Free to Make: How the Maker Movement is Changing Our Schools, Our Jobs, and Our Minds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min

Dale Dougherty, creator of MAKE: magazine and the Maker Faire, provides a guided tour of the international phenomenon known as the Maker Movement, a social revolution that is changing what gets made, how it's made, where it's made, and who makes it. Free to Make is a call to join what Dougherty calls the "renaissance of making", an invitation to see ourselves as creators and shapers of the world around us. As the Internet thrives and world-changing technologies - like 3-D printers and tiny microcontrollers - become increasingly affordable, people around the world are moving away from the passivity of one-size-fits-all consumption and command-and-control models of education and business. Free to Make explores how making revives abandoned and neglected urban areas, reinvigorates community spaces like libraries and museums, and even impacts our personal and social development - fostering a mind-set that is engaged, playful, and resourceful. Free to Make asks us to imagine a world where making is an everyday occurrence in our schools, workplaces, and local communities, grounding us in the physical world and empowering us to solve the challenges we face. ungekürzt.

Kierkegaardian Essays (eBook, ePUB)

Søren Kierkegaard argued that the most essential truths come to light by asking "How...?" This innovative collection of essays by leading scholars focuses on this questioning "How?", asking how we should relate to ourselves, to others, and to God; how we should be in the world; how we can become human. The result is a searching, original colloquium on what it means to be Kierkegaardian in the 21st century.The adjective "Kierkegaardian" names many possibilities: ways of philosophizing, choosing, loving, looking, listening, reading, writing, teaching, making art, praying, going to church - or not going to church. "How" gestures to subjectivity, one of Kierkegaard's most fundamental philosophical categories, while "What" signals an objectifying line of thought. The authors of these essays suggest that the crucial Kierkegaardian question is not what we are and ought to do, but how we can remain true to the finitude, passivity, and ambiguity of human existence.While this Kierkegaardian "how" is often acknowledged by scholars, it is rarely thematized directly. Attending to it elicits new kinds of argument and reflection. Kierkegaardian Essays proposes a fresh approach to Kierkegaard, and is essential reading for experts and students alike.

Living in the Eternal I Am: The Power of Now , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min

Somewhat controversial, Living in the Eternal I Am opens Christians’ minds in a unique way to the truth of God outside of time. Prophet Jeremy Lopez calls believers to live in the now reality, putting aside inaction and passivity and truly grasping hold of the truth that God speaks about their lives. God exists in the eternals, which is exactly where you are called to live as well. “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:6 NIV). Time is an illusion when it comes to our nature as children of God. The reality of our true identity in Christ is found in the now. But often we don’t want to deal with our many problems, so we look at the clock and “invent time” as a way to avoiding them. We are more than conquerors - now! We are holy, chosen, beloved, accepted, redeemed, justified, and cleansed - now! These are not future wishes and dreams. These are not time-based actions. These are realities of our true identity in Christ and they are found in the now. **Teaching Series audio recorded from a live author seminar.** ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Lopez.

Your Dichotomy of Control: Learn to Control Your World for a Happy Anxiety-Free Life : Stoicism for a Better Life, Vol. 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min

Life is so short, so control it with a sense of urgency. There is no room for passivity, as time is literally flying by. Every day we have an opportunity to do something, accomplish something, and train for something. Why waste it? If you want to take control of your life, this is the book for you. Anderson Silver has compiled teachings from Stoicism and other schools of thought in the third volume called Your Dichotomy of Control to help you identify what it is you can control and how you can take absolute control over it. A follow-up to the very successful Your User's Manual and Your Duality Within, Vol. 2, this is the last book in the three-book series of Stoicism for a Better Life. As Anderson often does in his works, this collection of thoughts gives the listeners much sought-after answers to some of life's most pressing questions. Meant to be light-listening that the listener can come back to and meditate on periodically, it also provides the tools for managing the dichotomy of control we all face (what it is we want to control versus what we can control) in the ultimate pursuit of an anxiety-free life. ungekürzt.

Think on Purpose: Using Your Mind to Break Free from Anxiety and Depression , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min

More people are struggling with anxiety and depression than ever before. In 2017, US deaths from alcohol, drugs, and suicide hit the highest level since record-keeping began. A newly released study from the National Safety Council found that Americans are now more likely to die from an opioid overdose than a car accident. For the first time in history, humans are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol as an attempt to battle our inner demons, and it is killing us faster than anything else. We already possess the tools and strategies to eliminate anxiety and depression without the need for drugs or alcohol. The human mind has the ultimate power to battle these demons; you simply need to know how to unlock it. To battle anxiety and depression, you must think on purpose. This book identifies five domains which block our ability to think on purpose: inner passivity, inner aggression, locus of control, cognitive distortion, and emotional distortion. You will learn how each of these affects your ability to think on purpose, and you will be able to take an assessment that identifies the levels of these five domains within you. Your journey toward mental and emotional well-being starts now! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Green. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/234134/bk_acx0_234134_sample.mp3.

Ordinary: Sustainable Faith in a Radical, Restless World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min

Radical. Crazy. Transformative and restless. Every word we read these days seems to suggest there's a "next-best-thing", if only we would change our comfortable, compromising lives. In fact, the greatest fear most Christians have is boredom - the sense that they are missing out on the radical life Jesus promised. One thing is certain. No one wants to be "ordinary". Yet pastor and author Michael Horton believes that our attempts to measure our spiritual growth by our experiences, constantly seeking after the next big breakthrough, have left many Christians disillusioned and disappointed. There's nothing wrong with an energetic faith; the danger is that we can burn ourselves out on restless anxieties and unrealistic expectations. What's needed is not another program or a fresh approach to spiritual growth; it's a renewed appreciation for the commonplace. Far from a call to low expectations and passivity, Horton invites listeners to recover their sense of joy in the ordinary. He provides a guide to a sustainable discipleship that happens over the long haul - not a quick fix that leaves listeners empty with unfulfilled promises. Convicting and ultimately empowering, Ordinary is not a call to do less; it's an invitation to experience the elusive joy of the ordinary Christian life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Essence of Buddhism: An Introduction to Its Philosophy and Practice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min

This lucid overview of the Buddhist path takes the perspective of the three "vehicles" of Tibetan Buddhism: the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. While these vehicles are usually presented as a historical development, they are here equated with the attitudes that individuals bring to their Buddhist practice. Basic to them all, however, is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice. Beginning with the Four Noble Truths, Traleg Rinpoche incorporates the expansive vision of the bodhisattva path and the transformative vision of Tantra. The final chapters present the transcendent view of Mahamudra. This view dispenses with all dualistic fixations and directly realizes the natural freedom of the mind itself. Along the way, the author provides vivid definitions of fundamental concepts such as compassion, emptiness, and Buddha-nature, and answers common questions: Why does Buddhism teach that there is "no self"? Are Buddhist teachings pessimistic? Does Buddhism encourage social passivity? What is the role of sex in Buddhist Tantra? Why is it said that "samsara is nirvana"? Does it take countless lifetimes to attain enlightenment, or can it be achieved in a moment? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Ansdell.

Making Small Groups Work: What Every Small Group Leader Needs to Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 434min

No matter what need brings a group of people together, from marriage enrichment to divorce recovery, from grief recovery to spiritual formation, members are part of a small group because they want to grow. This book by psychologists Henry Cloud and John Townsend provides small-group leaders with valuable guidance and information on how they can help their groups to grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. With insights from their best-selling book How People Grow, Cloud and Townsend show how God's plan for growth is made up of three key elements: grace plus truth plus time. When groups embrace those elements, they find God's grace and forgiveness and learn how to handle their imperfections without shame as they model God's love and support to one another. In addition to describing what makes small groups work, Making Small Groups Work explains the roles and responsibilities of both leaders and group members. Employing tenets from the book How People Grow, this book equips leaders to understand the ins and outs of how to promote growth; and using principles from their best-selling book Boundaries, they show how to identify and find solutions for common problems such as boredom, noncompliance, passivity, aggression, narcissism, spiritualization, over-neediness, over-giving, and nonstop talking. ungekürzt.
