The Greatest Job You Never Thought Of: How Anyone Can Find Career Satisfaction and Financial Independence in Sales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 163min
Few job titles carry the emotional charge of "salesman". And yet this widely misunderstood vocation generates more revenue for companies - and creates more opportunity for individuals - than virtually any other job. Millions of people are looking for a better way to make a living, but most would never consider becoming a salesman - even though no other job can offer the same number of available positions, income potential, schedule flexibility, or job security. Thousands of business owners are sure their fortunes could be improved, if only they could "find someone who can sell". But they have no idea how to advertise for, interview, select, hire, train, or manage productive salespeople. And most flounder when trying to sell themselves. All of these people would do well to listen to this audiobook. Originally intended as a how-to manual for career-changers considering sales, The Greatest Job You Never Thought Of has found its most receptive audience among those who already sell - or manage salespeople. Whether you are currently a salesperson, business owner, sales manager, trainer, or recruiter - or just someone considering sales as a career choice - The Greatest Job You Never Thought Of has a message for you: Why there are more positions available under the heading of Sales than any other single skill category The fundamental economic principle that explains why salespeople are able to earn more than almost anyone else in their company Why race, age, sex, education, national origin, or previous career experience have no bearing upon a person's ability to succeed in sales Exactly what is required to succeed in sales and how to develop those skills True stories of sales success in industries as divergent as industrial food service, insurance, professional audio equipment and home kitchen supplies Successful sales recruiti ungekürzt.

Whom Not to Marry: Time-Tested Advice from a Higher Authority , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
The new single woman's Bible that shows how to distinguish Mr. Right from Mr. Right NowFather Pat Connor knows marriages. Having presided over more than 200 weddings and conducted pre-marriage and marriage counseling for more than 40 years, he’s something of an expert. And now he is sharing his wealth of experience with women everywhere on the subject of Whom Not to Marry.Father Pat’s philosophy is simple: A love affair may lead to marriage, but love itself cannot make a marriage work. That’s why it’s important to weed out the bad seed’s before you fall in love. Sounds easy enough, but in the early stages of romance, when infatuation trumps judgment, it can be difficult to see the flaws in your mate and to think rationally about your future. That’s where this book comes in. A heavenly how-not-to, Whom Not to Marry offers timely and time-honored advice such as: Never marry a man who has no friends, for he won’t be capable of the intimacy that marriage demands. Never marry a man who isn’t responsible with cash. Most marriages that flounder do so because of money, a case of ’til debt do us part. Never marry a man who lets you walk all over him. It’s good to have a doormat in the house, but not if it’s your husband.Life may seem random, but there are many things you can do to make sure your life partner is the right one. It all starts with being honest with yourself. Use your good judgment, Father Pat counsels. Know what you want. Know who is worth loving and who is worth marrying. Once you can do that, you’ll stand a much better chance of living happily ever after. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Sachs.

The Myth of America's Decline: Politics, Economics, and a Half Century of False Prophecies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min
A provocative and contrarian work - filled with great lessons from history - that challenges the pervasive notion that America is on the decline. Once every decade, it is "decline time" in America. In recent years, it has been the unstoppable rise of China that has spelled "finis America." What the Chinese juggernaut is today, the Soviet Union ("We shall bury you") was in the 1950s. The Vietnam decade of the 1960s was described as America’s "collective suicide attempt," while in the 1970s, the United States succumbed to Jimmy Carter’s famous "malaise," as the dollar dangerously plummeted. The 1980s unquestionably belonged to a resurgent Japan, the "Rising Sun," whereas in the 1990s, Europe shone forth as an "empire by example." In the naughts, it was "Asia Rising" that became the flavor of the decade. Despite a litany of prognostications, these contenders have all fallen back, one by one. While it may be catnip for the media to play up America as a has-been, Josef Joffe, a leading German commentator and Stanford University academic, compellingly shows that declinism is not a cold-eyed diagnosis but a device in the style of the ancient prophets: "Thou shalt perish, unless…" Gloom is a prophecy that must be believed so that it will turn out wrong. Joffe repeatedly demonstrates how the "economic miracles" that propelled the rising tide of challengers flounder against their own limits. Hardly confined to Europe alone, declinism has also been an especially nifty career builder for American politicians, among them Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan, who all rode into the White House by hawking "the end is near." Effortlessly mixing keen historical insights with brilliant diplomatic and economic analysis, The Myth of America's Decline becomes a remarkable reflection on our nation’s standing in the world and an eye-opening account that challenges the pervasive and now tired notion that America is on the decline. ungekürzt.

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is a bare-faced satire on Dale Carnegie's worldwide best-selling book How to Win Friends and Influence People. It is also a self-help book, but it tackles the issue from the other side. Irving always considered that Dale Carnegie was all wrong when he encouraged people to smile and be optimistic. His philosophy is totally different. For Irving, great life achievements can be made by those who live negatively. In this book you will find advice on how to lose friends and make people hate you so that you will be more productive and successful in your life. This is a self-help book unlike any other. It is the only book that has ever been written to help people dissolve their human relationships in favor of having a better life! According to Irving, some of us are born with ability to make others peeved, but most of us aren't. We flounder about making empty, vapid, pleasing remarks and before we know it we have another "friend" and have invited him to lunch "someday". The trouble with most of us is that we don't talk enough. We let the other person get in his views and opinions and permit him to think we are interested in what he has to say. As a result we have "friends" who "drop in to say hello", corner us on streets to point out what we already know about the weather, invite us to boring dinners, arrange stupid theater parties, and in general ignore the fact that most of us are non-gregarious. Tressler has made a living by teaching people how to talk and tell others what they are thinking. That is every man's trouble - he never says what he thinks when he thinks it. Tressler helped people overcome this through his courses. He has developed a course that is one of the significant movements in U. S. social history, a course that's as real as halitosis and even more lasting in its results. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People was written for those unable to attend his course. ungekürzt.

The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 695min
A clinical neuropsychologist and test prep guru combine cutting-edge brain science with insights from their work with families to make a radical new case for giving kids more control if you want to unleash their full potential. Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives. Johnson runs PrepMatters, an elite tutoring service that teaches teens how to perform better on standardized tests. Stixrud is a clinical neuropsychologist who helps patients suffering from ADHD, anxiety, eating disorders, and depression. Both have devoted their lives to coaching kids and they have hit on a counterintuitive solution to unlocking their full potential: even at a young age kids need to feel that their views matter. They need more agency. A healthy motivation hinges on having a strong sense of control. So how do you do that without giving up all authority as a parent? The Self-Driven Child offers a combination of brain science, the latest discoveries in behavioral therapy, case studies drawn from the thousands of children and teens Stixrud and Johnson have helped over the years, and concrete advice that you can act on tonight to teach you how to unlock your children's potential and set them on the real road to success. We can only drive our children so far. At some point, they have to take the wheel themselves. Those who have never been allowed to make meaningful decisions until then are likely to flounder. The Self-Driven Child will give you the tools to make sure your children navigate with ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kaleo Griffith.
