    Und morgen Santiago: Auf dem Jakobsweg zu mehr Zuversicht und Glück. Mit Multipler Sklerose, Hörbuch, Digital, 261min
    Trotz Multipler Sklerose knapp 600 Kilometer zu Fuß auf dem Jakobsweg gehen? "Warum nicht", dachte sich Samira und brach auf. In ihrem Hörbuch nimmt sie ihre Leser auf ihre Reise mit. Diese führt nicht nur über die grünen Bergketten Nordspaniens, auf wellenumtoste Landzungen und durch verschlafene Dörfer, sondern vor allem auch zu sich selbst: Die Begegnungen mit anderen Menschen, der immer wieder kurz entmutigende Kampf mit den Symptomen der MS und das Überwinden dieser. Nicht nur für Menschen mit einer chronischen Erkrankung, sondern für alle, die einen Schicksalsschlag erlitten haben und nun auf der Suche nach sich selbst, nach Hoffnung, nach einer Antwort sind. Menschen, die Motivation und Mut suchen."Können wir aus uns selbst Kraft und Zuversicht schöpfen? Woher die Hoffnung, den Mut nehmen, wenn alles aussichtslos erscheint?" Dieser und weiteren Fragen geht das autobiografische Hörbuch auf den Grund. Die Antwort auf so viele Fragen liegt bereits in uns. Wir müssen nur lernen, unseren Kopf frei zu machen - und zuzuhören.Mit Anfang Zwanzig wird bei Samira Mousa die unheilbare Krankheit Multiple Sklerose diagnostiziert. Es folgen viele Jahre der Unsicherheit und Angst. Doch irgendwann wacht sie auf und begreift, dass sie ihr Leben selbst in die Hand nehmen muss, um endlich einen positiven und zuversichtlichen Umgang mit der Krankheit zu erlernen. Eines vergisst man schnell: MS ist bei jeder Person anders. Man nennt sie auch die "Krankheit der 1000 Gesichter". Denn: Alles kann passieren - doch nichts muss passieren. Von dieser Erkenntnis angetrieben, gründete Samira Anfang 2017 ihren Blog "chronisch fabelhaft". Schnell startete sie als Mikro Influencerin im Healthcare Bereich durch. Es folgten Artikel über sie im Lisa Magazin, Interviews im RBB Radio (Fritz), Gastartikel bei Refinery29 Germany und auf Pink Compass, Deutschlands größtem Reiseblog für Frauen. Nun bringt sie mit "Und morgen Santiago" ihr erstes Hörbuch heraus, das Mut mach deutsch. Samira Mousa. https://samples.audible.de/bk/rech/000002/bk_rech_000002_sample.mp3.

    Tenants (eBook, ePUB)
    ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2022, METRO, EVENING STANDARD, REFINERY29, COSMOPOLITAN'A must-read' Cosmopolitan 'A major new book on the history and politics of renting' Evening Standard 'There is nobody better placed to write a book that tells the stories of "Britain's housing shame"' MetroTony is facing eviction instead of enjoying retirement; Limarra isn't 'homeless enough' to get help from the council; and for Kelly and her asthmatic son Morgan, another new rented house is a matter of life and death. This is twenty-first century Britain, where millions are forced into the private rental sector - a sector that creates profit for landlords, not safe and stable homes for tenants.In this fierce and moving account, journalist Vicky Spratt traces decades of bad policy decisions to show how and why the British dream of homeownership has withered and the safety net of social housing has broken. Through the lives of those in the renting trap, she illuminates the ways this crisis is devastating our health, communities and political landscape. But, as the Covid epidemic showed, there are also real, radical steps we can take to give everyone the chance of a good home.

    Break in Case of Emergency: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
    “A funny and moving commentary on that point in a woman's life when everything seems to come into question." (Camille Perri, The New York Times) "It's the superb insights and penetrating writing that make this book remarkable... An extraordinary debut." (The Guardian) "Enthralling, sharply observed" (Marie Claire) One of Elle Magazine's 19 Summer Books That Everyone Will Be Talking About One of Cosmo's Reads for July One of Refinery29's Two New Books to Read in July by Brilliant Debut Authors An irreverent and deeply moving comedy about friendship, fertility, and fighting for one's sanity in a toxic workplace. Jen has reached her early 30s and has all but abandoned a once-promising painting career when, spurred by the 2008 economic crisis, she takes a poorly defined job at a feminist nonprofit. The foundation's ostensible aim is to empower women, but staffers spend all their time devising acronyms for imaginary programs, ruthlessly undermining one another, and stroking the ego of their boss, the larger-than-life celebrity philanthropist Leora Infinitas. Jen's complicity in this passive-aggressive hellscape only intensifies her feelings of inferiority compared to her two best friends - one a wealthy attorney with a picture-perfect family, the other a passionately committed artist - as does Jen's apparent inability to have a baby, a source of existential panic that begins to affect her marriage and her already precarious status at the office. As Break in Case of Emergency unfolds, a fateful art exhibition, a surreal boondoggle adventure in Belize, and a devastating personal loss conspire to force Jen to reckon with some hard truths about herself and the people she loves most. Jessica Winter's ferociously intelligent debut novel is a wry satire of celebrity do-goodism as well as an exploration of the d ungekürzt.

    WorkParty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min
    First, we leaned in. Now we stand up. Jaclyn Johnson - the founder and CEO behind Create & Cultivate, the fastest growing online platform and conference for millennial women in business - offers a rallying cry for a new generation of women who are redefining the meaning of work on their own terms: WorkParty. Women who want it all and more, and guess what? They can have it. Jaclyn suffered a massive blow in her early 20s. She was on an upward career climb and confidently moved across the country for a job - and then was abruptly let go. Attempting to turn that closed door into an open window, she launched a company with a trusted business partner. Soon after, she discovered said business partner had made detrimental decisions to the company without her knowledge. Before she knew it, she was in the throes of a brutal business partner breakup. She was only 24. Determined to bounce back, Jaclyn overhauled the mess that was her life, and by the time she was in her early 30s, she had sold a company and launched the much-buzzed about Create & Cultivate platform - and advised and invested in multiple million-dollar projects at the same time. So, how did she do it? In WorkParty, Jaclyn shows how she turned distrust into determination, frustration into fuel, and heartache into hard work - and how you can, too. With stories from leading female entrepreneurs including Christene Barberich (cofounder of Refinery29), Alli Webb, (creator of Drybar), Morgan Debaun (founder of Blavity), Jen Gotch of Ban.do, Rebecca Minkoff, and Kendra Scott, you will learn the tips and tricks from the best in the business while cultivating the passion and happiness you need to succeed. By embracing failure and reconciling your femininity with being a boss, you’ll join the movement that is WorkParty - and have fun along the way. ungekürzt. Language: English.
