Edge of Glory: Friendship, Texas, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
Welcome to Conti's. I'm Lia and I'll nguhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I froze. Directly facing me was Olympic swimmer, Jay Morningstar . . . and I just made an idiot of myself. The rest of the table looked up to see me standing there with my mouth practically gaping. His coach, who I recognized from TV interviews, and even two other swimmers from the Olympic team were there. They didn't say anything, they didn't even blink. "Uh ... I mean ..." I couldn't even put together my words and Jay Morningstar was just staring at me with that Wheaties box smile and those icy blue eyes. What was I supposed to say? Sorry I just made a weird noise, it's just that I have a poster of you on my wall where you are wearing nothing more than your gold medals, a smile, and a pair of man panties? ungekürzt.

Tim Cook
Journalist Leander Kahney reveals how CEO Tim Cook has led Apple to astronomical success after the death of Steve Jobs in 2011. The death of Steve Jobs left a gaping void at one of the most innovative companies of all time. Jobs wasn't merely Apple's iconic founder and CEO; he was the living embodiment of a global megabrand. It was hard to imagine that anyone could fill his shoes--especially not Tim Cook, the intensely private executive who many thought of as Apple's "operations drone."But seven years later, as journalist Leander Kahney reveals in this definitive book, things at Apple couldn't be better. Its stock has nearly tripled, making it the world's first trillion dollar company. Under Cook's principled leadership, Apple is pushing hard into renewable energy, labor and environmentally-friendly supply chains, user privacy, and highly-recyclable products. From the massive growth of the iPhone to lesser-known victories like the Apple Watch, Cook is leading Apple to a new era of success.Drawing on access with several Apple insiders, Kahney tells the inspiring story of how one man attempted to replace someone irreplaceable, and--through strong, humane leadership, supply chain savvy, and a commitment to his values--succeeded more than anyone had thought possible.- Shop: buecher

I Will See You in Heaven, My Friend: The Bible Tells Me So! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
Are there animals in heaven? Losing a pet is an experience that leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. I find that just talking about a rainbow bridge doesn't really help. It is a beautiful thought, but I am a Bible-believing Christian, so that led me to look up all references to rainbow in the Bible. Although there is no mention of a "rainbow bridge," what I found was that the rainbow covenant God made with Noah wasn't just to mankind but to every living creature that was with him! It was a covenant between God and all of his creation! God made an eternal, binding promise to animals! If they are temporary or if he didn't love them, why would he make this everlasting covenant with them? That inspired my journey to start at Genesis and walk through the entire Bible to see what God says. I decided to share the answer and hope that it blesses all who listen to it. ungekürzt.

Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
A world-renowned psychiatrist reveals the fascinating story of psychiatry's origins, demise, and redemption. Psychiatry has come a long way since the days of chaining "lunatics" in cold cells and parading them as freakish marvels before a gaping public. But as Jeffrey Lieberman reveals in his extraordinary and eye-opening book, the path to legitimacy for "the black sheep of medicine" has been anything but smooth. In Shrinks Dr. Lieberman traces the field from its birth as a mystic pseudoscience through its adolescence as a cult of "shrinks" to its late-blooming maturity since the Second World War as a science-driven profession that saves lives. With fascinating case studies and portraits of the luminaries of the field, from Sigmund Freud to Eric Kandel, Shrinks is a gripping and illuminating read. It is also an urgent call to arms to dispel the stigma surrounding mental illness and to start treating it as a disease rather than a state of mind. ungekürzt. Language: English.
