    The Disbelief Habit: How to Use Doubt to Make Peace with Your Inner Critic : Self-Compassion Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 178min
    Can’t stop your critical thoughts? With mindfulness, you have critical thoughts… without the suffering.From an early age, many of us have this critical voice in our head that we call the inner critic. It’s the voice that tells us: You are not good enough.You will never amount to anything.You are a bad person.You don’t deserve love.No one loves you.You can’t do it.We have tried many different exercises and techniques to get rid of it, but nothing works. These intrusive thoughts keep popping up whenever they want. And they make us feel frustrated!Instead of overcoming our self-criticism, we end up making the inner critic our enemy and blame ourselves for having such self-loathing thoughts. Some of us even believe that beating ourselves up is good for us and keeps our behaviors in check.Have you tried to stop your negative thoughts? How is that working for you?Self-criticism isn’t the problem. Our resistance to it is.The truth is we can’t control most of our thoughts. Our unhealthy, habitual ways of thinking are the result of past conditioning, and they have become a part of our protective mechanism. It’s not easy to change this system overnight. Instead of fixing and resisting our thoughts, we can change our unconscious reactions to those judgments. Our inner critic might be unkind to us, but that doesn’t mean we have to believe everything it says. The reason why we continue to feel hurt by our negative self-talk is not that the words are hurtful. It’s because we are quick to believe that these harsh criticisms about us are true!Buy The Disbelief Habit: How to Use Doubt to Make Peace with Your Inner CriticThe purpose of this audiobook is to help you be more aware and skeptical of your self-loathing thoughts.In this book, you’ll learn:  ungekürzt.

    Reproduction: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1012min
    A hilarious, surprising, and poignant love story about the way families are invented, told with the savvy of a Zadie Smith and with an inventiveness all Ian Williams' own, Reproduction bangs lives together in a polyglot suburb of Toronto. Felicia and Edgar meet as their mothers are dying. Felicia, a teen from an island nation, and Edgar, the lazy heir of a wealthy German family, come together only because their mothers share a hospital room. When Felicia's mother dies and Edgar's "Mutter" does not, Felicia drops out of high school and takes a job as Mutter's caregiver. While Felicia and Edgar don't quite understand each other, and Felicia recognizes that Edgar is selfish, arrogant, and often unkind, they form a bond built on grief (and proximity) that results in the birth of a son Felicia calls Armistice. Or Army, for short. Some years later, Felicia and Army (now 14) are living in the basement of a home owned by Oliver, a divorced man of Portuguese descent who has two kids - the teenaged Heather and the odd little Hendrix. Along with Felicia and Army, they form an unconventional family, except that Army wants to sleep with Heather, and Oliver wants to kill Army. Then Army's fascination with his absent father - and his absent father's money - begins to grow as odd gifts from Edgar begin to show up. And Felicia feels Edgar's unwelcome shadow looming over them. A brutal assault, a mortal disease, a death, and a birth reshuffle this group of people again to form another version of the family. Reproduction is a profoundly insightful exploration of the bizarre ways people become bonded that insists that family isn't a matter of blood. This production contains audio effects intended to mimic the author’s intention in writing the novel.

    Anger Management: A Self-Help Guide to Help Take Control of Your Anger, Master Your Emotions with Self-Discipline, and Achieve Freedom from Mental Disorders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 215min
    Are you looking for an effective way for managing anger during everyday situations? Then keep listening....Anger is what you feel when somebody or something rubs you the wrong way. It’s an intense feeling of displeasure, or an expression of unkind words to show a strong dislike for something or somebody. Anger has the same meaning as rage, annoyance, wrath, fury, vexation, indignation, outrage, crossness, irritation, resentment, and so forth. And it can be expressed, not only in words, but also by actions that may include physical harm on the object of your anger.From those other words for anger, you’d easily conclude that it’s one very bad emotion that everybody should try to avoid like a plague. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Instead, more people, rich and poor, in societies across the globe, seem to actively stoke the fire of anger in their respective countries. Anger is widespread and growing. It’s the most common emotion among people in many societies. In the United States, anger wells up against politicians on both partisan platforms. There’s anger across racial lines, in the family circles, by kids against their parents and between spouses. Anger is a fundamental emotion that any normal human being experiences regularly. At an early age, a person learns to express anger by observing their environment. A child might copy the angry behavior they observe being modeled around them. Through this, they learn to express anger and see whether they can get away with anything by throwing tantrums. Most people think of anger as something that’s negative. In many cultures around the world, people find it difficult to express anger because they have been brought up thinking that it’s not right to express your anger directly. Anger, in most cultures, is treated as something dangerous, something that shouldn’t be tolerated. As a result, many people tend to develop anger issues. They spend most of their lives bottling up their emoti ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Olivia Hampton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/196345/bk_acx0_196345_sample.mp3.

    Anger Management for Adults: 3 Manuscripts: Anger Management, Declutter, Mindfulness for Beginners , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
    Most people stereotype anger by assuming it always results in shouting, slamming fists, throwing things, road rage, or domestic violence. However, anger is not that one-dimensional. Have you ever acted on your anger explosively or violently, maybe in reaction to another person’s unkind actions? Or maybe you are the type of person to hold everything in and then resent others through passive-aggressive behavior or by being overly critical? Regardless, you are acting on your anger. It is okay to feel angry, but to act on your anger like this is unacceptable. Expressed anger only propagates and creates more anger - this is how professionally angry TV and radio commentators influence our society. This is not productive; it is better to not have anger created in the first place. However, that is not always feasible. And this is where anger management comes in...to dictate how you direct your anger. You cannot control the words or actions of others, but you can control your actions, your words, and your reactions. Unless you choose to exert your anger through constructive assertiveness over destructive aggression, you'll only propagate more anger - some of which will be directed back at you. But to do this, you need to dig deep. Many times, your current anger or outburst of anger is not due to what is right in front of you at that moment but to unresolved issues from your past. This is a bundle of three audiobooks to help you combat your anger issues as a busy, productive adult: Anger Management: Control Anger & Stop Hurting the One Person that Matters Most - YouDeclutter: Free Your Mind from Mental ClutterMindfulness for Beginners: How Present Living Can Change Your LifeDiscover: What the goal of anger management actually entailsWhy you need anger management - even if you don’t explode when frustratedWhy anger is not a sin to run away ungekürzt.

Probably the most troublesome individuals to manage are the individuals who neglect to assume liability for their lives and who wreak destruction in their connections. About every one of us, at some time, has confronted one of the following: a basic parent, an unkind mate, unappreciative youngsters, a requesting supervisor, double-crossing colleagues, or gossipy companions. On the off chance that these connections have made you feel discouraged, on edge, debilitated, sad, surrendered, or sincerely exhausted, then you may have been in a damaging relationship. Is it true that you are in subjugation to a man? Does somebody control you? Is it accurate to say that you are effortlessly controlled, commanded?

This book offers effective help to being without unnatural subjugations (or soul ties) to individuals, spots, and things. You will take in more about the qualities of a genuine relationship and an indecent relationship.

You're going to find how to recognize indications of an awful relationship, so you can stay away from or escape it. You shouldn't be stuck in or waste your time in poisonous connections in which you aren't being cherished, upheld, regarded, or esteemed. You don't merit this. You can change your predetermination and be upbeat. This book will give data on approaches to escape from a poisonous relationship and approaches to keep up a solid and adoring relationship. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lori L. Parker.

    The Bridge Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 773min
    How far would you go to help a close friend? Is there a place where you might draw the line and simply have to say no? Eight women. Four decades of friendship. One unimaginable request. Where can you find a story about friendship, laughter and the good things in life that also touches on alcoholism, infidelity, porn addiction, illness, and grief? For many women, it's often within their own circle of friends. Whether your BFFs are in their twenties or are seniors, everyone has a story. The Bridge Club reminds us of the complexities of women's friendships through an entertaining and often moving tale of eight women whose lives intersect once a month initially to play the game of bridge. What began as one night turns into four decades that span the segments of a woman's journey from youthful optimism to embracing the challenges and opportunities presented in life's later years. Based loosely on the author's own bridge club, the story weaves the listener through a maze of life's inevitable scenarios. This is a novel for anyone who values friendship. Not simply the "Hi, how are you?" type of friendship but rather the kind that weathers all sorts of storms, unselfishly celebrates triumphs, and hums along year after year with never an unkind word. It does exist. If you have such a friendship in your life you will relate to the women in The Bridge Club. If you don't, perhaps the story will inspire you to search for it. Throughout the story each of the characters faces challenges and change in her life. The Bridge Club emphasizes how honest and loyal friendship helped to enable these changes and how these women empowered and learned from each other in the process. Through laughter, tears, and everything in between the story meets life head-on and affirms that building a strong foundation of friendship is a priceless asset. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Look Who It Is!: My Story, Hörbuch, Digital, 260min
    Famed for his gentle innocence and brilliant observational wit, comedian Alan Carr describes his childhood growing up in a football-mad family in Northampton and his rise to become one of Britain's best-loved comedians. "Puberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, I'd been left with a huge pair of knockers and the voice of a pensioner."-Alan Carr Alan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England: Northampton, a place known for making shoes. It was also famous for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alan's dad as manager of the club was a local hero - a dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E. In his very first book, Alan tells his life story ("oh and what a life") with his unique twist of natural, observational humour - "I'm not saying I'm a fantasist but there have been times when things that I've seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and she'd say 'No Alan, that was Poirot.'" With his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that has made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies and working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians, likened to the great Frankie Howerd, will make his audiobook a guaranteed tickler, with a laugh-out-loud gag at every turn.

Puss in Boots This is the story of a very cunning, imaginative and clever cat. When a miller's son is given a cat by his father he feels a little miffed (after all, his brothers got a working mill and a horse and cart!). But this cat is no ordinary cat and as the story develops the cat's plans to bring fortune to the miller's son unfold. This story from Charles Perrault has been adapted and re-told by Alan Smith.

    Lady Be Good , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 492min
    Set in the 1950s, Lady Be Good marks Amber Brock's mesmerizing return, sweeping readers into the world of the mischievous, status-obsessed daughter of a hotel magnate and the electric nightlife of three iconic cities: New York, Miami, and Havana.  Kitty Tessler is the winsome and clever only child of self-made hotel and nightclub tycoon Nicolas Tessler. Kitty may not have the same pedigree as the tennis club set she admires, but she still sees herself as every inch the socialite - spending her days perfecting her "look" and her nights charming all the blue-blooded boys who frequent her father's clubs. It seems like the fun will never end until Kitty's father issues a terrible ultimatum: she may no longer date the idle rich. Instead, Kitty must marry Andre, her father's second-in-command, and take her place as the First Lady of his hotel empire. Kitty is forced to come up with a wily and elaborate plan to protect her own lofty ideas for the future, as well as to save her best friend, Henrietta Bancroft, from a doomed engagement; Kitty will steal Henrietta's fiancé, a fabulously wealthy but terribly unkind man from a powerful family - thereby delivering the one-two punch of securing her now-fragile place on the social ladder and keeping her friend from a miserable marriage. Then Kitty meets Max, a member of a band visiting New York from her father's Miami club, and her plans take a turn. Smitten, but still eager to convince her father of her commitment to Andre, Kitty and Hen follow Max, Andre, and the rest of the band back down to Miami - and later to Cuba. As Kitty spends more time with Max, she begins waking up to the beauty - and the injustice - of the world beyond her small, privileged corner of Manhattan. And when her well-intended yet manipulative efforts backfire, Kitty is forced to reconsider her choices and her future before she loses everyone she loves. ungekürzt. Language: English.
