The Fuzzy and the Techie: Why the Liberal Arts Will Rule the Digital World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
A finalist for the 2016 Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize A leading venture capitalist offers surprising revelations on who is going to be driving innovation in the years to come. Scott Hartley first heard the terms fuzzy and techie while studying political science at Stanford University. If you majored in the humanities or social sciences, you were a fuzzy. If you majored in the computer sciences, you were a techie. This informal division has quietly found its way into a default assumption that has misled the business world for decades: that it's the techies who drive innovation. But in this brilliantly contrarian book, Hartley reveals the counterintuitive reality of business today: it's actually the fuzzies - not the techies - who are playing the key roles in developing the most creative and successful new business ideas. They are often the ones who understand the life issues that need solving and offer the best approaches for doing so. It is they who are bringing context to code, and ethics to algorithms. They also bring the management and communication skills, the soft skills that are so vital to spurring growth. Hartley looks inside some of today's most dynamic new companies, reveals breakthrough fuzzy-techie collaborations, and explores how such collaborations are at the center of innovation in business, education, and government, and why liberal arts are still relevant in our techie world. ungekürzt.

Take It Down a Notch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min
If only men were for sale this time of the year. Then I could buy one, use him as a companion for my son who needs a male figure in his life, and then return him once we were all good again. But it doesn’t work that way. A friend mentions a Big Brother Program, and I’m all in. My little one gets what he needs, and I don’t have to sacrifice my freedom and worry about love loss again. The handsome guy they assign my son isn’t at all what I expected. Nor are the warm fuzzies I get when I see him. Come to find out, he’s not there for the best reasons. But me and my kiddo have fallen in love with this unruly, aggressive alpha male. There’s no way to work out the desires bubbling up inside of me and keep my morals in check. And for the first time in my life, I want to make the wrong decision. The selfish one. The one just for my own deep, dark pleasures. To find out that he's beyond wealthy, just like my son’s father was, leaves me cold. I should run far from him. My ex's family made me sign a contract promising to never tell about the baby in my belly. My life was forever changed. Rich people are horrible people. This new love interest is no different. Yet I’m trapped in desire and drowning in need when he’s around. With no way to take it down a notch. Not sure I would if I could.... Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston ungekürzt.

Major Conflict: Southern Chaotic's MC, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 239min
Lily My life has been nothing but a constellation of conflict. Dad died when I was 12, check. Mom died of cancer just before my 18th birthday, check. Married a conceited pretty boy, check. Husband decided that our nine-year marriage was an open marriage but forgot to tell me, check. Moved to Cumming, Georgia, to be closer to my Southern Chaotic family, check. Became infatuated with a man-wh*re who has no problem with being an exhibitionist, check. Crazy ex-husband sending gifts, check. For once, I’d like to have a life that is planned out by me and not the people or ordeals that clash with the life I want. Chase My life was what I wanted until the night I found out I was a father. Being a foster child doesn’t always give you the warm and fuzzies about having a family. I’m a member of the Southern Chaotic’s MC. All I wanted was to ride with my brothers, drink myself into oblivion, and find a warm body of the female variety to spend a few hours with. Now, I have a kid that is anything but the fun-loving kid he should be after being abused by his mother. Learning to be a dad and deal with all the conflicts that rattle my kid is frustrating on its own, but add in the curvaceous blonde that has been placed in my path, and life is anything but delightful. She tries my patience and unmans me without even knowing. For once, I’d like to have my life back to the way it was with the addition of a healthy and happy kid. This is a standalone book, but to better understand some of the situations, you should be familiar with the first book, Minor Glitches. This is meant for an audience 18 and older. There are some scenes that may not be suitable for some listeners. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lacy Laurel, Logan McAllister.

See: Teddy Prescott. ______________________________Ruthie Midona is twenty-four (going on ninety-four) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village.

When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture... so she hands over Teddy, ready for them to send him running. Except Teddy may be about to surprise her - not just by surviving the old women's antics, but by charming Ruthie so much, she starts to remember that there's more to life than work...
