  The Thing About Work: Showing Up and Other Important Matters (A Worker's Manual) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 299min

  Why does a CEO who has already made hundreds of millions of dollars continue to work? Why does a rock star who has made a bundle continue to tour? Why do retirees' miss work as soon as they stop doing it? Why do we all wrestle with our life's work and talk about it incessantly? The thing about work is that we love it, we hate it, we need it, we miss it, we measure ourselves by it, we judge others by it - we are addicted to it. Work often defines us and fulfills us. Yet, today's rapidly changing workplace environment is stressful and confusing to deal with. In The Thing About Work, Richard Moran takes a ground-level perspective on what is happening at work and how to thrive in the new professional world. Through funny, prescriptive vignettes and short essays, Moran finds the "white space" in the company manual - those issues that you encounter every day at work but which are not covered in employee training. He uses hilarious and true stories from his own life and others' to answer questions like, "Should you take your dog to work?" and "How late is late?" and "What is that foreign object growing in the refrigerator?" This very contemporary view of work will prove invaluable for the modern employee. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Andres Pabon.

  The Only Diet That Always Works , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min

  Although the shelves of bookshops groan with diet books, this one is called, mysteriously, The Only Diet. The excuse that Nathaniel Blix gives for claiming this name is that, really, there is only one diet. While other diet books dress up this basic regime in huge variety of ways, what they all aim for-or should aim for-is the same thing, and that's a healthy diet that's right for you. This entertaining little book strips such fancy programmes down to their bare essentials to reveal the basic diet beneath. Blix has removed all the prescriptive stuff about what you should eat for lunch and how many baked beans you can have for your dinner. A diet has to work for you, he says, not for some non-existent average citizen. The Only Diet is surely the most down-to-earth diet book on Earth. It doesn't contain any recipes and it uses only one technical term. Drawing from his own experience-he confesses to being a serial dieter-Blix knows how difficult it is to lose weight. In this book, he makes it easier for everyone to understand how their bodies work and the principles of weight loss. Armed with this knowledge and the zeal that Blix inspires, listeners of The Only Diet are well placed to achieve weight-loss and healthy-living success. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min

  Fifteen years ago, Bronx-born plumber Tommy Rosa died in a hit-and-run incident. Lying by the road, he felt a tug whisking him off into a tunnel of light to meet his divine teacher in heaven. After several weeks in a coma, Tommy returned to Earth to walk again with a heightened sense of connection to one and all. Around the same time, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, an integrative cardiologist, was dismantling the prevailing ideas of preventive pharmacology with his holistic approach to treatment. In their first encounter, Tommy got the intuitive message that Dr. Sinatra had an infection in his hip. Tommy's insight confirmed Dr. Sinatra's own suspicion. When Tommy shared with Dr. Sinatra the divine revelations of healing that he had learned, Dr. Sinatra was shocked - the keys to solving the imbalance of energy that he had identified as the cause of most chronic illnesses were the same as those Tommy was relating. From this intersection of the divine and the scientific, Tommy Rosa and Dr. Sinatra began writing a prescriptive guide for healthy living. In Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth, Tommy Rosa reveals the eight revelations, gleaned from God, that will lead you toward revitalized health, a newfound sense of purpose, and spiritual balance - fully corroborated by Dr. Sinatra's four decades of medical expertise - bringing heaven and Earth a little bit closer. ungekürzt.
