Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
Award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow reveals the counterintuitive reasons why so many partnerships and groups break down - and why some break through. The best teams are more than the sum of their parts, but why does collaboration so often fail to fulfill this promise? In Dream Teams, Snow takes us on an adventure through history, neuroscience, psychology, and business, exploring what separates groups that simply get by together from those that get better together. You'll learn: How ragtag teams - from soccer clubs to startups to gangs of pirates - beat the odds throughout history. Why Daimler Chrysler flopped while the Wu-Tang Clan succeeded, and the surprising factor behind most failed mergers, marriages, and partnerships. What the Wright Brothers' daily arguments can teach us about group problem solving.Pioneering women in law enforcement, unlikely civil rights collaborators, and underdog armies that did the incredible together. The team players behind great social movements in history, and the science of becoming open-minded. Provocative and entertaining, Dream Teams is a landmark work that will change the way we think about people, progress, and collaboration.

Imagine That: Covington Falls Chronicles, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
Children's author Emily Sinclair was supposed to be the next J.K. Rowling...until her second book flopped and her imagination went on the fritz. Like the storybook heroes of her childhood, Emily sets out on an epic adventure to find inspiration again. Till a dead car lands her in Covington Falls, a small, Southern town with a healing power of its own. Soon Emily is taking up her quest, looking for inspiration driving a mobile library van, as a companion to a crotchety old woman and her insomniac dog, and as a very ungraceful baker's assistant. Of course, what really sparks her romantic fantasies is a valiant hero, though he yields a paint roller instead of a sword. Rugged, blue-collar Nate Cooper has spent most of his life avoiding the printed page. These days, he doesn't have much use for fancy words and certainly not for a slightly off-center writer on the lam. Not when his mother is battling cancer, his little brother has morphed into a teenaged ogre, and God seems to have taken a vacation. On paper, these two would seem the least likely pairing, and a happily ever after nothing but fantasy. But with faith and imagination Emily and Nate are about to write a new chapter that will lead to unexpected love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Becky Doughty.

Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
The best groups are more than the sum of their parts - but why does teamwork so often fail to fulfill this promise? Award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow takes us on an extraordinary tour of the hidden science of team dynamics, revealing the counterintuitive reasons that some groups break out while far too many break down. Examining history-making groups like the Wu Tang Clan and the Russian national hockey side alongside teams whose failures have had lasting impact, Snow reveals the answers, and what the rest of us can learn from the rare teams that do the impossible together. In this stimulating, pacey adventure through history, neuroscience, psychology, sports and business, Snow explores the secrets of the best teams the world has to offer. You'll discover: How ragtag teams - from soccer clubs to startups to gangs of pirates - beat the odds throughout history. Why DaimlerChrysler flopped while the Wu-Tang Clan succeeded, and the surprising factor behind most failed mergers, marriages, and partnerships.

The Shadow Glass (eBook, ePUB)
Dark Crystal meets About a Boy in a race against the clock to save the world in this nostalgia-infused adventure!Jack Corman is failing at life.Jobless, jaded and on the "wrong" side of thirty, he's facing the threat of eviction from his London flat while reeling from the sudden death of his father, one-time film director Bob Corman. Back in the eighties, Bob poured his heart and soul into the creation of his 1986 puppet fantasy The Shadow Glass, a film Jack loved as a child, idolising its fox-like hero Dune.But The Shadow Glass flopped on release, deemed too scary for kids and too weird for adults, and Bob became a laughing stock, losing himself to booze and self-pity. Now, the film represents everything Jack hated about his father, and he lives with the fear that he'll end up a failure just like him.In the wake of Bob's death, Jack returns to his decaying home, a place creaking with movie memorabilia and painful memories. Then, during a freak thunderstorm, the puppets in the attic start talking. Tipped into a desperate real-world quest to save London from the more nefarious of his father's creations, Jack teams up with excitable fanboy Toby and spiky studio executive Amelia to navigate the labyrinth of his father's legacy while conjuring the hero within--and igniting a Shadow Glass resurgence that could, finally, do his father proud.- Shop: buecher

Under His Spell: A Single Dad and a Virgin Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min, (USK 18)
Elijah paced back and forth across the office of Owen Clarke - his lawyer. He felt like an animal caught in the headlights, just waiting for the inevitable blow that would crush him. A whole team of lawyers, and this was the best they could come up with? If it wasn't Owen sitting at the desk in front of him, he’d tell the man - the lead lawyer on his case - to go to hell. But Owen had been a good friend for a long time, since before either of them had found their success. If he said the only option was to make some changes, he didn’t doubt the man for a second. That didn’t mean he had to like it. So he flopped back into the leather chair in front of Owen’s desk. "Tell me," he said with a heavy sigh. "All right. You’ve been Sophie’s sole caregiver her entire life - that’s definitely a point in your favor. But how you’ve been caring for her is what has come under fire." Anger simmered in his veins, but he closed his eyes and breathed deep in an effort to stop it from heating up to an all-out boil. When Addison had showed up at his door two weeks ago, he never dreamed she would take it this far. "The woman hasn’t shown an iota of interest in Sophie since dropping her off and driving away four years ago. She was two weeks old when Addison abandoned her! And yet she can waltz back into town and accuse me of being a bad father?" This was insane. "It isn’t right, but yes, she can. And she’s got a...." ungekürzt. Language: English.
