  Stock Market Investing Mistakes Explained , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min

  Just as with raising children or as with nurturing one's career, "success" within personal investing allows plenty of room for subjectivity. After exploring the common opinions of prominent economic actors, established entrepreneurs, and financial advisors, I have come to define a successful investor as someone who, with a moderate amount of time, devises an investment strategy to achieve financial objectives and personal objectives and who gains access to competitive returns by undertaking a certain degree of financial risk. Upon a careful investigation of recent market trends, investing research, and stock market perception, it becomes apparent that stock-market-specific decision making builds on both objective variables (unbiased reports, facts, financial figures, diagrams), and subjective factors (investors' reactions to quantifiable market indicators, such as apprehension, haste, stubbornness, fear, greed, impatience, etc.). Among the ranks of inexperienced stock-market investors, this overlap renders market actors prone to a number of investing mistakes, some bigger than others. In other words quality decision making in stock trading is not limited to staying up to date with the facts. Decision making is more about learning how to perceive and interpret the information you get in order to come up with conscious, well thought out action plans. Even the most knowledgeable and intelligent stock-market players can succumb to simple mistakes if they base their decisions on pure instinct instead of reasoning. In fact a large majority of mistakes are the consequence of subjective thinking - in other words of letting feelings take control when making decisions. Because of that, before we begin enumerating and discussing the most common mistakes and traps of stock market investing, we will first discuss the behavioral aspects of investing and probe into several important aspects of cognitive psychology. ungekürzt.

  The Soul and the City: Art, Literature, and Urban Living, Hörbuch, Digital, 364min

  These eight lectures are a celebration of humanity and the rich texture of human experience. They are a fascinating focus on the complex artistic representations of city life from the 18th to the 20th century. Join Professor Weinstein as he reveals the portraits of humanity that came from several of the period's greatest artists, writers, and thinkers. Among them: Painter Edvard Munch, who depicts the emptiness of urban living Poet Charles Baudelaire, who celebrates how crowds impact his imagination Author Daniel Defoe, who dramatizes the freedom the city offers people who want to change their identities Author Theodore Dreiser, who views the city as a huge, brutal, industrial machine that systematically grinds up individuals Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, who believes that the city is like the mind: a receptacle for the past, as well as for hidden lives and passions These lectures reveal several vital themes that appear in artists' subjective renderings of urban living: orientation (finding our way), the marketplace (exchanging goods and services), anonymity (experiencing solitude or freedom), encounters (fearing or connecting with others), history (maintaining contact with other times), and cultures (entering the cities' ever-changing cultural forms). Why use art as a guide to city life? According to Professor Weinstein, "Art usually supports what we learn from scientific studies of urban life. Art provides us with something social science cannot: a subjective rendering of city experience that is not quantifiable. Such a depiction includes our fears, desires, and dreams. Art serves as a record for these experiences." PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

  Heart Rate Variability: Using Biometrics to Improve Outcomes in Trauma-Informed Organizations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min

  How do you quantify the mental, physical, social, and cognitive health of people and organizations? Heart rate variability or HRV is the answer. HRV is a biometric that measures the differences in successive heartbeats. While simple, HRV provides an incredible amount of information on the health of our autonomic nervous system and brain. In recent years, HRV variability monitors have become smaller and very affordable. A simple smartphone application takes the data from the monitors, applies algorithms, and provides users with accurate data on their mental, physical, social, and cognitive health and wellness. Heart Rate Variability explores how professionals and organizations can implement HRV to track the psychological, social, and physical health of those they serve, their staff, and the organization. Daily HRV measurements provide insight and focus on self-care. Before HRV, burnout was a relatively subjective measure. HRV quantifies burnout and demonstrates how self-care strategies improve wellness and performance.Staff turnover and high levels of burnout make creating and maintaining a high-performing helping organization extremely difficult. HRV can provide organizations with a daily measure of the health and wellness of their staff, teams, and the entire organization. It provides a quantifiable answer to the question, “What is the organization’s health today”? Getting HRV measures from staff allows managers to support staff self-care and determine the effectiveness of organizational initiatives to improve staff health and lower turnover. HRV also helps management ensure that the organization is positioning interventions and resources in the most effective way possible to improve the health and functioning of those they serve. Increases in efficiency and quality will help organizations create sustainability and show the effectiveness of service, helping to secure future funding.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, ungekürzt.

  Beyond Measure: Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min

  From the director of Race to Nowhere, the popular 2010 documentary on our education system that has become a long-running grassroots phenomenon, and a new film, Beyond Measure, comes a groundbreaking audiobook for parents, students, and educators on how to revolutionize learning, prioritize children's health, and reenvision success for a lifetime. From kindergarteners to high schoolers, millions of American students are being pressured to perform in ways that make them less intellectually flexible, creative, and responsive to today's world. In Race to Nowhere, Vicki Abeles identified a widespread problem in our nation's schools: As students race against each other to have constantly higher grades, better test scores, and more AP courses than their classmates, they are irreparably damaging their mental and physical health. Now Abeles taps in to this same grassroots community across the nation to find the solutions in Beyond Measure, which publishes simultaneously with the release of her new documentary. Pulling from powerful anecdotes and convincing new research, Abeles presents inspirational, quantifiable success stories and shows how anyone - students, parents, and educators - can effect change. Teachers who cut students' workload see scores rise; kids discover their own motivation once parents relieve the pressure to perform; schools that institute later start times have well-rested students who are able to learn more efficiently; and schools that emphasize depth over test prep find students more attentive, inventive, and ready to thrive. It's no secret that our education system is broken, and Beyond Measure inspires parents, educators, and students to take practical steps to fix it - starting today. In so doing, it empowers all of us to redefine learning and success, and to discover the true, untapped potential awaiting our children not just in college but in life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Thinking in Systems: A Primer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min

  In the years following her role as the lead author of the international best seller, Limits to Growth - the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet - Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001. Thinking in Systems is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem-solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute's Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing listeners how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life. Some of the biggest problems facing the world - war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation - are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking. While listeners will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds listeners to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner. In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps listeners avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

  Angel Magick: They Save Your Soul, They Enhance Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min

  The 21st century is the era where anything and everything is considered as quantifiable, while any theory or notion must have a solid scientific proof attached to it before it can even be considered as an option. In this era, the notion of receiving the powers of the angels in assistance for living our daily lives and in an effort to remain unique, separate, and individual human beings seems completely out of date. Yet, it is not so. Apart from any religious doctrines or philosophical beliefs, it is an established fact that there are beings out there with tremendous positive powers, capable of intervening in a person's life and making it more meaningful. However, it is the meaning of one's life that has changed definition. Up to now, it was believed that the angels can turn us toward good and the positive values like love and understanding. While this indeed is so, it has taken a more defined form under the notion of acquiring balance between the good and evil sides of oneself. It is quite inadvisable to try and separate a person from their dark side. It is more likely that they will be destroyed instead of turning toward good. Just like nature and the basic principles of life, the good and the bad must be in balance. To this effect, the angels come to our assistance by bringing out the inner qualities that exist in everyone and lay hidden, bewildered by the rhythms of modern lifestyle and the staples of the "here and now" that demand vast amounts of our energy and our complete focus. Contrary to what many believe, this is not a process that requires ceremonies, chants, and other considerations of the sort. All the above are explored and explained in the contents of Angel Magick. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Paton.

  The Best of the Gallup Management Journal 2001-2007 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min

  Since 2001, the Gallup Management Journal has provided leaders with essential insights into managing the human side of their businesses - their employees and customers. This book features the highlights of the first seven years of the GMJ: more than 50 thought-provoking articles with actionable ideas, grounded in decades of Gallup management research. The Best of the Gallup Management Journal 2001-2007 could not be more relevant today, as executives continue to struggle with the transition into a 21st century global economy. Many leaders have reengineered and reorganized their companies numerous times. But what remains is the biggest business challenge of all: improving and perfecting relationships with customers and with the employees who engage them. More than anything, executives and managers need quantifiable, measurable strategies for making the "intangible" side of their businesses as productive and profitable as it can be. For years, "hard-headed" business leaders and gurus have said that it's impossible to measure these intangibles. The GMJ argues that they're wrong, and this book offers proof. Drawing on interviews with millions of employees and customers worldwide, the articles and interviews in these minutes cover topics such as the best way to get meaningful employee feedback, why customer satisfaction is the wrong measure, the 12 elements of great managing, why most advertising doesn't work, and the impact of positive leadership. A range of voices from within and outside of Gallup is included in these minutes. A Ritz-Carlton executive tells how his company is reinventing its world-class brand, while a leader at Ann Taylor describes how the retailer invests in talent. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman probes how customers think, while one of the inventors of the Internet, Vinton Cerf, speculates on the future of his creation.

  On the Universal Mobility of Individuality, by Means of Natural Entanglement: The (LINE) Hypothesis: Life Instantiated by Natural Entanglement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 636min

  The next fertile undiscovered frontier of science is the study of how the individual (you) naturally inhabit this universe. This topic speaks to the really interesting question of how any living individual came to be where you are in the form that you are. Consciousness, self-awareness, and sentience are evolved attributes had by very few forms of life in earth's ecosystem, yet all are just as alive in nature. Such attributes cannot be relevant to either nature's fundamental implementation of life, to being alive, or to experience. These attributes may enhance experience as they evolve in more complex hosts or species, but the phenomena that establish an instance of life likely brings no experience at all. The universal mobility of individuality is made evident by recent discoveries that describe a cosmos with an abundance of planetary solar systems, of which Earth's solar system is but one. The LINE hypothesis is a groundbreaking complement to Darwin's seminal insights and builds upon existing scientific principles and leverages logic, reason, and evidence to describe the natural mechanisms by which nature implements and distributes life and individuality throughout nature.The only life that has ever existed on earth is the single living cell, in all of its forms. For the past decade, I have committed my mind, my time, and my treasure to revealing the actual natural empirical answers to the age-old questions sought by both science and religion: What is individuality? What is life? What constitutes a living being and the empirical defining underpinnings of life and of every living entity that has and will inhabit this space-time?Individuality is abstracted from any physical form that may play host to a living being. Individuality is the aspect of life that is far more interesting, and eventually, we will discover, is just as natural, real, mobile, quantifiable, and open to scientific inquiry as is one's genetics. Nature did not ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek W. Shetterly. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/140141/bk_acx0_140141_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
