Yours In Wellness, Krystal Heeling: Letters from the Wellness Industry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 143min

Krystal Heeling is the CEO of Verdant Corpora, a boutique wellness brand and, when she writes an email to her brand ambassadors, she doesn’t pull her punches. “If I catch any of you appealing to the broke and not the woke, you will no longer represent our brand,” she writes in one of her trademark missives. Holding tight to the reigns of the power, Krystal wields in the world of supplements, detoxes, and New Age therapies, she crisply and methodically instructs her Wellness Ambassadors on the dos and (many) don’ts of the luxurious wellness industry.In a series of letters, Krystal responds to her team’s legitimate concerns, such as questionable supplement ingredients and lack of scientific evidence for their product claims, while always pointing out why Verdant Corpora is far more ethical than Big Pharma, an industry of profit hounds and data manipulators. Heeling’s underlings fall like flies as they unwittingly commit one solecism after another, falling short of the Paltrowian ideals to which Heeling so ardently aspires; principles that she herself cannot consistently achieve. Yours in Wellness, Dr. Stair’s second book, is a short, incisive, humorous take on the wellness industry that you will be sure to enjoy while sipping an $11 acai-wheatgrass kombucha. As we say in the land of coffee enemas, “Bottoms up!” Erin Stair, MD, MPH, is the founder of bloomingwellness.com, creator of ZENBands, host of the Causes or Cures podcast and author of Manic Kingdom: A True Story of Breakdown and Break-through. She currently lives in New York City. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellen Cohn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/199175/bk_acx0_199175_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Elizabeth Jane Howard: A Dangerous Innocence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 926min

Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923-2014) wrote brilliant novels about what love can do to people, but in her own life the lasting relationship she sought so ardently always eluded her. She grew up yearning to be an actress, but when that ambition was thwarted by marriage and the war, she turned to fiction. Her first novel, The Beautiful Visit, won the John Llewellyn Rhys prize - she went on to write 14 more, of which the best-loved were the five volumes of The Cazalet Chronicle. Following her divorce from her first husband, the celebrated naturalist Peter Scott, Jane embarked on a string of high-profile affairs with Cecil Day-Lewis, Arthur Koestler and Laurie Lee, which turned her into a literary femme fatale. Yet the image of a sophisticated woman hid a romantic innocence which clouded her emotional judgment. She was nearing the end of a disastrous second marriage when she met Kingsley Amis, and for a few years they were a brilliant and glamorous couple - until that marriage too disintegrated. She settled in Suffolk, where she wrote and entertained friends, but her turbulent love life was not over yet. In her early 70s, Jane fell for a con man. His unmasking was the final disillusion and inspired one of her most powerful novels, Falling. Artemis Cooper interviewed Jane several times in Suffolk. She also talked extensively to her family, friends and contemporaries and had access to all her papers. Her biography explores a woman trying to make sense of her life through her writing as well as illuminating the literary world in which she lived. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Domestic Affairs: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 741min

Sex and politics dominate national headlines, but what do these dangerous dalliances look like from inside? Bridget Siegel - veteran of John Edwards' and Barack Obama's presidential bids - tells a provocative, page-turning tale of a talented young woman who falls in love and in bed with the wrong White House candidate. When 20-something fundraiser Olivia Green's good friend taps her to help with the presidential run of her boss, Georgia Governor Landon Taylor, she knows she has just landed her dream political job. Taylor ardently believes in the decency of the American people and the possibility of prosperity for all, including a strong hand up for the working poor. Sacrificing her sleep, comfort, and income to make the world a better place is the obvious call. Right? But what's a girl to do when the man with a vision has the most earnest, captivating blue eyes? And what's a professional on the rise to do when the most charming, erudite, capable, and ostensibly honorable man in the free world wants to take her to bed (but he's married and her boss)? Domestic Affairs: A Campaign Novel vividly captures the fervor and idealism of campaign life, as well as the emotional heat generated from late work hours, splashy fund-raisers, and exotic fact-finding trips abroad. Ultimately, campaigners must decide how much daily principle gets forsaken for the long-term gain of the country - and the very personal needs of a lonely heart. How does it feel for Olivia to keep the biggest secret of her life from her best friend and coworker, because a news leak could destroy the country's next great hope and break her best friend's trust? How far does one go when the end appears to justify the means? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bridget Siegel.

You Have No Idea: A Famous Daughter, Her No-nonsense Mother, and How They Survived Pageants, Hollywood, Love, Loss (and Each Other) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min

The highly anticipated first book by superstar Vanessa Williams and her mother. When Vanessa Williams was growing up, she had a plan: She'd go to college and major in musical theater; afterward she'd get her MFA from the Yale School of Drama, and then she would embark on a successful career on Broadway. But her life took a detour and she wound up the first black Miss America in September 1983 (an accomplishment that she never planned for or desired), only to be forced to resign ten months later due to a nude photo scandal - much to the shock of her mother, Helen, who had told her, "never pose nude for anyone." But Vanessa survived this setback, and many others to come, to enjoy a 30-plus-year career as an award-winning singer and actress. Vanessa has been asked to write her memoir many times, but only now - in collaboration with her mother, Helen - is she ready to tell her story. Vanessa grew up in Millwood, New York, part of one of the town's only African-American families. When Vanessa was a teenager, she and Helen were constantly at odds. But despite their early conflicts, Helen has always ardently protected and supported her daughter, staying in contact with the FBI about the death threats Vanessa received after being crowned and being there for her through the births of her four children and dissolution of her two marriages. Vanessa describes how she's made it through the ups and downs of her life as well as her career - from the The Right Stuff to Kiss of the Spider Woman to Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. Jointly written by Vanessa and Helen, and filled with dozens of personal family photos and mementos, You Have No Idea is an empowering celebration of the love between a mother and daughter and the life, thus far, of a woman who beat the odds to achieve her destiny. ungekürzt.

Bennington Girls Are Easy: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min

Chosen as one of "Summer's Best Books" by People Magazine: "Suprisingly insightful and seriously fun."One of O Magazine's "Season's Best"A Cosmopolitan Magazine "July Reads" Pick Named one of Refinery 29's “21 New Authors to Watch” in 2015Charlotte Silver dazzles with a ruefully funny coming-of-age novel that follows two recent Bennington grads who are determined to make it in the Big Apple. Bennington College, founded in 1932 as a suitable refuge for the wayward daughters of good families, maintains its saucy reputation for attracting free spirits. There, acres outnumber students, the faculty is composed of fading hippie and clothing is largely optional. Or, as J. D. Salinger put it in Franny and Zooey: a Bennington-type "looked like she'd spent the whole train ride in the john, sculpting or painting or something, or as though she had a leotard on under her dress." Cassandra Puffin and Sylvie Furst met in high school but cement what they ardently believe will be everlasting friendship on Bennington's idyllic Vermont campus. Graduation sees Sylvie moving to New York City, where, later on their twenties, Cassandra joins her. These early, delirious years are spent decorating their Fort Greene apartment with flea market gems, dating "artists", and trying to figure out what they're doing with their lives. The girls are acutely and caustically observant of the unique rhythms of the city but tone deaf to their own imperfections, which eventually drives a wedge between them. Equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, Bennington Girls Are Easy is a novel about female friendships - how with one word from a confidante can lift you up or tear you down - and how difficult it is to balance someone else's devastatingly funny lapses in judgment with your own professional and personal missteps. ungekürzt.

The Complete Master Key System: Now including 28 Chapters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min

Nature compels us all to move through life. We could not remain stationary however much we wished. Every right thinking person wants not merely to move through life like a sound-producing, perambulating plant, but to develop - to improve - and to continue the development mentally to the close of physical life. This development can occur only through the improvement of the quality of individual thought and the ideals, actions and conditions that arise as a consequence. Hence a study of the creative processes of thought and how to apply them is of supreme importance to each one of us. This knowledge is the means whereby the evolution of human life on earth may be hastened and uplifted in the process. Humanity ardently seeks "The Truth" and explores every avenue to it. In this process it has produced a special literature, which ranges the whole gamut of thought from the trivial to the sublime - up from divination, through all the philosophies, to the final lofty truth of "The Master Key". "The Master Key" is here given to the world as a means of tapping the great cosmic intelligence and attracting from it that which corresponds to the ambitions and aspirations of each listener. Every thing and institution we see around us, created by human agency, had to first exist as a thought in some human mind. Thought therefore is constructive. Human thought is the spiritual power of the cosmos operating through its creature man. "The Master Key" instructs the listener how to use that power, and use it both constructively and creatively. The things and conditions we desire to become realities we must first create in thought. "The Master Key" explains and guides the process. "The Master Key" teaching has hitherto been published in the form of a correspondence course of 24 lessons, delivered to students one per week for 24 weeks. ungekürzt. Language: English.
