    It's bad enough when high-school senior Keeley grabs the wrong phone while leaving her small town's end-of-summer fair. It's even worse when she discovers that the phone she now has belongs to the obnoxious, self-centered Talon and that he's just left for football camp...with her phone. Reluctantly, the two agree to forward messages for a week. And as Keeley gets to know Talon, she starts to like him. Keeley learns there's more to Talon than the egocentric jock most people see. There's more to Keeley, too. Texting Talon, she can step out of the shadow of her popular twin brother. Texting Talon, she can be the person she's always wanted to be. Sparks fly when the two finally meet to exchange their phones. But while Keeley has been playing a part online, Talon has been keeping a secret. He has a different connection to Keeley - one that has nothing to do with phones, and one that will make their new relationship all but impossible. Knowing what she now knows, can Keeley trust him? And can love in the present erase mistakes of the past? Lindsey Summers' pause-resisting romance is funny, surprising, and full of heart. With its device-centered story, snappy dialogue, looping subplots, and depiction of first love, this title offers something for every listener. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicole Bauman.

    Left Hanging: Caught Dead in Wyoming, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min
    A rodeo producer, dead in the bullpen. Accident or murder? Elizabeth "E.M." Danniher, until recently a top-flight national TV journalist, is regaining her footing after a dizzying demotion to tiny - and entirely foreign to her - Sherman, Wyoming. But her equilibrium faces a major challenge. The apparently accidental death - under the hooves of bucking bulls - of a rodeo producer preparing for Sherman’s annual Fourth of July Rodeo catches the attention of Elizabeth and her KWMT-TV colleague Mike Paycik. Not only is it a major story about the region’s biggest event, but it’s being outrageously mishandled by the station’s egocentric anchor. As Elizabeth and Mike dig, area rancher Thomas Burrell joins the investigation, providing background on suspects - and there are plenty because the victim had many enemies. But Tom has divided loyalties, so Elizabeth doubts his commitment to finding the truth. Not to mention that both Mike and Tom show an interest in her...and the points of this peculiar triangle are starting to get under her skin. From the tip of the rodeo queen’s tiara, to “agricultural byproducts” ground into the arena dust, TV reporter and amateur sleuth Elizabeth Danniher receives a murderous introduction to the world of rodeo. Don’t miss any of the Caught Dead in Wyoming collection: Sign Off Left Hanging Shoot First Last Ditch Look Live Back Story Cold Open Hot Roll Reaction Shot Body Brace More cozy mystery from Patricia McLinn: Secret Sleuth series:Death on the Diversion Death on Torrid Avenue Death on Beguiling Way Death on Covert Circle Death on Shady Bridge  ungekürzt.

    Europe Since 1815, Volume 2: Imperialism and Militarism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 764min
    19th century Europe produced some of the greatest soldiers, statesmen, scientists, artists, and thinkers of any period in recorded history. And by the middle of that century nationalism had emerged triumphant from Ireland to Greece, and many new nations, including Germany and Italy, had appeared. But nationalism was accompanied by a chauvinistic impulse toward militarism. At the same time, new explorations were beginning to open the continent of Africa to colonial opportunities, an activity also pursued in Asia and the Pacific. Along with the new political developments came astounding scientific advances led by men like Louis Pasteur, Charles Darwin and Alfred Einstein. Meanwhile, the economic theories of Marx and the philosophical musings of Nietzsche roiled the minds of millions and produced profound undercurrents of political and social tension. Across this fabric of seething ethnic emotions and boundless imperial ambition strode the mighty figure of Otto von Bismark, the greatest statesman of his era. With his unshakeable belief in blood and iron and an unerring eye for compromise and balance of power, Bismark guided the German Empire to the pinnacle of success only to have his life's work threatened by the impetuosity of the egocentric Kaiser Wilhelm II. Listen as this great work unfolds and learn how the fabulous civilization of Europe strutted across the world stage in a glittering sheen of self-aggrandizing splendor, while unconsciously choosing the path to disaster. As autocratic and backward Russia and Turkey lurch from crisis to crisis, and the other European states watch German militarism with a growing sense of dread, revanchiste France bides her time. Secret alliances and an uncontrollable arms race follow, while Europe awaits the spark that will set off a conflagration that many have long expected. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Narcissist and Empath: Guide for Self-Healing After Narcissistic Abuse. How to Fight Narcissism and Codependency in a Narcissistic Relationship. Master Your Emotions to Stop Being Manipulated , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
    The world of an empath is filled with perceptions of emotional significance. Empathic people are able to feel the emotions and experiences of others, which allows them to connect with others in a way that is rare and special. As human beings, we have a natural ability to form meaningful connections with other humans. Yet, the sensations that the empath feels allows him or her to connect with knowledge and meaning that is hard to describe. The empathic persons, therefore, have many talents that can make life in the world a heightened sensory experience. But the abilities of the empath come with challenges. Narcissistic individuals pose a special difficulty for sensitive persons, especially the empathic people. The narcissist lives in a world of their own creation, one characterized by vanity and egoism. But the egocentric behaviors of the narcissist extend beyond mere self-centeredness.A narcissist is cruel and abusive, behaving in ways that can lead to abuse trauma and terrible isolation. Narcissistic abuse is the term for a type of emotional abuse that narcissists inflict on those around them, and the empath is particularly vulnerable. Empathic individuals naturally form emotional connections with others, and this, combined with a deep desire to help flawed individuals, tends to attract them to the narcissist and keep them in an inherently unhealthy relationship. The narcissist is also able to recognize the sensitivity of the empath, which they see as an open door that makes the abuse the narcissist needs to feel better about themselves that much easier.Listeners of Narcissist and Empath will learn:The benefits and dangers of empathic powerReasons why empathic people are the favorite targets of the narcissistTypes of empathsWays for dealing with energy vampiresPitfalls of the narcissistic relationshipThe emotional effects of narcissistic abuseSteps for recovering ungekürzt.

Without empathy, one is unable to build authentic human relationships. That is why a narcissist will never have healthy relationships, be it romantic or of other nature.  This audiobook covers the following topics:What is the narcissism?Understanding the narcissistic person.Who is the narcissist?What is narcissistic abuse?Effects of narcissistic abuse over time.Healing from emotional abuse and rebuilding your life.Narcissism in the relationship.The toxic attraction between an empath and a narcissist.Techniques to handle narcissists.Protection strategy.Why are narcissists so attractive? ungekürzt.

    After the Saucers Landed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
    The bastard offspring of They Live and The Day the Earth Stood Still, as told by Jean Paul Sartre. Shape-changing aliens may have landed on the White House lawn and subsequently integrated into human society, but humanity is still full of self-centered and self-absorbed individuals. Laura's just scraping by on her art teacher's salary. Donald, a best-selling author and UFOlogist who provided counseling to abductees, has tried to distance himself from the saucer landings and is looking to move on with his life. But everything changes when Shelly, an alien enrolled in Laura's art class, mysteriously switches places with Laura. Life begins to unravel. Laura then realizes this isn't the first time Shelly has moved into another person's body, and fragments of other people's memories have jumped with her, including those of Donald's wife. Laura begins to grasp that reality, or at least humanity's perception of it, may be more flexible than anyone wants to admit. And though she can't explain how or why, she suspects the aliens are behind it and will need Donald's help to stop them. In an egocentric society that sleepwalks through the rituals of daily life, would people even notice if the world around them suddenly and inexplicably changes? Part Jonathan Lethem (Amnesia Moon) and part Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse Five), Douglas Lain's latest novel uses science fiction's alien invasion rubric to examine and undermine the world we take for granted. This deeply unsettling satire places him alongside contemporaries like Jeff VanderMeer and Charles Yu as one of his generation's most exciting and challenging speculative fiction voices. ungekürzt.

Dr. Kate Philo and her scientific exploration team make a breathtaking discovery in the Arctic: the body of a man buried deep in the ice. As a scientist in a groundbreaking project run by the egocentric and paranoid Erastus Carthage, Kate has brought small creatures - plankton, krill, shrimp - back to life for short periods of time. But the team's methods have never been attempted on larger life-forms. Heedless of the potential consequences, Carthage orders that the frozen man be brought back to the lab in Boston and reanimated. The endeavor is named "The Lazarus Project". As the man begins to regain his memories, the team learns that he was - is - a judge, Jeremiah Rice, and the last thing he remembers is falling overboard into the Arctic Ocean in 1906. When news of the project and Jeremiah Rice breaks, it ignites a media firestorm and protests by religious fundamentalists. Thrown together by fate, Kate and Jeremiah grow closer. But the clock is ticking and Jeremiah's new life is slipping away. With Carthage planning to exploit Jeremiah while he can, Kate must decide how far she is willing to go to protect the man she has come to love. A gripping, poignant, and thoroughly original thriller, Stephen P. Kiernan's provocative debut novel raises disturbing questions about the very nature of life and humanity - man as a scientific subject, as a tabloid novelty, as a living being: a curiosity. ungekürzt.

    Narcissistic Mothers: How to Survive Abusive Parental Relationships Caused by Personality Disorders. Recover from Childhood Emotional Carelessness. A Complete Guide to Discover How to Heal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min
    Do you want to learn how to how to survive the abuse of a relationship by parents with personality disorders and recovery from childhood emotional carelessness? If yes, then keep reading...Narcissism has its origins in Greek mythology where there was a young man named Narcissus. He was a Greek hunter from Boeotia and the son of the river god and a nymph. He was a remarkably handsome person.One day, Nemesis lured him to the edge of a lake where he fell in love with the water pool reflection of himself. Narcissus was so engrossed with admiring his reflection that he ended up drowning in the lake. In this day and age, narcissism is a theory used in psychoanalysis; the psychoanalysis theory has its beginnings in the 1914 essay on narcissism by Sigmund Freud.Also, the American Psychiatric Association classifies narcissism as a mental disorder characterized by neediness and admiration from others with a grandiose sense of self-importance and and lack of empathy for others.An obsession over one’s physical appearance, traits, and achievements at unnatural levels can lead to a distraction from daily life and activities. Narcissism Personality Disorder (NPD) is one of the three dark personalities together with Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy. These three dark personalities are referred to as the “dark triad.” People with these three disorders exhibit harmful behavior toward others.It will help at this point to not confuse narcissism with ego-centrism. Narcissists are all about their egos, just like the egocentrics, but there is a difference between a narcissist and an egocentric person. A narcissist only gets their fix of admiration or whatever it is that they need for the moment from someone else. Dealing with narcissism is very difficult because the people suffering from it do not see it as a problem; they believe they are perfectly fine and healthy.Any event or person that forces people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder t ungekürzt.
