    On Settling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
    In a culture that worships ceaseless striving, "settling" seems like giving up. But is it? On Settling defends the positive value of settling, explaining why this disdained practice is not only more realistic but more useful than an excessive ideal of striving. In fact, the book makes the case that we'd all be lost without settling - and that even to strive, one must first settle. We may admire strivers and love the ideal of striving, but who of us could get through a day without settling? Real people, confronted with a complex problem, simply make do, settling for some resolution that, while almost certainly not the best that one could find by devoting limitless time and attention to the problem, is nonetheless good enough. Robert Goodin explores the dynamics of this process. These involve taking as fixed, for now, things that we reserve the right to reopen later (nothing is fixed for good, although events might always overtake us). We settle on some things in order to concentrate better on others. At the same time we realize we may need to come back later and reconsider those decisions. From settling on and settling for, to settling down and settling in, On Settling explains why settling is useful for planning, creating trust, and strengthening the social fabric - and why settling is different from compromise and resignation. So, the next time you're faced with a thorny problem, just settle. It's no failure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Kincaid.

    Here is a revolutionary approach to help you overcome habits, phobias, chronic pain, and other "self-defeating sequences" through the easy-to-use techniques of self hypnosis.

The effect of these techniques is to put the "self" back in "self-help" and to eliminate the many dependencies and co-dependencies that complicate and take the joy out of life.

By devoting a mere 20 minutes each day to this approach, you will literally take charge of your life. The results that can be achieved using these techniques are virtually endless. Hypnosis can: - Increase self-confidence. Increase and focus concentration. Improve memory. Improve your sex life. Enhance creativity. Eliminate headaches, even migraines. Eliminate insomnia. Relieve chronic pain. Slow down and even reverse the aging process. And don't forget that self-hypnosis can be used for two problems plaguing so many people: losing weight and quitting smoking! This revised edition now comes with a 72-minute CD with self-hypnosis exercises designed to improve your self-image, overcome fears, improve your creativity, and much more.

    Life Drawing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min
    In Life Drawing, her gorgeously written first novel, Robin Black unfolds a fierce, honest, and moving portrait of a woman, and of a couple’s life - the betrayals and intimacies, the needs and regrets, the secrets that sustain love and the ones that threaten to destroy it. Augusta and Owen have moved to the country, and live a quiet, and rather solitary life, Gus as a painter, Owen as a writer. They have left behind the city, and its associations to a troubled past, devoting their days to each other and their art. But beneath the surface of this tranquil existence lies the heavy truth of Gus’s past betrayal, an affair that ended, but that quietly haunts Owen, Gus, and their marriage. When Alison Hemmings, a beautiful British divorcée, moves in next door, Gus, feeling lonely and isolated, finds herself drawn to Alison, and as their relationship deepens, the lives of the three neighbors become more and more tightly intertwined. With the arrival of Alison’s daughter, Nora, the emotions among them grow so intense that even the slightest misstep has the potential to do irrevocable harm to them all. With lyrical precision and taut, suspenseful storytelling, Black steadily draws us deeper into a world filled with joys and darkness, love and sorrows, a world that becomes as real as our own. Life Drawing is a novel as beautiful and unsparing as the human heart. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.

    In Due Time: A Novella: Morna's Legacy Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min
    Everything happens in its time. For Jeffrey Oakes, life in the seventeenth century hasn't been the thrilling change of pace he hoped it would be. The lack of power tools, better hygiene, and cold beer has him yearning for the luxuries of his modern-day life. It might all be bearable if he had someone to maneuver the cultural differences and minimal conveniences with-someone with whom he could make a life. But among the Scottish countryside, with women so different from himself, he knows his chances of finding such a woman are small. If only Morna could work her magic for him like she has done for so many others. Kathleen Carter's life is changing. With enough money now saved to fulfill her dream of restoring the castle she inherited, her job as housemaid is coming to an end. All she wants now is for moving day to arrive so that she can get to Scotland. She knows she'll have no time for much of a personal life for the next few years, but that's okay. The ruined castle will take all of the love and attention she has to give. Or so she thinks. Little does she know that a move isn't the only big change life has in store for her and that perhaps her dreams might include more than devoting her life to a big, empty castle. ungekürzt.

Feeling burnt out after devoting excessive effort to her job - with none left for her family - writer Shauna Niequist committed to making a life change. From then on, she was going to slow down, accept imperfection, and prioritize peace over productivity, a journey she documents in her self-help memoir, Present Over Perfect.

What does this ZIP Reads summary include? A synopsis of the original book Key takeaways that distill the most important lessons Analysis of each takeaway In-depth editorial review Short bio of the original author About the original book: Shauna Niequist was no stranger to stress. After speeding through life, whizzing between conferences, speaking engagements, and deadlines, squeezing family obligations into whatever time remained, Niequist was left emotionally drained. She began throwing up under pressure and developed vertigo. Still, she kept pushing and pushing forward. This book is her powerful response to her own obsession with achievement. It’s about saying no sometimes, slowing down, choosing relationships over accomplishments, letting go of dependence on productivity, and experiencing the richness life has to offer. It’s about accepting that God’s love is not contingent upon success and is not diminished by failure. It’s about finally exchanging perfection for reality and learning to be happy with the trade. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: L.K. Negron.

    Heaven's Price: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 170min
    Number one New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown has created a sensation with her contemporary novels. In Heaven’s Price she offers a sexy, tender, and funny story about a woman who thinks she knows her destiny, until she learns that her fate - and her heart - have something else in store. Blair Simpson embraces a life most people merely dream about. Devoting her nights - as well as her days - to dancing in the chorus line of Broadway musicals and in occasional TV commercials, she has never considered another career. But when an injury sends her to a small town for six long months of recuperation, she finds herself surrounded by couples who are raising families and building dreams together. And there she meets a man who forces her to come to terms with a part of herself she has long denied.   From Blair’s first encounter with her new landlord, Sean Garrett, the powerful sexual attraction between them catches her off guard. For the first time she’s unable to lose herself in dancing, as Sean’s passion and tenderness urge her to open her life to him. More than anything, Sean wants to build a future with fiery, raven-haired Blair. But Blair’s own passion for dance has ruled her for so long, she may not be able to break its hold - even if it costs her the love she had thought she’d never find.   “Ms. Brown’s larger-than-life heroes and heroines make you believe all the warm, wonderful, wild things in life.” (Rendezvous)  Language: English.
