End of the Good Life: How the Financial Crisis Threatens a Lost Generation - and What We Can Do About It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
Generation Y faces the bleakest economic landscape in modern history. The recent spikes in unemployment and debt, alongside a drop in marriage, home-buying, and childbearing rates, will have long-term consequences for a group that had no hand in creating the financial crisis. For these young adults, the American Dream is moving farther out of reach. Worse still, leaders aren't doing anything about it. Drawing on a wide range of reportage and interviews from across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, Riva Froymovich gives voice to those struggling in this new economy and explains the harm of shortsighted government policies - including initiatives to curb the national debt and key social programs. Through policy suggestions that focus on social enterprise and investment in economic growth, as well as inspiring stories from young entrepreneurs carving out their own way, End of the Good Life presents a deeply relevant read for Millennials, their baby boomer parents, and anyone who cares about the survival of this nation's most important tenet: the opportunity to get ahead. ungekürzt.

What's My Philosophy?: A Story About Making a True Friend, Gaining an Understanding of Yourself, and Learning What It Means to Have a Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min
If you want to experience lasting success in life and business, a personal philosophy is essential. More than an action statement, your philosophy expresses the values that drive your actions. Author and entrepreneur Charles King eloquently illustrates this in his contemporary business parable, which tells the fictional story of 35-year-old CEO Jim Lincoln. Jim's well-known California pet supply company hasn't weathered the recent economic recession well. Given an ultimatum by board president Allen Kline, Jim must turn the company around in three months - or be forced out. Knowing he won't get any support from Allen, Jim hopes that he and his brilliant executive assistant, Donna Randle, can figure out how to right the ship before it's too late. When things seem bleakest, Jim meets George Waddles, a wise, mysterious stranger who offers to help him with his company's issues. Together they explore what it means to have a philosophy, and Jim learns how knowing his foundational values fuel his ability to overcome the challenges he faces at work and home. Be inspired to craft your own philosophy...and experience the dividends in the years to come. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles King.

A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 693min
From best-selling author Amanda Owen come more tales of life at Ravenseat, the remote Yorkshire hill farm she shares with husband Clive, eight children and 1,000 sheep. In A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess she describes the age-old cycles of a farming year and the constant challenges the family faces, from being cut off in winter to tending their flock on some of Yorkshire's highest, bleakest moors - land so inaccessible that in places it can be reached only on foot. Writing with her trademark warmth and humour, Amanda takes us into her life as nine-year-old Miles gets his first flock, Reuben takes up the flugelhorn and she gives birth to a new baby girl. She is touched by the epic two-day journey of a mother sheep determined to find her lamb and gives a new home to an ageing and neglected horse. Meanwhile Clive is almost arrested on a midnight stakeout to catch a sheep-worrying dog and becomes the object of affection for a randy young bull. Funny, poignant and charming, A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess is a must for anyone interested in the countryside and those who farm it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

More Together Than Alone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
The number one New York Times best-selling author and popular spiritual teacher presents a poignant and timely meditation on the importance of community, and demonstrates how we live more enriching lives by cultivating connectedness. At once a moving meditation and an empowering guide, More Together Than Alone is an compelling testament to the power of community and why it’s so essential in our lives, now more than ever. Mark Nepo draws from historical events, spiritual thought leaders, and the natural world to show how, in every generation, our tendency is to join together to accomplish our greatest achievements, from creating education to providing clean drinking water, and preserving the arts. Nepo’s historical snapshots, from ancient times to contemporary examples, show how community creates a light in the darkest of times, and gets to the heart of how we come together in varied and beautiful ways, whether forming resistance groups during the Holocaust or rebuilding after the nuclear devastation in Nagasaki. These inspiring stories teach us that even in the bleakest days, we have the power to create connections and draw strength from one another. Featuring thought-provoking analysis and practical takeaways, More Together Than Alone will help us inhabit a stronger sense of togetherness where we live and in the world so we can achieve our highest potential, as individuals, and as communities. ungekürzt.

Trust and Other Nightmares , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 132min
From time to time when I take a break from researching and writing my thrillers, I write short stories such as the ones collected for the first time in this new anthology, Trust and Other Nightmares. Each of these stories has its germination in nights when my sleep was suddenly savaged by ethereal visions and sounds sufficiently disturbing to wrench me from tangled, sweat-drenched sheets. Some of them have seen a bit of daylight before now, and the last two debut here. All of them are spawned of the dancing skeletons and reanimated corpses that plague the bleakest, blackest hours preceding my blessed dawns. They include: "Trust", without which a murder-suicide pact is merely revenge's favorite recipe "Rougarou", where a terrified boy learns it's never easy to tell monsters from saviors in a desolate Louisiana swamp "Frankie's Last Affair", where we're taught that if a thing is truly art, someone has to suffer for it "Canis", a post-apocalyptic tale where the wolves in sheep's clothing have no lock on cross-dressing "Showtime", in which a famous television psychic medium's dirty secret is he knows there's no such thing as ghosts I hope you enjoy this collection. If it scares you enough to keep you up a night or two, I know just how you feel. As this anthology demonstrates, I sleep well rarely. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roberto Scarlato.
