    The Vicar of Wakefield , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min
    Called by Lord Byron, "The most exquisite of all romances in miniature," The Vicar of Wakefield is the story of a simple reverend who, losing his fortune, moves his family to a new part of the country and tries to live according to his beliefs. He and his family make an Arcadian picture of affectionate accord. That is, until the idyll is rudely disturbed by a notorious seducer. The book is a classic comedy of manners and a satire on the moralistic tales of the period. But the satire was done so well and so transparently that many people of the time took it quite seriously. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Walter Covell.

    Emotional Flow: A Holistic Approach to Healing Sadism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 244min
    This audiobook is both a science and a self-help essay that presents a non-moralistic, functional, and bioenergetic regard on emotions, sexuality, sexual paraphilias, and sexual crime that asserts the importance of the flowing, ethereal, and self-regulatory nature of our emotions.This regard, and the healing solutions the author is offering as a result, are the outcome of a long-term study of human emotions that started back in 1985 as a forensic analysis of sexual crime against children. It was later enriched and expanded through the larger context of his studies of alternative medicine, the I Ching, flow principles in nature, vibrational medicine, sound healing, and perennial science traditions from both the East and the West.The essay is not only informatory for a large array of possible listeners that includes forensic psychiatry, law-enforcement officials, educators, nurses, and law policy makers; it is also destined, as a self-help guide, to assist the individual listener in assessing their own emotional and sexual distortions, and profit from some of the techniques offered for healing them.The main concern of the guide is to show new holistic ways of coping with sadism, and particularly sexual sadism, acted out either toward adults or toward children. The approach taken is nonjudgmental and functional, not moralistic, and it emphasizes a bioenergetic point of departure.The audiobook informs about the true reasons for violent emotional and sexual afflictions and resulting misconduct, and offers viable alternatives to chaotic sexual behavior in the form of empathic advice, and suggestions for behavior adjustment, not through putting up self-punishment and guilt, but in the contrary through understanding the energy-nature and inherent intelligence in our emotions. From a policy perspective, the way to go, as the audiobook shows, is quite exactly the contrary of what is practiced now by our law makers and social policy makers; it’s ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Letter to a Friend
    When Buddhists say 'things arise due to causes and conditions,' they mean things come into being from a whole assembly of interrelated factors and events. We cannot trace a linear history or causal chain of events to their arising; they just come into being when the appropriate causes and conditions congregate at an appropriate time and place. When the causes and conditions that perpetuate or sustain the existence of that particular entity cease to present themselves, that particular entity will then disintegrate. Letter To A Friend explores coordinating body, speech and mind i such a way that produces positive karma and good outcomes. The Buddhist approach to moral or ethical values is not moralistic. Our moral and ethical values are part of a moral psychology, and part of our spiritual aspirations and orientation; they are not just about conduct.

    The Righteous Mind (eBook, ePUB)
    'A landmark contribution to humanity's understanding of itself' The New York TimesWhy can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as 'fairness' and 'freedom' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion?Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.

When she was still a child, Lucy Nelson had her alcoholic failure of a father thrown in jail. Ever since then, she has been trying to reform the men around her, even if that ultimately means destroying herself in the process. With his unerring portraits of Lucy and her hapless, childlike husband, Roy, Roth has created an uncompromising work of fictional realism, a vision of provincial American piety, yearning, and discontent that is at once pitiless and compassionate. ungekürzt.
