The Gravity of the Affair: Being an Account of Horatio Nelson's First Command Upon the Sea and Stars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
Before his victory at the Nile. Before his scandalous personal life made headlines. Before he crushed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar. Before he died a martyr. Horatio Nelson, England's greatest naval hero, assumed his first command, the 12-gun brig HMS Badger, at the tender age of 20. History tells us his first voyages as captain were unremarkable. Yet in the Known Worlds, where sailing ships ply the Void and the mystic science of alchemy works wonders, Nelson's first command goes quite differently. With his brashness and emotions untempered by experience, Nelson's rash actions as captain of the Badger threaten his heroic destiny. The Gravity of the Affair is an audiobook set in the Known Worlds of The Daedalus Incident, with events that tie into the audiobook (though both works may be enjoyed independently of one another). ungekürzt.

Not an easy feat when the same person occupies both roles. Professional, proper Seth is shocked by Eli's brashness, overt sexuality, and easy defiance of societal norms. But he's also drawn to the happy, funny, light-filled man. As their friendship deepens over the years, Seth watches Eli mature into a man he admires and respects. When Seth finds himself longing for what Eli had so easily offered, he has to decide whether he's willing to veer from his safe life-plan to build a future with Eli. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Mindfulness for Kids: A Mindful Parenting Guide for Cultivating Calm, Teaching Self-Regulation, and Boosting Self-Esteem, One Day at a Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min
Mindfulness for Kids Did you know that, in the US alone, over 1.1 million children have been misdiagnosed with ADHD, with 800,000 of them receiving stimulant medication as a result?Brashness, tantrums and short attention spans are every parent’s nightmare. In my practice, I get a lot of parents who can’t even remember the last time they had some peace around the house, uninterrupted conversations with guests, or even a seamless family night out together, without the fits of rage coming from their otherwise little angels. Because of this, many are tempted to go to the doctor to find some kind of medication or pill that could make their troubles go away.But is this the correct thing to do?With the growing misdiagnoses of ADD and ADHD, and the surging of pharmaceutical companies whose bottom lines depend on these diagnoses, bringing your child for testing is something parents are beginning to think twice about.My recommendation?What I and the other experts recommend is starting with behavior therapy first. Mindfulness, for instance, has gone from being a niche spiritual practice to a scientifically proven, cognitive-based approach to teaching your child the art of present awareness, inner peace, and happiness.This is why I have written Mindfulness for Kids. It is to provide parents with a practical guide on how to approach erratic, emotional, and ungrounded behavior from our beloved children.In Mindfulness for Kids, you will:Discover how to effortlessly and seamlessly smooth out your child’s explosive emotions and aggressive behavior.Apply secret parenting techniques only experts know about.Develop strategies to help your child grow their self-esteem and social skills.Discover how food and eating habits affect your child’s mood (and the types of food your child should always avoid).Learn how to become part of ungekürzt.

Culture Warrior , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
Bill O'Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior, and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a "secular-progressive" country. This is a conflict that differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even higher. In Culture Warrior, Bill O'Reilly defines this war and analyzes the competing philosophies of the traditionalist and secular-progressive camps. He examines why the nation's motto, E pluribus unum ("From many, one"), might change to "What about me?"; dissects the forces driving the secular-progressive agenda in the media and behind the scenes, including George Soros, George Lakoff, and the ACLU; and dives into matters of race, education, and the war on terror. He also shows how the culture war has played out in such high-profile instances as The Passion of the Christ, Fahrenheit 9/11, the abuse epidemic (child and otherwise), and the embattled place of religion in public life, with special emphasis on the "war against Christmas". Whatever controversies are roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them, and no one will be in the dark about which side he's on. Culture Warrior showcases Bill O'Reilly at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long. ungekürzt.

Amanda's Awakening: A Sweet, Sensual Journey of Feminine Self-Discovery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min, (USK 18)
A woman's journey of self-awareness and sensual discovery enables her to get in touch with herself and her femininity in a completely new and very gratifying way. As a recent divorcée and newly single mother struggling with the relationship and life she's lost, Amanda is tormented, teasingly, by her younger sister she loves dearly and has always looked up to for her brashness, audacity, and self-confidence Amanda has never known herself. When her incredulous sister suggests the two of them attend "Goddess classes" together, Amanda reluctantly goes along, even as she realizes she's in way over her head and completely out of her own comfort zone. Confronted with the necessity to confirm her own conservative beliefs, the missing ingredients of her past relationship, and the limitations of her own sensual experiences, Amanda unwittingly ventures on a path of self-discovery teaching her to recognize the love for herself she's never quite mastered. Gradually, naturally, Amanda's view of herself and the possibilities around her evolve, due to her sister's embarrassing goading, the class assignments themselves, and even her own curiosities and desire. Amanda's new experiences and courage open her mind to all possibilities and help her learn what it means to be wholly female and quite comfortable with that fact. Letting go of her old ways she'd never before bothered to question, Amanda embraces a new perspective on life, femininity, and self-love. When she finally indulges in her own intense fantasies - even as her mind still struggles to accept them - Amanda discovers just what her life has been missing. Surprisingly intimate and undeniably sweet, Amanda's Awakening is beautiful, affecting, and unforgettable. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Me.
