    This completely revised and updated edition of Reinventing Yourself, the motivational classic by inspirational author Steve Chandler, features several new chapters, including: What to Do about Your Money Fears Your Career Played as a Game vs. Your Career as a Grind for Survival How Much Ego Do You Need to Succeed? The Hidden Downside of Winning Friends and Influencing People Do You Need a Life Coach or Should You Just Wing It? Does Success Make You Happy or Does Happiness Make You Successful? You'll learn numerous techniques for breaking down negative barriers and letting go of the pessimistic thoughts that prevent you from fulfilling, or even allowing yourself to conceive of, your goals and dreams. Chandler's new edition also tunes, polishes, and strengthens the many popular and inspiring chapters from previous editions of this book, making them even more useful and relevant in today's rapidly changing, globalized world. The old psychological models that focused on past hurts and traumatic memories have given way to exciting new breakthroughs, like Dr. Martin Seligman's work on post-traumatic strength and Dr. George Pransky's work on human beings' innate resilience and well-being. No more fixating on psychic wounds that occurred in childhood. Chandler's new revision looks at the work of both of those pioneers and makes optimism available to people who never believed they could reinvent their old ways of being. ungekürzt.

    The New Me
    "[A] definitive work of millennial literature . . . wretchedly riveting." -Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker "Girls + Office Space + My Year of Rest and Relaxation + anxious sweating = The New Me." -Entertainment Weekly I'm still trying to make the dream possible: still might finish my cleaning project, still might sign up for that yoga class, still might, still might. I step into the shower and almost faint, an image of taking the day by the throat and bashing its head against the wall floating in my mind. Thirty-year-old Millie just can't pull it together. She spends her days working a thankless temp job and her nights alone in her apartment, fixating on all the ways she might change her situation--her job, her attitude, her appearance, her life. Then she watches TV until she falls asleep, and the cycle begins again. When the possibility of a full-time job offer arises, it seems to bring the better life she's envisioning within reach. But with it also comes the paralyzing realization, lurking just beneath the surface, of how hollow that vision has become. "Wretchedly riveting" (The New Yorker) and "masterfully cringe-inducing" (Chicago Tribune), The New Me is the must-read new novel by National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" honoree and Granta Best Young American novelist Halle Butler.

    How to Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids and Be OK with It: Real Tips & Strategies for Parents of Today’s Gen Z Kids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    Helicopter parent, tiger parent, bulldozer parent, lawnmower parent?Generation Zers have a reputation of being super-entitled, but this attitude is often created by parents who mow down every obstacle in their kid's path, never letting them fail or fall or screw things up. In How to Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids and Be Ok with It, humorist, author, columnist, and parenting expert Lisa Sugarman takes her humanistic approach to parenting Gen Z kids and tells it like it is.Sugarman reminds parents that it's okay (and important) for kids to confront obstacles, it's okay if your kids aren't perfect, and it's okay to say "no". The goal isn't to raise perfect children; the goal is to raise kind, responsible adults, and it's a process.How to Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids reminds listeners that making mistakes and figuring out problems lead to lessons. And the fixating on raising the smartest, fastest, most successful kid will never result in a happy child (or a happy parent). With healthy doses of humor and reality, Sugarman reminds us that our kids were never meant to be perfect, and perfectly imperfect kids can become wonderful, well-rounded adults if we just give them the space and opportunity to grow. How to Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids and Be OK with It is a unique blend of practical, real-life parenting advice from deep inside the trenches with proven clinical strategies, language, and tips from Sugarman's childhood friend and colleague Debra Fox Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW, founder and president of New Beginnings Counseling. ungekürzt.

    The Tyranny of Metrics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
    How the obsession with quantifying human performance threatens our schools, medical care, businesses, and government Today, organizations of all kinds are ruled by the belief that the path to success is quantifying human performance, publicizing the results, and dividing up the rewards based on the numbers. But in our zeal to instill the evaluation process with scientific rigor, we've gone from measuring performance to fixating on measuring itself. The result is a tyranny of metrics that threatens the quality of our lives and most important institutions.  In this timely and powerful book, Jerry Muller uncovers the damage our obsession with metrics is causing and shows how we can begin to fix the problem. Filled with examples from education, medicine, business and finance, government, the police and military, and philanthropy and foreign aid, this brief and accessible book explains why the seemingly irresistible pressure to quantify performance distorts and distracts, whether by encouraging "gaming the stats" or "teaching to the test". That's because what can and does get measured is not always worth measuring, may not be what we really want to know, and may draw effort away from the things we care about.  Along the way, we learn why paying for measured performance doesn't work, why surgical scorecards may increase deaths, and much more. But metrics can be good when used as a complement to - rather than a replacement for - judgment based on personal experience, and Muller also gives examples of when metrics have been beneficial. Complete with a checklist of when and how to use metrics, The Tyranny of Metrics is an essential corrective to a rarely questioned trend that increasingly affects us all. ungekürzt.

    The Growth Delusion: Why Economists Are Getting It Wrong and What We Can Do About It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
    A revelatory and entertaining book about the pitfalls of how we measure our economy and how to correct them, by an award-winning editor of The Financial Times. According to GDP, the economy is in a golden era: economic growth has risen steadily over the past 70 years and shows no sign of stopping. But if this is the case, why are we living in such fractured times, with global populism on the rise and wealth inequality as stark as ever? In this book, author and prize-winning journalist David Pilling demystifies gross domestic product, a tool that measures the goods and services a country produces in a set period. Revered by economists, GDP is considered evidence of a country's success and well-being. Yet GDP is actually, at best, a numbers game, unequipped to deal with the nuances of the digital economy and developing nations. It also lacks moral judgment: such is the drive for growth that heroin consumption is valued more than volunteer work. By fixating on GDP, experts are ignoring alternative models that better reflect reality and ushering in policies that could even harm us. In characteristically clear and lively prose, Pilling draws on a quarter century of reporting to argue that our steadfast loyalty to GDP is informing misguided policies - and contributing to a growing mistrust of experts that is shaking the foundations of our democracy. We live in a society in which a priesthood of economists, wielding impenetrable mathematical formulas, sets the framework for public debate. Ultimately, it is economists who set the agenda for how much we can spend on our schools, highways, and defence; who decide how much unemployment is acceptable and whether it is right to print money or bail out profligate banks. The backlash we are currently witnessing suggests that people are turning against the economists and their faulty representation of our lives. Despite decades of steady economic growth, many citizens feel more pessimistic ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elliot Hill.

    The Girls Are All So Nice Here
    A USA TODAY Best Book of 2021Two former best friends return to their college reunion to find that they're being circled by someone who wants revenge for what they did ten years before-and will stop at nothing to get it-in this "propulsive" (Megan Miranda, bestselling author of The Girl from Widow Hills) psychological thriller.A lot has changed in years since Ambrosia Wellington graduated from college, and she's worked hard to create a new life for herself. But then an invitation to her ten-year reunion arrives in the mail, along with an anonymous note that reads, "We need to talk about what we did that night."It seems that the secrets of Ambrosia's past-and the people she thought she'd left there-aren't as buried as she believed. Amb can't stop fixating on what she did or who she did it with: larger-than-life Sloane "Sully" Sullivan, Amb's former best friend, who could make anyone do anything.At the reunion, Amb and Sully receive increasingly menacing messages, and it becomes clear that they're being pursued by someone who wants more than just the truth of what happened that first semester. This person wants revenge for what they did and the damage they caused-the extent of which Amb is only now fully understanding. And it was all because of the game they played to get a boy who belonged to someone else and the girl who paid the price.Alternating between the reunion and Amb's freshman year, The Girls Are All So Nice Here is a "chilling and twisty thriller" (Book Riot) about the brutal lengths girls can go to get what they think they're owed, and what happens when the games we play in college become matters of life and death.
