Fling! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min

Is it possible to come of age at 60 or 90? Is it ever too late to fulfill your dreams? When 90-year-old Bubbles receives a letter from Mexico City asking her to pick up her mother's ashes, lost there 70 years earlier and only now surfacing, she hatches a plan. A woman with a mission, Bubbles convinces her hippie daughter Feather to accompany her on the quest. Both women have recently shed husbands, and have a secondary agenda: they'd like a little action. And they get it. Alternating narratives weave together Feather and Bubbles' odyssey. The two women head south from Canada to Mexico, where Bubbles' long-dead mother, grandmother, and grandfather turn up, enlivening the narrative with their hilarious antics. In Mexico, where reality and magic co-exist, Feather gets a new sense of her mother, and Bubbles' quest for her mother's ashes - and a new man - increases her zest for life. Unlike most women her age, fun-loving Bubbles takes risks, believing she's immortal. She doesn't hold back in any way, eating heartily and lusting after strangers, exulting in her youthful spirit. Has Bubbles discovered a fountain of youth that everyone can drink from? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anna Crowe.

Four Types of Problems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 288min

When faced with problems, many business leaders and teams look for familiar and standard problem-solving methods, often creating unnecessary struggle, frustration, delay, and ineffectiveness in solving the problem - if it is ever solved at all! In other words, they keep reaching for the same old hammer as if every business problem were a nail.In Four Types of Problems, continuous improvement expert and author Art Smalley shows you how to break the "hammer-and-nail" trap. He demonstrates that most business problems fall into four main categories: TroubleshootingGap from standardTarget stateOpen-ended and innovation"Organizations and individuals at all levels fall into the trap of having one primary or standard way of solving every problem," says Smalley, who learned problem solving from Tomoo Harada at Toyota's historic Kamigo engine plant. Harada led the maintenance activities that created the stability needed for Taiichi Ohno's innovations in the Toyota production system.Each type of problem category requires different thought processes, improvement methods, and management cadences. Each type has its own sub-system and surfacing mechanism, management cadence, timing, and difficulty level, he explained. One size does not fit all. Situations and training people in tools or techniques only scratches the surface of problem solving.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

Descendant: The Shift Chronicles, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min

Alexandra is having a hard enough time being human, dealing with the unexpected death of her father, and a family that's slowly unraveling in the wake of that death. So she really, really didn't need a werewolf attempting to kill her on top of everything else. But life just sucks sometimes, apparently. Because that's what happens: a vicious werewolf attack leaves Alex infected, confused, and suddenly surrounded by strangers who all claim they want to help her. Now, all she has to do is decide who to trust. Which would be a lot easier if one of those people trying to earn her trust wasn't Kael, a boy who manages to be arrogant, infuriating, and entirely-too-hot-for-his-own-good all at once - and who also might know more about herself than she does. Although, it turns out, that isn't saying much. Because her whole life has been a lie. But now the dangerous truth is surfacing, and Alex suddenly finds herself a would-be pawn in the center of an ancient war between wolves and monsters. A war that will force her to make an impossible choice, thanks to the magic tied to her bloodline. Magic that could protect the entire human world...or leave it to the mercy of the monsters. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Johansson.

Butterfly: From Refugee to Olympian - My Story of Rescue, Hope, and Triumph , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min

Butterfly is an inspiring audiobook about how one woman saved fellow refugees from drowning - and how she went on to become an Olympic swimmer. When young Syrian refugee Yusra Mardini realized her boat's engine shut down as she was traveling from Syria to Greece with other refugees, there was no hesitation: She dove into the water. Surfacing, she heard desperate prayers and sobbing from the passengers in the sinking boat above her. Between the waves, her elder sister, Sarah, screamed at her to get back on the boat. But Mardini was determined. She was not going to let Sarah do this alone. Grabbing the rope with one hand, she began kicking up the black water, inching the boat toward the distant shore. This bold act of bravery saved the lives of a boatload of refugees heading to Turkey from Syria. After her arrival in Greece, Mardini, focused and undeterred, worked toward a lifelong goal: to compete in the Olympics. She succeeded, and competed in 2016 on the Refugee Olympic Team in Rio de Janeiro. Butterfly tells her story, from Syria to the Olympics to her current work with the UN as a goodwill ambassador. Mardini is eager to tell her story in the hopes that listeners will remember that refugees are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, chased from their homes by a devastating war. ungekürzt.
