    Kings of Rock & Roll: The Story of Southern Music Legends Eddy and Billy King , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 518min
    Kings of Rock and Roll is the story of Billy and Eddy King, one white, one black, and both musical prodigies. When joined by brothers Danny and Mickey Prince and drummer Phil Jester, they became Kings Court and became teenage music legends in the Deep South in the 1960s and '70s. Their collective stories weave a tantalizingly accurate picture of life in hundreds of textile towns across the Southeast during the era of civil rights and the Vietnam War. Music is the bond that holds the band members together and drives them to the fame and fortune their respective musical talents demand. Neither fame nor fortune, life proves, is in the destiny of two kings, two princes, and a court jester, the five young men who make up Kings Court. The story of how their musical careers begin and end, and how their later years bring them closer together than ever before, creates a tapestry of life in America the 1960s, '70s, and beyond. ungekürzt.

    Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    Mozart wasn't born with perfect pitch. Most athletes are not born with any natural advantage. Three world-class chess players were sisters whose success was planned by their parents before they were even born. Anders Ericsson has spent 30 years studying the special ones - the geniuses, sports stars and musical prodigies. And his remarkable finding, revealed in Peak, is that their special abilities are acquired through training. The innate 'gift' of talent is a myth. Exceptional individuals are born with just one unique ability, shared by us all - the ability to develop our brains and bodies through our own efforts. Anders Ericsson's research was the inspiration for the popular '10,000-hour rule', but, he tells us, this rule is only the beginning of the story. It's not just the hours that are important but how you use them. We all have the seeds of excellence within us - it's merely a question of how to make them grow. With a bit of guidance, you'll be amazed at what the average person can achieve. The astonishing stories in Peak prove that potential is what you make it. ungekürzt. Language: English.
