    From Holocaust to Harvard: A Story of Escape, Forgiveness, and Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 385min
    A true and touching human tale of survival and achievement. When John Stoessinger was ten years old, Adolf Hitler annexed his homeland of Austria, ripping the boy from his home and his friends in Vienna. His grandparents encouraged his mother and stepfather to take young John somewhere safe. "You must have a future," his grandfather told him before he and his parents boarded the train and waved goodbye. As they trekked across the country, from Vienna to Prague and then finally settling in Shanghai, there was never a single moment Stoessinger was not afraid - he lived in constant fear that he and his family would be found and killed. However, even in Hitler-ruled Nazi Germany, there were plenty of people who refused to cower to absolute evil and who did everything they could to usher families like Stoessinger's to freedom. In From Holocaust to Harvard, Stoessinger recalls heartbreaking moments from his childhood and of living a life of secrets in Shanghai. He then presents the second part of his story - his previous life and devastating memories and is able to relocate to America, earn a graduate-level degree from a prestigious university, and later become a member of the Council on Foreign Relations despite making a decision that nearly lands him in prison and threatens his hard-earned freedom. Throughout his story, Stoessinger expresses his gratitude to those who helped him through the toughest parts of this life and put him on a path that led him to a Harvard education, a successful career, and inner peace. ungekürzt.

    Andy Lorenzo has no family, few friends, and poor social skills and drinks and gambles far too much. But in a time when demons are becoming increasingly more brazen and powerful, he has one skill that makes demons cower in fear from him - he is the greatest exorcist the world has ever known.In Battle of the Soul, a supernatural thriller that is a combination of Constantine and The Exorcist, since graduating high school, Andy has left a long trail of demons in his wake while priests are dying while performing traditional rites of exorcism. Andy is the church and society's ultimate weapon in combating this growing epidemic. He needs no Bibles, prayers, or rituals. Andy is capable of going inside the person's soul, where he engages in hand-to-hand combat using his superhuman abilities that reside only when he is in a person's soul. When eight-year-old Kate becomes possessed, Andy finds an elaborate trap waiting for him. He will do whatever it takes to win the most important fight of his life - the battle for Kate's soul.“Ready for a lighthearted Battle of the Soul? Andy Lorenzo's got the requisite exorcism skills, but he's no single-minded zealot nor cynical bleak arts practitioner. He gets the biz done with a deft touch and a wink and a nod to family values. It's not John Constantine here but try Cary Grant in Monkey Business. Battle of the Soul is a fine, fun supernatural read!" (Mort Castle, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Strangers) ungekürzt.

    Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
    What does AI mean for your business? Read this book to find out. (Hal Varian, Chief Economist, Google) Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible, magically bringing machines to life - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In the face of such uncertainty, many analysts either cower in fear or predict an impossibly sunny future. But in Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs. When AI is framed as cheap prediction, its extraordinary potential becomes clear: Prediction is at the heart of making decisions under uncertainty. Our businesses and personal lives are riddled with such decisions. Prediction tools increase productivity - operating machines, handling documents, communicating with customers. Uncertainty constrains strategy. Better prediction creates opportunities for new business structures and strategies to compete. Penetrating, fun, and always insightful and practical, Prediction Machines follows its inescapable logic to explain how to navigate the changes on the horizon. The impact of AI will be profound, but the economic framework for understanding it is surprisingly simple. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

    Plain Tales from the Hills , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 422min
    Rudyard Kipling's short stories of life in the British Raj began in 1888 as journalistic snippets written to supplement his more serious factual output when he was employed as the assistant editor, at the meagre age of 20, of the Lahori-based Civil and Military Gazette. A child of the British colonial system, Kipling had been born in India, brought up by a Hindustani-speaking ayah, and then sent, rather brutally, back to England for his school years but returned to the India he loved almost as soon as he was legally allowed to. These wry, evocative and extremely witty stories of the British at play in the hills of Simla, escaping the fire of the Indian high summer, have had their share of controversy. Kipling's love for the society he was born into and worked with shines out of the tales with the heat of the Indian sun. But his enthusiasm has often been taken to be an endorsement of the English colonial system - George Orwell called him the 'prophet of British Imperialism', and he did indeed revel in the eccentricities and peculiarities of the expatriate community. But his tone is undeniably ironic. Mrs. Hauksbee, one of the most enduring of Kipling's characters encountered in these tales, is every inch the haughty tigress of a colonial memsahib before whom we are meant to cower and to whose brilliant manipulations we are meant to succumb. However, we are also supposed to laugh at her. She's very funny. In these tales India is a character of her own, one to be warily watched by those clinging staunchly to a sense of their own very distant culture. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Professional Troublemaker
    INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the New York Times bestselling author of I'm Judging You, a hilarious and transformational book about how to tackle fear--that everlasting hater--and audaciously step into lives, careers, and legacies that go beyond even our wildest dreamsLuvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, she's not alone.We're all afraid. We're afraid of asking for what we want because we're afraid of hearing "no." We're afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. We're afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly, meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free.With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle.The point is not to be fearless, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let's go!

    Confidence: Your Birthright as a Child of God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 254min
    Confidence: Your Birthright as a Child of God is a joyful affirmation of the divine truth that human beings are the spiritual children of God. Before any other, this truth is the key to grounded and durable self-assurance. In the age of picture-perfect Instagram posts and hyper-competition, it’s easy to feel self-doubt. Instead of pressing forward with confidence and hope, we might pull back, unconvinced of our potential.This book explores a broad set of Christian truths that argue for the opposite mentality. We are meant to feel confident. It’s our birthright as children of God! The book opens with a parable about an unusual zoo on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Kathy Clayton lived with her husband for several years on assignment from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The zoo was like none other she had seen.At the Lujan Zoo, animal keepers invited visitors into the enclosures of the enormous lions to pet the docile beasts. Fascinated by the unnatural, timid behavior of those wild animals, Kathy asked the keepers why the powerful felines allowed random visitors to approach and pet them. She learned that those lions had lived with small, yappy dogs in their enclosures with them since they had been tiny kittens. As is the disposition of dogs to tyrannize cats, those scrappy dogs had nipped at the heels of the lion cubs and constantly chased them into the corners of their pens. The lions had become accustomed to responding with fear and timidity to the harassment of the merciless dogs.Without the benefit of mirrors in the pens to enable them to appreciate their actual stature, those lions continued to cower in the corners of their pens even as they grew to full-sized felines. They continued to allow the pesky dogs to control and tyrannize them long after they needed to be subject to the humiliating domination. Because of an inaccurate awareness of who they really were, the lions were unable to rise to the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathy Kipp Clayton.
