    It Worked For Me Unabridged: In Life and Leadership , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
    It Worked for Me is filled with vivid experiences and lessons learned that have shaped the legendary career of the four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell. At its heart are Powell's "Thirteen Rules" - such as "Get mad, then get over it" and "Share credit" - that introduce his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and, above all, respect for others. A natural storyteller, Powell offers warm and engaging parables with wise advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. "Trust your people," he counsels as he delegates presidential briefing responsibilities to two junior State Department desk officers. "Do your best - someone is watching," he advises those just starting out, recalling his own teenage job mopping floors in a factory. Powell combines the insight he gained in the military and four presidential administrations with lessons from his immigrant-family upbringing in the Bronx and his training in the ROTC. The result is a powerful portrait of a leader who is reflective, self-effacing, and grateful for everyone he works with. A brilliant and original blueprint for leadership, Colin Powell's It Worked for Me is bound to inspire, move, and surprise readers. Includes an interview with the author. ungekürzt.

    Inheriting Edith: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    From the author of Driving Lessons, Saving Ruth, and Balancing Acts comes a poignant breakout novel about a single mother who inherits a beautiful beach house with a caveat - she must take care of the ornery elderly woman who lives in it. For years Maggie Sheets has been an invisible hand in the glittering homes of wealthy New York City clients, scrubbing, dusting, mopping, and doing all she can to keep her head above water as a single mother. Everything changes when a former employer dies, leaving Maggie a staggering inheritance - a house in Sag Harbor. The catch? It comes with an inhabitant: the deceased's 82-year old mother, Edith. Edith has Alzheimer's - or so the doctors tell her - but she remembers exactly how her daughter, Liza, could light up a room or bring dark clouds in her wake. And now Liza's gone by her own hand, and Edith has been left - like a chaise or strand of pearls - to a poorly dressed young woman with a toddler in tow. Maggie and Edith are both certain this arrangement will be an utter disaster. But as summer days wane, a tenuous bond forms, and Edith, who feels the urgency of her diagnosis, shares a secret that she's held close for five decades, launching Maggie on a mission that might just lead them both to what they are looking for. ungekürzt.

    More than One Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    For fans of Scott Turow or William Diehl comes this stunning debut from a remarkably talented new writer. It takes the familiar genre of legal thriller genre and adds subtle notes of psychological suspense and horror. A twisty, powerful tale of an idealistic young lawyer assigned to defend a childhood acquaintance from a murder charge, all while facing personal tragedies of his own.  After the narrator is forced to resign his position as a Navy JAG, he takes a position as a criminal defense attorney with a charismatic county public defender known for reckless behavior. When his boss dies in a car accident, Narrator is left alone to continue taking on clients. Shortly thereafter, he's assigned the case of Scotty Watts, a high-school classmate charged with murder. Scotty was found mopping up a pool of blood on the floor of his cabin and doesn't remember anything about the evening in question. As Narrator earnestly works the case, his mind starts to unravel, and visions begin to distort his reality. With his client refusing to plead guilty, the narrator pulls every loose thread on the case to determine the truth of what happened, and what he finds shocks him to the core. Filled with conspiracy theories, twists, turns, and 11th-hour evidentiary discoveries, More Than One Truth is a unique story about shattered idealism, the conflicted emotional bond to the place we call home, and the pernicious effect of loneliness. ungekürzt.

    “Ops, this is Trix Hunter. Confirming my party of six is go.” “Understood, Keeper 7. Be careful down there.” Beneath a dome in remote China lies a rift to another dimension. To a deep, dark dungeon filled with monsters and magic. Its levels can be explored by scientists, treasure hunters, and adventurers - by anyone willing to pay DragonCorp a million dollars a pop. The question is, how deep dare they go and hope to survive? Trix Hunter knows - as a dungeon keeper she’s spent years mopping up the blood. But after Trix discovers the dungeon is inexplicably expanding, she finds herself forced to travel deeper than anyone has ever been. Hunter becomes hunted by a DragonCorp corrupted by an ancient evil, one intent on escaping a prison built for it long ago. To stop the so-called Godleech, Trix must band together with a drunk, an old man, and a brother thought lost to the depths. Only they and a besieged other-dimensional army have any hope of stopping two worlds merging and transforming both into a living hell. The forces of evil are massing. The clock is ticking. This is no game. “...a splendid adventure story and a fabulous work of fantasy...” - British Fantasy Society Journal on Seven Cities Of Old “...unashamedly pulp, reminding me of such genre greats as Michael Moorcock and Edgar Rice Burroughs...” - San Francisco Book Review on Engines Of The Apocalypse ungekürzt.

    Permission to Screw Up: How I Learned to Lead by Doing (Almost) Everything Wrong , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 331min
    The inspiring, unlikely, laugh-out-loud story of how one woman learned to lead - and how she ultimately succeeded, not despite her many mistakes, but because of them. This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they're mopping floors and scrubbing toilets. It's the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead. Hadeed unintentionally launched Student Maid while attending college 10 years ago. Since then, Student Maid has employed hundreds of students and is widely recognized for its industry-leading retention rate and its culture of trust and accountability. But Kristen and her company were no overnight sensation. In fact they were almost nothing at all. Along the way, Kristen got it wrong almost as often as she got it right. Giving out hugs instead of feedback, fixing errors instead of enforcing accountability, and hosting parties instead of cultivating meaningful relationships were just a few of her many mistakes. But Kristen's willingness to admit and learn from those mistakes helped her give her people the chance to learn from their own screw-ups, too. Permission to Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders and organizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting rather than waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious account of her own struggles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our failures and proves that we'll be better leaders when we do. ungekürzt.
