Beautiful Illusions (Contemporary Romance) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min
Beautiful Illusions is a Cinderella romance with a twist - and what a twist it is! Attorney Iris Snowe drinks too much, eats too much, and spends too much. Her sex life has been as spectacularly unsuccessful as her law practice, so she spends her evenings in her tiny apartment watching bad TV, talking to her cat, and rescuing pit bulls. And her name might be Iris, but it should be Jade. As in jaded, which is how she feels about romance and men in general. So, when a gorgeous and sexy stranger appears in her law office on Monday morning, after a one-night stand the previous Saturday, she doesn't think that he is coming to see her because he is interested. She just figures that she left something behind in the room and he is enough of a gentleman to deliver it to her. How wrong she is. As it turns out, Ryan Gallagher not only looks like a Ralph Lauren model come to life, but is also fabulously wealthy, as he is the son of a prominent billionaire. In other words, light years out of Iris' league. And completely into her, in more ways than one. And so begins the erotic Cinderella romance of her life, with a man who truly loves her. And oh, if it could just be that simple. But, of course, it's not -the fairy tale is fractured, as it is marred by obsession, jealousy, and dark secrets that Ryan has desperately sought to conceal and repress. It turns out that, behind those magnificent green eyes, lies the memories of a past that nobody should ever have to experience. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo.

The Caste War of Yucatán: The History and Legacy of the Last Major Indigenous Revolt in the Americas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
Includes a bibliography for further reading Includes a table of contents When the Spaniards "discovered" Yucatán, they thought it was an island. Although they later realized that it was part of the vast country that Cortés had conquered, they were not very wrong to think of it as an isle, considering the zealous and independent spirit that has characterized its inhabitants then and now. Although it has been part of Mexico for 170 years, it was encouraged by the example of Texas, compelling the peninsula to twice proclaim its independence and create the short-lived Republic of Yucatán. Many presidents in Mexico had to repress the great peninsula that, despite its longing for independence, had a vibrant foreign trade with the world capitals and a privileged geographical location, even as it lacked the abundance of resources that Texas and California possessed. It was especially the cultivation of henequen, a resistant fiber obtained from an agave that’s useful for many industries, that propelled the economic development in Yucatán. This helped interest many capitalists when it came to settling in Mérida, one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico and the Americas, the so-called "white city." As that suggests, Yucatán was not a wasteland when the first shipwrecked, battered Spaniards arrived on its shores. In fact, they found the descendants of an ancient civilization who refused to be conquered and who, when they finally succumbed to the steel and germs of the Europeans, refused to assimilate and instead disappeared into the jungle. By the mid-19th century, virtually all the native peoples of America had been defeated or were fleeing in small bands from canyon to canyon, only for the Maya to lead the last great, indigenous rebellion in the Yucatán, attempting to shake off the white domain initiated through the conquest of Spain. The so-called "Caste War" was a total war, much larger than the skirmishes with t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Houle.

Civilization and Its Discontents, Totem and Taboo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is remembered as the father of psychoanalysis. Civilization and Its Discontents (1930) is one of his key works. In it he considers the conflict between the needs of the individual acting both egotistically and altruistically in the pursuit of happiness and the myriad demands of civilised society and the ensuing tensions this clash of needs and demands generates.Consequently it remains a key text for anyone wishing to understand the breadth and depth of Freud’s thinking on the human condition. His analysis of the modern human’s situation, forced to repress and sublimate innate natural, sexual drives in order to satisfy society’s seemingly endless requirements, and the conflicts and consequences for mental health inherent in this, make it as relevant today as when it was written. In Totem and Taboo (1913) Freud made what he called a first attempt at explaining problems of racial psychology and addressing neurotic symptoms as mental and emotional maladjustments to experience and environment. He hoped thereby to deepen the understanding of the mind by investigating its manifestations in primitive, noncivilised humans as documented by a range of writers and investigators in the scientific disciplines of sociology, anthropology and psychology.The work consists of four essays. This essential text is an ambitious undertaking because in it Freud seeks to unravel the mysteries of myth and religion by investigating the nature and qualities of sacrifice and the sacred, the primal myth and the parts these play in the generation of prohibitions, transgressions, guilt experience and expiation, as states and processes.Freud delves into the work of the great minds of his day, engaging with J. G. Frazer’s The Golden Bough and Totemism and Exogamy, Reinach’s Code du Totemisme, W. Wundt’s Elements of the Psychology of Race and a host of others.He considers the nominalistic, sociolo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martyn Swain.

Master Your Emotions: Life Starts Out of Your Head! A Proven Program to Develop Self-Control, Overcome Negative Thoughts and Manage Your Feelings. How Positive Psychology Can Make You Happier! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 187min
Emotions are never easy to understand. That is because, for most of our lives, we have let them manage us. We haven’t taken the time to understand them because we are too distracted by events that are happening around us.Emotional intelligence is one of the most important things in our lives. Even if we have strong intelligence, if we are not in tune with our emotions, then we cannot live fruitful and productive lives.Instead, we struggle to relate to others around us and don’t have empathy, which can step on the toes of people in our lives. Maybe you don’t have a high EQ, but the good news is, you can develop your EQ and get better at gauging and responding to other people’s emotions.We all have emotional moments. They are what make us human beings. Often, we can be enclosed in our little worlds and not get out of it. We may hide behind our emotions and repress them under the shield of saving face or other things. But if we can express our emotions in healthy ways, then we will feel better and also will have better relationships with those around us.We are busy at work. We have bills to pay. We are worried about our family. But the important thing to realize is that if we do not set aside the time to manage our emotions, then we are always going to be stuck in an endless loop of negative emotions. We will never get the opportunity to break free and truly work towards things that add purpose to our lives and make us happier. And before we know it, we have already wasted most of our lives playing catch-up to our emotions. This guide will focus on the following:Why is it important to master your emotions?What makes emotions so powerful?Theories of emotionsUnderstanding your emotionsThe importance of empathyEmotional competence.

Empath Healing: Guide to Emotional Healing, Becoming a Healer Without Absorbing Negative Energy, Coping Strategies and Survival Techniques for Highly Sensitive People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
When we say the world needs healing we are talking in a more abstract form. Because the reality is, the world is made up of people and it's the people who needs healing and love. No one is an island and no one should stand alone. We can't be rigid when there is so much pain and suffering in this world. People need to be comforted; they need to know that there is no reason that they should go it alone. People need to know that there are others in this world who cares for them if those people are strangers. Every fool knows the ocean contains a drop of water. It takes a wise person to understand that a drop of water also contains the ocean. Empathy is the ability to feel the emotions or energy of other people. While everyone has the ability to feel other people, some are born a lot more sensitive than others. Empathy relies on the intelligence of the heart, teaches us mindfulness, and an understanding of the intricate connection we have to all living beings. Each time you respond to your intuitive empathic sense, you are reaching out to another person and sending a message that you care. What do you say to yourself when you do or say something you regret? Do you give yourself a hard time, criticize and berate yourself and promise you will never do it again - until you do? Empathy allows us to re-perceive our world in a new, fresh way and move on. By move on I do not mean forget, repress, leave behind, but rather, to find meaning, to remember the specialness of what we are, to be with ourselves in a way that engenders growth rather than self-hatred or self-forgetting. Learn how to get beyond this pattern and heal yourself and any other person. Find out why you do some of the things you do and more useful ways to meet the same needs. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Money saving expert will never tell you this, Hörbuch, Digital, 110min
We live in a society that has the main goal to consume more and more, but that doesn't give us more meaning and fulfillment in life. The consuming era is about to end and we are slowly moving to new lifestyle and attitude. My audio book sets up the background for new way of money spending. I am talking about old habits what we consider to be "true", about beliefs what don't work in our favor and drains money out of us. I go deep into beliefs and emotional patterns that control our buying decisions. I speak about emotions, our needs that we try to satisfy with buying stuff, but while we don't know that those needs are we can not satisfy them fully and we feel that we still miss something. Satisfying various needs is not a matter of money it is a matter of consciousness and right decisions. That saving mindset can make more damage then benefit. Consciousness is narrowed and we don't see possibilities to make money. We only see money saving also constant self limiting attach negative associations to money and that is not good for financial success. It is not enough to repress wishes and to fight habits. It is more important to understand why we buy and start changes step by step without force. Saving should be considered as better prioritizing. If you don't buy something it doesn't mean that you haven't got something or limited yourself. You just decided to act differently. That creates the sense of limitation not because we haven't bought something but because now we are not acting as everybody else. So it is not limiting not to have something, it is limiting you not to act as everyone. That is the biggest issue, then it comes down to money saving and better prioritizing. We can easily live without much stuff that we buy but it is very hard for us not to act as everybody does. Mainly we buy stuff not because we truly need it, but because we live in consuming society.1. What this audio book is about. 2. Three over Language: English. Narrator: Aivaras Pranarauskas.
