    Alive at Work: The Neuroscience of Helping Your People Love What They Do , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 282min
    Poll after poll has confirmed that an astonishing number of workers are disengaged from their work. Why is this happening? And how can we fix the problem?  In this bold, enlightening book, social psychologist and professor Daniel M. Cable takes leaders into the minds of workers and reveals the surprising secret to restoring their zest for work. Disengagement isn't a motivational problem, it's a biological one. Humans aren't built for routine and repetition. We're designed to crave exploration, experimentation, and learning - in fact, there's a part of our brains, which scientists have coined "the seeking system", that rewards us for taking part in these activities. But the way organizations are run prevents many of us from following our innate impulses. As a result, we shut down.  Things need to change. More than ever before, employee creativity and engagement are needed to win. Fortunately, it won't take an extensive overhaul of your organizational culture to get started. With small nudges, you can personally help people reach their fullest potential. Alive at Work reveals:  How to encourage people to bring their best selves to work and use their greatest strengths to help your organization flourish  How to build creative environments that motivate people to share ideas, work smarter, and embrace change  How to enhance people's connection to their work and your customers  How to create personalized experiences that help people feel a deeper sense of purpose  Filled with fascinating stories from the author's extensive research, Alive at Work is the inspirational guide that you need to tap in to the passion, creativity, and purpose fizzing beneath the surface of every person who falls under your leadership. ungekürzt.

    The Yellowwood Tree , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    In 1918, World War One and the Spanish Flu left unimaginable numbers of orphaned children. In every corner of the planet, one person in 20 perished. Emma Taylor is a 12-year-old girl living on a farm in Indiana. Her mother is taken by the flu, and her father dies in The Great War. Children left without their parents due to war or influenza do not fare well. They are most often thrown into orphanages, and their homes auctioned off at pennies on the dollar to a select group of buyers. Emma must keep secret that only children are living at Yellowwood Farm. Emma struggles to cope and care for her younger brother. When her neighbor falls ill, she takes in his twin grandsons. Their parents were killed by the flu, and they have nowhere to go. Emma cannot refuse him. He relieved her of the terrible burden of burying her mother. The following spring, two more children come to Yellowwood Farm. Emma hides a brother and sister who ran away from an orphan train to avoid being separated. In 1918, Indiana enacted a bone-dry law, prohibiting the possession of alcohol of any sort. When the state realized the enormous cost of enforcing the new law, Indiana’s Attorney General issued badges to Klan members. They were given powers to conduct investigations and make arrests. Accepting Holy Communion was punishable by law.This story is about six orphaned children struggling to stay together and run Yellowwood Farm in a time of war, pandemic, and the second coming of the Ku Klux Klan. Emma changes the world with relentless gentle nudges - punctuated by the rare shotgun blast. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cory Hance.

    Waking Up in Winter: In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
    Internationally recognized coach and New York Times best-selling author Cheryl Richardson has toured the world empowering others to make lasting change. But when Richardson's own life no longer worked as it once had, a persistent inner voice offered unmistakable guidance: It was time to reevaluate her life to uncover what really mattered. Waking Up in Winter is the candid and revelatory account of how at midlife, Richardson found renewed contentment and purpose through a heroic inward journey. The unfolding story, told through intimate journal entries, follows Richardson from the first gentle nudges of change to a thoughtfully reimagined life - a soulful spring awakening. With an experienced coach's intuition and an artist's eye, Richardson reexamines everything - her marriage, her work, her friendships, and her priorities - gracefully shedding parts of the self that no longer serve along the way. In the end she not only discovers what really matters at midlife; she invites readers to join her in the inquiry process by providing thought-provoking questions designed to usher them through their own seasons of transformation. Offering up Richardson's most powerful teaching tool yet - her own life - Waking Up in Winter takes listeners on a brave spiritual adventure that shows us all how to live a more authentic and meaningful life. Special bonus material: Cheryl has included a special section in this audio program where she discusses the series of questions at the end of the book. These questions (and the discussion) are meant to encourage your own transformational journey. You can use them with a journal, in discussions with a friend or support partner, or with your book group. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cheryl Richardson.

    Cranford , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses above a certain rent are women. This is how our guide and narrator, Mary Smith, introduces us to the small English country town of Cranford. Young, modern Mary gives us her Austen-like view of small-town customs, Victorian values, decorum, and etiquette. Mary gives us a charming, sometimes gently mocking comedy of manners. The book is full of character and of characters - the most unforgettable being Miss Matty, the sweet, timid younger daughter of the old rector, a middle-aged spinster in reduced circumstances after a life lived in the shadow of her indomitable, clever sister, Deborah. There are men, too - despite the opening lines: Mr. Holbrook, long ago rejected by Miss Matty's family as an unsuitable suitor (comparison with Jane Austen's Persuasion is irresistible); and Peter, Matty's brother, thrashed by their rector father for an unsuitable jape, who ran away to sea and died in India. Or did he? This sweet, funny, heartwarming book is a series of vignettes, sometime hilarious, sometimes deeply moving - and always uplifting. It is a book about kindness and generosity: We meet the delightfully artless maid Martha, who, shockingly, nudges a guest when they are too slow in helping themselves to food, yet offers Miss Matty a home when she is in need. Over the years the BBC has produced several series about Cranford, based on this and other Gaskell books: To many, Dame Judi Dench was the perfect Miss Matty. As Mary says in her parting lines, "We all love Miss Matty, and I somehow think we are all of us better when she is near us." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Linda Barrans.

    Them: Why We Hate Each Other - and How to Heal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
    From the New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing American Adult, an intimate and urgent assessment of the existential crisis facing our nation.Something is wrong. We all know it.American life expectancy is declining for a third straight year. Birth rates are dropping. Nearly half of us think the other political party isn’t just wrong; they’re evil. We’re the richest country in history, but we’ve never been more pessimistic.What’s causing the despair?In Them, bestselling author and U.S. senator Ben Sasse argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, our crisis isn’t really about politics. It’s that we’re so lonely we can’t see straight—and it bubbles out as anger.Local communities are collapsing. Across the nation, little leagues are disappearing, Rotary clubs are dwindling, and in all likelihood, we don’t know the neighbor two doors down. Work isn’t what we’d hoped: less certainty, few lifelong coworkers, shallow purpose. Stable families and enduring friendships—life’s fundamental pillars—are in statistical freefall.As traditional tribes of place evaporate, we rally against common enemies so we can feel part of a team. No institutions command widespread public trust, enabling foreign intelligence agencies to use technology to pick the scabs on our toxic divisions. We’re in danger of half of us believing different facts than the other half, and the digital revolution throws gas on the fire.There’s a path forward—but reversing our decline requires something radical: a rediscovery of real places and human-to-human relationships. Even as technology nudges us to become rootless, Sasse shows how only a recovery of rootedness can heal our lonely souls.America wants you to be happy, but more urgently, America needs you to love your neighbor and connect with your community. Fixing what's wrong with the country depends on it.    ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben Sasse. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aren/003423/bk_aren_003423_sample.mp3.

    Pieces of My Heart (eBook, ePUB)
    Pieces of My Heart is a book of poems that speaks to the challenges of life as it relates to love, hate, happiness, sadness, defeat, conquering, hopelessness, and overcoming. Sometimes in life we share and shed pieces of our heart to mold and renew ourselves. There are times in life where we sleep and are just existing, and there are times when God shakes us up so that we can be awakened.There is one thing that binds us together and that is love. Love comes from the heart. It doesn't hide anything or expect anything; it just is. We all can relate to feelings of frustration, despair, loneliness, not feeling heard, or validated. When these feelings arise, it pains the heart. On the other hand, when we experience love and self-worth, our hearts are on fire and filled with joy.Pieces of My Heart is a little token of my Christian walk. This road and path are not always easy. Sometimes I fall short, but I am reminded that no matter what, I'm not alone. God is with me every step of the way. He is there when I'm down and feel like giving up. God will put people in your path to rescue you and place your feet on solid ground. God nudges our hearts in different directions and different spaces to strengthen us and remind us that he has control of the situations no matter what. I'm sharing pieces of my heart to help inspire and touch others or remind you to never give up.

    Santa Takes a Tumble: 12 Days of Christmas Past for "Kids" Beyond Belief , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    You may not believe in Santa Claus, at least not at your current age, but if you celebrate Christmas, you know there was a time when you believed with all your heart, a time when you weren’t quite sure, and a time when the truth became all too clear. The 12 stories that follow reflect a mix of those emotions and events, told by the man - then boy - who experienced them in the early 1950s. As anyone who has experienced Christmas morning can tell you, there will be joy and pain, disappointment, and even heartbreak - the whole panoply of emotions on proud and not-so-proud display. Most of the stories are funny, and some are poignant; all are meant to remind you of your own stories of those halcyon days when you laid in bed with toothpicked eyes, trying with all your might to stay awake long enough to see the jolly old elf. And so we begin. I am eight again, tugging on shoes too small and holey mittens warmed overnight on the living room radiator. I have already donned two pairs of pants and my only three shirts to brace myself against the cold. My mother appears beside me, young and pretty as always, insisting I wear my Christmas scarf, a scratchy abomination as long as an anaconda, knitted loosely and tightly by my Aunt Louise, using a geometry known only to her. Despite my protests, she wraps Scarf Louisienne around my neck several times and nudges me toward the front door. Outside, the world is white and still, the only sound the whisper of the falling snow. I lift my head to the snowy heavens, stick out my tongue, and accept winter’s cold communion. Come, we have much to see. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stuart Gauffi.

    Welcome to GlothAfter the sudden and mysterious death of his father, a young fool becomes the ruler of 12 whole sun systems and quickly discovers he has some very nasty enemies. Particularly the ones who, quite quickly, start shooting at him.In a remarkable turn of events, a young man with a lot definitely not going for him manages to come to terms with a startling reality. He has to grow up. Being handicapped by having rather nasty acne and an odd eye impediment, he also has to suffer the fact that his name is February. Or, at best, Feb to his very limited number of friends.While not at all wishing to rush into this startling new reality, circumstances and a few elbow nudges from his very protective elder sister ensure that his "not at all wishing" turns out to be a complete waste of time. Thrust totally and unwillingly into a position of authority by early afternoon, February finds himself with a new appendage tacked on to the end his name. The Fifth. The new and very authoritative part of his name. February the Fifth and Supreme Potentate of the 12 Sun Systems of Gloth.Of course, as is the case in all such rapid and thrusting types of promotion to positions of power, there will be those who are not happy about it. In February’s case, however, he finds that in fact these those amount to just about everyone apart from his three sisters.Undaunted by this reality, Feb accepts his new responsibility and by early evening sets about getting himself into a real tangle. His only true achievement being that he discovers that quite a few of these those who weren’t so happy are in fact really very upset about the whole Fifth appendage deal. By bedtime, he thinks he is in trouble.Before lunchtime the next day, he is sure.Listen to February the Fifth, a laugh a minute romp around the galaxy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Smarter Screen: Surprising Ways to Influence and Improve Online Behavior , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 399min
    A leading behavioral economist shows how businesses can improve consumer thinking and decision making on screens. The typical American office worker now spends the majority of his or her waking hours staring at a screen. In the 21st century, every business is a digital business, which is why it's so critical to understand how we think and behave online. Acclaimed behavioral economist Shlomo Benartzi reveals a toolkit of interventions for the digital age. Using provocative case studies and engaging exercises, Benartzi shows how businesses can update their nudges to help consumers make better decisions on screens. Consider these solutions: The tournament model used for Wimbledon and March Madness may help consumers identify what they want more easily. While most websites attempt to display as many options as possible, if people can select options from manageable rounds they tend to make better choices. People are more willing to tell a gadget the truth about their risky health behaviors than an actual doctor. When dealing with sensitive subjects, the absence of human feedback - an absence made easy in an age of screens and machines - can be a great advantage. The precise location of an option on a screen can have a massive impact on consumer choice. (In some instances, screen location matters more than personal preference.) The same logic also applies to information, as certain layouts can dramatically influence our levels of attention. Although most websites are designed to make the act of reading as easy as possible, Benartzi explains why this can be a big mistake. Sometimes the careful use of ugly fonts and other forms of "visual disfluency" are an important way to boost reading comprehension and retention. This book will help you transform the challenges of the digital world into powerful new opportunities that will drive your success in an age of screens. PLEASE ungekürzt.
