Summary: Crush It!: By Gary Vaynerchuk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min

Now is the time to turn your hobby or passion into a career - here is a guide to taking an obsession you have and learning how to make your living from doing it. The Internet has revolutionized entrepreneurship so that anyone with enough imagination and effort can build a career out of virtually anything in which they are interested. The author of the original book teaches people that anything you dream can become a business. Passion is everything. Happiness is nothing more than knowing your passion and having the willingness to work as much as you can toward that passion. Gary Vaynerchuk himself began with only rudimentary technology skills, and yet it was through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr that he built a highly influential and profitable brand - he took his father's liquor business worth four million dollars and skyrocketed revenues to 50 million dollars. Unlike many business owners and top influencers, Vaynerchuk advises not to measure your success based on how much money you make, but by how happy you are with your work.

Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min

In Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol, award-winning journalist Anne Dowsett Johnston combines in-depth research with her own personal story of recovery, and delivers a groundbreaking examination of a shocking yet little recognized epidemic threatening society today: the precipitous rise in risky drinking among women and girls. With the feminist revolution, women have closed the gender gap in their professional and educational lives. They have also achieved equality with men in more troubling areas as well. In the U.S. alone, the rates of alcohol abuse among women have skyrocketed in the past decade. DUIs, 'drunkorexia' (choosing to limit eating to consume greater quantities of alcohol), and health problems connected to drinking are all rising - a problem exacerbated by the alcohol industry itself. Battling for women's dollars and leisure time, corporations have developed marketing strategies and products targeted exclusively to women. Equally alarming is a recent CDC report showing a sharp rise in binge drinking, putting women and girls at further risk. As she brilliantly weaves in-depth research, interviews with leading researchers, and the moving story of her own struggle with alcohol abuse, Johnston illuminates this startling epidemic, dissecting the psychological, social, and industry factors that have contributed to its rise, and exploring its long-lasting impact on our society and individual lives. ungekürzt.

Don't Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min

Can man live on fast food alone? Morgan Spurlock tried to do just that. For 30 days, he ate nothing but three "squares" a day from McDonald's as part of an investigation into the effects of fast food on American health. The resulting documentary won him resounding applause and a worldwide release that broke box-office records. Audiences were captivated by Spurlock's experiment, during which he gained 25 pounds, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and his libido all but disappeared. But this story goes far beyond Spurlock's good-humored "Mc-Sickness". He traveled across the country, into schools, hospitals, and people's homes, to investigate school lunch programs, the marketing of fast food, and the declining emphasis on health and physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive, and what Americans can do to turn the rising tide of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes that have accompanied its ever-growing popularity. He interviewed experts in 20 U.S. cities, from surgeons general and kids to lawmakers and marketing gurus who share their research, opinions, and "gut feelings" on our ever-expanding girth and what we can all do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions. In this groundbreaking, hilarious book, "benevolent muckraker" Morgan Spurlock debuts a wry investigative voice that will appeal to anyone interested in the health of our country, our children, and ourselves. ungekürzt.

The Wow Factor: How I Turned One Idea and My Unbridled Enthusiam into a Golf Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min

In the early years of Adams Golf, entrepreneur Barney Adams labored in obscurity. He collected six patents for his golf products, manufacturing fine equipment but enjoying no sales. Everything changed for him and his company in 1996, though, when he invented the Tight Lies fairway wood. Working as a custom fitter, his customers repeatedly asked for a club they could play from "long iron" distance, from 180 to 220 yards to the green. Adams knew the technical secret was to lower the club's center of gravity. He did this by designing the traditional head shape upside down, which not only lowered the center of gravity, but also increased the hitting surface. The result was a club that was easier to hit, and suddenly Adams and his club, after years of diligent work, became overnight sensations. As lean as those early years of Adams Golf were, the amazing success of Tight Lies more than made up for them. Sales skyrocketed beyond Adams's wildest expectations, and earned Adams Golf two placements on the Inc. "500 Fastest-Growing Small Companies" list, an Industry Week Top 25 Award for Growing Manufacturing Companies, several golf industry awards, and led to the largest IPO in the history of the golf industry in 1998. This is Barney's unvarnished story of how he made this happen, and how you, too, can make your entrepreneurial dreams come true. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Backman.

Nutritional Grail: Ancestral Wisdom, Breakthrough Science, and the Dawning Nutritional Renaissance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min

How did 2.3 billion people become overweight? How did heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative diseases become the leading causes of death worldwide? Our ancestors, especially our distant, Paleolithic ancestors, before the advent of agricultural, enjoyed remarkably robust health. What went wrong? During the 20th century - the Dark Ages of nutrition - flawed nutritional theories gained widespread acceptance, prompting radical departures from traditional foods and time-honored food processing techniques. Sugar consumption skyrocketed; proinflammatory vegetable oils replaced nourishing animal fats; processed foods became commonplace. In this groundbreaking book, Christopher Clark explores the social and economic forces enabling these changes while thoroughly and lucidly explaining modern scientific perspectives on fat metabolism, cholesterol, fructose metabolism, gluten, detoxification, and many other important nutritional subjects. Nutritional Grail offers life-transforming knowledge regarding what to eat, why to eat it, and how to prepare it - including 100 simple, delicious recipes. Like the original 12th-century grail story, this knowledge comes through asking questions, serving others, and serving one's higher Self. While laying out a comprehensive strategy for effortless weight loss, improved digestion, and increased energy, Clark convincingly suggests a nutritional renaissance, propelled by science and guided by the wisdom of our ancestors, is finally dawning.

Paleo Diet for Quick Weight Loss: The 30-Day Healthy Plan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to lose weight with the paleo diet. The food manufacturing industry has indeed improved a lot and rapidly over the past couple of centuries, and that might seem like a good thing. However, the evolution of our nutritional needs and digestive systems has not been able to keep up.As a result, modern problems like cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity have emerged while we have been experiencing major changes in our diet. Clearly, our ancestors had fewer instances of obesity whose rate has skyrocketed in the past two decades (among other mental and physical problems) yet physiologically, we are still the same as them.Unfortunately, we seem to be very good at storing fat today because our bodies are still the ones that evolved to adapt to an erratic and inconsistent food supply but we continue to ignore that.We continue to assume and live as though we were made for our current environment that provides an excessive supply of food, most of which, incidentally, is toxic and unhealthy. We continue to eat foods that our bodies have not evolved to digest such foods. Hence, the goal of the Paleo diet is to help you learn how to eat just as our ancestors did.In this book, you will learn more about the paleo diet, how it helps with weight loss and some recipes to get you started.Are you ready to dig deep into the world of paleo diet?Buy this book now! ungekürzt.
