American Legends: The Life of the Kingfish, Huey Long , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
The late 19th and early 20th centuries in America had no shortage of political graft and powerful politicians, but few were as influential or conspicuous as the Kingfish, Huey P. Long. A populist Democrat who hoped to elevate the lower classes in Louisiana, Long accrued massive amounts of power during his governorship, in the process revolutionizing political campaigning. As political scientist V.O. Key noted, Long relied on "patronage in all its forms, deprivation of perquisites, economic pressure, political coercion in one form or another, and now and then outright thuggery....Long commanded the intense loyalties of a substantial proportion of the population... [Supporters] came to believe that here was a man with a genuine concern for their welfare, not one of the gentlemanly do-nothing governors who had ruled the state for many decades." Long survived an impeachment attempt in the Louisiana legislature on charges of abuse of office and bribery, but that didn't tarnish his popularity. Instead, he moved on to a spot in the US Senate after being elected in 1932, where he made waves with his outspokenness in support of progressive policies. After he broke with the Roosevelt administration at the height of the Great Depression, the president called him "one of the two most dangerous men in America," Roosevelt even pushed for a Senate investigation of Long and his political machine back in Louisiana. A fellow Senator quipped that Long was so unpopular among his peers that he "could not get the Lord's Prayer endorsed in this body." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

The Other Mrs Walker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 787min
A mysterious and entrancing story, The Other Mrs Walker is the compelling debut from Mary Paulson-Ellis. Somehow she'd always known that she would end like this. In a small square room, in a small square flat. In a small square box, perhaps. Cardboard, with a sticker on the outside. And a name.... In a freezing, desolate Edinburgh flat, an old woman takes her last breath surrounded by the few objects she has accrued over a lifetime: an emerald dress, a brazil nut engraved with the Ten Commandments - and six orange pips sucked dry. Meanwhile, guided by the flip of a coin, Margaret Penny arrives back at her old family home, escaping a life in London recently turned to ash. Faced with relying on a resentful mother she has never really known, Margaret soon finds herself employed by the Office for Lost People, tasked with finding the families of the dead: the neglected, the abandoned, the lost. Her instructions are to uncover paperwork, yet the only thing Mrs Walker, the old woman in her current case, left behind is a series of peculiar objects. But in the end it is these objects that will unravel Mrs Walker's real story: a story rooted in London grime and moving from the 1930s to the present day, a story of children abandoned and lost, of beguiling sisters and misplaced mothers, of deception and thievery, family secrets and the very deepest of betrayals; in which the extraordinary circular nature of life will glitter from the page. For in uncovering the astonishing tale of an old woman who died alone, Margaret will finally discover her own story, too.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Siobhan Redmond.

Very Common Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min
Most of the general population is not well informed about a common condition affecting the liver, that affects an estimated 29 million people in America alone. Up to 6.5 million of these people, will go on to experience inflammation in their livers or what is also referred to as "steatohepatitis." Many will eventually experience cirrhosis in their livers, meaning scarring/lesions that will begin to appear within the organ, which is irreversible and that can eventually lead to death or in the need for a life-saving liver transplant. The author whose words you are listening to in this audiobook, is a patient who has lived with a condition of non-alcoholic fatty liver, since the year 2007 (for six years at the time of writing). My case of the disease has not gone on to become steatohepatitis but I have been diagnosed with enlargement of my liver, which is reversible at this point, if I follow my doctor's treatments and a weight loss plan (my obesity is between moderate and severe). While I am not a medical professional, I am one who can relate facts concerning this disease, from firsthand experience with it. I can also pass along the knowledge I have accrued, through six years of extensive research on literally hundreds of reputable medical websites, as well as from blogs and articles written by fellow liver disease patients. While the information I will relate is not as extensive as that one could contain through a professional medical journal, I do believe I can express information that most laypersons would be seeking, in addition to sharing my personal experience with this potentially very serious disease. ungekürzt.

Dark Psychology: How to Protect Yourself from Manipulation Techniques and Dark Psychology, Recognize and Control Emotional Manipulation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
Throughout our daily life, manipulation has always been received with pure disgust, utter contempt, and forgotten hatred by both the public and the individuals who have had it utilized on them. Anybody who isn't fluent in picking up vocal and body language will always be the main target for manipulation.These reactions are rightfully warranted, and people who abuse such a thing should be disregarded. However, in the words of Sun Tzu, "To know your enemy, you must become your enemy". Your manipulator will always have a hard time getting control of you if you can spot them out quickly. This audiobook will enhance your mind's keenness to not only spot these kinds of behaviors but also see who are most susceptible to enact on them and how to do them yourself. The information in this book is backed with factual evidence and scenario, the various forms of manipulation, ways to use counter-tactics against them, the types of people who could potentially have serious mental problems (such as narcissists and borderlines, associated with these behaviors), how far successful manipulation can take you, and the great leaders who utilized it, and how manipulation is used by salespeople.Why do people manipulate others? Cited by the words of renowned psychologist Carl Jung: "The ability or the want to manipulate can sometimes stem either from the dissonance of what ego wants and what the self needs or from what the shadow dictates to feed its unsensational hunger".This book will help you engage in most activities with manipulative people, to the point where they may not notice you're playing them at the same game in a way that can help you avoid damage accrued by them. Most of the tactics focused here have to do with identifying manipulative tactics.See, knowledge is power, and you must learn what manipulative behavior looks like and how it functions. When you do, you are better prepared and suited to defend yourself against it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Smith.

The Dark Side of Entrepreneurship, How to Avoid Losing Money as an Entrepreneur Growing Brands, and How to Alleviate Depression as an Entrepreneur , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
This essay sheds light on the dark side of entrepreneurship and elucidates how to avoid losing money as an entrepreneur when growing brands. Moreover, how to alleviate depression as an entrepreneur is delineated in this essay. Furthermore, how to earn substantial money online so that you can afford to finance your overarching goals without ever having to work for an employer is expounded upon in this essay.The dark side of entrepreneurship is often an overlooked topic since uncommon entrepreneurial success stories that grossly embellish the life of an entrepreneur outshine the dark side of entrepreneurship. In spite of its merits, entrepreneurial endeavors have a proclivity to go awry and culminate in egregious failures for most prospective entrepreneurs. At least 70 percent of businesses fail within a company’s initial 10-year period, and most businesses cannot stay afloat in the long haul in spite of all the goodwill, brand equity, brand loyalty, and brand recognition they accrued over the years.The crux of the issue lies in prospective entrepreneurs not having the business acumen to be able to consistently grow their business, nor efficaciously run a successful business in the long haul. They simply do not understand that a successful business is all about unalloyed innovation, shrewd marketing, and robust communication with customers.Building a successfully brand as an entrepreneur is an eminently challenging endeavor with no paved road to guaranteed success and does not always culminate in a successful outcome in spite of the entrepreneur’s best strategic efforts. Establishing a profitable brand may require tens of thousands of hours of strategically and unremittingly working hard seven days a week for decades as you attempt to deliver unprecedented value to the marketplace.Since the job prospects as a future employee are so grim and bleak for college graduates, it seems as though the only viable career prospect in a competitive m ungekürzt.

White American Youth: My Descent into America's Most Violent Hate Movement -- and How I Got Out , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
A stunning look inside the world of violent hate groups by a onetime white supremacist leader who, shaken by a personal tragedy, realized the error of his ways and abandoned his destructive life to become an anti-hate activist. As he stumbled through high school, struggling to find a community among other fans of punk rock music, Christian Picciolini was recruited by a now notorious white power skinhead leader and encouraged to fight with the movement to "protect the white race from extinction." Soon, he had become an expert in racist philosophies, a terror who roamed the neighborhood, quick to throw fists. When his mentor was arrested and sentenced to 11 years in prison, 16-year-old Picciolini took over the man's role as the leader of an infamous neo-Nazi skinhead group. Seduced by the power he accrued through intimidation, and swept up in the rhetoric he had adopted, Picciolini worked to grow an army of extremists. He used music as a recruitment tool, launching his own propaganda band that performed at white power rallies around the world. But slowly, as he started a family of his own and a job that for the first time brought him face to face with people from all walks of life, he began to recognize the cracks in his hateful ideology. Then a shocking loss at the hands of racial violence changed his life forever, and Picciolini realized too late the full extent of the harm he'd caused. Raw, inspiring, and heartbreakingly candid, White American Youth tells the fascinating story of how so many young people lose themselves in a culture of hatred and violence and how the criminal networks they forge terrorize and divide our nation.

YouTube Success in 5 Steps: Five Steps. No Limits. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 171min
A growing number of YouTubers are scoring six-to-seven-figure paychecks, studio development deals, A-list Hollywood agents, book and record deals, and more because they've harnessed the power of web video production, distribution, and monetization. Comedian-gamer Felix Kjellberg (aka PewDiePie) launched the most subscribed to YouTube channel of all time and made $7.4 million in 2014 for his expletive-filled video game commentaries. Not too shabby for someone who quit college and sold hot dogs to afford to buy a computer. Actress-writer Awkward Black Girl Issa Rae was working odd jobs and contemplating business school when her web show went viral. What followed was a Shorty Award, a development deal with HBO, and representation by United Talent Agency. Dissed by traditional media, hip hop violinist Lindsey Stirling found a following via YouTube, racked up hundreds of millions of views, a deal with Lady Gaga's manager, a sold-out European tour, and an album that debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Former substitute teacher Harley Morenstein (ask Epic Meal Time) racked up over 800 million views, a partnership with Taco Bell Canada, and a TV show on A+E-owned FYI. Oh, and the Sauce Boss stars in Kevin Smith's 2016 release Moose Jaws and has an estimated net worth of $6 million. Video blogger Jenna Marbles signed with CAA, got her own Madame Tussauds wax figure, and even has her own line of dog toys. She's accrued nearly two billion video views and has more Instagram friends than Oprah Winfrey. Civilians are getting paid to create web video content, while iconic brands like Toyota, Lionsgate, and Macy's are shelling out big bucks for other people's videos. What makes those videos better than yours? Or are they? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Dorr. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/085584/bk_acx0_085584_sample.mp3.

Unfettered: Tales By Masters of Fantasy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1216min
You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre. Twenty-three tales comprise this incredible collection, and as the title suggests, the writers were free to contribute whatever they wished. Here is the table of contents: Foreword by Patrick Rothfuss Introduction: On Becoming Unfettered Imaginary Friends by Terry Brooks How Old Holly Came to Be by Patrick Rothfuss The Old Scale Game by Tad Williams Game of Chance by Carrie Vaughn The Martyr of the Roses by Jacqueline Carey Mudboy by Peter V.
