cases, prediction is still a very rudimentary-and dangerous-science. Silver observes that the most accurate forecasters tend to have a superior command of probability, and they tend to be both humble and hardworking. They distinguish the predictable from the unpredictable, and they notice a thousand little details that lead them closer to the truth. Because of their appreciation of probability, they can distinguish the signal from the noise. With everything from the health of the global economy to our ability to fight terrorism dependent on the quality of our predictions, Nate Silver's insights are an essential read.
