EMBER - Part Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 179min
The second part of EMBER, a three-part series from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Deborah Bladon. Bridget Grant has never met anyone like Dane Beckett. He has been her savior, and the more time they've spent together, the more she has realized that he sees only the best in her. He's pushed her to take the steps she needs to in order to change her life, and just as she's on the brink of making her dreams come true, it all comes to a screeching - and horrifying - halt. As Bridget begins to pick up the pieces of her life after a terrifying accident, Dane is right by her side. He offers her the comfort she needs, and the more time they spend together, the more she realizes that he's everything she's ever wanted. His past hangs over both of their heads, stalling the promise of what might be. Bridget worries that she'll lose the only man she's ever truly cared for to a woman she's never even met. She knows she needs to be careful, but her heart is guiding her in a direction she knows she may regret. When Dane finally makes a decision that will clear the path for the two of them, Bridget is forced to face the shocking truth about the man who she's been sharing her bed with and the life he abandoned the night he met her. ungekürzt.

30 Days to Launch!: An Entrepreneurs Diary to Building a Billion Dollar Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 171min
Launching a business may seem like no easy task. It can seem completely bewildering, overwhelming, almost impossible. Where do you even start? And once you start, what do you do next? With this remarkable audiobook, the impossible is possible. If you have an idea, a spark of a dream, but you’re stalling on how to make it a reality, then this audiobook will show you how to do so - one day at a time.There are so many young, hungry entrepreneurs in this world waiting for their big break. The simple secret most of them haven’t discovered is that while they have an insatiable appetite to perfect their idea or product before launching, the real progress only comes one way: by doing the work. A goal without a detailed plan is just a dream, one that will probably turn into a nightmare. This process will help you define your goals and create a plan to see them to fruition. Rick’s philosophy for business is quite simple: granular changes every day - hitting singles instead of finding yourself at home plate, in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and the do-or-die pressure to hit a grand slam.This audiobook is a start-up boot camp. Should you choose to accept this mission, you will spend the next 30 days jump-starting your business. Are you willing to take massive action, ready to make mistakes, fail forward fast, and start taking control of your own life?If so, it’s 30 days - let’s do this! ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Cloud in the Shape of a Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min
From National Book Award finalist and the New York Times best-selling author of The Year We Left Home comes a moving family saga about three generations of women who struggle to find freedom and happiness in their small Midwestern college town.A Cloud in the Shape of a Girl is a poignant novel about three generations of the Wise family - Evelyn, Laura, and Grace - as they hunt for contentment amid chaos of their own making.Evelyn set aside her career to marry, late, and motherhood never became her. Her daughter, Laura, felt this acutely and wants desperately to marry, but she soon discovers her husband, Gabe, to be a man who expects too much of everyone in his life, especially his musician son. Grace has moved out from Laura and Gabe’s house but can’t seem to live up to her potential - whatever that might be.In A Cloud in the Shape of a Girl, we see these women and their trials, small and large: social slights and heartbreaks; marital disappointments and infidelities; familial dysfunction; mortality. Spanning from World War II to the present, Thompson reveals a matrilineal love story that is so perfectly grounded in our time - a story of three women regressing, stalling, and, yes, evolving over decades. One of the burning questions she asks is: By serving her family, is a woman destined to repeat the mistakes of previous generations, or can she transcend the expectations of a place and a time? Can she truly be free?Evelyn, Laura, and Grace are the glue that binds their family together, tethered to their small Midwestern town - by choice or chance. Jean Thompson seamlessly weaves together the stories of the Wise women with humanity and elegance, through their heartbreaks, setbacks, triumphs, and tragedies. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Aristocracy of Talent
THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR'This unique and fascinating history explains why the blame now being piled upon meritocracy for many social ills is misplaced-and that assigning responsibilities to the people best able to discharge them really is better than the time-honoured customs of corruption, patronage, nepotism and hereditary castes. Wooldridge upends many common assumptions and provides an indispensable back story to this fraught and pressing issue.' Steven Pinker'The Aristocracy of Talent provides an important and needed corrective to contemporary critiques of meritocracy. It puts meritocracy in an illuminating historical and cross-cultural perspective that shows how crucial the judgment of people by their talents rather than their bloodlines or connections has been to creating the modern world. Highly recommended' Francis Fukuyama*Shortlisted for the 2021 Financial Times and McKinsey & Company Business Book of the Year Award*Meritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their status at birth. For much of history this was a revolutionary thought, but by the end of the twentieth century it had become the world's ruling ideology. How did this happen, and why is meritocracy now under attack from both right and left? Adrian Wooldridge traces the history of meritocracy forged by the politicians and officials who introduced the revolutionary principle of open competition, the psychologists who devised methods for measuring natural mental abilities and the educationalists who built ladders of educational opportunity. He looks outside western cultures and shows what transformative effects it has had everywhere it has been adopted, especially once women were brought into the meritocractic system.Wooldridge also shows how meritocracy has now become corrupted and argues that the recent stalling of social mobility is the result of failure to complete the meritocratic revolution. Rather than abandoning meritocracy, he says, we should call for its renewal.- Shop: buecher

How did the contraceptive pill change the face of the legal profession? Why was the horse collar as important for human progress as the steam engine?

The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min
From Inc.com's most popular columnist, a counterintuitive - but highly practical - guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things. It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level - at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self-help books and strategies that have failed us in the past - and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams. Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration - as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe - but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn two million views a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month. Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ray Porter.
