Gaslighting and Parental Alienation: (Personal Advice Included) Toxic Others, Book 14 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
Don’t expect dumb people to have anything but even dumber reasons for taking your children from you. This is sound advice that any parent must remember when parental alienation is being committed by misdirected court personnel, CPS and/or a gaslighter.We all think that court personnel are the brightest and the smartest individuals around. Wrong. The truth is that, in many small towns, there was no competition. The job had to go to somebody. And that "somebody" might be - you guessed it - not all that smart. That not-so-smart "somebody" is working on your case.What’s even worse? That "not so smart" court personnel teamed up with that "not so smart" gaslighter. They had some things in common. You weren’t like-minded enough, and you got ousted because you weren’t like them. You didn’t have the same dyslexic brain wiring or propensity toward psychopathy. You didn’t see things the way they saw them. You believed in advanced child-rearing things that they can’t possibly even wrap their small minds around.The court personnel probably teamed up and figured out your child wasn’t like you, either. For whatever reason, they figured that your child would relate better with the other parent. Maybe your ex and your child are both naughty little tricksters. Or, they are both...Get this audiobook now to hear more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ronald Fox. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/180741/bk_acx0_180741_sample.mp3.

The Secret Life of Fat: The Science Behind the Body's Least Understood Organ and What It Means for You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
This groundbreaking work of practical, popular science reveals that fat is much smarter than we think. Fat is an obsession, a dirty word, a subject of national hand-wringing - and, according to biochemist Sylvia Tara, the least understood part of our body. You may not love your fat, but your body certainly does. In fact your body is actually endowed with many self-defense measures to hold on to fat. For example, fat can use stem cells to regenerate; increase our appetite if it feels threatened; and use bacteria, genetics, and viruses to expand itself. The secret to losing 20 pounds? You have to work with your fat, not against it. Tara explains how your fat influences your appetite and willpower, how it defends itself when attacked, and why it grows back so quickly. The Secret Life of Fat brings cutting-edge research together with historical perspectives to reveal fat's true identity: an endocrine organ that, in the right amount, is critical to our health. Fat triggers puberty, enables our reproductive and immune systems, and even affects brain size. Although we spend $60 billion annually fighting fat, our efforts are often misinformed and misdirected. Tara expertly illustrates the complex roles that genetics, hormones, diet, exercise, and history play in our weight, and The Secret Life of Fat sets you on the path to beat the bulge once and for all. ungekürzt.

The Genius in All of Us: New Insights into Genetics, Talent, and IQ , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 314min
With irresistibly persuasive vigor, David Shenk debunks the long-standing notion of genetic giftedness, and presents dazzling new scientific research showing how greatness is in the reach of every individual.DNA does not make us who we are. Forget everything you think you know about genes, talent, and intelligence, he writes. In recent years, a mountain of scientific evidence has emerged suggesting a completely new paradigm: not talent scarcity, but latent talent abundance.Integrating cutting-edge research from a wide swath of disciplines, cognitive science, genetics, biology, child development, Shenk offers a highly optimistic new view of human potential. The problem isn't our inadequate genetic assets, but our inability, so far, to tap into what we already have. IQ testing and widespread acceptance of innate abilities have created an unnecessarily pessimistic view of humanity and fostered much misdirected public policy, especially in education.The truth is much more exciting. Genes are not a blueprint that bless some with greatness and doom most of us to mediocrity or worse. Rather our individual destinies are a product of the complex interplay between genes and outside stimuli-a dynamic that we, as people and as parents, can influence.This is a revolutionary and optimistic message. We are not prisoners of our DNA. We all have the potential for greatness.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English.

What If?: The Art of Crushing Anxiety , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
You’re anxious! Here’s the good news: so are millions of others. Better news: you can learn to turn it off. Anxiety comes in many different flavors, some more severe than others, but all usually originating from the same source, which is our well-intentioned, but misdirected “what if?”, thinking. Maybe you’re stressed at work, feeling too much pressure, and need a way to turn off the chatter in your mind. You may be chronically anxious, with concerns that gnaw away at your well-being but never escalate into a dramatic panic attack. Or you may be experiencing debilitating anxiety, under constant bombardment and living in terror of the next attack. On the flip side, you may be functioning pretty well, and no one even knows you’re dealing with anxiety. Whatever your particular experience with anxiety, you more than likely want relief. Author Erik Kieser is no stranger to chronic and acute anxiety, and in this book he will share a toolbox to help every shade of anxiety fighter. “I know how dark the days can get, how terrifying the nights can feel, and how hopeless everything can come to seem,” Erik says. “I understand in a deeply personal way how fear can lock down and shut off a person’s life, how fear can limit our belief in our range of options, even how fear can leave you feeling as if there are no options at all.” Erik will explain why we learn to fear what we fear, and he will provide you with a set of tools to master your fears and meet the source of your anxiety head-on. ungekürzt.

Want Not , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1029min
A compulsively listenable, deeply human novel that examines our most basic and unquenchable emotion: want. With his critically acclaimed first novel, Jonathan Miles was widely praised as a comic genius "after something bigger" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) whose fiction was "not just philosophically but emotionally rewarding" (Richard Russo, New York Times Book Review, front cover). Now, in his much-anticipated second novel, Want Not, Miles takes a giant leap forward with this highly inventive and corrosively funny story of our times, a three-pronged tale of human excess that sifts through the detritus of several disparate lives - lost loves, blown chances, countless words, and deeds misdirected or misunderstood - all conjoined in their come-hell-or-high-water search for fulfillment. As the novel opens on Thanksgiving Day, listeners are telescoped into three different worlds in various states of disrepair - a young freegan couple living off the grid in New York City; a once-prominent linguist, sacked at midlife by the dissolution of his marriage and his father’s losing battle with Alzheimer’s; and a self-made debt-collecting magnate, whose brute talent for squeezing money out of unlikely places has yielded him a royal existence, trophy wife included. Want and desire propel these characters forward toward something, anything, more, until their worlds collide, briefly, randomly, yet irrevocably, in a shattering ending that will haunt listeners long after the last lines. With a satirist’s eye and a romantic’s heart, Miles captures the morass and comedy of contemporary life in all its excess. Bold, unblinking, unforgettable in its irony and pathos, Want Not is a wicked, big-hearted literary novel that confirms the arrival of a major voice in American fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Metaphysics of War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 237min
These essays, originally written by Evola during the 1930s and '40s, deal with war from a spiritual and heroic perspective. Evola selects specific examples from the Nordic, Vedic, Roman, Persian, Islamic, and other traditions to demonstrate how traditionalists can prepare themselves to experience war in a way that will allow them to overcome the limited possibilities offered by our materialistic and degraded age, thereby transcending the Age of Kali and entering the world of heroism by achieving a higher state of consciousness, which Evola depicts as an effective realization of the ultimate purpose of life. His call to action, however, is not that of today's armies, which ask nothing more of their soldiers than to become mercenaries in the temporary employ of a decadent class. Still less is it a call to misdirected or nihilistic violence. Rather, Evola presents the warrior as one who lives an integrated and purposeful way of life - one who adopts a specifically Aryan view of the world in which the political aims of a war are not its ultimate justification, but rather war is seen as merely a means through which the warrior finds his calling to a higher and more complete form of existence beyond the political, and in accordance with the teachings of the great spiritual texts. More importantly, he shows how the ideal of the warrior extends beyond the battlefield into other aspects of traditional living, even in times of peace.Julius Evola (1898-1974) was an Italian traditionalist, metaphysician, and political philosopher. He remains a leading authority on the world's esoteric traditions and one of the greatest critics of modernity. He wrote extensively on the ancient civilizations and beliefs of both East and West and the world of Tradition. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Henry Oliver.

Tempted Women: The Passions, Perils, and Agonies of Female Infidelity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min
Over the past ten years the numbers of wives who have affairs has grown dramatically. Recent surveys suggest by as much as 50 percent. Yet, in all the acres of space devoted to male infidelity, so far this has been a largely untouched subject. In this guide, Carol Botwin - advice columnist, therapist and author - rushes to help rather than to condemn. Drawing from 600 interviews and case histories - with both husbands and wives - Botwin examines causes, initial attractions, affairs in progress, endings and aftermaths. Throughout she offers her experienced advice and solutions on how to deal with a lover, children, and husband after the affair has dealt a devastating blow to the marriage. Carol Botwin, a leading sexologist and columnist, brings together her research and interviews with more than four hundred women. Tempted Women is loaded with candid, fascinating stories of women giving in to instant sexual attractions, having affairs with co-workers, and carrying on emotional liaisons that last decades. Women tell - in their own words - how their misdirected intentions and runaway temptation led to incredibly passionate extra-marital sex and painful consequences. Botwin outlines ways to foresee whether a woman will have an affair and breaks down affairs into predictable stages. She asks questions such as, "Are affairs without sex really possible?" and "What do you do about the man you can't forget?" and answers them. She explains the causes of infidelity, and the solutions. Combining the support of an empathetic confidante and Botwin's trademark practical advice, Tempted Women is a friend to reach out to for the millions of women who are having an affair - and for the innumerable women who think about it. Carol Botwin is a well-known sexologist and has been a columnist for Woman and New Woman magazines. She has written for Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Day, and Redbook. Her articles hav ungekürzt.

1962: The War That Wasn't: The Definitive Account of the Clash Between India and China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1160min
On 20 October 1962, high in the Himalayas, on the banks of the fast-flowing Nam Ka Chu, over 400 Indian soldiers were massacred, and the valley was overrun by soldiers of China's People's Liberation Army. Over the course of the next month, nearly 4,000 soldiers were killed on both sides, and the Indian army experienced its worst defeat ever. The conflict (war was never formally declared) ended because China announced a unilateral ceasefire on 21 November and halted its hitherto unhindered advance across NEFA and Ladakh. To add to India's lasting shame, neither Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru nor the Indian army was even aware that the 'war' had ended until they heard the announcement on the radio - despite the Indian embassy having been given the information two days earlier. This conflict continues to be one of our least understood episodes. Many books have been written on the events of the time, usually by those who were involved in some way, anxious to provide justification for their actions. These accounts have succeeded only in muddying the picture further. What is clear is that 1962 was an unmitigated disaster. The terrain on which most of the battles were fought (or not fought) was remote and inaccessible; the troops were sorely underequipped, lacking even warm clothing; and the men and officers who tried to make a stand were repeatedly let down by their political and military superiors. Time and again, in Nam Ka Chu, Bum-la, Tawang, Se-la, Thembang, Bomdila - all in the Kameng Frontier Division of NEFA in the Eastern Sector - and in Ladakh and Chusul in the Western Sector, our forces were mismanaged, misdirected or left to fend for themselves. If the Chinese army hadn't decided to stop its victorious campaign, the damage would have been far worse. In this definitive account of the conflict, based on dozens of interviews with soldiers and numerous others who had a firsthand view of what actually happened in 1962, Shiv Kunal Verma takes us on ungekürzt.
