This book has a gentle approach that accepts whatever the person listening to it may have done in the past, and looks forward toward a brighter, more satisfying future.

The Myth of Laziness: America's Top Learning Expert Shows How Kids and Parents Can Become More Productive, Hörbuch, Digital, 291min

How many times have you heard a teacher say that your child has tremendous potential "if only he'd just apply himself" or "if only she'd work just a little harder"? How often have you said the same thing to your son or daughter? Or perhaps you have a coworker who can't seem to finish anything; his reports are never in on time, or her projects are always behind schedule. No matter what excuses you hear, you suspect that laziness is the real reason for your colleague's low productivity. Almost no one is actually lazy, says Dr. Mel Levine, author of A Mind at a Time. Low productivity - whether in school or on the job - is almost always caused by a genuine problem, a neurodevelopmental dysfunction. Despite this, untold numbers of people have been stigmatized by unfair accusations of laziness, many of them adults who still carry emotional scars from their schooldays. In The Myth of Laziness Dr. Levine shows how we can spot the neurodevelopmental dysfunctions that may cause "output failure," as he calls it, whether in school or in the workplace. Dr. Levine identifies seven forms of dysfunction that obstruct output. Drawing on his years of clinical experience he describes eight people - children, adolescents, and adults - he has worked with who exhibited one or another of these problems. He shows how identifying the problem can make all the difference, leading to a course of corrective action rather than to accusations of laziness and moral failure. With its practical advice and compassionate tone, The Myth of Laziness shows parents how to nurture their child's strengths and improve their classroom productivity. Most important, it shows how correcting these problems in childhood will help children live a fulfilling and productive adult life. Language: English. Narrator: Mel Levine, M.D..

Body Counts: A Memoir of Politics, Sex, Aids, and Survival , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 819min

The founder of POZ magazine shares "a captivating...eyewitness account from inside the AIDS epidemic" (Next) and "a moving, multidecade memoir of one gay man's life" (San Francisco Chronicle). As a politics-obsessed Georgetown freshman, Sean Strub arrived in Washington, DC, from Iowa in 1976, with a plum part-time job running a senate elevator in the US Capitol. He also harbored a terrifying secret: his attraction to men. As Strub explored the capital's political and social circles, he discovered a parallel world where powerful men lived double lives shrouded in shame. When the AIDS epidemic hit in the early 1980s, Strub was living in New York and soon found himself attending "more funerals than birthday parties". Scared and angry, he turned to radical activism to combat discrimination and demand research. Strub takes you through his own diagnosis and inside ACT UP, the organization that transformed a stigmatized cause into one of the defining political movements of our time. From the New York of Studio 54 and Andy Warhol's Factory to the intersection of politics and burgeoning LGBT and AIDS movements, Strub's story crackles with history. He recounts his role in shocking AIDS demonstrations at St. Patrick's Cathedral as well as at the home of US Senator Jesse Helms. With an astonishing cast of characters, including Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal, Keith Haring, Bill Clinton, and Yoko Ono, this is a vivid portrait of a tumultuous era "[with] the suspense and horror of Paul Monette's memoir Borrowed Time and the drama of Larry Kramer's play The Normal Heart.... What a lot of action - and life - there is in this gripping book." (The Washington Post). Photo: Iowa City Press-Citizen ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Drake.

In Bed with Susie Bright 635: The Booty-Eating Renaissance?, Hörbuch, Digital, 31min, (USK 18)

Are you familiar with the term "tossing salad" when it means something other than mixing the lettuce for dinner? If not, here's a vocabulary tip: hipsters use this phrase to mean eating booty, or anilingus. Susie reads from a Gawker article by Tyrone Palmer that details recent hip-hop stars' declarations of liking to "eat da booty". Citing many rappers, this article shines a positive light on what Susie says is a delightful pleasure that has been stigmatized as dirty - and as a line that shouldn't be crossed - and that means you are gay. Next, a headline: Men Who Make Virginity Pledges as Teens Struggle with Sex Once Married. Susie finds this research, from livescience.com, to be understandably true - and sad. The Purity culture has, in fact, kept young people from having unmarried sex, but it hasn't dealt with some deep psychological scars. Some men surveyed spoke about needing guidance once they were married, because the church had taught them to talk about sex with their teenage peers, but then when married to keep their mouths shut. Then, in our "What's New on Audible" segment, Susie has another audiobook sample for us to hear, from True Porn Clerk Stories by Ali Davis. Susie loves to think about the old video stores, where all kinds of crazy behavior was on display. This is a great book, and the author narrates it. Have a question or a news story for Susie?

The New Laws of Love: Online Dating and the Privatization of Intimacy

Online dating has become a widespread feature of modern social life. In less than two decades, seeking partners through commercial intermediaries went from being a marginal and stigmatized practice to being a common activity. How can we explain this rapid change and what does it tell us about the changing nature of love and sexuality?In contrast to those who praise online dating as a democratization of love and those who condemn it as a commodification of intimacy, this book tells a different story about how and why online dating became big. The key to understanding the growing prevalence of digital dating lies in what Marie Bergström calls "the privatization of intimacy." Online dating takes courtship from the public to the private sphere and makes it a domestic and individual practice. Unlike courtship in traditional settings such as school, work, and gatherings of family and friends, online dating makes a clear distinction between social and sexual sociability and renders dating much more discrete. Apparently banal, this privatizing feature is fundamental for understanding both the success and the nature of digital matchmaking. Bergström also sheds light on the persisting inequalities of intimate life, showing that online dating is neither free nor fair: it has its winners and losers and it differs significantly according to gender, age and social class.Drawing on a wide range of empirical material, this book challenges what we think we know about online dating and gives us a new understanding of who, why, and how people go online to seek sex and love.

Self-Esteem: This Book Includes: Self-Esteem Workbook + Master Your Emotions + Self-Esteem for Introvert People + Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Self-Esteem: Life Starts Out of Your Head! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 693min

Self-esteem, particularly when it is already low, can lead to serious issues, exacerbating both depression and anxiety. When someone has low self-esteem, he or she is likely to feel as though improving their situation is impossible.Those with low self-esteem often get so caught up in their own feelings about lacking self-worth that they cannot actually make the progress that is necessary to defeat negative thinking.Your well-being is intricately linked to your perception of the self. This perception is affected by your external environment (the people you interact with on a daily basis) as well as your internal environment (your dominant thoughts and feelings about who you are.) This is why it is a good idea to surround yourself with positive people and ideas that can sustain your inner positivity. If your external environment is constantly bombarded by negativity, there is a great chance for it to dampen whatever positivity that exists in your inner environment.If you feel as though you have struggled with your ability to restructure your thoughts yourself, or that you will be inefficient or ineffective in your attempts, you may also take this time to address any issues that you are having with a therapist who can guide you through the process of CBT, catering it to your own personal situation and preferences.Despite the fact that so many people may feel as though therapy is stigmatized or a sign of weakness, it is actually the opposite. When you engage in therapy, you recognize that you have a problem.Rather than running away from it, you are facing it head-on. In doing so, you are able to admit that you need help. It takes courage to ask for help, as it involves admitting that you are not capable of dealing with the problem on your own, and many people shy away from doing so. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 859min

In this best-selling expose of national policy gone wrong, America's foremost historian of education, Diane Ravitch, renounces her support for reform policies implemented over the past decade that she says are wrecking America's cherished tradition of public education. Strategies like accountability schemes based on questionable standardized tests, merit pay for teachers based on gains on the same unreliable tests, vouchers, and charter schools have been oversold as solutions for our educational problems. Policymakers pushing a market model of reform and charter schools are on the wrong track, ignoring classroom realities. The more they push these policies, Ravitch says, the more they will harm our nation's school system and undermine the quality of education. The bipartisan No Child Left Behind program ("NCLB") implemented with a heavy political hand nationwide, has failed to improve education. It has turned our schools into testing factories to train children how to take standardized tests instead of giving them the knowledge and skills that are necessary components of a good education. The federal "sanctions" and "remedies" now mandated nationwide have unfairly stigmatized thousands of schools, putting them at risk of being closed and privatized. The "miracles" touted by districts under the new policies vanish on close examination. Test scores in many states and districts are inflated by statistical game-playing and lowered standards. The over-emphasis on testing has all but eliminated the essential elements of a solid education, including history, civics, science, the arts, geography, literature, physical education, health education, and foreign languages. Privatization and deregulation has led predictably to some good and some bad but, on average, charters do not get better results than regular public schools-just new federal subsidies. Teacher evaluation by student test scores is a deeply flawed approach to hiring and job tenure that ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eliza Foss.
