The Elements of Style , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min

The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. is an American English writing style guide. It is one of the best-known and most influential prescriptive treatments of English grammar and usage, and often is required reading in US high school and university composition classes. The original 1918 edition of The Elements of Style detailed eight elementary rules of usage, 10 elementary principles of composition, a few matters of form, and a list of commonly "misused" words and expressions. This book, printed as a private edition in 1918 for the use of his students, became a classic on the local campus, known as "the little book", and its successive editions have since sold over 10 million copies. This version is based on the public-domain text from 1918, which was originally uploaded to Wikibooks and wikified by Wikibooks: User: Lord Emsworth in 2003. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Reach , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min

Is it easy for you to deliver bad news? Do you look forward to speaking in public? Do you enjoy networking? If you answered no to any of these questions, Reach can help. What often sets successful people apart is their willingness to do things most of us fear. What's more, we have the false notion that successful people like to do these things, when the truth is that successful people have simply found their own way to do them. In Reach, Andy Molinsky breaks down the five key challenges underlying our avoidance tendencies and illuminates the path towards enjoying what you once feared. Short, prescriptive and based not only on the author's groundbreaking research but on his own personal experience, Reach will help you take the thing you are most afraid of doing and make it a proud part of your personal repertoire. ungekürzt.

Focus: Use Different Ways of Seeing the World for Success and Influence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min

We all want to experience pleasure and avoid pain. But there are really two kinds of pleasure and pain that motivate everything we do. If you are promotion-focused, you want to advance and avoid missed opportunities. If you are prevention-focused, you want to minimize losses and keep things working. And as Tory Higgins has found in his groundbreaking research, if you understand how people focus, you have the power to motivate yourself and everyone around you. Showing how promotion/prevention focus applies across a wide range of situations from selling products to managing employees to raising children to getting a second date, Halvorson and Higgins show us how to identify focus, how to change focus, and how to use focus exactly the right way to get results. Short, punchy, and prescriptive, Focus will help you see not just what’s going on around you - but what’s underneath. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Saltus.

Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min

Part psychological study, part self-help book, Finding Flow is a prescriptive guide that helps us reclaim ownership of our lives. Based on a far-reaching study of thousands of individuals, Finding Flow contends that we often walk through our days unaware of and out of touch with our emotional lives. Our inattention makes us constantly bounce between two extremes: During much of the day, we live filled with the anxiety and pressures of our work and obligations, and during our leisure moments, we tend to live in passive boredom. The key, according to Csikszentmihalyi, is to challenge ourselves with tasks requiring a high degree of skill and commitment. Instead of watching television, play the piano. Transform a routine task by taking a different approach. In short, learn the joy of complete engagement. Though they appear simple, the lessons in Finding Flow are life altering. ungekürzt.

In fact, Jonathan writes that "in the book of Genesis, God went green and never looked back."

Rather, it's part of worshipful and obedient living as a follower of God.Green Like God is at once practical, prescriptive, and conversational in tone. Jonathan weaves together surprising truths with the fascinating story of his own journey from enviro-ambivalence to the front line of the creation care movement.Written for a new generation of Christians who are struggling with how to deal with the important issue of creation-care and green living, Green Like God is both highly relevant and theologically sound. This is the book that people of faith are longing for and need today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Merritt.
