    Disable Your Disability: Live the Healthy Life You Deserve! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min
    Disable Your Disability is a journey into self-discovery, a look into the gift of embracing circumstances that hold us back, and powerful concepts with sure-fire methods for taking action toward living the healthy life we deserve. If you live with a physical disability, limited mobility, or something else that is holding you back from living a healthy lifestyle, Tony's personal story, coupled with his clear and concise methodology, will help you gain insight and confidence, and get you clear on what it will take for you to achieve your health and fitness goals. Because he was born with a rare bone disorder, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bones), Tony used a wheelchair and crutches through his childhood and into his early 20's. When he was 24 years old, he finally took his first unassisted steps and started walking. Because he was scared of breaking more bones and had always been told to 'be careful', Tony remained inactive through his 20's and 30's and his overall health suffered. At age 42, he found himself overweight, dealing with pain in his legs, hips, and back, and using medications to suppress daily heartburn. After a visit to the doctor, he knew something had to change. Tony finally embraced his disability and transformed his entire life! Within 8 months, he began doing things physically that he, and many others, never thought possible. Now, through his dedication to helping others, Tony is coaching, speaking, and building an unstoppable online presence to spread the word that everyone deserves to live a healthy, high-powered, and happy life! ungekürzt.

    Carlo Scarpa, Castelvecchio, Verona
    Carlo Scarpa began to come into national prominencewith several designs for exhibitions.The first were in Venice: "Paul Klee" (1948) forthe 1949 Biennale, "Giovanni Bellini" (1949) atthe Palazzo Ducale, "Toulouse Lautrec" (1952)at the Palazzo Correr, and "Tiepolo" for the1952 Biennale. Others followed: "Quattrocento"(1953) at Messina town hall and "Piet Mondrian"(1956) at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Modernain Rome. Such commissions finally led him intothe design of museum interiors: among many,his most celebrated were the Museo dell'Accademia(1952-56) and the Museo Correr (1953to 1969), both in Venice, the Palazzo Abbatellis(1953/54) in Palermo, the Gipsoteca Canovianain Possagno (1955-57) and the Museo di Castelvecchio(1956-64) in Verona. Scarpa's exhibit designsand museum interiors present a differentway of seeing. On the one hand, seeing the objectthrough provision of a sympathetic settingfor it; on the other, seeing contemporary "modern" architecture in the context of the culturalcontinuum that has carried it to where it nowmomentarily hovers. The Museo di Castelvecchiowas developed on the bombed ruins of theScaligery family's medieval castle in Verona. Firstcommissioned to redesign the oldest section ofthe building, Scarpa was later asked to completethe museum. The work is a monument to Scarpa'ssensibilties about time and place. Accordingto critic Nory Miller he "achieved an extraordinarycoexistence involving architecture of differentcenturies, including this one ... withoutthe crutches of neutral glass linkages, uniformmaterials, or historical references ... Each angle,shape, surface is chosen to engage the attentionor participation of the visitor." Indeed, the symbiosisbetween Scarpa's work and the survivingfabric is such that differences are hardly apparent.With his infinitive capacity for fine detailing,he touched the past lightly; because he was soconscious of continuity the museum gives the"sense that construction has been supended".(After Donald Leslie Johnson and Donald Langmead.)Valeria Carullo is curator of the Robert ElwallPhotographs Collection in the Royal Institute ofBritish Architects, Paola Marini is director andAlba Di Lieto curator of the Musei d'Arte Monumentiof the city of Verona. Richard Bryant isone of the best-known architectural photographers,working all over the world. He is the onlyphotographer with an honorary fellowship ofthe Royal Institute of British Architects.

    Checkout: The Step-by-Step, 7C Method to Build a Dominant Ecommerce Brand , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
    Ecommerce is evolving, and it's making building a profitable ecommerce business harder than ever.What worked five years ago is now a dead end. Digital marketing today is lazy. It prioritizes paid users even though every entrepreneur knows organic users represent a much higher lifetime value. But attracting paid users is so much faster and easier, and entrepreneurs are blinded by the FOMO of short-term crutches like discounting to boost sales at any cost. That cost is often nonexistent retention rates that bleed your profits and only creates more desperation for quick conversions. Most retailers end up trying to compete on price, a game you're always going to lose, and get trapped trading their time for money, the same rat race most entrepreneurs started their own business to escape.There is a way to stop micromanaging your business and focus on scaling it: You need a brand.Consumers always buy for the same reasons, whether online or offline, but ecommerce has profoundly changed buying behavior and the typical buyer's journey. In the early days of ecommerce, having a good SEO strategy and attractive website design was enough to generate sales, so brand development was largely seen as an unnecessary expense.With the economic disruption from social distancing, more demographics are shifting to online shopping, and it's accelerating ecommerce's evolution exponentially. Consumers expect a seamless experience that reflects their values and offers more than a transaction. To achieve this, what you need today is an approach that marries the customer insights and the strategic direction of branding with the tools of ecommerce. After every category has been disrupted and saturated with DTC offers, building a strong brand is quickly becoming the only way to differentiate your business amongst competitors.You need the 7C's.In Checkout: The eCommerce Branding Book, Neil Verma, a former corporate brand execu ungekürzt.

    Mama's Boy: A Story from Our Americas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 852min
    This heartfelt, deeply personal memoir explores how one a celebrated filmmaker and activist and his conservative Mormon mother built bridges across today’s great divides - and how our stories hold the power to heal. Dustin Lance Black wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for Milk and helped overturn California’s anti-gay marriage Proposition 8, but as an LGBTQ activist he has unlikely origins - a conservative Mormon household outside San Antonio, Texas. His mother, Anne, was raised in rural Louisiana and contracted polio when she was two years old. She endured brutal surgeries, as well as braces and crutches for life, and was told that she would never have children or a family. Willfully defying expectations, she found salvation in an unlikely faith, raised three rough-and-rowdy boys, and escaped the abuse and violence of two questionably devised Mormon marriages before finding love and an improbable career in the US civil service. By the time Lance came out to his mother at age 21, he was a blue-state young man studying the arts instead of going on his Mormon mission. She derided his sexuality as a sinful choice and was terrified for his future. It may seem like theirs was a house destined to be divided, and at times it was. This story shines light on what it took to remain a family despite such division - a journey that stretched from the steps of the US Supreme Court to the woodsheds of East Texas. In the end, the rifts that have split a nation couldn’t end this relationship that defined and inspired their remarkable lives. Mama’s Boy is their story. It’s a story of the noble quest for a plane higher than politics - a story of family, foundations, turmoil, tragedy, elation, and love. It is a story needed now more than ever. ungekürzt.

    Manchild: My Life Without Adult Supervision , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min
    Alan Olifson has a knack for taking relatable experiences - parenting mistakes, botched home improvements, the hassles of having to act like a grownup - and making them way funnier than I remember them being when they happened to me. (Jonathan Green, writer/producer of Superstore and The Office)"How to use a hacksaw? Car maintenance advice? How to avoid getting hustled by a 12-year-old psychic? You will not likely find answers to those questions in Alan Olifson's hilarious, smart, real collection of essays. But you'll laugh, like a lot, as you read about Olifson's journey to figure it all out." (Rachna Fruchbom, writer of Fresh Off the Boat and Parks and Recreation)"Alan Olifson isn't just funny. As he proves in Manchild, he's whip smart and deeply honest. And the guy has a gigantic heart. All that is evident in this lovely collection as it was from the moment I first read his work: Over a decade ago Alan walked into a class I was teaching at UCLA Extension. Actually, he hobbled in on crutches. Naturally we all wanted to know: Skiing accident? Football? Maybe luge? Then he read us the story and had us all doubled over with laughter." (Amy Friedman, author of Desperado's Wife: A Memoir)"Olifson's witty and self-deprecating essays perfectly capture the frantic race to grow up just a little bit before your kids do." (Gemma Baker, writer/producer and co-creator of Mom)"In 38 essays over 144 pages, the comedian and humorist explores his general life-skills deficit, from childhood tee-ball traumas and collegiate drinking binges to his foibles as a parent. If the essays, just two to four pages long each, read like monologues or humor columns - David Sedaris crossed with Dave Barry - Olifson comes by it honestly.... Manchild is perfect bathroom reading, and that's no insult." (Bill O'Driscoll, Pittsburgh City Paper) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Olifson.

    I'm an Idiot, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min, (USK 18)
    A multitalented farm boy from Hutchinson, Kansas, Brett Riley considers himself the proverbial everyman. Everyone who comes across this "slim-fat" white guy with a small-town Kansas demeanor and a friendly "I've met this guy before" face has the same reaction: "Didn't see that coming." An accomplished comedian and vocalist with an endless grab bag of stories, observations, and opinions, his motto is "forget the formula", because "we are the formula, and in a nutshell, we should strive to leave our own footprints rather than follow in those of others". His comedy career was born at the age of 20, when he was signed up by a friend for an open-mic night. "The club owner said that he was going to give me the light in five minutes, and that means you're done and off stage, no questions asked. But the light never came on, and, at the time where I realized I'd been up there for about 15 minutes, I thanked the crowd and went off. The club owner came up to me and offered me two hundred dollars to come back and open for the guy he had coming in from Memphis, which for us was the big city. That's where it started." Two years after moving to LA, Brett was stopped in his tracks by a near-fatal car accident. Afraid of being forgotten, he limped back onstage with crutches just two weeks after the accident. Today, after doing stand-up for 15 years, Brett is a crowd favorite. His act is ever evolving, much like himself. His material comes from his real-life experiences. He talks about life as a married dad, his real-life frustrations, and his take on pop culture. His audiences find him totally relatable and engaging. Brett Riley is a stand out performer in a Los Angeles comedy scene that is overflowing with talent. He is a force to be reckoned with! Language: English. Narrator: Brett Riley.

    Scandalous Scotsman: A Hero Club Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 339min
    One trip down the stairs, caused by a lone Lego, while wrapped in a towel, spewing a plethora of profanities, and my cell phone went flying.  I landed on my ass, and then the ER.  Between those two occurrences was a FaceTime call, placed by a bouncing phone, to the number of a man I didn’t even truly look at, who had now seen more of my body than anyone had since my Tinder days, over a year ago.  Three declined calls later, I limped out the door to get myself to the ER before starting my hectic day.  The ER was packed, but when I saw Nurse Bridget, one of my students’ mothers, I pleaded my case, and she hurried me into an examination room.  An hour later, I left on crutches with a bruised ass, a fractured ankle, and an appointment to see an orthopedic surgeon at four p.m.  Arriving 15 minutes late for that appointment, I heard the sexy yet very brash accent of a man who clearly had an obsession with punctuality and had, apparently, no bedside manner. Dr. Ethan Stewart, tall, copper-haired, sinfully sexy...was a total ass.  After a tongue-lashing about how irresponsible I was to, first, leave the ER with such an injury, and second, be late, I put him in his place...or so I thought.  Turned off by his arrogant attitude, turned on by the roguish glint in his green eyes and the way he spoke, I left his office a hot...and wet mess.  Upon exiting, my phone rang again. It was the same number from before, and I couldn’t help answering to give the caller a piece of my mind.  Once in my car, I hung up, tossed my phone on the passenger seat, and then looked out the window to see him with his phone to his ear and a grin spread across his far too handsome face. It couldn’t be.... Could it? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grace Grant, Will Watt. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/055572/bk_adbl_055572_sample.mp3.

    The Man Who Never Stopped Sleeping , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
    From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed author called "one of the greatest writers of the age" (Guardian) comes this story of a Holocaust survivor, wounded in body and spirit, who takes his first steps toward creating a life for himself in the newly established state of Israel. Erwin doesn't remember much about his journey across Europe after the war ended - with good reason. He spent most of it asleep, carried by other survivors as they emerged from their hiding places or were liberated from the camps and traveled by train, by truck, by wagon, or on foot to Naples, where they filled the refugee camps and wondered what was to become of them. As he struggles to stay awake, Erwin becomes part of a group of young boys being trained in both body and mind for their new lives in Palestine. The fog of sleep gradually lifts, and when he and his comrades arrive in Israel, they are assigned to a kibbutz, where they learn how to tend to land and how to speak their new language. But a part of Erwin desperately clings to the past - to memories of his parents and other relatives, to his mother tongue, to the Ukrainian city where he was born - and he knows that who he was is just as important as who he is now becoming. When wounded while on night patrol, Erwin must spend months recovering from multiple surgeries and trying to regain use of his legs. As he exercises his body, he exercises his mind as well, copying passages from the Bible in his newly acquired Hebrew and working up the courage to create his own texts in this language both old and new, hoping to succeed as a writer where his beloved father had failed. With the support of friends and of other survivors, and with the ever-present memory of his mother to spur him on, Erwin takes his first tentative steps with his crutches - and with his pen. Once again Aharon Appelfeld mines heart-wrenching personal experience to create masterful fiction with a universal resonance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lance Rubin.
