Grit: The No B.S. Mentality on How to Become a Grind Animal, Hack Your Powers Within and Build Supreme Confidence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
This book is about providing you with guidelines in the proceeding chapters that can help you develop a "grit" mentality to achieve the goals you are trying to accomplish. It is a handy tool that is targeted to all audiences, especially those who are not blessed with an obvious talent for something but can still find a way to outwork, outsmart, and outperform those who do have talent and academic intelligence. Furthermore, not coming from a position of wealth or privilege can often be an advantage; you do not have the luxury of becoming complacent, which can be critical in hindering the ability to build courage and confidence as you work towards your goal. This book is about how to muster the bravery to begin your journey. Lao Tzu once said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." That is what this book is designed to do: help you gain the courage to take that first step and then guide you towards the subsequent steps that follow through to the path of your accomplishments. The fear of failure before even trying can sometimes be the most difficult obstacle to overcome. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ken Maxon.

Wildflowers of Terezin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
Wildflowers of Terezin is a sweeping historical novel set against a backdrop of danger. A Danish Lutheran pastor's complacent faith is stretched to the breaking point during World War II when he meets a young Jewish nurse, Hanne Abrahamsen, and becomes deeply involved in Resistance efforts to save Denmark's Jews from the Nazi prison camp at Terezin, Czechoslovakia - also known as Theresienstadt. Challenged by his evangelical brother and swayed by his own attraction to Hanne, Pastor Steffen abandons his formerly quiet, uninvolved life and hesitantly volunteers to help smuggle Denmark's Jews out of the country before a Nazi roundup. Steffen finds that helping his Jewish neighbors is the most decent, spiritual thing he has ever done. As he actually does God's work, rather than just talking about it, Steffen's faith deepens and he takes greater risks in his sermons. When things go terribly wrong and Hanne is sent to Terezin, Steffen finds his heart fully engaged. He undertakes protests and rescues that are more and more dangerous, never imagining where it will lead him or the ultimate cost of his decision to get directly involved. ungekürzt.

Silenced by Sound: The Music Meritocracy Myth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
Popular culture has woven itself into the social fabric of our lives, penetrating people's homes and haunting their psyches through images and earworms. Justice, at most levels, is something the average citizen may have little influence upon, leaving us feeling helpless and complacent. But pop music is a neglected arena where concrete change can occur - by exercising active and thoughtful choices to reject the low-hanging, omnipresent corporate fruit, we begin to rebalance the world, one engaged listener at a time.Silenced by Sound is a powerful exploration of the challenges facing art, music, and media. Ian Brennan delves into his personal story to address the inequity of distribution in the arts and demonstrates that there are millions of talented people around the world more gifted than the superstars for whom billions of dollars are spent to promote the delusion that they have been blessed with unique genius.Defined by muscular, terse, and poetic verse, and a nonlinear format rife with how-to tips and anecdotes, the narrative is driven and made corporeal via the author's ongoing field-recording chronicles and his memoir-like reveries.After listening to it, you'll never hear quite the same again. ungekürzt.

This will be the defining issue of the coming decade, and most of us have no idea that it is on our very own doorstep.Barlow is one of the world’s foremost water activists and she has been on the front lines of the world’s water crises for the past 20 years. She has seen first-hand the scale of the water problems facing much of the world, but also many of the solutions that are being applied.

Glee Pembroke has turned down countless offers of marriage because she has secretly been in love with her brother's best friend, Gregory Blankenship, all her life. When she learns Gregory will lose his considerable fortune if he's not wed by his twenty-fifth birthday, she persuades him to enter into a sham marriage with her. What he doesn't know is that she plans to win his heart. She will do everything in her power to make him happy - including mimicking the ways of a “fast” woman since he's noted for alliances with women of that sort. Why did he ever allow himself to marry the maddening Glee? He'd thought they would have great fun, but at every turn, she exasperates him. Why does she persist in wearing the bodice of her dresses so blasted low? Why do other men persist in flirting with her, his wife? And why in the blazes has his heretofore complacent life been turned upside down by this sham marriage? He finds himself longing for a real marriage, but for reasons he cannot divulge, that can never happen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalind Ashford.

For hundreds of years, the Vaians have waited for revenge. Whilst the rulers of men have become greedy and complacent, they have waited, and they have planned. A sadistic and vicious race capable of snaring the soul for enslavement, they are returning to Lirdan to claim back the lands that once belonged to them. One of their own escaped; it didn't matter. They knew she would die. What they didn't know, was that she carried a child. Years after Haelyn's escape from the clutches of her Vaian masters, join Idirin as he struggles to piece together a resistance against the forces he knows are coming to reclaim the souls of mankins. Can he and his headstrong daughter Arroryn stay united for long enough, or are secrets kept for too long destined to tear them apart? Can the embittered sons of the greedy and cruel King Ryn keep the peace between each other to keep the throne united, or are they destined to fail, just like their ancestors had predicted?
