    Lee Kuan Yew: The Grand Master’s Insights on China, United States, and the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
    When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West. American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have welcomed him to the White House; British prime ministers from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair have recognized his wisdom; and business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers key insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee's voluminous published writings and presents them in an engaging question and answer format. Lee offers his assessment of China's future, asserting, among other things, that "China will want to share this century as co-equals with the U.S." He affirms the United States' position as the world's sole superpower but expresses dismay at the vagaries of its political system. He offers strategic advice for dealing with China and goes on to discuss India'sfuture, Islamic terrorism, economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee does not pull his punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on multiculturalism, the welfare state, education, and the free market. This audiobook belongs on the reading list of every world leader - including the one who took the oath of office on January 20, 2013. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Hacked World Order: How Nations Fight, Trade, Maneuver, and Manipulate in the Digital Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    The Internet today connects roughly 2.7 billion people around the world, and booming interest in the "Internet of things" could result in 75 billion devices connected to the web by 2020. The myth of cyberspace as a digital utopia has long been put to rest. Governments are increasingly developing smarter ways of asserting their national authority in cyberspace in an effort to control the flow, organization, and ownership of information. In The Hacked World Order, Adam Segal shows how governments use the web to wage war and spy on, coerce, and damage each other. Israel is intent on derailing the Iranian nuclear weapons program. India wants to prevent Pakistani terrorists from using their Blackberries to coordinate attacks. Brazil has plans to lay new fiber cables and develop satellite links so its Internet traffic no longer has to pass through Miami. China does not want to be dependent on the West for its technology needs. These new digital conflicts have as yet posed no physical threat - no one has ever died from a cyberattack - but they serve to undermine the integrity of complex systems like power grids, financial institutions, and security networks. Segal describes how cyberattacks have the potential to produce unintended and unimaginable problems for anyone with an Internet connection and an email account. State-backed hacking initiatives can sabotage trade strategies, steal intellectual property, sow economic chaos, and paralyze whole countries. The Hacked World Order exposes how the Internet has ushered in a new era of geopolitical maneuvering and reveals its tremendous and terrifying implications for our economic livelihood, security, and personal identity. ungekürzt.

    American Indians, American Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 717min
    Baffled by the stereotypes presented by Hollywood and much historical fiction, many other Americans find the contemporary American Indian an enigma. Compounding their confusion is the highly publicized struggle of the contemporary Indian for self-determination, lost land, cultural preservation, and fundamental human rights - a struggle dramatized both by public acts of protest and by precedent-setting legal actions. More and more, the battles of American Indians are fought - and won - in the political arena and the courts.American Indians, American Justice explores the complexities of the present Indian situation, particularly with regard to legal and political rights. It is the first book to present an overview of federal Indian law in language accessible to the layperson. Remarkably comprehensive, it is destined to become a standard source book for all concerned with the plight of the contemporary Indian.Beginning with an examination of the historical relationship of Indians and the courts, the authors describe how tribal courts developed and operate today, and how they relate to federal and state governments. They define such key legal concepts as tribal sovereignty and Indian Country. By comparing and contrasting the workings of Indian and non-Indian legal institutions, the authors illustrate how Indian tribes have adapted their customs, values, and institutions to the demands of the modern world. Describing the activities of attorneys and Indian advocates in asserting and defending Indian rights, they identify the difficulties typically faced by Indians in the criminal and civil legal arenas and explore the public policy and legal rights of Indians as regards citizenship, voting rights, religious freedom, and basic governmental services. ungekürzt.

    It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
    Fascinating patient stories and dynamic exercises help you connect to healing emotions, ease anxiety and depression, and discover your authentic self. Sara suffered a debilitating fear of asserting herself. Spencer experienced crippling social anxiety. Bonnie was shut down, disconnected from her feelings. These patients all came to psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel seeking treatment for depression, but in fact none of them were chemically depressed. Rather, Jacobs Hendel found that they'd all experienced traumas in their youth that caused them to put up emotional defenses that masqueraded as symptoms of depression. Jacobs Hendel led these patients and others toward lives newly capable of joy and fulfillment through an empathic and effective therapeutic approach that draws on the latest science about the healing power of our emotions. Whereas conventional therapy encourages patients to talk through past events that may trigger anxiety and depression, accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), the method practiced by Jacobs Hendel and pioneered by Diana Fosha, PhD, teaches us to identify the defenses and inhibitory emotions (shame, guilt, and anxiety) that block core emotions (anger, sadness, fear, disgust, joy, excitement, and sexual excitement). Fully experiencing core emotions allows us to enter an openhearted state where we are calm, curious, connected, compassionate, confident, courageous, and clear. In It's Not Always Depression, Jacobs Hendel shares a unique and pragmatic tool called the Change Triangle - a guide to carry you from a place of disconnection back to your true self. In this audiobook, Jacobs Hendel teaches lay listeners and helping professionals alike:  Why all emotions - even the most painful ones - have value. How to identify emotions and the defenses we put up against them. How to get to the root of anxiety - the most common mental illness of our time ungekürzt.

    Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
    When Linda Babcock asked why so many male graduate students were teaching their own courses and most female students were assigned as assistants, her dean said: "More men ask. The women just don't ask." It turns out that whether they want higher salaries or more help at home, women often find it hard to ask. Sometimes they don't know that change is possible--they don't know that they can ask. Sometimes they fear that asking may damage a relationship. And sometimes they don't ask because they've learned that society can react badly to women asserting their own needs and desires. By looking at the barriers holding women back and the social forces constraining them, Women Don't Ask shows women how to reframe their interactions and more accurately evaluate their opportunities. It teaches them how to ask for what they want in ways that feel comfortable and possible, taking into account the impact of asking on their relationships. And it teaches all of us how to recognize the ways in which our institutions, child-rearing practices, and unspoken assumptions perpetuate inequalities--inequalities that are not only fundamentally unfair but also inefficient and economically unsound. With women's progress toward full economic and social equality stalled, women's lives becoming increasingly complex, and the structures of businesses changing, the ability to negotiate is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Drawing on research in psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior as well as dozens of interviews with men and women from all walks of life, Women Don't Ask is the first book to identify the dramatic difference between men and women in their propensity to negotiate for what they want. It tells women how to ask, and why they should. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sasha Dunbrooke. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/005010/bk_adbl_005010_sample.mp3.

    The Ghosts of Wales: A Collection of Ghost Stories Across the Welsh Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
    “To be born in Wales, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but, with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul, is a privilege indeed.” (Brian Harris)Wales is a fascinating and ancient land filled with history. Prehistoric ruins, medieval castles, and old coaching inns are only some of the historic sites people visit. The Welsh have their distinct language and customs and have always felt themselves to be a people apart from the neighboring English. This division goes back to the fifth century, when the ancient Britons fled west in the face of the Anglo-Saxon incursion. The Anglo-Saxons were made up of three tribes - the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes - from what is now Denmark and Northern Germany. These tribes took advantage of the Roman legion's departure to attack vulnerable Britons, taking over England until the Britons in Wales defied them. This defiance continued into the Middle Ages, and numerous wars occurred as successive English kings tried and eventually succeeded in asserting their will over the rebellious country.With such a storied and violent past, it is no surprise Wales has many tales of ghosts. The Ghosts of Wales: A Collection of Ghost Stories Across the Welsh Nation is a collection of such tales, just a few among the thousands of local legends and modern sightings that make people think Wales is one of the most haunted countries in the world. It is part of a collection of other titles authored by Sean McLachlan, including The Ghosts of England: A Collection of Ghost Stories Across the English Nation and The Ghosts of Ireland: A Collection of Ghost Stories Across the Emerald Isle. You will learn about the ghosts of Wales like never before. ungekürzt.

    Assertiveness: Communicate with Assertiveness to Get What You Want out of Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min
    An important technique for achieving what you want in life is through practicing assertiveness. Assertiveness is a style of communicating that emphasizes honesty and respect while standing up for your rights. Being an assertive person means you have no qualms about expressing your needs, opinions, desires, and wishes. At the center of assertive communication is respect for yourself and for other people. Chances are, you struggle with asserting yourself, but it’s really not a difficult place to be if you can apply yourself to improving. One of the keystones of assertive behavior is learning to say “No”. This sends the message that you are not ready to please people at your expense. It may be hard at first, but you eventually grow into it. The voice associated with assertive behavior is neither too fast nor too slow, and it is also not high or small. The perfect voice is resonant which means it is rich and clear. If people have to struggle to hear what you are saying, then you have lost track. Nonverbal cues play a huge role in assertive communication. The most important nonverbal cues are establishing eye contact, having great posture, and practicing active listening. When it comes to the actual delivery, you had better be prepared. Jumbled thoughts and stutters tend to take away from assertive behavior. And when you are challenged, you don’t have to back down like a scared puppy. In the same breath, you don’t have to become hostile. The appropriate way of handling opposition and criticism is to stand your ground, yet respectfully and calmly. This audiobook shows you how to exhibit assertive behavior as a man or a woman, in your relationships, at work, or anywhere that may benefit your life. ungekürzt.

    The Great Equalizer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 611min
    The experts say that America's best days are behind us, that mediocre long-term economic growth is baked in the cake, and that politically, socially, and racially, the United States will continue to tear itself apart. But David Smick - hedge fund strategist and author of the 2008 best seller The World Is Curved - argues that the experts are wrong. In recent decades, a Corporate Capitalism of top down mismanagement and backroom deal-making has smothered America's innovative spirit. Policy now favors the big, the corporate, and the status quo at the expense of the small, the inventive, and the entrepreneurial. The result is that working and middle class Americans have seen their incomes flat-lining and their American Dreams slipping away. In response, Smick calls for the great equalizer, a Main Street Capitalism of mass small-business startups and bottom-up innovation, all unfolding on a level playing field. Introducing a 14-point plan of bipartisan reforms for unleashing America's creativity and confidence, his forward-thinking book describes a new climate of dynamism where every man and woman is a potential entrepreneur-especially those at the bottom rungs of the economic ladder. Ultimately, Smick argues, economies are more than statistical measurements of supply and demand, economic output, and rates of return. Economies are people-their hopes, fears, dreams, and expectations. The Great Equalizer is a call for a set of new paradigms that inspire and empower average American people to reimagine and reboot their economy. It is a manifesto asserting that, with a new kind of economic policy, America's best days lie ahead.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kiff VandenHeuvel.

    7-Day Confidence Challenge: Improve Your Confidence in 7 Days , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    Take Your 7-Day Confidence Challenge: Improve Your Confidence in 7 Days Why are you reading this? Because: You have a hard time asserting and expressing yourself. You have an ingrained shyness and discomfort around people. You have feelings of inadequacy and question your own worth. You have constant worries about what might happen in the future. You have an inability to stand up for yourself when it really matters. Confidence issues can show and manifest themselves in different ways, including, but certainly not limited to these above. A common misconception about confidence disorders is that there's something fundamentally wrong with the people who suffer from them. This statement couldn't be further from the truth - there's only something wrong with the thinking that these sufferers exhibit. That's what needs to be remembered - there's nothing wrong with you, only your thinking. And that's exactly what the 7-Day Confidence Challenge seeks to fix - faulty thinking. As this thorough confidence-booster's title implies, in just seven days you can be an entirely different person, radiating confidence and beaming with positivity. Using a series of well-thought and researched daily tasks, 7-Day Confidence Challenge invigorates listeners to entertain an entirely new style of thinking, feeling, being - and confidence. Easy-to-follow and quick-to-perform, these tasks are far from rushed; although they require just an hour or so of effort per day, the results will be felt - and seen - immediately. A lack of confidence isn't something that you should have to live with - and with 7-Day Confidence Challenge available, you don't have to. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Challenge Self.
