Destroy your mental weaknesses with proven high-performance techniques! Have you ever found yourself suffering from anxiety, stress, or depression? Would you like to build mental skills that are going to build self-confidence, strong will, and taught mind? Would you like to develop habits that will make you a high-performance person you always wanted to be? There is no doubt that you are already interested, so just keep listening.... You probably already know that successful people have different attitudes and habits than everybody else. Maybe you already tried to discipline yourself like them but failed to do so. Or maybe you constantly watch motivational videos but lack the power of “Just Do It” and usually stay at the same place. You are right, there are certain properties high-performance people have, and there are certain individual habits that they follow in order to increase or maintain their successful life. And I am not talking just about money, and money does not equal success. A person has to feel fulfilled, not only materially but also emotionally, so he or she is truly happy and successful. After more than three years of analyzing the lives of highly successful and happy people, I decided to share my knowledge and create a book that would allow you to learn and build the life of your dreams as well. Take a look at only a few things you will get out of this book: What is mental toughness, and why do you need to have it? How to discipline yourself like Navy SEAL How to find out your real goals and valuesOne rule every successful person follows Complete guide on how to manage negative emotions and use them to your advantage How do you “take action” every single time? Much, much more.... Not a single word of this book is not worth the value of your time. So do not waste one more minute thinking. Cl ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: KC Wayman.

The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the End of an Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 920min
A sweeping new history of how climate change and disease helped bring down the Roman Empire Here is the monumental retelling of one of the most consequential chapters of human history: the fall of the Roman Empire. The Fate of Rome is the first book to examine the catastrophic role that climate change and infectious diseases played in the collapse of Rome's power - a story of nature's triumph over human ambition. Interweaving a grand historical narrative with cutting-edge climate science and genetic discoveries, Kyle Harper traces how the fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians but also by volcanic eruptions, solar cycles, climate instability, and devastating viruses and bacteria. He takes listeners from Rome's pinnacle in the second century, when the empire seemed an invincible superpower, to its unraveling by the seventh century, when Rome was politically fragmented and materially depleted. Harper describes how the Romans were resilient in the face of enormous environmental stress, until the besieged empire could no longer withstand the combined challenges of a "little ice age" and recurrent outbreaks of bubonic plague. A poignant reflection on humanity's intimate relationship with the environment, The Fate of Rome provides a sweeping account of how one of history's greatest civilizations encountered, endured, yet ultimately succumbed to the cumulative burden of nature's violence. The example of Rome is a timely reminder that climate change and germ evolution have shaped the world we inhabit - in ways that are surprising and profound. Author bio: Kyle Harper is professor of classics and letters and senior vice president and provost at the University of Oklahoma.

Walled States, Waning Sovereignty (eBook, PDF)
Why, just two decades after international celebrations of the fall of the Berlin Wall, are so many nation-states building elaborate walls at or near their borders? Why walls now, given growing global connectedness and given the general imperviousness of late modern powers - from capital to religion to terror - to physical blockading? How do walls shore up an imago of sovereign statehood and to what extent do they fortify reactionary national imaginaries? What do the new walls perform symbolically, materially, psychically?In Walled States, Waning Sovereignty, Wendy Brown reflects on the proliferation of nation-state walls in a time of eroded nation-state sovereignty and intensifying transnational powers unleashed by globalization. A leading theorist of neoliberalism, Brown argues that although the new walls may demarcate existent or aspirational nation-state boundaries, they do not arise as fortresses against invading national armies or even as articulations of sovereign statehood.Rather, in a post-Westphalian context of increasing nonstate transnational actors and powers, the new walls consecrate the very boundary corruption they would contest as well as signify the contemporary limitations of national and global governance by law or political dictate. Even as walls theatrically display nation-state sovereignty, they index with equal force the decline of sovereign state power.In a rare combination of powerful theory and precise historical, political, and economic analysis, Walled States, Waning Sovereignty provides a new - indeed the first - account of nation-state walling as a distinctive contemporary phenomenon. For Brown, the frenzy of wall building today reveals crucial predicaments of political power and desire emerging from the waning of sovereignty, including new political legitimacy deficits, new citizen anxieties, and new fusions of state and non-state violence.- Shop: buecher

Undisciplined: Bridal Discipline, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 178min
Gabrielle Astley is quite used to being an afterthought, a burden, a nuisance. As the only child - and a useless female one at that - to a Baron, she was both spoiled materially and neglected emotionally. After her father's death, his third wife and her stepmother is remarried, to the stern and cold Marquess of Dunbury. Since the new Baron wants nothing to do with Gabrielle, the Marquess is her new guardian and Gabrielle finds herself in London, receiving her debut. Despite this turn of events, she can't quite shake her spite of her stepmother, and her attitude lands her into hot water and her first spanking at the hand of her guardian. The Marquess seems eager to marry her off, and Gabrielle has no objection to that goal. London has everything she ever wanted - glamor, excitement, and, for some reason, quite a few people actually seem to like and take an interest in her. When the Marquess' best friend, the rakish Felix Hood becomes one of those people, Gabrielle finds herself hoping for more than just a standard ton marriage...until she begins to realize that he's not interested in her for herself, and his interest may actually be in someone close to her. Felix Hood had no thoughts of settling down in marriage - as the youngest of three brothers, he should be the last to wed. However, when he meets his best friend Philip's new ward and is tasked with the duty of helping guard her against any unsavory suitors (as well as guarding Philip's new wife from Miss Astley's waspish tongue), he can't help but be entranced by her. She's not the usual milk and water miss that is served up to the gentlemen of the tongue; she's prickly, funny, and has a touch of sadness in her eyes that he longs to discover the cause of so that he may vanquish it. But he's not convinced he's ready for marriage, and his hesitation over formally courting her leads Miss Astley to turn to her other suitors, making him wonder if she's really worth the chase. ungekürzt.

Nuremberg's Voice of Doom (eBook, ePUB)
The memoirs of Wolfe Frank, which lay hidden in an attic for twenty-five years, are a unique and highly moving behind-the-scenes account of what happened at Nuremberg the greatest trial in history seen through the eyes of a witness to the whole proceedings. They include important historical information never previously revealed. In an extraordinarily explicit life story, Frank includes his personal encounters, inside and outside the courtroom, with all the war criminals, particularly Hermann Goering. This, therefore, is a unique record that adds substantially to what is already publicly known about the trials and the defendants.Involved in proceedings from day one, Frank translated the first piece of evidence, interpreted the judges opening statements, and concluded the trials by announcing the sentences to the defendants (and several hundred million radio listeners) which earned him the soubriquet Voice of Doom.Prior to the war, Frank, who was of Jewish descent, was a Bavarian playboy, an engineer, a resistance worker, a smuggler (of money and Jews out of Germany) and was declared to be an enemy of the State to be shot on sight. Having escaped to Britain, he was interned at the outbreak of war but successfully campaigned for his release and eventually allowed to enlist in the British Army in which he rose to the rank of Captain. Unable to speak English prior to his arrival, by the time of the Nuremberg trials he was described as the finest interpreter in the world.A unique character of extreme contrasts Frank was a playboy, a risk taker and an opportunist. Yet he was also a man of immense courage, charm, good manners, integrity and ability. He undertook the toughest assignment imaginable at Nuremberg to a level that was satisfactory alike to the bench, the defence and the prosecution and he played a major role in materially shortening the enormously difficult procedures by an estimated three years.- Shop: buecher
