Affluenza: How Over-Consumption Is Killing Us - And How We Can Fight Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
Affluenza, n. a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more. We tried to warn you! The 2008 economic collapse proved how resilient and dangerous affluenza can be. Now in its third edition, this audiobook can safely be called prophetic in showing how problems ranging from loneliness, endless working hours, and family conflict to rising debt, environmental pollution, and rampant commercialism are all symptoms of this global plague. The new edition traces the role overconsumption played in the Great Recession, discusses new ways to measure social health and success (such as the Gross Domestic Happiness index), and offers policy recommendations to make our society more simplicity-friendly. The underlying message isn’t to stop buying - it’s to remember, always, that the best things in life aren’t things. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Barrett.

Achieve health the right way: from the inside out! Many diet and fitness books claim losing ten pounds in ten days will bring the health and happiness we seek.

The Bet: Paul Ehrlich, Julian Simon, and Our Gamble over Earth's Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
In 1980, the iconoclastic economist Julian Simon challenged celebrity biologist Paul Ehrlich to a bet. Their wager on the future prices of five metals captured the public’s imagination as a test of coming prosperity or doom. Ehrlich, author of the landmark book The Population Bomb, predicted that rising populations would cause overconsumption, resource scarcity, and famine—with apocalyptic consequences for humanity. Simon optimistically countered that human welfare would flourish thanks to flexible markets, technological change, and our collective ingenuity. Simon and Ehrlich’s debate reflected a deepening national conflict over the future of the planet. The Bet weaves the two men’s lives and ideas together with the era’s partisan political clashes over the environment and the role of government. In a lively narrative leading from the dawning environmentalism of the 1960s through the pivotal presidential contest between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan and on into the 1990s, Paul Sabin shows how the fight between Ehrlich and Simon—between environmental fears and free-market confidence—helped create the gulf separating environmentalists and their critics today. Drawing insights from both sides, Sabin argues for using social values, rather than economic or biological absolutes, to guide society’s crucial choices relating to climate change, the planet’s health, and our own. ungekürzt.

The Culling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 835min
Carl Sims, a young virologist, discovers a plot hatched by a group of international scientists to cull, in a matter of weeks, two-thirds of the world's population - some 4.5 billion people - by releasing a deadly virus. Their goal is to reduce Earth's population from an unsustainable seven billion to two billion. What is he to do? Try to stop the conspiracy, or join it?It's horrific, yes, but what if this culling could prevent the extinction of some 40 percent of the planet's flora and fauna? Or if he was certain it was the only way to prevent an even larger human die-off, incurring significantly more suffering, by the end of this century? Or if he were convinced it represented the only hope for humanity surviving at all? This is at the heart of this thriller, for these viruses do, in fact, exist.Most everything that plagues mankind today - the highest concentration of atmospheric CO₂ in three million years, escalating extinction rates, habitat loss, fishery collapses, climate change, polar and glacial ice thaws, arable land loss, desertification, aquifer depletions, ocean acidification, unprecedented air pollution, looming famine, and social unrest - stems from overconsumption which, unchecked, will lead to Earth's sixth mass extinction event. ungekürzt.

My Simple Changes: I Healed My Autoimmune Disease and This Is My Story of How , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
Narrated by the author, Brandon Godsey.More than half of Americans live with a digestive disorder or autoimmune disease like IBS, Crohn's, colitis, or celiac. Finally, the simple solution is revealed by someone who put his “impossible” autoimmune disease into remission. Our modern world is set up with systems and processes that lead us to a weakened immune system and depleted microbiome, which in turn can cause disease. Chemically engineered substances, environmental toxins, low-quality ingredients, overused medicines, and overconsumption of unhealthy food combinations result in chronic conditions associated with inflammation, autoimmunity or poor gut health.After having suffered nearly 30 years of illnesses, undergoing extensive surgery, and nearly dying from complications of his autoimmune disorder, Crohn’s disease, Brandon Godsey set off to find his own solutions. His self-taught approach evolved from his decades of personal experience, five years of reading every label, researching every ingredient, and understanding all aspects of how his body functions. His determination to find the answers eventually led to hearing the words that everyone suffering from autoimmune disease deserves to hear: “No active disease.”This audiobook contains everything he learned. After listening to it, you too will have the tools to build the changes into your unique life. No gimmicks from stuffed pockets. No deceit or outside influence. Just Brandon’s story with your health at heart. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brandon Godsey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/227351/bk_acx0_227351_sample.mp3.

The Vice of Luxury: Economic Excess in a Consumer Age, Moral Traditions Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 781min
Luxury! The word alone conjures up visions of attractive, desirable lifestyle choices, yet luxury also faces criticism as a moral vice, harmful to both the self and society. Engaging ideas from business, marketing, and economics, The Vice of Luxury takes on the challenging task of naming how much is too much in today's consumer-oriented society.David Cloutier's critique goes to the heart of a fundamental contradiction. Though overconsumption and materialism make us uneasy, they also seem inevitable in advanced economies. Current studies of economic ethics focus on the structural problems of poverty, of international trade, of workers' rights, but rarely, if ever, do such studies speak directly to the excesses of the wealthy, including the middle classes of advanced economies. Cloutier proposes a new approach to economic ethics that focuses attention on our everyday economic choices. He shows why luxury is a problem, explains how to identify what counts as the vice of luxury today, and develops an ethic of consumption that is grounded in Christian moral convictions. This audiobook is published by Georgetown University Press."David Cloutier's insightful treatment of luxury is creative and prophetic, without the oversimplifications prevalent in much prophetic discourse today. Drawing on philosophy, economics, and theology, he traces the history of ideas about luxury in a manner both scholarly and accessible to a wide audience. A truly excellent volume that will challenge how most of us think about our own lives." (Daniel Rush Finn, St. John's University) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Morehead.

In addition, the common understanding regarding its cure, based on a medical perspective, is that it can only be cured with the assistance of surgery or other complicated methods. The problem with this view is that it does not take nutritional changes into account and only presents expensive, risky, and complicated methods to cure type 2 diabetes.The main point of The Diabetes Code is that since overconsumption of carbohydrates in a chronic manner leads to an insulin response in our bodies that causes diabetes, the most effective and fruitful way to reverse the disease is to lessen carbohydrate consumption. A huge number of clinical trials, among other things, have proven the role of a low-carbohydrate diet in obesity reduction.*This is an unofficial summary of The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally by Jason Fung.
