The Worth of Souls: Abomination of Sex Slaves in Southeast Asia (Death in the Dragon's House, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min
The inky black room and the horrible smells left little doubt this was a dungeon; a wretched hell intended to defeat the spirit and humanity of those it confined. The occupants were children, thrust into the hell they now faced through no act of their own, but by the depraved and morally bankrupt men and women who sold their lives and young bodies to fulfill their own greed. The door cracked open ever so slightly. Into the blackness, a wretch of a man crept. The dim, back-light of the outside hallway showed his skinny, almost bald figure as if it were in a spotlight. His torn, ragged clothes hung on a dirty, pox-scarred body. The rope holding up his bloomer-like pants was untied. His almost toothless, evil grin screamed his intentions. Each child shrank in fear from the sight before them. What had they ever done to deserve this nightmare? Did God hate them this much? Their fears were not sanctioned by governments, but by a depraved humanity. Members of SEAL Team One quietly entered the building after eliminating the feeble resistance of a few untrained guards. If discovered, it meant the SEALS caused all out war between two nations not yet at war, for this was an armed invasion. These are the human stories; stories of the love of fellow man. Stories not found in the hate-spewing news. Stories instead revealed from downgraded, classified files and told here in The Worth of Souls. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Sexson.

Parenting: How to Be a Great Parent and Raise Awesome Kids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min
There's nothing like being a parent. Parenting is the absolute greatest and most honorable job on earth. It's also the most difficult, terrifying, amazing, and most fulfilling job on earth. When it comes to raising kids, most parents are eager to listen and learn from those who've been-there-done-that. We crave knowing what works and what doesn't when it comes to getting your baby to sleep through the night, potty training, homework, monitoring social media, setting rules and guidelines, and all those other parenting "things". I want to suggest, however, that parenting is about much more than the things that have just been mentioned. Parenting is about teaching our children who to be and not just what to be. Or as I like to say, "Parenting is being there; listening, talking, forgiving, asking forgiveness and most of all, loving with the same unconditional love we receive from Jesus." That's the reason for this book - to provide you with the encouragement and instruction necessary to raise up your children to be respectful, intelligent, confident, compassionate, responsible, and godly people - you know, Awesome Kids :-) Each of the individual subject matters we're going to look at will address both the physical or tangible aspects and the intangible or emotional aspects of parenting.

The Genius Checklist: Nine Paradoxical Tips on How You Can Become a Creative Genius , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min
What it takes to be a genius: nine essential and contradictory ingredients.What does it take to be a genius? A high score on an IQ test? Brilliant physicist Richard Feynman's IQ was too low for membership in Mensa. Suffering from varying degrees of mental illness? Creativity is often considered a marker of mental health. Be a child prodigy like Mozart, or a later bloomer like Beethoven? Die tragically young, like Keats, or live to a ripe old age like Goethe? In The Genius Checklist, Dean Keith Simonton examines the key factors in creative genius and finds that they are more than a little contradictory. Simonton, who has studied creativity and genius for more than four decades, draws on both scientific research and stories from the lives of famous creative geniuses that range from Isaac Newton to Vincent van Gogh to Virginia Woolf. He explains the origin of IQ tests and the art of estimating the IQ of long-dead historical figures (John Stuart Mill: 200; Charles Darwin: 160). He compares IQ scores with achieved eminence as measures of genius, and he draws a distinction between artistic and scientific genius. He rules out birth order as a determining factor (in the James family alone, three geniuses at three different birth-order positions: William James, first born; Henry James, second born; Alice James, born fifth and last); considers Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule; and describes how the “lone” genius gets enmeshed in social networks.Genius, Simonton explains, operates in ways so subtle that they seem contradictory. The domain of child prodigies and their elders, genius is born and made. Simonton's checklist gives us a new, integrative way to understand geniuses - and perhaps even to nurture your own genius! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Henning.

Memories of a Theoretical Physicist
A groundbreaking theoretical physicist traces his career, reflecting on the successes and failures, triumphs and insecurities of a life cut short by cancer. The groundbreaking theoretical physicist Joseph Polchinski explained the genesis of his memoir this way: "Having only two bodies of knowledge, myself and physics, I decided to write an autobiography about my development as a theoretical physicist." In this posthumously published account of his life and work, Polchinski (1954-2018) describes successes and failures, triumphs and insecurities, and the sheer persistence that led to his greatest discoveries. Writing engagingly and accessibly, with the wry humor for which he was known, Polchinski gives theoretical physics a very human face. Polchinski, famous for his contributions to string theory, may have changed the course of modern theoretical physics, but he was a late bloomer-doing most of his important work after the age of forty. His death from brain cancer at sixty-three cut short a career at its peak. Working on the memoir after his diagnosis, using a text-to-speech algorithm because he could no longer read words on a page, he was able to recapitulate his entire career, down to the details of problems he had worked on. For Polchinski, physics went deeper than words. This edition includes photographs from Polchinski's professional and family life, as well as physics explainer boxes, other technical edits, and bibliographic notes by his former student Ahmad Almheiri, a foreword by Andrew Strominger, and an afterword by his wife Dorothy Chun and sons Steven and Daniel.- Shop: buecher

Changing Collars: Lessons in Transitioning from Blue-Collar Roots to White-Collar Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 685min
Millions of Americans are struggling, and will struggle, to succeed in their white-collar careers given that they have grown up in a blue-collar background. Changing Collars is an enabling memoir focused upon helping millions of current and future blue-collar Americans succeed in their white-collar careers. Drawing upon his experiences growing up in a blue-collar family and in his 35 years of learning the soft skills and tools needed to climb the corporate ladder in a white-collar world, Daniel Muller shares valuable insights to help millions of "blue-collar root" employees who are starting or in the midst of their white-collar careers. Muller grew up in a blue-collar small town in Ohio, where he learned the ‘blue-collar’ mentality. He held several blue-collar jobs while working his way through college. However, upon beginning his first job in the professional white-collar world, he realized that his blue-collar mentality was an obstacle to success. He was eventually able to transcend his blue-collar background and achieve career success, albeit as a late bloomer. He ended his career as a senior vice president for a Fortune 500 company and also held other executive roles. Combining his lessons learned, along with those of highly respected peers in his industry, Changing Collars provides insightful and practical lessons that can be readily applied by anyone in, or beginning, a white-collar career. The book discusses the significant differences between blue-collar and white-collar cultures as well as highlighting the common misunderstandings that blue-collar candidates have about the white-collar world. The lessons are organized by early-career, middle-career, and late-career examples. These lessons were peer-validated and proven to be effective. If you are searching for the keys to future white-collar success, this audiobook will be an important guide that can be used and referred to throughout your career. ungekürzt. Language: English.
