    All You Need Is Less: The Eco-Friendly Guide to Guilt-Free Green Living and Stress-Free Simplicity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    Most eco-friendly books start with terror-inducing lists of the carcinogenic chemicals you are liberally slathering all over every single surface in your house, painting most people as unwitting eco-villains, happily Lysol-ing their way straight to hell. Well, listeners can just relax and unpack the (plastic) bags - no guilt trips today! All You Need Is Less is about realistically adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle without either losing your mind from soul-destroying guilt or becoming a preachy know-it-all whom everyone loathes. It's all gotten kind of complicated, hasn't it? This whole eco-friendly thing seems to have devolved into a horrific cycle of guilt, shaming, and one-upping, and as a result people are becoming exhausted. It doesn't have to be this way. It is possible to take baby steps toward a more Earth-friendly lifestyle without stress, guilt, or judgmental eco-shaming. Top eco-blogger Madeleine Somerville is here with really original ideas on how to save money and the planet. Her ideas are even fun! Somerville has emerged as the voice of reason on urban homesteading that is stress-free, sanity-based, and above all - do-able. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Catherine Force.

    These Trees, Those Leaves, This Flower, That Fruit: Poems (eBook, ePUB)
    A thoughtful new collection of poems, one that deconstructs the deceptively simple question of what it means to be good—a good person, a good citizen, a good teacher, a good poet, a good father. With These Trees, Those Leaves, This Flower, That Fruit, Hayan Charara presents readers with a medley of ambitious analyses, written in characteristically wry verse. He takes philosophers to task, jousts with academics, and scrutinizes hollow gestures of empathy, exposing the dangers of thinking ourselves "separate / from [our] thoughts and experiences.” After all, "No work of love / will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart.” But how do we act on fullness of heart? How, knowing as we do that "genocide is inscribed in our earliest and holiest texts”? Thoughtful but never preachy, Charara sits beside us, granting us access to life's countless unglamorous dilemmas: crushing a spider when we promised we wouldn't, nearing madness from a newborn's weeping, resenting our lovers for what happened in a dream. "Good poems demand to be written from inside the poet,” we are reminded. And that is where we find ourselves here: inside a lively and ethical mind, entertained by Charara's good company even as goodness challenges us to do more.

Use the bathroom in front of them? Never!But then she meets Brock. And to her surprise, she likes him—a lot.Curtis Sittenfeld is one of America’s funniest and most astute cultural commentators.

    A three-in-one bundle of suspense and excitement as missionary kid Kennedy Stern faces more danger, mystery, and controversy than this anxiety-prone college student knows how to handle.

With her parents serving North Korean refugees overseas, Kennedy befriends a loving and highly opinionated pastor, his hospitable and encouraging wife, an eccentric but respectful roommate whose worldview is drastically different from Kennedy's, and a foreign lab partner who's harboring a grave secret he'd do just about anything to keep from being exposed.

    The VICE Quad, Volume 1: Values. Integrity. Character. Ethics. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 131min
    Don't think of them as VICE principles. This little audiobook and its follow-up volume, cleverly subtitled Volume 2, are about VICE: Values. Integrity. Character. Ethics. The audiobooks are called The VICE Quad because quadrilaterals have distinct properties, whether they form a square or a rectangle or a parallelogram or a rhombus or a trapezoid. Deviate in the number of edges or vertices or angles and you cross the line, you no longer have a quadrilateral. It's the same with VICE. Values, integrity, character, and ethics have distinct properties. Like quadrilaterals, there is movement within the properties of VICE, but there are rules you can't break, lines that you can't cross and remain true. These bits of news and short stories and anecdotes and metaphors and parables and allegories simply remind us that the lines exist. There's nothing preachy here, merely the opportunity to consider your edges. I don't always know where to draw my own lines, so I can't know where you should draw yours. But I know this: It is a mistake to use the vagaries of right and wrong as an excuse for bad behavior and poor choices. Rather than following the crowd by seeing how close you can get to a line, why not embrace your values more fully, live with greater integrity, develop a superior character, and always act with unswerving ethics? After all, it is your rhombus on the line. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Slone. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/116066/bk_acx0_116066_sample.mp3.

    This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 644min
    A New York Times correspondent shares his financial successes and mishaps, offering an everyman's guide to straightening out your money once and for all. Money management is one of our most practical survival skills - and also one we've convinced ourselves we're either born with or not. In reality, financial planning can be learned, like anything else. Part financial memoir and part research-based guide to attaining lifelong security, This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order is the audiobook that everyone who has never wanted a preachy financial guide has been waiting for. John Schwartz and his wife, Jeanne, are pre-retirement workers of an economic class well above the poverty line, but well below the one percent. Sharing his own alternately harrowing and hilarious stories - from his brush with financial ruin and bankruptcy in his 30s to his short-lived budgeted diet of cafeteria french fries and gravy - John will walk you through his own journey to financial literacy, which he admittedly started a bit late. He covers everything from investments to retirement and insurance to wills (at 58, he didn't have one!), medical directives, and more. Whether you're a college grad wanting to start out on the right foot or you're approaching retirement age and still wondering what a 401(K) is, This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order will help you become your own best financial adviser. ungekürzt.
