American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch: An Odyssey in the New China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min
Bill Bryson meets Bruce Lee in this raucously funny story of one scrawny American's quest to become a kung fu master at China's legendary Shaolin Temple.Growing up a 90-pound weakling tormented by bullies in the schoolyards of Kansas, young Matthew Polly dreamed of one day journeying to the Shaolin Temple in China to become the toughest fighter in the world, like Caine in his favorite 1970s TV series, Kung Fu. While in college, Matthew decided the time had come to pursue this quixotic dream before it was too late. Much to the dismay of his parents, he dropped out of Princeton to spend two years training with the legendary sect of monks who invented kung fu and Zen Buddhism.Expecting to find an isolated citadel populated by supernatural ascetics that he had seen in countless badly dubbed chop-socky flicks, Matthew instead discovered a tacky tourist trap run by Communist party hacks. But the dedicated monks still trained in the rigorous age-old fighting forms - some even practicing the "iron kung fu" discipline, in which intensive training can make various body parts virtually indestructible-even the crotch. As Matthew grew in his knowledge of China and kung fu skill, he would come to represent the temple in challenge matches and international competitions, and ultimately the monks would accept their new American initiate as close to one of their own as any Westerner had ever become.Laced with humor and illuminated by cultural insight, American Shaolin is an unforgettable coming-of-age tale of one young man's journey into the ancient art of kung fu - and a funny and poignant portrait of a rapidly changing China. ungekürzt.

Narcissist: The Real Truths About the Soul Crusher: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 314 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
The narcissist is the ultimate soul crusher. He strategically locates and selects his prey. He usually preys on the weak, the broken and the empathetic and sympathetic. He loves people who don’t believe in guns or violence, because he knows that he can control them without them putting up much of a fuss. The narcissist is a weakling beneath his tough exterior, thus you can believe that he will run if a male who is tougher than him challenges him.He also won’t mess with a tough female who has a significant following. He will pick out the introverted, the shy, and the females who are low in their own sense of self-worth. The narcissist will pick out the ones who are wavering in their own beliefs and morals. After all, these are the ones that will be the most easily manipulated, abused, put down, and controlled.Most narcissists fit into the dark triad trifecta. They are lumped in and classified with sadists, psychopaths, and serial killers. Most mental health disorders and psychological syndromes have the traits of self-centeredness and the low agreeableness associated with the dark triad personality types. The dark triad personality types fall low on the Big 5 Personality Types in the agreeableness feature. Thus, the narcissist is extremely easy to call out on his narcissism. He is the most disagreeable and fussy character in all the bunch. This audiobook refers to the narcissist as your partner. It refers to him as being male. However, narcissists can be female or even androgynous. Narcissists can be gay, straight, bisexual, asexual or any other sexual orientation. Narcissists can be engineers, doctors, lawyers, judges, police officers, nurses, garbage men, psychologists, psychiatrists, guardians ad litem, and more.When we refer to narcissist in this book, we refer to anyone with overly self-centered personality traits. People who are constantly low in agreeableness. They dislike helping others. They were always rebellious. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Beretta.

Jackson's Justice: Jackson Brothers Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 886min, (USK 18)
Twenty-year-old Jenny Harper has been in love with Heath Jackson since the day she saw him leap from a galloping horse to save an old woman when she was 11 years old. Over the years, Jenny has watched the women swarm around Heath, but she has her heart set on him and she is not one to give up easily. One way or another, she will show Heath she is a grown woman, ready for a husband, not the child he remembers tagging along after his younger brother. Unfortunately for Jenny, ever since he was left at the altar by a foolish girl who ran off to marry a wealthy old man, Heath Jackson has sworn off marriage, preferring instead the company of widows and saloon girls. And in any case, though he has secretly lusted after her for years, as far as Heath is concerned Jenny is too young, too much like family, and too eager to wed. But when tragedy strikes, putting more on Jenny’s shoulders than she can bear, her only hope of saving her family home lies in marrying quickly. Can Heath sit back while other men vie for her affections? Can he bear to watch in silence as she chooses a weakling when she desperately needs a strong man like him, one who will keep her safe and give her the sound discipline she needs when her impulsive ways place her in danger? Or will he stand up and claim what should be his, even if it means risking his heart again? Publisher’s Note: Jackson’s Justice is a stand-alone novel, which is the second entry in the Jackson Brothers series. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gideon Welles.

Bodybuilding: The Natural Way , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
Throw away those diet pills! Steroids don't cut it!Investigate one of the top rated muscle building programs on the InternetAre you the 140 pound weakling who is always getting sand kicked in his face?Have you given up on the idea of being the neighborhood hunk?Have you tried dieting and weight training and still don't seem to be able to bulk up?Well I can identify. I was that unfortunate fellow just a few years ago. No matter what I did I just could not seem to gain weight. I did everything that the bodybuilding magazines told me to but nothing seemed to work. This included starving myself, eating only protein, loading up with carbohydrates and working out seven times a week. Part of my problem was my absolute belief and faith in the delusions and myth that the diet and fitness industry had to tell me. Do you believe - You are too old to build new muscle?You inherited a condition that prevents you from gaining muscle?Only steroids can help you bulk up? You have to spend thousands of bodybuilding supplements to build muscle?You have to spend every day at the gym to get "cut"? That the bodybuilding industry wouldn't keep you skinny and weak on purpose - or would they?If you believe any of the statements above then you have probably already spent thousands of dollars on supplements that don't work. I had an eternal sense of optimism myself when I first got into the bodybuilding game. I never ever seemed to learn that most so called solutions were actually a waste of time and money. The result was that I began to really believe that I was going to be that guy from the old Charles Atlas Body Building Ad - the one waiting on the beach towel to have sand kicked in his face. It is one year later and I am now a solid 211 pounds and only 10% body fat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Eisley.
