  Wild Thoughts: Brooks Family, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 275min

  He's an introvert. She's an extrovert. He's celibate. She's...not. What could possibly go wrong? It started with a little white lie....Lindsay Winthrop's weekly podcast on sex and dating has garnered thousands of listeners across the country, thanks to experience with a loving fiancé she's been with for years. Except, her husband-to-be doesn't exist, and now she's in a bind. With a book deal on the line, she has to find a man fast, and Malik Brooks might be just the man she's looking for. If he knows what's good for him, he'll stay away from her....A few years ago, Malik gave up sex and now works hard as a metal sculptor. In doing so, he's created enough pieces to fill a gallery, and his vow of celibacy has kept him focused. When a major deal falls through, Lindsay makes him an offer he can't refuse, and all he has to do is pretend to be her fiancé. Sounds easy at first, but after one kiss, he wants more. Then, things really get interesting. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Crisden. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/233558/bk_acx0_233558_sample.mp3.

  Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 639min

  Brought to you by Penguin. Quiet, the Sunday Times and New York Times best seller by Susan Cain, will permanently change how we see introverts - and how you see yourself. Our lives are driven by a fact most of us can't name and don't understand: whether we're an introvert or an extrovert. This defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose and whether we blush when we're embarrassed. At least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them, we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers. Yet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathe Mazur.

  Charismatic to the Core: A Fresh Approach to Authentic Leadership , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min

  Are you charismatic enough to be a successful leader?You don’t have to shout or show off to be charismatic. Charisma is often seen as an intangible concept that unconsciously attracts a negative reaction in the world of business. There is a stereotypical image that a charismatic leader is a confident extrovert with a big personality. Even if charisma can be taught, (and many research papers indicate that you either have it or you don’t) the question is: How important is charisma for leadership success? Life puts layers onto individuals, much like paint. Year after year, more layers are added until you no longer know how deeply buried the authentic you is. It’s time to start celebrating the real you! In Charismatic to the Core, Nikki Owen strips away the unwanted layers and takes you back to your authentic self. It is a revelation, a rebirth, a realisation that life can be on your own terms. Your leadership impact can be whatever you desire it to be. When you are being true to who you really are at your core, your charisma shines through. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nikki Owen.

  The Boss's Daughter: A West Coast Hotwifing Novel, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 254min, (USK 18)

  A woman who loves to play the field, a man who doesn't share... Cassandra Montgomery is an independent, free-thinking, career-minded woman. She's left the LA rat race behind and returned to her roots in the San Francisco Bay Area to open a fashion boutique featuring her own designs. She's not out to find Mr. Perfect; she simply enjoys a variety of men who are Mr. Who-cares-if-he's-perfect-it's-just-casual. But then Ward Restin walks in on her.... Hitting on the boss's daughter is always a bad idea, but after discovering Cassandra in a compromising position, Ward can't get the woman out of his mind. She's his complete opposite - an extrovert, a tease, and an exhibitionist. She loves men. She loves more than one at a time. She loves freedom. Ward finds himself drawn into the kinky games she plays, watching her with fascination, wanting her.... Then Ward starts to think of her as his woman, and suddenly he wants more from Cassandra than she's capable of giving. Can he handle a woman who doesn't want any strings? ungekürzt.

  The Accidental Activist: Stories, Speeches, Articles, and Interviews by Vegan Outreach's Cofounder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min

  Not every activist starts out with the goal of changing the world. Some have their life shaped by chance, quirks of timing, and strange coincidences. And an unwillingness - or simple inability - to fully ignore the horrors perpetrated on animals today. Since Matt Ball learned of factory farms well over a quarter century ago, his journey has been anything but linear. Instead, his evolution has been fraught with denial, regression, conflicts, and failures. Matt’s evolution shows that not every activist is a confident extrovert with all the answers. His struggles - often publicly played out in written form, in newsletters, mailings, blogs - have influenced, directly and indirectly, countless individuals. Even though accidental and reluctant, the hard-learned but ultimately pragmatic lessons Matt shares in this book are changing the world. Having learned from years of mistakes, his insights can help others be effective and, hopefully, happier as well. As Peter Singer notes, “A new future is in sight, one that Matt, Vegan Outreach, and other advocates are hard at work creating.” This book can help each of us be a part of bringing about this new future. ungekürzt.

  Nothing's Changed But My Change: The ShoeMoney Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min

  This world of ours has changed, if you haven't noticed. The way we communicate, consume, shop, swap, and date has all changed - we have all changed - because of the Internet. But perhaps it has changed one man most of all. This is the true rags-to-riches, recluse-to-extrovert, fat-to-skinny ShoeMoney Story. Penned with the same irreverence for authority and grammar as his widely read blog, Shoemoney.com, Nothing's Changed but My Change chronicles the journey from a difficult childhood as the fat "dumb" kid to a grown-up place of prominence, wealth, and happiness as one of the world's foremost Internet marketers. At times it's philosophical, provocative, and downright hilarious and at others it's a cursory how-to manual for making a buck and spending it wildly. Transparent and shockingly honest, you can't help but like and identify with the brazen narrator and finish his story with a renewed sense of your own self-confidence and hope. In the end, Schoemaker - the man behind the alias - leaves us with a final understanding that anything's possible if you celebrate yourself and embrace your natural talents because - as he's learned - that's the stuff that never changes. ungekürzt.
